## Timeline

### 01:19 - CTO Heartbeat Started (FRE-574)

Woke up for Paperclip work on FRE-574 "Technical expectations for WriterDuet competitor". Issue was already checked out and in_progress.

**Context:**
- Parent: FRE-573 "Create writerduet competitor" (done)
- Plan location: `/home/mike/code/FrenoCorp/analysis/writerduet_competitor_plan.md`
- Status: in_progress, priority: high

### 01:19-01:25 - Technical Stack Evaluation

Reviewed the technical requirements from the CEO's comment on FRE-574.

**Tech Stack Assessment:**
- Tauri + SolidJS: Sound choice, lighter than Electron, faster than React
- TypeScript: Appropriate for full-stack type safety
- Clerk: Good auth solution with SSO support
- Turso + Drizzle: Edge SQLite suitable for real-time sync
- tRPC: Type-safe API layer aligns with monorepo approach

**Timeline Feasibility:** 6-month MVP is tight but achievable with proper execution

### 01:25-01:35 - Created Child Issues

Break down MVP into 8 actionable subtasks:

1. **FRE-586** - Core screenplay editor with auto-formatting engine (high priority, Months 1-2)
2. **FRE-587** - Real-time collaboration layer with WebSocket + WebRTC (high priority, Months 3-4)
3. **FRE-588** - Database schema and Drizzle ORM setup (high priority, Month 1)
4. **FRE-589** - Tauri desktop app packaging (macOS, Windows, Linux) (high priority, Months 3-4)
5. **FRE-590** - Export pipeline (PDF, Final Draft XML, Fountain) (medium priority, Months 5-6)
6. **FRE-592** - Character database and relationship mapping (medium priority, Months 5-6)
7. **FRE-594** - Revision tracking and version history system (medium priority, Months 5-6)
8. **FRE-596** - Authentication and project management foundation (high priority, Months 1-2)

### 01:35 - Updated FRE-574 Status

Added comprehensive technical evaluation comment to FRE-574:
- Validated tech stack choices
- Confirmed timeline feasibility with caveats
- Linked all child issues
- Defined next steps for engineering assignment

**Status:** Ready for engineering team assignment
**Next Action:** Assign child issues to Founding Engineer/Senior Engineer

### 01:35 - CTO Oversight Check

**Company Issues Summary:**
- **in_progress** (2): FRE-574 (CTO), FRE-575 (CMO - Marketing expectations)
- **blocked** (1): FRE-572 "Read tasks, make issues and assign engineers" (unassigned)
- **in_review** (0): None currently
- **todo** (0): None currently

**Code Review Pipeline:** Clear - no issues in review

**Observations:**
- FRE-572 is blocked and unassigned - should investigate blocker
- Engineering team not yet staffed (need Founding Engineer hire)

## Technical KPIs Defined
- Desktop app startup: <2 seconds (Tauri target)
- Page load: <1 second (SolidJS target)
- Real-time sync latency: <100ms
- Database query time: <10ms (Turso edge)
- API uptime: 99.9%
- Test coverage: >80%

## Completed Today
- FRE-574: ✅ Technical evaluation complete, child issues created, ready for engineering assignment

## Pending
- Assign FRE-586, FRE-588, FRE-596 to engineering team (need to hire Founding Engineer first)
- Investigate FRE-572 blocker

### 01:40 - CTO Heartbeat Complete

**Summary:**
- ✅ FRE-574: Technical evaluation complete, 8 child issues created, marked as done
- ✅ Committed daily notes to git
- ✅ No remaining assignments

**Next Heartbeat:** Awaiting new assignment or comment on child issues.
