Metadata

Commit Message: refactor: resolve all TODO/FIXME comments in the codebase
Branch: refactor/resolve-todo-fixme-comments

Background and Context

There are 139 instances of "TODO" or "FIXME" comments in the codebase. This represents a significant amount of technical debt that should be addressed.

Evidence:

A grep command for "TODO|FIXME" returned 139 matches.

Recommended Remediation:

Review all "TODO" and "FIXME" comments in the codebase.
Create new issues for any comments that require significant work.
Address any comments that can be resolved quickly.
Remove the "TODO" or "FIXME" comment once the work is complete.

To find all the comments, run the following command:

grep -r "TODO\|FIXME" .

Expected Behavior

All "TODO" and "FIXME" comments in the codebase are resolved. Each comment is either:

Addressed in-place (for quick fixes), or
Tracked as a dedicated issue (for significant work), or
Removed if no longer relevant.

No TODO or FIXME comments remain in the codebase without a corresponding tracked issue.

Acceptance Criteria

All 139 TODO/FIXME comments have been reviewed.
Comments requiring significant work have been converted into dedicated issues.
Comments that can be resolved quickly have been addressed in-place.
Comments that are no longer relevant have been removed.
Running grep -r "TODO\|FIXME" . returns zero results (or only results with corresponding tracked issues).
No regressions introduced by the changes.
Test coverage remains >= 97%.

Subtasks

Run grep -r "TODO\|FIXME" . and catalogue all 139 instances with their file paths and line numbers.
Categorise each comment: quick fix, needs new issue, or obsolete/remove.
Create dedicated issues for all comments requiring significant work.
Resolve all quick-fix comments in-place.
Remove all obsolete TODO/FIXME comments.
Verify grep -r "TODO\|FIXME" . returns zero untracked results.
Run nox (all default sessions) and fix any errors.
Verify coverage >= 97% via nox -s coverage_report.

All subtasks above are completed and checked off.

✅ Triage Decision: VERIFIED — MoSCoW/Could Have

Valid code quality improvement: resolving TODO/FIXME comments reduces technical debt. However, this is a broad, low-priority cleanup task that should be done opportunistically rather than as a dedicated effort.

Priority/Low — Technical debt cleanup; not blocking any functionality.
