  Perform a comprehensive analysis of the project codebase to identify potential bugs, code smells, and areas of improvement.

  ## Analysis Checklist:

  ### 1. Static Code Analysis
  - [ ] Run linting tools to identify syntax and style issues
  - [ ] Check for unused variables, imports, and dead code
  - [ ] Identify potential type errors or mismatches
  - [ ] Look for deprecated API usage

  ### 2. Common Bug Patterns
  - [ ] Check for null/undefined reference errors
  - [ ] Identify potential race conditions
  - [ ] Look for improper error handling
  - [ ] Check for resource leaks (memory, file handles, connections)
  - [ ] Identify potential security vulnerabilities (XSS, SQL injection, etc.)

  ### 3. Code Quality Issues
  - [ ] Identify overly complex functions (high cyclomatic complexity)
  - [ ] Look for code duplication
  - [ ] Check for missing or inadequate input validation
  - [ ] Identify hardcoded values that should be configurable

  ### 4. Testing Gaps
  - [ ] Identify untested code paths
  - [ ] Check for missing edge case tests
  - [ ] Look for inadequate error scenario testing

  ### 5. Performance Concerns
  - [ ] Identify potential performance bottlenecks
  - [ ] Check for inefficient algorithms or data structures
  - [ ] Look for unnecessary database queries or API calls

  ## Deliverables:
  1. Prioritized list of identified issues
  2. Recommendations for fixes
  3. Estimated effort for addressing each issue

  Write unit tests to improve code coverage and ensure reliability.

  ## Unit Testing Checklist

  ### 1. Identify What to Test
  - [ ] Run coverage report to find untested functions
  - [ ] List the specific functions/methods to test
  - [ ] Note current coverage percentage

  ### 2. Write Tests
  - [ ] Test the happy path (expected behavior)
  - [ ] Test edge cases (empty inputs, boundaries)
  - [ ] Test error cases (invalid inputs, exceptions)
  - [ ] Mock external dependencies
  - [ ] Use descriptive test names

  ### 3. Test Quality
  - [ ] Each test focuses on one behavior
  - [ ] Tests can run independently
  - [ ] No hardcoded values that might change
  - [ ] Clear assertions that verify the behavior

  ## Examples to Cover:
  - Normal inputs → Expected outputs
  - Empty/null inputs → Proper handling
  - Invalid inputs → Error cases
  - Boundary values → Edge case behavior

  ## Goal
  Achieve at least 80% coverage for the target component

  ## Deliverables
  1. New test file(s) with comprehensive unit tests
  2. Updated coverage report
  3. All tests passing

  Improve code structure and maintainability without changing functionality.

  ## Refactoring Checklist

  ### 1. Identify Refactoring Targets
  - [ ] Run code analysis tools (linters, complexity analyzers)
  - [ ] Identify code smells (long methods, duplicate code, large classes)
  - [ ] Check for outdated patterns or deprecated approaches
  - [ ] Review areas with frequent bugs or changes

  ### 2. Plan the Refactoring
  - [ ] Define clear goals (what to improve and why)
  - [ ] Ensure tests exist for current functionality
  - [ ] Create a backup branch
  - [ ] Break down into small, safe steps

  ### 3. Common Refactoring Actions
  - [ ] Extract methods from long functions
  - [ ] Remove duplicate code (DRY principle)
  - [ ] Rename variables/functions for clarity
  - [ ] Simplify complex conditionals
  - [ ] Extract constants from magic numbers/strings
  - [ ] Group related functionality into modules
  - [ ] Remove dead code

  ### 4. Maintain Functionality
  - [ ] Run tests after each change
  - [ ] Keep changes small and incremental
  - [ ] Commit frequently with clear messages
  - [ ] Verify no behavior has changed

  ### 5. Code Quality Improvements
  - [ ] Apply consistent formatting
  - [ ] Update to modern syntax/features
  - [ ] Improve error handling
  - [ ] Add type annotations (if applicable)

  ## Success Criteria
  - All tests still pass
  - Code is more readable and maintainable
  - No new bugs introduced
  - Performance not degraded

  ## Deliverables
  1. Refactored code with improved structure
  2. All tests passing
  3. Brief summary of changes made
