Frontend loses ability to fetch weather data + - All API endpoints become unavailable + - Scalar documentation becomes inaccessible +- **Cascading Effects**: + - Frontend displays "Loading..." state indefinitely + - User experience completely broken + - No fallback or cached data available + +#### 2. **Frontend Service Failure** +**Blast Radius**: HIGH +- **Direct Impact**: + - Users cannot access the web interface + - No visual representation of weather data +- **Isolated Effects**: + - Backend API remains functional + - API can still be accessed via direct HTTP calls + - Scalar documentation remains available at `/scalar` + +#### 3. **Configuration Changes** +**Blast Radius**: MEDIUM-HIGH +- **WEATHER_URL Configuration**: + - Incorrect URL breaks Frontend-Backend communication + - Must match backend service location + - Affects: `appsettings.json`, environment variables +- **Port Changes**: + - Requires updates in multiple locations: + - `devcontainer.json` (port forwarding) + - `launch.json` (debugging configuration) + - `appsettings.json` (WEATHER_URL) + +#### 4. **NuGet Package Updates** +**Blast Radius**: LOW-MEDIUM +- **Microsoft.AspNetCore.OpenApi**: + - Affects OpenAPI document generation + - Potential breaking changes in API schema +- **Scalar.AspNetCore**: + - Affects API documentation UI only + - No impact on core functionality + +#### 5. **.NET Framework Upgrade** +**Blast Radius**: HIGH +- **Affected Components**: + -
