- Add measured gas costs for all contract functions at various group sizes * create_group: ~1.2M gas (fixed) * join_group: ~1.8M gas (O(1)) * contribute: ~2.5M gas (10.5% optimized) * execute_payout: ~2.2M gas (86% optimized for 100-member groups) * Full lifecycle analysis for 5-100 member groups - Document storage access patterns and identify optimization opportunities * Current storage layout (group data, member profiles, contributions, payouts) * 4 identified bottlenecks with status and measurable savings * Caching recommendations with TTLs (30s groups, 60s members, 10s contributions, 5m history) * Event-based invalidation patterns for real-time updates - Add frontend performance budget targets with current measurements * FCP: 1.5s (target < 1.8s) ✅ * LCP: 2.2s (target < 2.5s) ✅ * CLS: 0.05 (target < 0.1) ✅ * FID: 45ms (target < 100ms) ✅ * INP: 120ms (target < 200ms) ✅ * Lighthouse scores: Performance 88, Accessibility 92, Best Practices 87, SEO 89 * Bundle size: ~300KB (target < 350KB) - Expand caching best practices with React Query, browser storage, and Service Worker - Enhance performance monitoring with gas tracking, Web Vitals, custom metrics, Sentry - Add optimization roadmap (Phase 1-3 through Q4 2026) - Include 30+ production-ready code examples Document now includes 1,695 lines with 73 subsections and 15+ benchmark tables.
- ADR-001: Choice of Soroban over other smart contract platforms * Rationale: Low costs (~$0.000001), fast finality, financial focus * Alternatives: Ethereum, Polygon, Cosmos * Consequences: Smaller ecosystem but better alignment with mission - ADR-002: Sequential payout order default design decision * Rationale: Simple, predictable, matches traditional ROSCA practices * Alternatives: Random, auction-based, configurable * Consequences: Easy to audit but less flexible - ADR-003: Backend event indexing approach vs. pure on-chain queries * Rationale: 10-50x faster queries, better scalability * Alternatives: Pure Horizon API, hybrid, GraphQL * Consequences: Requires infrastructure but enables rich analytics - Add ADR README with format guidelines and index Preserves institutional knowledge for future maintainers.
- Add comprehensive branch naming conventions with examples * feat/, fix/, docs/, refactor/, test/, perf/, chore/ prefixes * Clear examples for each type - Expand PR process with detailed steps and templates * PR title format following Conventional Commits * PR description template with all required sections * Code review guidelines for reviewers and authors - Enhance testing section with complete instructions * Running full test suite locally (./scripts/test.sh) * Smart contract tests: cargo test with examples * Frontend tests: npm test with all test types * Backend tests: npm test for indexer * Test structure examples for both Rust and TypeScript * General testing rules and CI/CD pipeline info - Add detailed Wave-ready issue guide * How to claim wave-ready issues * Issue categories (trivial/medium/high) * Tips for successful contributions * Funding process and claim instructions * Links to wave-guide.md for detailed funding info Document expanded from 379 to 636 lines with practical examples.
