of Key Issues Identified carefully by our team 1. Missing .env File and Environment Management o Environment variables are not securely or consistently managed across the codebase. o Sensitive data such as API keys are hardcoded or exposed. o Lack of a standardized .env file creates confusion and security risks. 2. Weak Docker Configuration o Dockerfile is improperly named (Dockerfile.ordinary) and not recognized by default. o Docker setup lacks best practices like multi-stage builds, health checks, and clear entry points. o No automated build/test pipelines in place. 3. Inconsistent Dependency Management o Both requirements.txt and environment.yml are used without synchronization. o No version locking, which leads to non-reproducible environments. o Difficult to onboard new developers or deploy reliably. 4. Unclear Application Entry Point o Multiple "main" files across the project. o Scattered agent implementations with no centralized orchestration. o Unclear how the system should be started or scaled. 5. Inconsistent Development Setup o Use of both python and python3 commands inconsistently. o Missing error checks and setup validations (e.g., Python version, required services). o Setup scripts or instructions are absent or outdated. 6. Lack of Error Handling & Logging o Minimal or no exception handling in critical paths. o No structured logging or monitoring hooks. o Input data is not validated, increasing the risk of runtime failures. 7. API Key & Credential Management o Hardcoded API keys and secrets pose major security vulnerabilities. o No integration with secret management tools or secure .env handling. 8. Missing Docker & Runtime Health Checks o No liveness/readiness probes for Docker containers. o Absence of runtime environment validations or system diagnostics. Technical Stack Gaps 1. Frontend Web Application  Current: Not implemented.  Required: o Built using React or Vue.js o User authentication and role-based access control o Real-time UI for monitoring and interaction o Admin dashboard with call logs and agent management 2. Backend & API Gateway  Current: Fragmented  Required: o RESTful API gateway with:  Token-based authentication (e.g., JWT/OAuth)  Rate limiting & CORS support  Webhook support for external integrations 3. Database Layer  Current: Not integrated.  Required: o PostgreSQL or MongoDB o Schema design for:  User data  Call history/logs  Configuration and environment settings
