⚠️ Known Issues

1. Meilisearch Authentication (MEDIUM)

Issue: API key mismatch blocks search indexing Impact: OCR works and saves to DB, but search indexing fails Workaround: OCR pipeline fully functional, search can be added later Fix Time: 15 minutes (restart Meilisearch with known key) Status: Non-blocking for core functionality

2. Frontend Incomplete (LOW)

Issue: Vue UI components not implemented Impact: No web interface, API works via curl Workaround: Use curl/Postman for API testing Fix Time: 8-12 hours (Vue components) Status: Backend fully functional

3. No Authentication (MEDIUM)

Issue: Open API endpoints Impact: Security risk for production Workaround: Local development only Fix Time: 4-6 hours (JWT implementation) Status: JWT infrastructure ready
