This list tracks stuff to fix during the post-7.0 feature freeze.

Hint: run pdm fixme to grep code for related comments.

CLI

• Cache latest release from GitHub for version check in xdg_shared_dir #1095
• Import everything .py from the project on startup (run only)

Datasources

• Revise HttpConfig defaults (reasonable retry time, rate limits)
• Reduce copypaste in code related to WebSocket connection
• Refactor TzKT indexes #875
• EVM: Messy web3 integration. Check the new WS provider.
• EVM: Realtime datasource lifecycle. More robust switching between states.

Database

• immune_tables on SQLite require unsafe_sqlite flag. Something with PRAGMAs I guess.

Tests

• Helpers to test a single handler/hook
• Minimize test_demos traffic
• Add test for demo_evm_events
• Realtime part not covered at all

Docs

• Config reference in docs is unreadable #782
• Ensure that essential public interfaces are covered with docstrings
• Some DipDupError help messages are outdated
• SQL queries, parametrization
• demo_factories project is not about factories #798
• Fix operation matching when contract code hash specified as a string #807

CI

• Bugs in GitHub Action definitions #748

Code quality

• Undocumented constants (mostly sleeps)
• Exception handling code is very ugly #808
• Type ignores and noqa's

Monitoring

• Prometheus integration is outdated #712
• Make warnings more available. Separate log, section in report?
