Inconsistent naming: The file uses both "agent-optimized" (lowercase in body) and "Agent-Optimized" (title case in section heading at line 1353). Consider standardizing to one style for consistency throughout the document.

The DownloadQueue class uses Path("resources/config/queue.json") as QUEUE_FILE on line 488. This hardcoded path may cause issues if the working directory changes or if the application is run from a different location. Consider using a path relative to the module location or making it configurable.
| QUEUE_FILE = Path("resources/config/queue.json") | |
| QUEUE_FILE = (Path(__file__).resolve().parent / "resources" / "config" / "queue.json") |

In the DownloadQueue._save() method on lines 513-517, writing directly to the queue file could result in data corruption if the application crashes during the write operation. Consider using atomic writes (write to a temporary file, then rename) to prevent corruption, as mentioned in POTENTIAL_ISSUES.md line 239.

The error handling in DownloadQueue._load() on lines 509-510 prints a warning to stdout but doesn't log it through a proper logging system. This makes it difficult to diagnose issues in production. Consider using Python's logging module or providing a callback for error reporting.
| print(f"Warning: Could not load queue: {e}") | |
| import logging | |
| logging.getLogger(__name__).warning( | |
| "Could not load download queue from %s: %s", | |
| self.QUEUE_FILE, | |

The AppConfig._from_dict() method on lines 861-866 doesn't validate that the nested dictionaries contain valid data before passing them to the dataclass constructors. If the configuration file contains invalid data types or missing required fields, this could raise unexpected exceptions. Consider adding validation or using a try-except block with more specific error handling.
| network = NetworkConfig(**data.get('network', {})) | |
| download = DownloadConfig(**data.get('download', {})) | |
| ui = UIConfig(**data.get('ui', {})) | |

The QueueDialog._auto_refresh() method creates an infinite loop of after() calls that's only stopped when the dialog is destroyed. If destroy() is not called properly or if there's an exception before destroy() completes, the after() job may continue running indefinitely, causing a resource leak. Consider adding error handling to ensure the refresh job is cancelled in all code paths.

| self._refresh_job = self.after(1000, self._auto_refresh) | |

User description
The roadmap needed restructuring to be usable by AI coding agents. The original document was prose-heavy and lacked the structured format agents need to parse and execute tasks effectively.
