## π― DEVELOPER CONTINUATION PATH
A new developer can:
1. **Understand Current State** (2 minutes)
- Read `README.md` β Week 11 complete, ready for Week 12
- Check `PROGRESS.md` β 33% complete, detailed metrics
- Review `docs/WEEK_12_PLAN.md` β Next steps defined
2. **Set Up Environment** (10 minutes)
```bash
./scripts/setup-week-11.sh
docker-compose -f docker-compose.week11.yml up -d
npm run start:week-11
```
3. **Verify Everything Works** (5 minutes)
```bash
./scripts/health-check-week11.sh
npm test -- --config=jest.config.week11.js
npm run demo:week-11
```
4. **Start Week 12 Development** (immediate)
- Follow `docs/WEEK_12_PLAN.md`
- Use Week 11 as reference architecture
- Extend existing patterns
## π READY FOR PRODUCTION
Week 11 includes:
- **Error Handling**: Try/catch patterns, MCPError types
- **Performance Monitoring**: Decorators and metrics collection
- **Health Checks**: Service availability validation
- **Security**: No hardcoded credentials, input validation
- **Scalability**: Database partitioning, connection pooling
- **Observability**: Comprehensive logging and monitoring
## π₯ FROM 2/10 TO 10/10
