🔴Critical Issues (required)
Issue #1: Feature 13 Spatial recognition/generation system completed
Impact: ✅ Resolved Implementation completion date: February 17, 2026
Details: - All four dedicated nodes (Rank 12‑15) were implemented and met performance goals. - The "Not Implemented" section in the document needs updating.
Notes: The implementation roadmap is complete, so please close this issue and move on to the next phase of functionality.
Issue #2: Reliability of PFC-Zenoh communication
Impact: 🔴 High
Status: Partial implementation
Recommended fix: Add apply_modulation_with_reliability()
detail:```python 現在: publish() → 送信のみ 目標: publish() → 送信 + ACK待機 + 自動リトライ
**Fixed code:** [ISSUE_FIX_IMPLEMENTATIONS.md](MULTI_NODE_INTEGRATION_TESTS.md#issue-1)
---
### Issue #3: Lack of multi-node integration testing
**Impact:** 🔴 High
**Recommended effort:** 4 weeks
**Shortage scenario:**
- [ ] PFC ↔ Vision communication
- [ ] Vision ↔ Language Throughput
- [ ] Automatic failover when node goes down
- [ ] Recovery in case of message loss
- [ ] System stability under 100+ nodes
**Template:** [MULTI_NODE_INTEGRATION_TESTS.md](MULTI_NODE_INTEGRATION_TESTS.md)
---
## 🟡 Major Issues (content improvement)
### Issue #4: Error handling visualization
**Current status:** try-except is fragmented, making it difficult to trace the problem
**Improvement proposal:** Introducing structured logging
```python
# Before introduction
try:
comm.publish(...)
except:
pass # I can't see the error
# After introduction
with self._track_request("publish", topic=topic) as request_id:
comm.publish(...) # Even in case of failure, it can be tracked by request_id
Issue #5: NTP synchronization ↔ Raft failover consistency
Current status: The relationship between clock drift and election timeout is unclear Recommended: Add NTP monitoring mechanism (clocksync_tolerance parameter)
🟠 Minor Issues (Performance/Scalability)
Issue #6: Memory leak concern
Location: ZenohCommunicator.compressor buffer Countermeasure: Memory monitoring added
Issue #7: Node excavation scalability
Concern: O(n²) memory at 100+ nodes Countermeasures: Node grouping, caching

lastly
This report prepares EvoSpikeNet's distributed brain simulation to move into full-scale operation.
The core system is fully implemented, but the addition of Feature 13 (Spatial Awareness) and enhancing test coverage in multi-node environments are the next milestones.
By proceeding systematically and in stages, it is fully possible to start operating in a production environment by Q4 2026.
