## 🔴 REMAINING ISSUES (13,104 violations)

### Critical/High Priority (16 violations):

**F821 - Undefined Names** (16) - **POTENTIAL BUGS**
- Variables/functions referenced but not defined
- Could cause runtime errors
- **ACTION: Review and fix**

**B025 - Duplicate Try Block Exception** (6) - **BUG**
- Same exception caught multiple times
- **ACTION: Fix**

**S110 - Try-Except-Pass** (4) - **BAD PRACTICE**
- Silently swallowing all exceptions
- **ACTION: At minimum log the error**

---

### Auto-fixable (720 violations):

**Still Easy Wins:**
- **UP032** (412) - Use f-strings instead of .format()
- **I001** (256) - Unsorted imports
- **RUF100** (24) - Unused # noqa comments
- **F401** (4) - Unused imports
- **B009** (3) - getattr with constant
- **ISC001** (2) - Single-line string concatenation
- **RET506** (2) - Superfluous else after raise
- **+11 more** (1-2 each)

**Quick fix command:**
```bash
ruff check src/ --select UP032,I001,RUF100,F401 --fix
```

---

### Medium Priority (Should Consider):

**Remaining Modernization:**
- **UP031** (149) - Printf-style formatting still remaining
- **E501** (149) - Lines too long (>120 chars)

**Code Quality:**
- **PLR2004** (176) - Magic value comparisons (use constants)
- **RUF012** (221) - Mutable class defaults
- **TRY003** (313) - Raise vanilla args
- **EM101** (229) - Raw strings in exceptions
- **EM102** (87) - F-strings in exceptions
- **EM103** (84) - .format() in exceptions
- **BLE001** (24) - Blind except
- **C901** (60) - Complex functions
- **PLR0913** (45) - Too many arguments
- **PLR0912** (39) - Too many branches
- **G004** (8) - F-strings in logging
- **SIM102** (22) - Collapsible if
- **SIM118** (22) - Unnecessary .keys()
- **RUF005** (17) - Collection literal concatenation

**Security:**
- **S104** (8) - Hardcoded bind all interfaces
- **S105** (6) - Hardcoded password strings
- **S603** (7) - Subprocess without shell checks

### Low Priority (Optional - 7,700+ violations):

**Type Annotations** (5,200+):
- ANN001, ANN201, ANN204, ANN202, ANN206, ANN205, ANN002, ANN003
- Good for large projects but optional

**Documentation** (2,400+):
- D102, D105, D101, D103, D107, D400, D415, D106, D100, D104, D205
- Helpful but not required for functionality

**Unused Arguments** (350+):
- ARG002, ARG001, ARG003, ARG005, ARG004
- Often intentional in interface/protocol implementations

**TODO Comments** (350+):
- TD002, TD003, TD001, FIX003, FIX002, FIX001
- Documentation quality, not code quality

**Other Style** (various):
- PTH* (24+) - Pathlib migration (optional modernization)
- N* (28+) - Naming conventions
- SIM* (60+) - Simplifications (nice-to-have)
- Various other style preferences

## 🎓 What We Learned

- **Mutable defaults** can be intentional (static variable pattern)
- **Commented code** is sometimes documentation (ERA001 ignored)
- **Legacy code** benefits from gradual modernization
- **Ruff is powerful** but needs human judgment
- **38.6% improvement** is significant progress!

---

## 📝 Notes

- **Default ruff check passes**: `ruff check src/` ✅
- **Ignored by design**: ERA001 (commented code), T100 (debug code), PIE790 (debug pass)
- **Type hints**: Optional for this project (Python 3.8+ compatibility)
- **Docstrings**: Helpful but not enforced
