# Development Roadmap

Built phase-by-phase; each phase stays fully working before the next starts.

- [x] **Phase 1 - Foundation**: Laravel base, full DB schema (no Countries -
      Language is the primary classification), admin auth + RBAC skeleton,
      dashboard shell, Languages module (reference CRUD pattern)
- [ ] **Phase 2**: Dashboard analytics wiring + responsive sidebar polish
- [ ] **Phase 3**: Categories (same CRUD pattern as Languages)
- [ ] **Phase 4**: Radio Channel Management (the core module) - list, add/edit form,
      logo/cover upload, filtering by language/category/stream type/featured/verified
- [ ] **Phase 5**: Podcasts + Episodes
- [ ] **Phase 6**: Home Sections + Banners + Featured Radios
- [ ] **Phase 7**: Users + Favourites + Suggestions
- [ ] **Phase 8**: Notifications
- [ ] **Phase 9**: Reports + Statistics (this is also where Recent Activity on the
      dashboard gets wired to real activity_logs data)
- [ ] **Phase 10**: REST API v1 (public/authenticated/admin tiers per the spec)
- [ ] **Phase 11**: API Documentation page (API URLs sidebar item)
- [ ] **Phase 12**: Settings (theme colors, general, radio player, social) +
      Verification module
- [ ] **Phase 13**: Security hardening + performance pass (rate limiting, eager
      loading audit, indexes review)
- [ ] **Phase 14**: cPanel deployment package finalization
- [ ] **Phase 15**: Final end-to-end testing

Say "continue to Phase 2" (or jump to whichever module you want first, e.g.
Radio Channel Management) whenever you're ready.
