+# Mizan — Known Issues
+
+Identified by domain expert review (Cloudflare, Serverless, Vercel, React Query, Django, Laravel, Vue/Svelte).
+
+## Critical
+
+### C1. Scoped cache purge doesn't pass user_id/rev
+**File:** `mizan-django/src/mizan/client/executor.py` — cache_purge call in function_call_view
+The scoped purge recomputes the HMAC with `user_id=None, rev=0`, but the entry was stored with the actual user_id and rev. The key never matches. Stale data persists until TTL expires.
+
+### C2. initSession swallows errors permanently
+**File:** `mizan-runtime/src/index.ts` — initSession()
+If the session init fetch fails, the promise resolves (catch swallows). Every subsequent call returns the resolved promise. CSRF is broken for the page lifetime with no recovery.
+
+### C3. SSR hydration data never written
+**File:** `mizan-django/src/mizan/ssr/backend.py` — MizanTemplate.render()
+Generated code checks `window.__MIZAN_SSR_DATA__` but nothing injects it. The `<script>` tag with serialized data is missing from the SSR output. Client re-fetches everything, defeating SSR.
+
+### C4. SSR bridge stdin.write not thread-safe
+**File:** `mizan-django/src/mizan/ssr/bridge.py` — render()
+The lock protects `_counter` but not the `stdin.write()`. Concurrent Django threads interleave writes, producing garbled JSON. Bun worker returns parse errors.
+
+### C5. SSR bridge orphans Bun processes
+**File:** `mizan-django/src/mizan/ssr/bridge.py` — no cleanup
+No atexit handler, no signal handler. Django auto-reloader, gunicorn recycling, and SIGTERM all leak Bun processes.
+
+### C6. No loading/error/stale states in runtime
+**File:** `mizan-runtime/src/index.ts` — context registry
+The kernel stores only `{params, refetch}`. No `data`, `status`, `error`. Every adapter independently reinvents loading tracking. No stale-while-revalidate possible.
+
+### C7. View-path mutations don't purge origin cache
+**File:** `mizan-django/src/mizan/client/executor.py` — view-path return branch
+Sets `X-Mizan-Invalidate` header but never calls `cache_purge`. Without Edge deployed, stale data persists.
+
+## High
+
+### H1. pendingScoped Map overwrites
+**File:** `mizan-runtime/src/index.ts` — invalidate()
+Two scoped invalidations for the same context in one microtask — second `set()` overwrites first. Only one param set gets refetched.
+
+### H2. JSON.stringify params key is order-dependent
+**File:** `mizan-runtime/src/index.ts` — registerContext + invalidation
+`{a:1, b:2}` !== `{b:2, a:1}` as JSON strings. Scoped invalidation misses targets depending on property order.
+
+### H3. No retry logic
+**File:** `mizan-runtime/src/index.ts` — mizanFetch, mizanCall
+Single network failure is permanent. No exponential backoff, no retry count.
+
+### H4. Named contexts refetch unconditionally, ignore SSR data
+**File:** `mizan-django/generate/generator/lib/adapters/react.mjs` — useEffect
+Global context checks `if (!data) refetch()`. Named contexts always refetch, discarding hydrated state.
+
+### H5. Mutation hooks expose no loading/error state
+**File:** `mizan-django/generate/generator/lib/adapters/react.mjs` — mutation template
+Returns bare `useCallback`. No `isPending`, `error`, `isSuccess`. Every handler needs manual try/catch/finally.
+
+### H6. refreshContext uses call() (mutation endpoint)
+**File:** `mizan-react/src/context.tsx` — refreshContext callback
+Calls `POST /call/` for context refresh. Should use `GET /ctx/<name>/`.
+
+### H7. Redis SCAN blocks request path at scale
+**File:** `mizan-django/src/mizan/cache/backend.py` — delete_by_prefix
+Synchronous SCAN loop with 1K batch. At 1M keys: multi-second blocking on the mutation response.
+
+### H8. Svelte codegen uses Svelte 4 stores
+**File:** `mizan-django/generate/generator/lib/adapters/svelte.mjs`
+Uses `writable`/`derived` from `svelte/store`. Svelte 5 (stable since 2024) uses `$state`/`$derived` runes.
+
+### H9. Svelte destroy() not auto-called
+**File:** `mizan-django/generate/generator/lib/adapters/svelte.mjs`
+`registerContext` is called at store creation. `destroy()` is returned but never called automatically. Memory leak if user forgets `onDestroy`.
+
+### H10. _meta ClassVar shared dict fragility
+**File:** `mizan-django/src/mizan/client/function.py` — _create_server_function
+When `meta` is empty, `FunctionWrapper._meta` is the same object as `ServerFunction._meta`. One in-place mutation pollutes all functions.
+
+### H11. Cross-language str() vs String() divergence
+**File:** `mizan-django/src/mizan/cache/keys.py` — derive_cache_key
+Python `str(True)` = `"True"`, JS `String(true)` = `"true"`. Cache keys diverge for boolean/None params.
+
+### H12. Forms triggerValidation captures stale data
+**File:** `mizan-react/src/forms.ts` — triggerValidation useCallback
+Debounced touch() fires validation against the `data` value from when `useCallback` was created, not current data.
+
+### H13. Forms isValid true with untouched required fields
+**File:** `mizan-react/src/forms.ts` — isValid useMemo
+Only checks touched fields. 5 required fields, 2 touched, 0 errors → `isValid = true`.
+
+## Medium
+
+### M1. SSR bridge not fork-safe
+gunicorn prefork shares stdin/stdout file descriptors and Redis connections.
+
+### M2. cache_purge_user() spec'd but not implemented
+No way to purge all cache entries for one user on permission change.
+
+### M3. No garbage collection for context entries
+Runtime `contexts` Map grows monotonically. No TTL, no eviction.
+
+### M4. No cross-tab invalidation
+No BroadcastChannel, no storage events. Logout in tab 1 doesn't affect tab 2.
+
+### M5. React 18 Strict Mode double-fetch
+useEffect runs twice in dev mode. Every context provider fires two requests on mount.
+
+### M6. No request deduplication
+Two components mounting the same context fire parallel identical fetches.
+
+### M7. SSR worker module cache never invalidates
+Dynamic imports cached in Map forever. No reload mechanism.
+
+### M8. Vue injection key not exported
+Consumers can't inject directly without using generated composables.
+
+### M9. Vue onMounted won't pre-fetch in Vue SSR
+Needs `onServerPrefetch` for Nuxt/Vue SSR. Only works with Mizan's bridge.
+
+### M10. Svelte should use setContext/getContext
+Module-level stores don't scope to component tree. Two instances share state.
+
+### M11. execute_function return type annotation wrong
+Says `FunctionResult | FunctionError`, actually returns `HttpResponseBase` for view-path.
+
+### M12. render_strategy heuristic uses hardcoded param names
+`user_id`, `owner_id` etc. — misses `member_id`, `customer_id`, non-English names.
+
+### M13. initSession called for token-auth requests
+Wastes a GET /session/ round-trip for JWT/MWT apps that don't need CSRF.
+
+### M14. Vue watch imported but unused
+Params not watched — if reactive params change, context doesn't refetch.
+
+### M15. Vue mutation composables are just re-exports with misleading `use` prefix
+`export const useXxx = callXxx` — not a real composable, breaks Vue naming convention.
+
+### M16. Svelte mutation imports bypass Stage 1 index
+Imports from `'../mutations/xxx'` directly instead of `'../index'`.
+
+### M17. Side effects in React state updater
+Context listeners called inside `setContextStore()` updater — fires multiple times in concurrent mode.
+
+### M18. registerContext cleanup crashes if Map deleted
+`contexts.get(name)!.delete(key)` — non-null assertion throws if Map was cleared.
