# TODO List for esm-logging

This is a poor-man's issue tracker. I am not primarily a GitHub user so don't
want to commit to their issue tracking feature, but my primary SVC service
provider (Bitbucket) only offers paid integration into their issue tracker
(Jira). I don't have the time (and patience) at the moment to analyze the best
approach, so this file will have to suffice.

It's a very simple concept: Track any issues (features, bugfixes, hotfixes) in
here, assign a sequential number to it and use that number when branching.

I will try to develop a format so that I can parse the file later on, should I
decide to migrate to a real issue tracker. It's probably going to be Bugzilla,
but for that my html-theme-ref project needs to stabilize first.

## Format Specification

The file uses Markdown conventions for formatting headers and other text block
entitities, but SHOULD NOT be considered a Markdown file. That's why it has no
definitive file extension.

Each issue entry follows a structured format for easier parsing and future
migration.  Issues MUST be **appended** to this file and never moved, to
preserve Git diffing.

### Issue Format

```

ID: [ISSUE-NUMBER]
Type: [feature/bugfix/hotfix]
Title: [Short title]
Status: [open/in-progress/done/hold/cancelled]
Priority: [low/medium/high]
Created: [YYYY-MM-DD]
Description: [Detailed explanation]

---
```

- ISSUE-NUMBERs must be sequential
- truncation of description must be indentended so that every line starts at the
  same column
- issues must be started with two LF
- issues must be terminated with two LF, then `---`
- issues may have a free-text field (epilog), which must be started with two LF.

## Issues

ID: 1
Type: feature
Title: implement KMP algorithm for string searching
Status: hold
Priority: high
Created: 2025-05-03
Description: Implement the Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm for string searching.
             I require this for matching RFC 9112 boundaries of entities against
             a circular buffer.

Type: feature
Title: implement Rabin-Karp rolling hash algorithm
Status: done
Priority: high
Created: 2025-05-05
Description: After testing a couple of string search algorithms, I've ditched
             the idea of using KMP as my use-case gives no advantage compared to
             naive searching. In addition I've came upon the challenge that many
             string search algorithms are optimized for search on a linear
             buffer, which in my case is not applicable as the implementation
             the search algorithm is for uses a circular buffer. Rabin-Karp
             seemed promising. I've come up with a different approach though,
             which is still based on rolling hashes, therefore, as a base, I
             need an implementation of the original Rabin-Karp rolling hash
             algorithm
