# Future — ideas & improvements backlog

Non-blocking ideas: things that work today but could be better, plus feature ideas. Actual bugs
(broken/incorrect behavior) live in `ClaudeReport.md`, not here.

## QA

Improvement & feature ideas surfaced while QA-testing as a consumer (each works today — none are defects).

- **Inclusive sex/gender options in onboarding.** Profile step 2 ("What's your sex?") offers only **Female / Male**,
  and it drives Desire Sync question tailoring. For a couples app, consider adding a non-binary / "prefer to
  self-describe" / "prefer not to say" option (with a sensible tailoring fallback). *Prompted by:* Pass G sign-up flow.
- **Home "waiting to play" copy doesn't say whose turn it is.** Both partners' Home shows "**Your** partner is waiting
  to play" for the *same* session, so each thinks the other is mid-game. Consider turn-aware copy ("Your turn —
  finish your part" vs "Waiting on {partner}"). *Prompted by:* B-002 (resume is fixed; this is the copy nuance).
- **Exempt high-value/user-initiated pushes from the promotional rate limit.** Game-completion ("results ready") and
  similar pushes share the same 20/day, 100/week cap as reminders/re-engagement. During normal heavy use a legitimate
  results-ready push was suppressed. Consider a separate (higher/uncapped) budget for partner-action/results pushes vs
  promotional reminders. *Prompted by:* Round 5 E-003 results-ready verification.
- **Suppress the redundant "tap to see results" push when the recipient is already on the results screen.** When both
  partners finish a game at nearly the same time, both are already viewing results yet both still receive the
  results-ready push. Mirror the existing chat-message guard (`activeThreadMonitor`) for the active game/results screen.
  *Prompted by:* Round 5 results-ready test.
- **Friendlier paywall empty/error state.** A-OBS fixed the raw SDK error leak; as a follow-up, when plans genuinely
  can't load, consider a retry-with-backoff + an offline-aware message, and hide the disabled "Continue" until plans
  load. *Prompted by:* A-OBS (env had no RevenueCat sandbox, but the state is worth polishing for real failures).
- **Wire existing iOS illustrations into Android (brand uplift, low effort).** `docs/brand/asset-system.md` notes the
  couple illustrations exist on iOS but several Android screens don't show them yet (answer history, invite, daily-
  question, together-empty, partner-activation empty states). Mirroring the PNGs into `drawable-nodpi/` and using them
  would noticeably warm up empty states with no new art needed. *Prompted by:* Pass H branding review.
- **Consistent brand glyphs across game cards + waiting/notification surfaces.** Game cards (Play hub), the
  WaitingForPartner screen, and notifications mix Material icons with brand art. A small custom glyph set
  (heart-of-two-halves, paired/sealed card, daily card, capsule, date-card, quiet-hours moon) used consistently would
  strengthen identity. See `ClaudeBrandingReview.md` "G-set". *Prompted by:* Pass H branding review.
- **Rotating privacy messages on more entry surfaces.** The approved privacy-message rotation is a strong, on-brand
  reassurance; consider surfacing it on the sign-up/login/forgot-password screens (currently plain forms). *Prompted by:* Pass H.
