Core flow

Inspect -> plan -> submit

arena.config.ts

challenge = {
  source: "github",
  labels: ["good first issue", "help wanted"],
  workflow: [
    "review issue context",
    "trace likely fix path",
    "draft validation steps",
  ],
  future: ["patch submission", "test runner"],
};

MVP principle

Keep the foundation server-rendered, typed, and mock-friendly while the GitHub and database layers mature.

Next milestone

Add structured workflow submissions and validation hooks without introducing a full in-browser IDE.

Starter issues that feel real, not toy examples.

The catalog prefers public issues tagged for newcomers. When a GitHub token is absent, the app falls back to a seeded mock set so the MVP stays usable.

Automated testing

To better support extensive refactoring and large feature additions, we desperately need to invest in proper automated testing. The reason this has been avoided thus far is because this is because it is rather complex to set up in the case of Litterbox. There are two major challenges:

Open Challenge

1. Discover

Browse issues by contributor-friendly labels.

Surface issues tagged with signals like good first issue and help wanted, then wrap them in a consistent arena format.

2. Plan

Turn the issue into a practical fix workflow.

Capture scope, validation steps, risk notes, and likely files so contributors can move with more confidence.

3. Grow

Add scoring and review loops incrementally.

The MVP keeps the scoring, review, and collaboration model simple so deeper features can land without a rewrite.
