# Engineering Backlog This backlog collects cross-cutting or future action items that emerge from reviews and planning. Routing guidance: - Use this file for non-urgent optimizations, refactors, or follow-ups that span multiple stories/epics. - Must-fix items to ship a story belong in that story’s `Tasks / Subtasks`. - Same-epic improvements may also be captured under the epic Tech Spec `Post-Review Follow-ups` section. | Date | Story | Epic | Type | Severity | Owner | Status | Notes | | ---- | ----- | ---- | ---- | -------- | ----- | ------ | ----- |
