## Risk Assessment

### Potential Risks and Mitigations
1. **TypeScript migration complexity**
   - Risk: Unexpected issues during conversion
   - Mitigation: Start with utility functions, extensive testing

2. **Meeting functionality integration**
   - Risk: SMART_MODEL environment may not work as expected
   - Mitigation: Create fallback mechanisms, thorough testing

3. **Update command conflicts**
   - Risk: User customizations may be lost
   - Mitigation: Robust backup system, conflict resolution UI

4. **Multi-project support compatibility**
   - Risk: Different project conventions may conflict
   - Mitigation: Isolated templates, thorough testing with various project types

## Next Steps After v0.4.0
