 ## Up next
 
-- [ ] No queued backlog yet.
+- [ ] **Parallelize backend pytest with pytest-xdist.** Currently the backend suite takes ~22 min wall-clock for `1076 passed, 35 deselected` (verified locally 2026-04-25). With `-n auto` on the homelab Gitea Actions runner, this should land in the 3–6 min range depending on core count. Blocker: `test_db` fixture in `backend/tests/conftest.py` does `DROP SCHEMA public CASCADE` per test, which two workers would race on. Standard fix: one database per worker, derived from `PYTEST_XDIST_WORKER` env var inside conftest. The runner has spare CPU, so prioritize once main is green and the 54-failure cleanup has landed.
 
 ## Backlog
 
-- [ ] No queued backlog yet.
+- [ ] **Frontend lint warnings cleanup.** 23 `react-hooks/exhaustive-deps` warnings remain after PR #149 (mostly missing-deps in useEffect). Either fix them or audit them for known-safe ones and add eslint-disable comments. Not blocking CI today.
+- [ ] **Audit `filterwarnings` ignores added in `wip(handoff): restore backend suite to green`.** Codex added narrow `ResourceWarning` filters for unclosed socket/transport/event-loop noise from pytest-asyncio teardown. Worth periodically reviewing whether those are still needed (e.g. when bumping pytest-asyncio) — if a real warning appears in those forms it would be silenced.
