-=== Known gaps and next steps
+=== Immediate improvements
-* No brute-force rate-limiting on login/signup yet.
+v0.1 is a proof-of-concept / prototype. It's the basis for the whole system; the structural bones of it all. So there is naturally a lot of room for improvement.
+* No rate-limiting on login/signup or on game commands.
+* No filters on chat.
 * The WebSocket ticket is reusable within a short TTL (convenient for reconnects; could be hardened to strictly one-time).
 * Half-open sockets aren't actively reaped yet (a heartbeat/ping would do it).
-* The world is a 4-room placeholder; the object model (objects, properties, verbs, containment) is the real next chapter.
-* Legacy files noted above are candidates to remove or adapt.
+Lots of other little things are sure to come out under analysis. But as milestones go, v0.1 is a big one.
