New Defects
| ID | Title | Reported by | Severity | Proposed Priority | Assigned to | Decision |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NOVU-2041 | Open Banking: no timeout message when provider redirect exceeds 30s | Sasha Koval | High | P1 | Ayo Adeyemi | Accepted — blocks UAT happy path |
| NOVU-2042 | Open Banking: state_mismatch error on back-button is not user-friendly | Sasha Koval | Medium | P2 | Marcus Obi | Accepted — severity discussed (see reclassifications) |
| NOVU-2043 | Biometric re-auth: FaceID prompt appears twice on first enrol | Marcus Obi | Medium | P2 | Dev Patel | Accepted |
| NOVU-2044 | Notifications: mark-all-read badge count not clearing on Android | Marcus Obi | Low | P3 | Dev Patel | Deferred to v3.2.1 — cosmetic, no data risk |
| NOVU-2045 | Notifications: push notification tapped while app in background navigates to wrong screen | Sasha Koval | High | P1 | Ayo Adeyemi | Accepted — navigation bug affecting user journey |
In-Progress Defects — Status Check
| ID | Title | Assigned to | Status | Blocked? | ETA |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NOVU-2037 | Open Banking: ClearLedger provider shows duplicate account after re-link | Dev Patel | In Review | No | 2024-03-12 EOD |
| NOVU-2038 | Biometric re-auth: Android Fingerprint sensor not prompted after 3 failed PINs | Dev Patel | In Progress | No | 2024-03-13 |
| NOVU-2039 | Notifications: preference toggle resets to defaults after app update | Marcus Obi | In Progress | Yes — waiting for API schema confirmation from Dev | TBD |
Reclassifications
| ID | Previous Severity | New Severity | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| NOVU-2042 | Medium | High | Clara Whitfield (PO) confirmed that users encountering back-button errors mid-consent flow are very likely to abandon the feature. Given the Open Banking launch is marketing-supported, the business impact warrants High severity. Ayo to reassign to a developer today. |
Closed and Verified
| ID | Title | Fixed in | Verified by | Date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NOVU-2033 | Open Banking: balance sync fails silently after 24-hour session | Build 3.2.0-RC4 | Marcus Obi | 2024-03-11 |
| NOVU-2034 | Biometric re-auth: confirm button disabled on simulator iOS 17.4 | Build 3.2.0-RC4 | Sasha Koval | 2024-03-11 |
| NOVU-2036 | Notifications centre: no visual indicator for unread count > 99 | Build 3.2.0-RC4 | Sasha Koval | 2024-03-11 |
Decisions Log
- NOVU-2044 deferred: Notifications badge on Android (mark-all-read) is cosmetic and does not affect data or functionality. PO accepted deferral to v3.2.1 (April patch). QA to add a regression test before 3.2.1 ships.
- NOVU-2039 blocked: The API schema for notification preferences is unclear — whether a null value means "use default" or "no preference set" is inconsistent in the spec. Ayo Adeyemi to confirm with the backend team by 2024-03-13 09:00.
- Go/no-go pre-check: Agreed that NOVU-2041 and NOVU-2042 must be fixed and verified in QA before the 2024-03-14 go/no-go meeting. NOVU-2045 must also be verified if fixed in time.
