Review Summary — Replace placeholder with actual dashboard screenshot

• Read the PR diff
• Verify the screenshot file exists & is referenced correctly
• Check README context (D1 — README sync)
• Evaluate CHANGELOG impact (D2)
• Post inline comments
• Post verdict

---

A one-line README change replacing the (screenshot coming…) placeholder with the actual dashboard screenshot uploaded to GitHub user-attachments. Good follow-through on the v2.5.0 "Dashboard SDD" release — making the flagship feature visible on the README is real product work, not cosmetic.

Findings

MINOR — stale TODO(daniel) on lines 160–161 (inline)
That TODO existed because the screenshot was missing. You're adding the screenshot in the very next line — the TODO has served its purpose and now misleads any reader of the source. Drop it in this same PR.

MINOR — alt="image" is non-descriptive (inline)
This is the default GitHub assigns when you paste a screenshot — it gives screen readers and fallback renderers nothing useful. The README image is a first-impression surface for OwnYourCode; the alt text should describe what the dashboard shows.

NIT — intrinsic image dimensions (4110×2332) (same inline thread)
The retina-capture raw pixels render fine because GitHub clamps to container width, but the numbers look odd in source. Optional: drop the attributes or set a sensible display width.

Non-findings worth naming

• D1 (README sync): N/A — no command/behavior change, just a README content swap. ✅
• D2 (CHANGELOG): strictly speaking D2 asks for an entry on every PR, but a placeholder→real-image swap with no user-facing behavior change is the edge of what that rule was written for. I'm not blocking on it. If you want to be tidy, a one-liner under [Unreleased] → ### Changed (docs: add dashboard screenshot to README) closes the loop.
• Philosophy checks (P1–P4): no impact. This change strengthens P4 (universal audience) slightly by showing all profiles what the dashboard actually looks like before they install.
• Security (X1/X2): N/A — no scripts touched, image hosted on GitHub's own CDN.

Verdict reasoning

None of the findings block ship. They're teachable, the change accomplishes its purpose, and a follow-up cleanup PR is a perfectly reasonable path. The TODO removal is the only one I'd actively prefer you handle in this PR — it's a 2-line delete and prevents the "ship the change, leave the TODO" pattern from setting in.

Re-review after synchronize — Replace placeholder with actual dashboard screenshot

• Pull the new commits since the last review
• Diff old README vs new README
• Confirm both prior MINOR findings (stale TODO + non-descriptive alt) are resolved
• Re-evaluate D1/D2 and philosophy checks
• Post verdict

---

Daniel cleanly addressed both MINOR findings from the prior review in a single follow-up commit (61ecdc8). Worth naming what's good here, because it's the pattern I want to see repeat:

• Stale TODO(daniel) deleted. The conceptual point landed — a TODO whose reason no longer exists is misleading, not informative. Removing it in the same PR (vs. punting to a follow-up) is the right call.
• Alt text now describes what the screenshot actually shows. alt="OwnYourCode dashboard — a project's mission, stack, and roadmap, with per-phase Spec / Design / Tasks tabs in one view" is doing real accessibility work: a screen-reader user, or a reader on a slow connection where the image never loads, walks away with an actual mental model of the dashboard. This is the bar. Not just "fix the lint warning" — understand why alt text exists and write to that purpose. That's Gate 1 applied to docs.

Remaining items

• NIT — width="4110" height="2332" intrinsic retina dimensions still in the <img> tag. I flagged this as optional last round and it remains optional. Not blocking. If you ever pass through this file again, dropping the attributes (or setting width="900") tidies the source — but it renders fine as-is.
• D2 (CHANGELOG): Still no [Unreleased] entry. Same call as last review — a docs-image swap is the edge of what D2 was written for, not blocking. Mentioning it again only so the absence is acknowledged, not overlooked.

Non-findings

• D1 (README sync): N/A — this is the README.
• Philosophy (P1–P4): No impact. Slight P4 strengthening (universal audience now sees the dashboard before they install).
• Security (X1/X2): N/A — image on GitHub's own CDN.

Verdict reasoning

The PR now does exactly what it set out to do, the teachable findings from round one are handled at the right depth (not just patched — understood), and the remaining items are an optional nit and a borderline D2 call. Ship it.
