Purpose: Comprehensive assessment package for ChatGPT to provide improvement directives

🎯 Project Overview

Project Name: TimeSafari Daily Notification Plugin
Type: Capacitor Plugin for Cross-Platform Mobile Development
Primary Platform: Android (Kotlin/Java)
Secondary Platform: iOS (Swift)
Web Support: Yes (with mock implementation)
Current Status: Production Ready with Comprehensive Testing

📋 Core Functionality

Primary Features

Daily Notification Scheduling: Schedule recurring notifications at specific times
Background Execution: Notifications fire when app is closed or device is rebooted
Offline-First Design: Always cache content with fallback mechanisms
Cross-Platform: Android, iOS, and Web support
Permission Management: Handle notification and exact alarm permissions
Boot Recovery: Restore notifications after device reboots
App Startup Recovery: Fallback mechanism for reliability

Technical Architecture

Android: AlarmManager with exact alarms, BootReceiver, WorkManager
iOS: UNUserNotificationCenter, BGTaskScheduler
Storage: Room database (Android), Core Data (iOS)
Fallback System: Emergency content when network fails
Recovery Mechanisms: Boot receiver + app startup recovery
