# Known Issues

## 1. Hardcoded Environment Paths

Several runtime paths are absolute and machine-specific:

- animation output file path in `AnimationFileService`
- Unreal process script paths in `application.properties`
- PID file cleanup paths in `ProcessManagerService`

Impact:

- project is not portable across machines without local path edits

## 2. Database Deleted on Shutdown

`App.deleteDatabase()` deletes `data/health.db` on app exit.

Impact:

- historical data is lost every run unless behavior is changed

## 3. Signalling Process Startup Incomplete

In `ProcessManagerService.startSignallingServer()`, process creation is currently prepared but not started (`pb.start()` is commented).

Impact:

- log output may indicate startup intent, but process is not actually launched via that path

## 4. Encoding Artifacts in Logs/Strings

Some source/log text contains mojibake characters in comments/messages.

Impact:

- readability and consistency issues in logs and source text
