**Subject: Technical Analysis: Flyout Menu Deprecation and Bottom Navigation Bar Implementation Strategy**

Following a comprehensive analysis of the codebase regarding the proposed removal of the flyout menu, I have identified a critical dependency that necessitates a revision of our execution strategy. Specifically, I have concluded that the deprecation of the flyout menu cannot be safely executed prior to the full completion and deployment of the bottom navigation bar.

Prematurely removing the flyout menu would result in a total regression of the application's navigational capabilities. The flyout menu currently serves as the central navigation hub for a multitude of screens and user flows; its removal without a fully functional replacement would effectively sever the user's ability to traverse the application architecture.

Given the architectural complexity involving these various routes and navigation flows, I strongly recommend decomposing the bottom bar implementation into granular subtasks to ensure stability and traceability. I propose the following phased approach:

1.  **UI Scaffolding:** Initial implementation of the bottom bar UI component in isolation, strictly focusing on layout and styling without active routing.
2.  **Routing Integration:** Sequential connection of navigation actions, tackling the buttons individually to ensure each route functions correctly before proceeding to the next.
3.  **"More" Menu Complexity:** The "More" menu specifically requires a distinct breakdown of tasks. This component handles complex data retrieval, involving multiple asynchronous network requests and cache management operations (e.g., the dynamic retrieval and rendering of star ratings). This should be treated as a separate epic or a collection of sub-tasks to address the data layer requirements adequately.

**Minor Observation:**
During the analysis, I noted that the "More" menu currently lacks developer/debug-specific options. It is unclear if this requires formal visual design specifications or if it should remain an engineering-only feature. I am flagging this for visibility to determine if design input is required.

**Documentation Status:**
I am currently drafting the technical specification documents on Confluence. These drafts are currently pending finalization, awaiting a scheduled knowledge transfer session with the original architects of the flyout menu code to ensure all legacy navigation logic is fully documented.
