What Works

All modules fully implemented and tested:

Module	Status	Notes
Channel code parser	Complete	Auto-detects 14-char (no dummy) vs 16-char (with dummy H3/P3/PC).
Channel model	Complete	Immutable channels, auto-grouping X/Y/Z, resultant computation.
MME reader	Complete	Real ISO 13499 (.mme + .chn index + .NNN data files) + simplified INI. Tested against 5 real datasets.
CFC filtering	Complete	SAE J211 compliant. 4th-order Butterworth, zero-phase. All 4 CFC classes.
Alignment transforms	Complete	X-align (manual/threshold/trigger), Y-align (baseline window).
Resultant	Complete	From ChannelGroup or arbitrary channels.
Math expressions	Complete	Safe eval with numpy functions.
HIC	Complete	HIC15/HIC36, cumulative integration, optimal window search.
3ms clip	Complete	Cumulative exceedance method.
Nij	Complete	4 modes (NTE/NTF/NCE/NCF), per-dummy intercepts.
Chest deflection	Complete	Peak sternal displacement with unit/sanity validation.
Viscous criterion	Complete	V(t)*C(t) with chest depth per dummy type.
Femur load	Complete	Left/right, unit conversion.
Tibia index	Complete	M/Mc + F/Fc with intercepts.
Euro NCAP	Complete	Sliding-scale color/points, percentage to stars. Versioned thresholds.
US NCAP	Complete	Logistic injury risk functions, combined probability, star rating.
IIHS	Complete	G/A/M/P per body region, worst-case overall.
Plot engine	Complete	Plotly rendering, corridors, cursor values, export.
Template model	Complete	YAML serialize/deserialize, library manager, session persistence.
Report engine	Complete	HTML+WeasyPrint PDF, 3 Jinja2 templates.
Plugin registry	Complete	Entry point + directory + API discovery.
CLI	Complete	`impakt serve/info/channels/evaluate`.
Web UI	Functional	See details below.

Web UI -- Current State

Fully functional for daily crash test analysis:

Data Tab:

Left panel (resizable via draggable splitter): channel grid + transform controls
Channel grid: flat sortable DataTable (#, ISO Code, Description, Unit, Min, Max), wildcard filter bar, facet dropdowns (body region, measurement, direction), multi-select with selection persisted across filtering, selected rows colored with plot trace colors (tinted background + left border)
Transform controls: global CFC filter, Y-align, X-align (manual/threshold), resultant toggle, per-channel CFC overrides
Plot area (fills remaining width): no legend (info in tables), tight margins, compact axis labels, X1/X2 vertical reference lines
Channel Values table (directly below plot, minimal gap): combined statistics + cursor in one table. Columns: #, ISO Code, Description, Unit, Min, @Time, Max, @Time, X1, X2, Cursor. table-layout: fixed with percentage widths — Description fills remaining space. Rows colored with same plot trace colors. Cursor column updates live on mouse hover via custom JS tracker.

Analysis Tab:

Injury Criteria: auto-detect channels by ISO naming, compute HIC15/3ms clip/Nij/chest defl/femur/tibia, protocol scoring (Euro NCAP/US NCAP/IIHS) with color-coded results and star ratings
Math Expression Builder: formula input, 3 variable bindings (a/b/c mapped to channel dropdowns), result injected into test data and auto-plotted
Template Management: library browser, apply (resolves channel patterns + sets CFC), save current view as template, delete, session auto-save
Corridors: CSV upload (time/lower/upper), rendered as filled band on plot
Export: CSV of plotted data (with transforms), PNG/SVG/PDF buttons, protocol report generation

Consistent Color System: Every selected channel has a stable color index (position in selection order). The same color appears in:

Plot traces
Channel grid rows (tinted background + solid left border)
Selected badges (colored dot)
Channel Values table rows (tinted background + solid left border)

Key design decisions:

Immutable channels -- transforms return new Channel objects; raw data never modified.
.impakt/ subfolder -- session state stored alongside test data.
Template/session split -- templates are global recipes; sessions are per-test instances.
AppState is server-side -- numpy arrays stay in Python memory; Dash stores hold only lightweight keys.
Channel keys use test_id::channel_name -- enables multi-test overlay.
Custom JS cursor tracking -- bypasses Plotly's hover system with raw mousemove + pixel-to-data conversion.
table-layout: fixed on Channel Values -- percentage widths respected, Description column fills remaining space.
Browser cache prevention -- meta tags with Cache-Control: no-cache to prevent stale layout issues during development.
Separate single-output callbacks for DataTable properties -- avoids Dash KeyError when DataTable internally requests individual properties.

Next Steps (Priority 3)

Annotations -- text on plots, measurement lines, highlight regions
Comparison mode -- side-by-side tests, delta plots, synced cursors
Report builder -- drag-and-drop report composer, PDF preview
Keyboard shortcuts -- Ctrl+O, Ctrl+S, 1-9 pane switch, F fullscreen, R reset zoom
Consider Python/WASM frontend -- NiceGUI or Solara for pure-Python UI (no JS)

Test Data Available

Dataset	Lab	Type	Channels	Good for testing
`fixtures/sample_mme/`	Synthetic	Frontal barrier	26	Unit tests, known values
`mme_data/3239/`	NHTSA/Calspan	Frontal barrier (VW Passat)	133	Full pipeline, real data
`mme_data/AK3T02FO/`	BASt	Frontal 40% offset	97	Multi-occupant
`mme_data/AK3T02SI/`	BASt	Side impact	97	Side impact protocols
`mme_data/VW1FGS15/`	Volkswagen	Pedestrian headform	10	Impactor codes (D0)
`mme_data/98_7707/`	UTAC	Vehicle-to-vehicle	0	Metadata-only

Dependencies

Core: numpy, scipy, plotly, dash, dash-bootstrap-components, pandas, pyyaml, jinja2, weasyprint, pydantic Dev: pytest, pytest-cov, ruff, mypy Optional: nptdms (for future TDMS reader plugin)

Known Issues / Technical Debt

VehicleInfo.year parsed as 0 for real MME data (.mme format embeds year in vehicle name string).
Speed displayed as raw float (55.900001530350906 km/h) -- should round.
DataTable deprecation warning -- Dash recommends migrating to dash-ag-grid.
Cursor poll interval (80ms) -- slight latency in cursor grid updates.
Chest deflection auto-detect skips DS channels with peak > 150mm to avoid steering column displacement.
Dead files -- cursors.py and inspector.py were replaced by channel_values.py and deleted; inspector_callbacks.py deleted. If old .pyc files cause issues, run find src -name __pycache__ -type d | xargs rm -rf.
