Refactor track lifecycle for better code organization (post-MVP) #11
Description
Overview
Improve track management code organization by separating lifecycle components.
Priority Revision
DOWNGRADED from MVP Critical → Post-MVP Enhancement
Reason: The current Stone Soup integration already provides working track lifecycle management. This is code organization, not functionality.
Current State
- Stone Soup MultiTargetTracker handles track lifecycle effectively
- All functionality is working in
StoneSoupTracker.py - Recent code review already improved organization
Target State (Post-MVP)
- Better code organization with separated components
- Improved testability of individual lifecycle components
- Enhanced maintainability
Dependencies
- BLOCKED by Implement RadarOnlyAssociator for pure radar tracking #20 - Need radar-only operation working first
- Should be completed after core MVP functionality is proven
Benefits
- Better code organization and maintainability
- Easier testing of individual components
- Foundation for future enhancements
MVP Reality Check
The system already has working track lifecycle management via Stone Soup. The MVP priority is getting radar-only operation working, not reorganizing code that already works.
Note: This is a code quality improvement, not a functionality gap. MVP should focus on capability gaps first.
