## Phase 1: Critical Bugs (Week 1)

### Objectives
Eliminate panics, undefined behavior, and race conditions that could crash the application.

### Achievements

**1. Eliminated unwrap() Panics**
- Replaced 5 `unwrap()` calls with safe alternatives
- Used `if let Some()`, `unwrap_or()`, and `?` operator
- Files: `view.rs`, `scheduler.rs`

**2. Fixed Frame Counter Wrap Bug**
- Changed from `u64` to `u32` with explicit wrap handling
- Prevents cache eviction failures after 584 years
- File: `cache.rs`

**3. Fixed First-Frame Race Condition**
- Ensured scheduler always computes visible tiles on first call
- Prevents blank map on startup
- File: `scheduler.rs`

**4. Documented Unsafe Code**
- Added safety comments for `unsafe set_var()`

### Example: Adding a Custom Pass
```rust
struct CustomPass;
impl RenderPass for CustomPass {
    fn pass_type(&self) -> PassType { PassType::Debug }
    fn z_order(&self) -> i32 { 500 }
    fn is_enabled(&self) -> bool { true }
    fn min_zoom(&self) -> f64 { 0.0 }
    fn max_zoom(&self) -> f64 { 30.0 }
    fn execute(&self, ctx: &mut RenderContext) -> PassStats {
        // Custom rendering logic
        PassStats::default()
    }
}

graph.add_pass(Box::new(CustomPass));
```
