📊 System Status

✅ What's Complete

• ✅ Widget creation (3 methods: AI, Templates, Components)
• ✅ Variant creation and editing
• ✅ Widget showcase and browsing
• ✅ Backend API integration
• ✅ Route consolidation
• ✅ Widget builder consolidation

⏳ What's Pending

• ⏳ NX library generation (Priority 5 - Critical)
• ⏳ Code editor mode (Optional)
• ⏳ Inline property editor (Optional)

📈 Progress

75% Complete (3 of 4 critical priorities)

🎯 Next Steps

Priority 5: NX Library Generation (Critical)

Goal: Enable widget builder to generate NX libraries for modules

Why Critical: Architectural requirement - modules MUST be NX libraries

Documentation:

• Planning: See FINAL_SYSTEM_STATUS.md - "Next Steps" section
• Architecture: See docs/english/GoGrab-Space/modules/modules-architecture.md

Estimated Effort: 4-6 hours
