## 1. Executive Summary

The **Data Visualization Integration Specification** provides a compelling vision for a sovereign, high-performance visualization stack (`Presentar` + `Trueno-Viz`) that replaces fragmented Python frameworks (Gradio, Streamlit). It strongly aligns with **Lean** principles by eliminating the "Muda" of full-page reruns (Streamlit style) and adopting "JIT" signal-based rendering. However, as an implemented system, it lacks critical features for **Accessibility (A11y)** and **Mobile Responsiveness**, risking exclusion of user groups and "Mura" (uneven experience) across devices.

## 2. Toyota Way Assessment

### 2.1 Jidoka (Built-in Quality) - Visual Regression
**Observation:** The spec focuses on migration and performance.
**Critique:** When migrating a dashboard from Streamlit to Presentar, visual bugs are inevitable. Manual checking is unreliable.
**Recommendation:** Implement **Automated Visual Regression Testing**. Use a tool like `playwright-rs` to capture screenshots of `Presentar` apps during CI and diff them against golden baselines, stopping the line if pixel drift exceeds 1%.

### 2.2 Respect for People (Accessibility)
**Observation:** The spec details GPU rendering and WASM.
**Critique:** There is zero mention of ARIA labels, screen reader support, or keyboard navigation. A sovereign stack must be usable by *all* citizens.
**Recommendation:** Mandate **Accessibility Standards (WCAG 2.1)**. All `Presentar` components must auto-generate semantic HTML/ARIA roles. `Trueno-Viz` charts must provide tabular data fallbacks for screen readers.

### 2.3 Heijunka (Level Loading) - Client Device
**Observation:** `Trueno-Viz` uses "Full WebGPU".
**Critique:** This assumes high-end client hardware. On a low-end laptop or mobile phone, WebGPU might crash or drain the battery.
**Recommendation:** Implement **Adaptive Rendering Levels**. Detect client capabilities and degrade gracefully: WebGPU -> WebGL2 -> Canvas 2D -> Server-Side Rendering (static PNG).

### 2.4 Muda (Waste) - Duplicate Logic
**Observation:** Migration examples show rewriting Python logic in Rust.
**Critique:** Rewriting complex data transformation logic (Pandas -> Polars/Rust) is error-prone and wasteful ("Reinvention of the Wheel").
**Recommendation:** Support **Hybrid Bindings**. Allow `Presentar` (Rust UI) to call out to existing Python kernels (via `PyO3`) for data processing during the transition phase, eliminating the waste of immediate "Big Bang" rewrites.

## 3. Missing Recommended Pieces (Post-Implementation)

To harden the implemented system for production adoption, the following components are required:

### 3.1 The "Theme Engine" (Standardized Work)
Enterprise dashboards require consistent branding.
*   **Gap:** Spec implies hardcoded styles or generic defaults.
*   **Requirement:** Implement a **CSS Variable-based Theme System**. Users should define `theme.toml` (colors, fonts, spacing) once, and it should cascade to all `Presentar` and `Trueno-Viz` components automatically.

### 3.2 "Hot Reload" Dev Experience (Flow)
Rust compilation times break the "Flow" state familiar to Streamlit devs.
*   **Gap:** Waiting 30s to see a UI change is unacceptable for rapid prototyping.
*   **Requirement:** Implement **State-Preserving Hot Reload**. Use dynamic linking (dylibs) or an interpreter (Ruchy) for the UI layout layer, allowing instant feedback without recompiling the core engine.

### 3.3 Mobile Layout Primitives
*   **Gap:** `Row`/`Column` primitives are rigid.
*   **Requirement:** Implement **Responsive Grid Layouts**. Components should support breakpoints (e.g., `col-span-12 md:col-span-6`) to ensure dashboards are usable on mobile devices ("Genchi Genbutsu" - go and see the app on a phone).

### 3.4 Data Export "Andon"
*   **Gap:** Users often see a chart and want the underlying data.
*   **Requirement:** Built-in **"Export Data" Actions**. Every `Trueno-Viz` component should have a default context menu to download the visible viewport data as CSV/JSON, enabling downstream analysis.

## 5. Conclusion

The `data-visualization-integration-query.md` defines a high-performance, sovereign alternative to the existing ecosystem. It excels in **Performance** and **Data Sovereignty**. However, to win over developers and serve all users, it must prioritize **Accessibility**, **Developer Experience (Hot Reload)**, and **Mobile Responsiveness**. Without these, it remains a niche high-performance tool rather than a general-purpose application platform.
