 ## Troubleshooting
 
 - 400 from dynamic API routes: ensure you await `ctx.params` before Zod validation.
+- Missing facets or scope toggles: ensure helper tables from `ZXDB_help_search.sql` exist.
 - Unknown column errors for lookup names: ZXDB tables use column `text` for names; Drizzle schema must select `text` as `name`.
 - Slow entry page: confirm server‑rendering is active and ISR is set; client components should not fetch on the first paint when initial props are provided.
 - MySQL auth or network errors: verify `ZXDB_URL` and that your user has read permissions.
 
 ## Roadmap
 
-- Facet counts displayed in the `/zxdb` filter UI.
-- Breadcrumbs and additional a11y polish.
-- Media assets and download links per release (future).
+- Issue-centric media grouping and richer magazine metadata.
+- Additional cross-links for tags, relations, and permissions as UI expands.
