A note:

# must for major architectural changes engage the community for
guidance and the Advisory Board for a final decision on acceptance. A
review of the proposed changes must be provided to the community and
Advisory Board by the Gatekeepers. (Standards-based changes must go
through the protocol standards process rather than an internal
process)

For major architectural changes, must engage.....

I would also add functional tests in addition to unit tests.  Many
functional tests already exist (in src/tests), so improving that
