Roadmap

What Core does next, what is still unproven, and where the extensions stand.

What comes next — and the one proof still missing.

Ordered by dependency and honest priority, not by schedule. The source is Core's ROADMAP.md and the open issues; nothing here carries a date.

1
Core — the loop Shipped

Five phases, five gates, ten ceremonies, seven agents. A constitution with /charter as the entry point, nine situational lenses, PR-mode delivery, handoff blocks, a declared QA method, ticket import, and experimental campaigns started with /campaign. In real use, not an experiment: on the author's projects and on a growing number of others, most of them closed source. Cloned from 484 unique sources in the two weeks to 29 Sep 2026. Measured across three machines: 77 features, 429 agent runs, 377 human gate decisions — re-derivable from the committed reports. proof state per capability: docs/status.md

2
guard & graph — the two extensions that hook in Shipped

aSPARK-guard enforces the three gate rules at the tool call and keeps a hash ledger — 142 tests, replayed over 22 real artifacts, no public third-party report yet. aSPARK-graph is on PyPI and scopes /sprint-plan, /peer-review and /demo-day. Known gap: graph still looks for review-report.md, qa-report.md and release-notes.md while Core writes review.md, qa.md and release.md — three of five artifact types are invisible to the graph until the names are reconciled. fix: an alias in graph, open

Proof anyone can check Wanted

aSPARK is in real use well beyond the author's projects. Most of that use is closed source, so what's still missing is evidence anyone can verify. The series aSPARK reads runs it on well-known open-source code and publishes every source; field reports from your own projects add the rest. Whether a lens fires on a website or api project is exactly what such a report shows. A field report is worth more than a patch — most of all when it went badly.

Next in Core Next

Stricter verdict rules for review and QA (#13) — planned, not built: a search of the repo's own trails found one gate evasion, too few to write rules against yet. An observability lens (#15) between api and security. Doubt mid-increment (#14) — only if it stays cheap and rare.

5
Standalone and planned Optional

aSPARK-insights computes traceability metrics from the graph — standalone, not in the loop, not on PyPI. aSPARK-policy is a format, a catalog of 11 packs and, since v0.3.0, a resolve/validate CLI; the /charter binding is unbuilt, and no agent picks up a policy automatically today. aSPARK-ci and aSPARK-memory are planned and not started. none of it will ever be a prerequisite for Core

Compatibility commitment: Core alone stays complete and supported. A missing extension changes nothing about the loop — no error, no warning, no mention.
