Packages can declare `adoptable: true` in their manifest. When a team adopts an adoptable package, a team-scoped copy is created that references the original via `adopted_from` (shared assets, no disk duplication). The package's `requires_roles` auto-populate into a new `team_role_catalog` table so team admins know which roles to assign. Migration 017: adoptable/adopted_from columns on packages, team_role_catalog table. 4 new endpoints (adopt, list adoptable, unadopt, role catalog). AdoptTeamWorkflow deprecated. 11 new tests, all passing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Armature — Roadmap
|
|
|
|
## Current: v0.9.x — Workflow Redesign + Multi-Surface Packages
|
|
|
|
Self-hosted extensible platform kernel. Auth, identity, packages, Starlark
|
|
sandbox, storage, realtime, and ops are kernel primitives. Everything else
|
|
is an extension.
|
|
|
|
**Kernel capabilities:** Auth (builtin/mTLS/OIDC) · Users/teams/groups/RBAC ·
|
|
Surfaces/extensions/libraries/workflows · Starlark sandbox (capability-gated) ·
|
|
Object storage (PVC/S3) + ext_data tables · WebSocket hub + realtime pub/sub ·
|
|
Audit log · Notifications · Scheduled tasks · Cluster registry + HA ·
|
|
Extension composability (slots/contributes/cross-package calls)
|
|
|

## Planned
|
|
|
|
### v0.9.x — Multi-Surface Packages + Workflow Redesign
|
|
|
|
**v0.9.0 — Multi-Surface Packages** *(completed)*
|
|
|
|
Packages declare a `surfaces` array with per-path access controls,
|
|
titles, and layouts. Unified route tree dispatches between surface
|
|
rendering and ext API calls. `sw.navigate()` for client-side sub-path
|
|
routing. Design doc: `docs/DESIGN-multi-surface.md`.
|
|
|
|
**v0.9.1 — Server-Side Sub-Path Routing** *(completed)*
|
|
|
|
Consolidated root and catch-all route handlers into a unified dispatcher.
|
|
Added `aggregateAccess()` for early auth short-circuit on all-authenticated
|
|
packages. SDK seeds initial history state for back-button resilience.
|
|
8 handler integration tests + 5 aggregateAccess unit tests.
|
|
|
|
**v0.9.2 — Starlark Converter Consolidation + Snapshot Cleanup** *(completed)*
|
|
|
|
Consolidated duplicate Go↔Starlark converters into `sandbox/convert.go`
|
|
(4 exported functions) and snapshot parsers into `models/snapshot.go`.
|
|
Standardized on wrapped snapshot format. ~350 lines of duplication removed.
|
|
Design doc: `docs/DESIGN-workflow-redesign.md`.
|
|
|
|
**v0.9.3 — Team User Roles** *(completed)*
|
|
|
|
Many-to-many `team_user_roles` table. `RequireRole()` middleware.
|
|
Manifest `requires_roles` field (advisory). Starlark `teams` module
|
|
with `get_member_roles()` and `has_role()`. Team-admin UI with role
|
|
badge chips and assignment dropdown. 10 new tests.
|
|
|
|
**v0.9.4 — Package Adoption + Roles** *(completed)*
|
|
|
|
`adoptable` manifest field + `team_role_catalog` table. When a team
|
|
adopts an adoptable package, the package's `requires_roles` auto-populate
|
|
into the team's role catalog. Adopted packages reference the original via
|
|
`adopted_from` column (shared assets, no disk duplication).
|
|
`AdoptTeamWorkflow` deprecated in favor of package-level adoption.
|
|
4 new endpoints, migration 017, 11 new tests.
|
|
|
|
**v0.9.5 — Typed Forms → SDK Primitive**
|
|
|
|
Extract `TypedFormTemplate`, `FormField`, `FormFieldset`, etc. from
|
|
`models/workflow.go` into a `forms` package. FE SDK: `sw.forms.render()`
|
|
and `sw.forms.validate()`. Starlark: `forms.validate()`. Any package
|
|
can declare forms, not just workflow stages.
|
|
|
|
**v0.9.6 — Deprecate `stage_type`, Collapse `stage_mode`**
|
|
|
|
`stage_type` (simple/dynamic/automated) is redundant with `starlark_hook`
|
|
presence. Remove from new manifests, keep parsing for backward compat.
|
|
Collapse `stage_mode` from 4 to 3 values: form / delegated / automated.
|
|
|
|
**v0.9.7 — Full Read/Write Workflow Starlark Module**
|
|
|
|
Add `workflow.start()`, `workflow.advance()`, `workflow.cancel()`,
|
|
`workflow.submit_signoff()` to the Starlark module. Extract engine
|
|
interface to break circular import.
|
|
|
|
**v0.9.8 — Conditional Routing → SDK Primitive**
|
|
|
|
Expose `routing.evaluate(rules, data)` as a Starlark SDK function.
|
|
Branch rules become a reusable decision engine for any extension.
|
|
|
|
**v0.9.9 — Surface Access via Roles**
|
|
|
|
Wire team roles (v0.9.3) into surface access declarations:
|
|
`access: role:approver`. Kernel middleware checks role membership.
|
|
Completes the workflow→package access story.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
### v0.10.x — Panels + Composable Layout
|
|
|
|
Panels are a new kernel rendering tier between surfaces (full-page) and
|
|
block renderers (inline). They solve composable companion views — e.g.,
|
|
a notes reference panel inside chat. Design doc: `docs/DESIGN-panels.md`.
|
|
|
|
| Version | Title |
|
|
|---------|-------|
|
|
| v0.10.0 | Panel Manifest + Lifecycle |
|
|
| v0.10.1 | FloatingPanel Primitive |
|
|
| v0.10.2 | Docked Panels + Mode Transitions |
|
|
| v0.10.3 | Panel Communication Patterns |
|
|
| v0.10.4 | Reference Panel: Notes (basic) |
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### v0.11.x — Notes Reference Extension
|
|
|
|
Notes becomes the first reference extension — a production-quality
|
|
knowledge base that exercises every kernel primitive. The UI/UX redesign
|
|
is front-loaded as v0.11.0 so every subsequent feature version builds on
|
|
a clean visual foundation. Design doc: `docs/DESIGN-notes-v011x.md`.
|
|
|
|
| Version | Title |
|
|
|---------|-------|
|
|
| v0.11.0 | UI/UX Foundation — visual redesign |
|
|
| v0.11.1 | Deep Folders + Navigation |
|
|
| v0.11.2 | Wikilinks + Backlinks |
|
|
| v0.11.3 | Live Preview + Rich Editing |
|
|
| v0.11.4 | Note Sharing + Permissions |
|
|
| v0.11.5 | Graph + Outline Hardening |
|
|
| v0.11.6 | Quick Switcher + Commands |
|
|
| v0.11.7 | Daily Notes + Templates |
|
|
| v0.11.8 | Transclusion + Embeds |
|
|
| v0.11.9 | Composability: Slots + Actions |
|
|
| v0.11.10 | Panel Enhancement + Quality Gate |
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### v0.12.x — Reference Extensions (Remaining)
|
|
|
|
The kernel is complete. This series proves the platform by shipping
|
|
first-party extensions that exercise every primitive. These are
|
|
**extensions, not kernel code** — they ship as `.pkg` files and can be
|
|
uninstalled.
|
|
|
|
| Version | Title |
|
|
|---------|-------|
|
|
| v0.12.0 | `vector-store` Library |
|
|
| v0.12.1 | `llm-bridge` Library |
|
|
| v0.12.2 | `file-share` Extension |
|
|
| v0.12.3 | `code-workspace` Extension |
|
|
| v0.12.4 | `image-gen` + `image-edit` Extensions |
|
|
| v0.12.5 | Chat System |
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### v0.13.x — Sidecar Tier + Polish
|
|
|
|
| Version | Title |
|
|
|---------|-------|
|
|
| v0.13.0 | Sidecar Tier |
|
|
| v0.13.1 | Native Dialog Audit |
|
|
| v0.13.2 | Stability + Migration Tooling |
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
### v1.0.0 — Stable Release
|
|
|
|
Kernel API surface frozen. Extensions are the product.
|
|
|
|
Gate criteria:
|
|
|
|
- All kernel Starlark modules documented with examples
|
|
- All `api_routes` covered by OpenAPI spec
|
|
- Upgrade path tested from v0.8.0 → v1.0.0
|
|
- At least 3 reference extensions shipped (vector-store, llm-bridge, chat)
|
|
- At least 1 cross-extension composability demo (image-gen → chat:image-actions)
|
|
- Headless E2E green on PG + SQLite
|
|
- `armature-ca.sh` + mTLS deployment guide
|
|
- Single-binary + Docker + K8s deployment paths documented
|
|
- Notes reference extension shipped with all v0.11.x features
|
|
- Notes UI/UX reviewed against v0.11.0 design principles — no placeholder UI
|
|
- At least 1 panel shipped and consumed cross-package (notes.reference → chat)
|
|
- Panel lifecycle test coverage in SDK test runner
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Post-1.0 Horizon
|
|
|
|
These are candidates, not commitments. Each requires a design doc.
|
|
|
|
- **Federation** — cross-instance package sharing, identity federation
|
|
- **Package marketplace** — signing, review, discovery registry
|
|
- **Desktop app** — Tauri wrapper for local-first deployment
|
|
- **Offline/sync** — SQLite-first with PG sync for field deployments
|
|
- **Multi-tenant SaaS mode** — tenant isolation at the team boundary
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Design Principles
|
|
|
|
| Principle | Implication |
|
|
|-----------|-------------|
|
|
| Extensions are the product | Chat, tasks, LLM, vector search, file sharing — all extensions. Zero kernel awareness of domain logic. |
|
|
| Kernel stays thin | New kernel primitives require justification. If it can be an extension, it must be. |
|
|
| Progressive enhancement | Every feature works on SQLite. PG adds performance. pgvector adds native vectors. S3 adds scalable storage. |
|
|
| KISS-first | No unnecessary dependencies. Preact+htm (3KB), single binary, dual-DB from one codebase. |
|
|
| Changeset discipline | Each CS independently CI-green. Design docs as implementation contracts. |
|
|
| Pre-1.0 migration freedom | Schema changes fold into existing migrations. Post-1.0: proper versioned migrations. |
|
|

## Design Decisions Log
|
|
|
|
| Decision | Rationale |
|
|
|----------|-----------|
|
|
| Tasks → extension | Three trigger primitives replace the monolithic scheduler. |
|
|
| Sessions removed | Workflow instances with dedicated storage replace kernel sessions. |
|
|
| `custom` stage mode | Delegates to a surface package, proving extension composability. |
|
|
| Providers removed from kernel | Connections + Starlark `provider.complete` as the interface. |
|
|
| Kernel permissions simplified | 6 platform permissions. Extensions define their own. |
|
|
| Preact+htm retained | 3KB runtime, no build step, KISS. |
|
|
| Single Docker image | Go binary + assets + migrations. |
|
|
| Admin → RBAC group | Grant check replaces role check. |
|
|
| Settings cascade | Scope auth + `user_overridable`. Two orthogonal axes. |
|
|
| Chat as extension, not kernel | Zero kernel awareness. Proves extensibility thesis. |
|
|
| PG as consensus layer | UNLOGGED node_registry + LISTEN/NOTIFY. No etcd/Consul/Redis. |
|
|
| Two trigger tiers | Extension-declared (full sandbox) vs user ad-hoc (restricted). |
|
|
| Two-slot topbar model | Left slot (title/branding) + center slot (`flex: 1`, tabs/pickers). |
|
|
| `db` module is the structured store | No separate KV primitive. Extensions declare tables. |
|
|
| `files` module rides ObjectStore | No new kernel tables. Metadata as companion objects. |
|
|
| `workspace` for real filesystem | Flat blob store can't serve git/compilers/ffmpeg. Managed disk paths. |
|
|
| Capability negotiation at install | Fail loud with actionable message, not silently at runtime. |
|
|
| Vector column with three-tier fallback | Works everywhere, works fast with pgvector. |
|
|
| Sidecar deferred to v0.13.x | HTTP module covers external APIs. Sidecars connect inward (no k8s RBAC needed). |
|
|
| Workflow redesign before reference extensions | Clean up debt and promote primitives before building on top. |
|
|
| Panels as kernel primitive (v0.10.x) | Z-index coordination, drag/resize, layout negotiation are kernel concerns. |
|
|
| UI/UX redesign as v0.11.0 | Every feature version builds on the visual foundation. Front-loading avoids double work. |
|
|
| Notes as dedicated v0.11.x series (11 versions) | Complex enough to need changeset discipline. Each version independently shippable. |
|
|
| Notes before remaining reference extensions | Notes proves the full primitive surface. Other extensions build on proven patterns. |
|
