Roadmap

  1. M0

    Foundation

    Available

    Local control plane for engineers and researchers building governed autonomous software systems.

    • Daemon, CLI, IPC, local HTTP gateway, identity, permissions, memory, audit, A2A, MCP, budget, and local receipt ledger
    • Trusted-local subprocess runtime plus fail-closed handling for sandbox-required manifests
    • Opt-in Linux gVisor validation path where host prerequisites are met
    • Autonomous workflow records, live coverage matrix, identity guards, and commit-scoped provenance envelopes
    • Apache 2.0 core
  2. M1

    Hardening

    Next

    Production hardening across the runtime, tooling, and distribution surface.

    • Linux gVisor runner promoted into repeatable CI with pinned fixtures
    • Per-agent LLM routing with fallback chains and budget-aware escalation
    • Terminal user interface (Ratatui)
    • Live web search enabled by default via Brave or SerpAPI
    • Signed installers: Homebrew, deb and rpm packages, macOS notarization
    • Mid-task graceful save when an agent reaches its resource budget
    • Versioning for IPC and capability wire formats
  3. M2

    Marketplace and SDKs

    Upcoming

    On-chain marketplace foundations and a published SDK surface.

    • On-chain agent registry with slashable identity stakes
    • Reputation primitive
    • SDKs published to PyPI (Python), npm (TypeScript), and crates.io (Rust)
    • Adapters for existing agent frameworks: LangGraph and CrewAI
  4. M3

    Native Integration

    Upcoming

    Deeper integration with the host operating system and end-user surfaces.

    • Compositor v1 with native Wayland integration
    • Orchestrator agent
    • Memory compaction across the working, episodic, and long-term tiers
    • First-run onboarding experience
    • Read-only mobile companion application
  5. M4

    Distributed

    Upcoming

    Multi-host operation, federated identity, and cross-organization workflows.

    • Firecracker microVM isolation
    • Cross-host communication with name@host.tld registry resolution
    • Multi-device memory synchronization for a single identity
    • Agent migration across hosts
    • Trust flows for cross-organization marketplace transactions
  6. M5

    1.0 Release

    Upcoming

    Long-term API stability and the formal 1.0 commitment.

    • Stable v1 wire formats for IPC, capabilities, and agent manifests
    • Long-term support release line
    • Bug bounty program
    • Comprehensive documentation across all primitives and public APIs
    • Conformance suite for third-party covenant-compatible runtimes
