Roadmap

Where this is

Every issue in the project, what state it is in, and what is actually left in it. This page is generated from the issue files themselves, so it cannot drift from them — the sentence under each title is that issue’s own status line.

The gates to 2.0

The count above is progress; this is distance. Four are behind us — one of them because it dissolved rather than closed. What is left is not building but looking: walking through what was built and saying whether it works.

Gate 0
Stop flying blind
Cleared 24 Aug — CI green, the suite running, zero broken links.
Gate 1
Close what is open
Cleared 25 Aug — fourteen issues, ending with the two that closed Phase 2 outright.
Gate 3
The map does something
Dissolved 25 Aug. Issue 91 shipped measure, ping and draw; fog, sight and areas moved into the gate below.
Gate 2
The headline feature
Built by early October — the adventure builder, many maps joined by doors, and a night you can run start to finish.
Gate 4
Somebody looks at all of it
Almost everything is built; most of it is waiting for a person to try it out. The Testing page is the list, in order.
