# Roadmap

Component-level breakdown. The milestone-level master (M1–M5, with the vision
decisions behind it) is `docs/private/roadmap.md` in the docs submodule.

Implementation strategy and record of existing/planned features. Completed items are
terse checklists — the requirement detail lives in `docs/private/vision.md` (goals,
requirements, decisions) and `docs/architecture/structure.canvas` (the four-way component split).
Remaining tasks keep enough scope to be actionable.

Legend: `[x]` done · `[ ]` planned · sub-lists split done vs. remaining for partial items.

Within each phase, remaining `[ ]` items are listed in rough priority order: making the
existing flow engine reachable and persistent precedes new feature breadth.

## Phase 0 — Workspace and platform

- [x] Root orchestrator repo with `app`, `index` and `docs` as submodules
- [x] `make init` bootstrap: secrets generation, per-stack `.env` propagation, shared
      `proxy` docker network
- [x] Layered compose (`compose.yml` → `compose.dev.yml` → `compose.local.yml`) for both
      stacks, one Traefik serving `${DOMAIN}`, `app.${DOMAIN}`, `api.${DOMAIN}`
- [x] Design token contract: root `DESIGN-GUIDELINES.md`, per-repo `DESIGN.md`,
      byte-identical token blocks verified by `make design-check`
- [ ] CI on Codeberg (Forgejo Actions): pre-commit, backend tests, Playwright, compose smoke

## Phase 1 — Backend: management

Python, optimised for development speed. Owns the graph structure, persistence and the
external interfaces. See `docs/architecture/structure.canvas` → *Backend – Management*.

- [x] FastAPI + SQLModel + Alembic + Postgres base with JWT auth and user management
- [x] Flow engine in `backend/app/flow/`: `Node` / `Pipeline` / `StateBackend`
      (memory + Redis) / `FlowController`
- [x] Node types: HTTP, MQTT, InfluxDB, Delay, MLP
- [x] `app/flow` is an importable package with absolute `app.flow.*` imports
- [x] Typed, serializable node I/O: every port declares a `DType`, messages are
      JSON on the wire and in Redis, no pickle anywhere. Binary codecs are still
      open — `DType.JSON` carries everything non-scalar for now
- [x] Message namespacing per flow (`flow.message`), with several producers per
      message resolving to real fan-in
- [x] Secrets/credentials store for node integrations managed via the API/UI
      (encrypted at rest, referenced from node params as `{"$secret": "name"}`);
      `.env` bootstrap-only
- [x] Connector node contract: `ConnectorNode` with a declared contract version,
      a polling coordinator that deduplicates, `x-secret` parameters the editor
      renders as a secret picker, and health reporting. Connectors are installed
      packages found through the `fluksio.node_types` entry point group; the
      contract is documented in `docs/connectors/` with a working skeleton at
      `connector-skeleton/`. The registry follows later
- [x] Node lifecycle as a protocol (`start`/`stop`/`report_health` on `Node`),
      replacing the controller's per-type isinstance chains — the same hooks a
      connector implements, validated on the built-in nodes first
- [x] Flow persistence: `flow.json` plus node sources per flow, replacing the
      watch-directory prototype
- [x] REST + WebSocket API over the engine: create/read/update flows, edit node
      source, run, and stream values, node status and execution events
- [x] Dependency-loop detection and graph validation surfaced as API errors
- [x] Per-flow start/stop, stored in a `runtime.json` beside the flow so it
      survives a restart and stays out of the autosaved document; pause/resume
      holds a flow's nodes while its values keep arriving
- [x] Node log streaming: what a node prints, and the traceback of one that
      fails, reach the editor as `node_log` events
- [ ] MQTT broker / InfluxDB compose services for local development
- [x] Git-based versioning of the flow store (one commit per saved change)
- [x] Draft/publish split: edits autosave to `flow.draft.json` / `nodes.draft/`,
      the engine runs only the published files, and publishing promotes the
      draft. Saves carry the version they were based on, so a second client
      editing the same flow is refused rather than overwritten
- [ ] Import/export of a flow as human-readable code plus a JSON structure
- [x] Per-input/-output discretization interval setting: a port publishes, or
      wakes its node, at most every n seconds. State keeps the latest value, so
      only the delivery is skipped
- [ ] Alert / notification handler
- [x] Deep health check (`GET /utils/health/`): reports event-loop lag and state-backend
      reachability and fails the container healthcheck, so a wedged engine is restarted
      rather than counted as up. One engine per deployment — the API image runs a single
      worker, because a second one would be a second engine
- [x] Supervised background tasks: a node's subscription, schedule or poll loop is
      restarted with growing delay when it dies, and a flow that spends its failure
      budget is quarantined and surfaced rather than left crash-looping. The loops
      themselves no longer carry private retry logic
- [ ] Test nodes: a small node dragged onto an existing one, smoke or unit, blocking
      deployment on failure
- [ ] User management scoped per flow and per data set
- [x] MCP server over the same API: agents authenticate through a built-in
      OAuth 2.1 authorization server (dynamic registration, PKCE, rotating
      refresh tokens) and drive the flow API through 20 tools. Tokens are
      RS256, signed with their own keypair, so the set can be revoked on its
      own — and an additional issuer is one branch in `deps.decode_token`,
      which is the seam remote access needs later
- [ ] LLM interface for natural-language flow authoring beyond the MCP tools

## Phase 2 — Backend: processing

Rust, optimised for throughput. Executes nodes and distributes them across workers. See
`docs/architecture/structure.canvas` → *Backend – Processing*.

- [ ] Parallel invocation of stateless nodes over independent input sets, to
      keep I/O delay minimal (stateful I/O nodes keep serializing via the
      `synchronous` mechanism)
- [ ] Extract node execution from the Python prototype into a Rust engine
- [ ] Worker distribution and load balancing across capable devices
- [ ] Input/output validation at the node boundary
- [ ] Data aggregation and discretization

## Phase 3 — Frontend: admin view

React + Vite, primarily desktop but usable on mobile. See `docs/architecture/structure.canvas` →
*Frontend – Admin View*.

- [x] Dashboard SPA shell: TanStack Router, floating frosted sidebar, auth flows,
      generated OpenAPI SDK
- [x] Node canvas (`@xyflow/react`) showing nodes and their connections, which
      are derived from message names rather than stored
- [x] Tab-style view of atomic flows, with a floating dock
- [x] Embedded code editor (Monaco) for node source
- [x] Live values on the edges, with the last payload and its time on click
- [x] Validation shown on the node it belongs to, and summarised in the dock
- [x] Publish control and draft markers in the flow bar, discard in the flow
      panel, and a conflict dialog when another client got there first
- [x] Marking a node reusable, and placing a shared one from the palette
- [x] Secret picker for credential parameters, so a password never lands in
      `flow.json`
- [x] Dashboard showing which flows run, which are stopped and which have
      errors, with a switch per flow
- [x] Logs panel in the canvas dock, pause/resume beside Run, and replaying an
      edge's last message from the inspector
- [ ] Device assignment per node, selectable from compatible devices
- [ ] Test-node affordance on the canvas
- [ ] User management screens
- [x] Mobile-friendly canvas: touch connect, full-screen node panel
- [ ] Installable as a PWA (`vite-plugin-pwa`)

## Phase 4 — Frontend: dashboard view

Shares components with the admin view. See `docs/architecture/structure.canvas` →
*Frontend – Dashboard View*.

- [ ] User-defined dashboard layout with edit and view modes
- [ ] Responsive layout targeting wall panels, mobile and desktop
- [ ] Per-device view

## Phase 5 — Website and docs

- [x] Marketing site with a live node-graph demo, shared design system
- [ ] Published documentation site fed from the `docs` submodule
- [ ] Umami analytics configured (the site still ships the placeholder script)
