Roadmap

Solipsist is a harness, not a better compiler and not a Markdown IDE. Boris stays a better Boris: we vendor the binary, file issues, render contracts, and host the surfaces we will not rewrite.

Where we are

Milestone	Status
M0 Bootstrap	✅
M1 Engine spike	✅ — decodes the IR contracts
M2 Chassis	✅ — sources / play / drawer / companion slots
P Project subdomain	next (parallel)
M3 Play & inspect	next
M4 Coordinate	—
M5 Preview	—
M6 Author	—
M7 Outputs	—
M8 Publish	—
M9 Ship	—

v1 must

• One-window Mail-grade chrome: sources, play, inspector drawer, real menus
• Local source via security-scoped bookmark
• Graph as a workable list — trunks, satellites, status, relations — from contracts
• The publication profile (boris.json) is the single source of truth
• Coordinator verbs: Plan, Validate, Build, Check, Impact, Stop — each a menu item
• Diagnostics as a place: clickable reports, not monospaced dumps
• Engine-owned preview via watch --serve + SSE
• A hosted editor: boris-editor in a companion window
• Outputs fan-out: every profile target and edition, isolated, reported
• A publication console: GitHub Pages, Standard.site, Nostr — secrets on stdin
• Sandboxed, bundled, pinned engine

v1 must not

• A from-scratch native editor or frontmatter parser
• An app-side HTTP server or file:// preview
• A graph algorithm in Swift
• Cloudflare / Vercel / Netlify as in-app deploy adapters
• Wasm or compileBundle inside Solipsist — subprocess isolation stays
• Theme authoring (selection only)

The north star

Open a folder of Boris content → it appears as a source → the play place shows the real graph from graph.json → the drawer shows the profile and the selected page → Plan / Validate / Build surface every diagnostic → Preview reloads through watch --serve → Edit opens boris-editor → Publish runs GitHub Pages evidence, Standard.site, or Nostr with the Proof Pack attached.

This project’s own public face is a Cloudflare subdomain on Boris’s official Worker + Wasm embed host — stood up early, on the Free tier, not as an in-app engine. Full detail lives in the repository ROADMAP.md.
