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

M0–M14 shipped as gates; M15–M17 shipped the GitHub source and the boris-content-audit / boris-source-rag / Compose-depth depth. Remaining ship work is Apple-account only.

Track	Status
M0–M8 gates	✅ landed
M9 Ship	✅ pipeline + universal bundle (notarized `v*` + clean-Mac proof are #110/#111, Apple-account only)
P Project subdomain	⛔ withdrawn — this site is Cloudflare Pages
M10 Mail body	✅ Settings, mailboxes, reading pane, hosted Edit, native Compose (#98)
M11 Prove the Mail body	✅ Help audit + test pass
M12 Clone	✅ `Add Git Repository…` → Local source
M13 Graph folders	✅ trunk mailboxes from `graph.parent`
M14 Watch contract	✅ A1 `--watch-json` + letter SSE
M15 GitHub source	✅ OAuth device flow + `SourceKind.github`
M16 Write the remote	✅ commit / push / PR authoring / issues
M17 Pull Requests mailbox	✅ `/pulls` list + authoring entry
Polish `>200`	✅ `>200` batch (reading, problems, chrome, a11y, empties, compose, contracts, git)
Usability / depth	✅ first-run, filter, plan doc, profile 1:1, `recipe-scale`, Standard.site/Nostr proof

v1 must

One-window Mail-grade chrome: Settings for sources, mailboxes, reading pane, inspector drawer, real menus
Local source via security-scoped bookmark — the first account, added in Settings
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, opened from the selected page
A native compose window over that page (⌘⇧C), previewed through Oliver
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 frontmatter parser, a graph algorithm, or a homegrown Markdown renderer
A Finder clone of the content tree
A frontmatter parser or Swift Markdown renderer (Compose paints; Oliver/Boris parse)
An app-side HTTP server or file:// preview
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 is a source in Settings → it appears as an account with mailboxes → the reading place shows the graph as messages and a pane for the selected page → the drawer shows the profile and that page → Plan / Validate / Build surface every diagnostic → Preview reloads through watch --serve → Edit opens boris-editor → Compose is the native buffer → 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.
