TOTAL: 0/244 hours
ESTIMATED COMPLETION: ~6 weeks (mid-Feb 2026)
CRITICAL PATH: Phases 0→1→2→4→5 (must be sequential)
Status: 2/2 required checks pending
Action: Monitoring script running, auto-push when complete
ETA: < 30 minutes (usually)
Impact: Can start Phase 0 once checks pass
Status: NOT STARTED
Duration: ~12 hours
Impact: Cannot start Phase 1 until Phase 0 done
Why: Need AGENTS.md + schemas + copilot instructions defined
Status: ASSUMED STABLE (v1.6.27 actionlint, v0.2.0 zizmor, v8.18.0 gitleaks)
Action: Pin versions in version registry
Impact: Auto-install reliability depends on this
- ✅ Push succeeds automatically
- 🎯 START PHASE 0 (Foundation)
- Create AGENTS.md with rules
- Define schemas
- Setup copilot instructions
- Est. 12 hours (rest of day + next day)

- No shortcuts, full Definition of Done
-
Enterprise features are marked with ⭐
- These are ADDED to V2.0 for production readiness
- Originally planned for V2.1, but moved to V2.0
- Adds ~30 hours to timeline
-
Phase dependencies are STRICT
- Cannot start Phase 1 until Phase 0 complete
- Cannot start Phase 2 until Phase 1 complete
- Cannot release until Phase 5 complete
-
GitHub Actions must pass
- Currently monitoring 2/2 checks
- If fails, quick fixes available
- Delay estimated at <2 hours worst case
WHERE ARE WE RIGHT NOW?
Status: ⏳ GATE CHECKPOINT
├─ GitHub Actions: 2/2 checks pending (monitoring active)
├─ Tests: 1109/1109 passing locally ✅
├─ Code: Ready for Phase 0 ✅
└─ Blocker: CI completion (30 min ETA)
NEXT: Once CI passes → START PHASE 0
WHAT SHOULD WE DO NOW?
Options:
- 😴 Wait passively - Monitor CI, relax
- 📝 Work ahead on Phase 0 - Prepare schemas, AGENTS.md
- 🧪 Prepare contingencies - Be ready for CI failures
- 🎯 Start Phase 1 after CI - Aggressive schedule
RECOMMENDATION: Option 2 (work ahead) + Option 1 (monitor)
- Prepare Phase 0 materials while monitoring CI
- Get 2-3 hours jump on actual implementation
- No risk, high value
