Roadmap

Missing pieces

  • A formal WDS deployment record for production deployments (what changed, version/commit/snapshot, build command and result, deployment target/env, deploy time, verification steps)
  • Post-deploy route-checking records for key routes
  • An accessibility checklist and recorded accessibility verification for public deployment
  • A rollback or restore note (manual or automated procedures)
  • A monitoring expectations note (uptime monitoring status, cadence, alerting channels)
  • Static asset organization notes (documented layout and generation/source provenance)
  • Release or publication notes / changelog tied to deployments

Next steps

  1. Create a deployment-record template and backfill the most recent production deploy: site id/domain, commit or content snapshot, build command & result, target env, deploy time, verification steps
  2. Run and record post-deploy route checks for key routes listed in sitemap.xml, storing results alongside the deployment record
  3. Produce an accessibility checklist and run an accessibility audit for production pages; attach results to the deployment record
  4. Document rollback and restore expectations (manual steps and any automated restore scripts)
  5. Add a monitoring expectations document — cadence, alerting, whether uptime is actively monitored vs. manual review — linked to mirror-status.json's publication process
  6. Add a static-asset organization note (source directories, generated outputs, caching/immutable path strategy)

Potential improvements

  • Automate deployment-record generation as part of the build/deploy script (git commit, build output, timestamps, route checks, accessibility results)
  • An automated post-deploy route and HTML metadata checker (validate title/description/JSON-LD presence)
  • Lightweight uptime monitoring (internal pings or external checks), surfaced to the operator via email/Telegram
  • GPG verification and signed manifests for snapshot releases and ISO artifacts, for improved provenance
  • An operator-facing runbook consolidating manifest editing, mirror adding, rsync commands, and troubleshooting steps

Creative enhancements (ideas on file, not committed)

  • An operator "reconstructibility" dashboard surfacing items marked reconstructible by AI, showing provenance chains, and queuing automated reconstruction jobs
  • An offline operator utility (Tauri/Electron) mirroring key dashboards and allowing local verification/rsync command generation for air-gapped environments
  • A compact "archive DOI" mechanism — stable content-addressed identifiers and JSON-LD records referenceable by external research papers and datasets
  • P2P gateway integration (BitTorrent webseed + optional IPFS mirror) for high-resilience distribution of critical snapshots
  • An LLM-driven changelog summarizer auto-generating human-readable release notes from deployment records, schema diffs, and mirror-status changes
