* The Evolutionary Roadmap

The roadmap is designed working backwards from SOTA parity (V 1.0.0), guiding each version toward a fully autonomous, self-editing agent. Each version builds on the previous, with features designed to be implemented in pure Common Lisp + Org-mode.

** Version Roadmap

*** v0.1.0: The Autonomous Foundation ✅
The secure, auditable Lisp kernel. All core infrastructure in place.

*** v0.2.0: Interactive Refinement ✅
The "Brain" meets the "Machine." Standardization and professionalization of the user interface and environment.

| Feature | Status | Notes |
| :--- | :---: | :--- |
| Minimalist Kernel | ✅ | Purified harness targeting I/O & Memory only. |
| Sovereign Skills | ✅ | Diagnostics and Configuration extracted to Userland. |
| POSIX/XDG Compliance| ✅ | Standardized paths (~/.config, ~/.local). |
| Professional TUI | ✅ | Styled, scrollable, and verified Lisp interface. |
| Onboarding Wizard | ✅ | Modular Lisp setup for multiple LLM providers. |
| Linkage Command | ✅ | Real-time verification of external gateways (Telegram). |

*** v0.3.0: Event Orchestration + HITL
Unified control plane and Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) state management.

| Feature | Description |
| :--- | :--- |
| org-skill-event-orchestrator | Unified hooks + cron + routing. Three tiers: =:REFLEX=, =:COGNITION=, =:REASONING=. |
| Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) | Continuation-based interaction. The agent can "suspend" to ask clarification and resume state. |
| Asynchronous Embedding Gateway | Provider-agnostic vector generation (Ollama, local llama.cpp) via background worker. |
| Telegram Gateway Skill | Full implementation of the message receiver for linked Telegram bots. |
| Command Palette | Support for internal `/` commands defined as Lisp-native capabilities. |

*** v0.4.0: Long-Horizon Planning + Git Workflows
Structured tracking, failure handling, and course correction for multi-step engineering work.

| Feature | Description |
| :--- | :--- |
| org-skill-long-horizon | Decompose tasks into Org-mode headline trees. |
| org-skill-git-steward | Policy-enforced git workflows (Commit-Before-Modify). |
| TDD runner | Auto-verify changes on save and trigger self-fix loops. |

*** v0.5.0+ : True Agency and Lisp Machine Emergence
World models, visual grounding, and total internalization of the AI stack.
- **v0.5.0**: Interactive PTY Actuators & Environment Stewardship.
- **v0.7.0**: Visual Grounding & MCP Bridge.
- **v1.0.0**: SOTA Parity (Competitive with commercial agents).
- **v2.0.0**: Lisp Machine Emergence (Agent IS the OS).
