Roadmap

The CephalonEngine roadmap is split into three horizons.

Now (0.1.0-preview)

• Continuous, additive shipping inside the preview minor.
• Eventing track: broker topology, partition behaviour, scheduled delivery, DLQ replay, process manager state.
• Data track: graduate the most-used adapters from M2 → M3.
• Observability track: add remaining provider companions; graduate dependency-health probes to M3.
• Multi-tenancy track: durable governance + email-delivery adapters at M3.

Next (0.2.0-preview)

• First minor with a managed migration story.
• Graduate the engine core + AspNetCore host + Worker to M4.
• Manifest schema review — bump to v3 if needed.
• Identity, audit, and tenancy graduate to M3.
• Cephalon.MigrationAssistant tool ships.

Later (1.0)

• Stable 1.0.0 release.
• Frozen runtime contract.
• Multi-version docs with snapshot-based version switcher.
• Plugin-ready modular composition model.
• .NET 11 readiness lane lands as supported (subject to readiness audit findings).
