Roadmap

Versions and milestones, one line each. Status: done, in progress, next, later. Behaviour of shipped items is in SPEC.md; each upcoming step has a design in design/. This page never describes behaviour.

Sizes are rough estimates in agent-days. The order follows the maintainer's own workflow first.
