Realign the roadmap with what is already built
Three of the roadmap's claims were contradicted by the repository itself. Fleet management was Phase 11, "Planned", and positioning.md said config still flowed to the agent from the host rather than from the platform. agent-management-design.md has recorded the opposite for some time: punch list complete, verified live, with central authoring, versioning, rollout on the next check-in, observation, and a restart command a real agent picks up and acts on. There is no Phase 11 now. Its remainder is either already named there -- stop/uninstall, per-host multi-row alerting, a rule-per-host generator -- or belongs to Phase 8, since distributing rules is the one genuinely new thing the mechanism has to carry, and a rule language nobody can push to a fleet is not worth having. That inverts the old ordering argument, which put fleet last on the grounds that it manages configuration the earlier phases define. Sound reasoning; the world went the other way and built the mechanism first. Recorded rather than quietly dropped, because the instinct behind it is a good one that happened not to apply. Retention was listed as a question Phase 10 would finally have to answer. Half of it is answered: api/logretention serves operator-driven preview and delete with an owner-only per-agent floor. What is missing is an automatic TTL, so Phase 10 owns tiering and automatic TTL rather than retention from nothing. The rule-language recommendation is now settled rather than proposed, and not on its own authority: DesiredOverride is already a closed typed shape that cannot carry arbitrary code, so no channel exists that would deliver JavaScript to an agent even if the language argument had gone the other way. That surfaced a requirement nothing had written down. Agent management rests on an invariant it states outright -- every editable field degrades behaviour without cutting off the agent's ability to receive the next correction. Processing rules break it: a rule that panics or loops strands the agent exactly the way a corrupted ingest endpoint would, across every host it reached first. Phase 8 now owes either total evaluation or apply-then-verify with rollback, chosen deliberately rather than discovered mid-rollout. Signed-off-by: John Coffey <[email protected]>
