# Roadmap — version details Frequent releases. Each version is a usable artifact, not a checkpoint. This file holds the macro-plan (Macroplan block below) and the per-version scope. The user-facing requirements and engineering targets each release feeds into are tracked in [`qfd.md`](qfd.md). ## Status — synced 2026-07-11 The editor **core** has been built 2–3 versions ahead of the device **releases**, and is now **extracted into a host-testable `editor` crate** (plus a `display` crate for the panel framebuffer) so `cargo test` exercises it off the xtensa target. No release has shipped: with SD storage now verified and the mount/save path wired into the app binary, v0.1's remaining gate is the boot splash and wiring git publish into that binary — even though v0.2 navigation, **v0.2.5 international input (hardware-verified 2026-07-11)**, and most of v0.6 Markdown already run. Version numbers are unchanged — they track shippable device releases, not core progress. Marks: `[x]` done in core · `[~]` partially done · `[ ]` not started. An inline `(✓)` marks the done half of a split item. ## Macro-plan Macroplan source — paste into the macroplan app to render the week-by-week view. `original` dates are the June 2026 baseline and never move; slips get appended as `reestimates`, per-item actuals live in the Status block above. ```macroplan title = "Typoena — macro plan" [[feature]] name = "v0.1 it writes, it pushes" start = 2026-06-01 original = 2026-06-29 status = "at-risk" note = "Overdue — core editing, SD storage, and on-device git push all proven in spikes; SD mount + save now wired into main.rs.

Full design: [product](v0.1-mvp-product.md) · [technical](v0.1-mvp-technical.md). **Status:** core editing + partial refresh run on device, and **SD mount + save are now wired into `main.rs`** (Spike 3 resolved — a genuine ≤32 GB card mounts, verified on its own SPI3 host per ADR-012). Remaining v0.1 integration: the boot splash (Spike 9) and wiring git **publish** (`Ctrl-G` → push) into the app binary — the push still lives in the `git_sync` spike bin, not `main.rs`. - [~] ESP32-S3 boots (✓); e-ink shows Typoena splash + boot log — splash pending Spike 9 - [x] USB host enumerates the Nuphy, key events reach the editor (Spike 4) - [x] One hard-coded file (`/sd/repo/notes.md`) opens on boot — **wired in `main.rs`** (`boot_storage` mounts the SD and loads the note; a missing card / repo / unreadable note halts with a panel message). The card is pre-seeded from a computer (`just init` copies a full clone to `/sd/repo` + writes config), never cold-cloned on device — see [note](notes/git-sync-images-and-repo-size.md). - [x] Insert-only editing, backspace, enter, arrow keys — modal editor overshot this early (see v0.2) - [x] Line wrap, no line numbers yet — soft-wrap done early (see v0.6) - [x] Save to SD via `:w` (and `:sync`) — **wired in `main.rs`** through the `persistence` module's atomic write (unlink-then-rename + `*.tmp` boot-recovery) - [~] Wi-Fi credentials + remote URL + PAT + author: today baked into the binary via `env!()` (no NVS, no on-device provisioning UI in v0.1). Migrating to `/sd/typoena.conf` on the card, provisioned by `just provision` (or `just init` for a fresh card) from the same `firmware/.env` the build uses (minimum input — rotate the PAT or switch networks without a reflash, no card re-copy). Firmware to read it at boot instead of `env!()` — TODO, rides with the git-publish wiring into `main.rs`. - [~] `Ctrl-G` runs: `git add .` → commit with an ISO-8601 timestamp message → `git push`; on push failure, `git pull --no-edit` then retry the push (no-op short-circuit when nothing is staged). Proven on device in the `git_sync` spike (✓); not yet wired to the editor. - [x] Split the display into a **writing column** (60 cols) + a **side panel** (~30 cols at FONT_6X10) for metadata — the surface every later panel feature writes to. **Built** in the `editor` crate (`draw_panel`): a full-height divider at x=600, with the panel currently showing the word count, the mode indicator, a NO-KBD flag, and a transient save/publish **snackbar** (below). Later fields (filename, clock, Wi-Fi, battery) add to the same surface. Defined in [`CONTEXT.md` § Screen regions](../CONTEXT.md#screen-regions) and [product § Screen layout](v0.1-mvp-product.md#screen-layout). - [x] **Snackbar** — a transient side-panel notice for host events (added 2026-07-11). On-device there is no serial log, so boot posts `loaded ` (the note's filename without suffix) and `:w`/`:sync` post `saved` / `save FAILED - retry :w`; when git publish is wired it will show the push result. Set via `Editor::set_notice`; cleared on the next keystroke rather than a timer — a timed auto-dismiss would cost a ~630 ms full-area e-ink flash purely to erase text, which the panel deliberately avoids (cf. the dropped pending-accent marker in v0.2.5). - [~] Partial refresh on edits (✓ Spike 5); save now wired (full-area partial repaint on `:w`) Out of scope: Vim, palette, multiple files, branches, conflict handling. ## v0.2 — Vim navigation — [~] **Status:** navigation done in core; the **UTF-8-correct buffer landed 2026-07-11** (hardware-verified). Remaining = `Ctrl-d/u` and the line-number gutter. Shipped early beyond scope: a read-only **View** mode and the full `d`/`c` operator + text-object grammar (see v0.3 / v0.4). - [x] Mode state machine (Normal / Insert / View), mode indicator in the status strip - [~] Movement: `h j k l`, `w b e`, `0 $`, `gg G` (✓); `Ctrl-d Ctrl-u` remain - [x] `i a o O A` to enter Insert - [x] `Esc` returns to Normal - [ ] Line numbers in the left gutter: relative in Normal mode (current line shown as its absolute number), absolute in Insert mode — Spike 13 first - [x] Groundwork — UTF-8-correct buffer: caret motions and edits step by character, not byte (dropped the ASCII == byte-offset assumption), so every motion stays correct with accented input. **Done 2026-07-11** alongside extracting the editor into a host-testable crate — char-step motions/deletes, byte-vs-char split in `layout`/`caret_rc`, `word_end`/`de` fixed; 15 host tests. Render font is ISO-8859-15 (Latin-9), so accented glyphs display. ## v0.2.5 — International input — [x] **Status:** DONE in core, **hardware-verified 2026-07-11** (typed ç é è ñ on the bench, no crash). US-International dead-key accent composition lives in the `keymap` crate — a `Composer` downstream of the decoder — wired into `usb_kbd.rs` so the editor still receives a single `Key::Char`. Builds on the v0.2 UTF-8-correct buffer and the ISO-8859-15 render font. Host-tested. - [x] Dead keys — grave, acute, circumflex, diaeresis, tilde — compose with the next letter: à é ê ë ñ, ç (via `'`+c), both cases - [x] `'`+space emits a literal apostrophe (the everyday apostrophe path); a dead key followed by a non-composing letter emits the accent then the letter - [x] A non-character event (Enter, Backspace, arrows) flushes any pending accent as its literal first - [ ] ~~Pending-accent indicator in the side-panel status strip~~ — **DROPPED (2026-07-11 decision):** at typing speed it would be stale before the ~630 ms panel repaint, so it conveys nothing. Left unbuilt on purpose. - [x] Bonus (2026-07-11): the physical **Esc key** (HID 0x29) now types `` ` ``/`~` — Esc comes from the Caps tap — so grave/tilde accents and Markdown code fences are reachable on a 60% board without a Fn layer. ## v0.3 — Vim editing — [~] **Status:** deletes and counts done; **yank/paste, undo/redo, and `.` repeat remain** — there is no register or recorded-op mechanism yet. The `d`/`c` operator grammar and text objects landed here ahead of schedule (the roadmap had scheduled only `dd`/`dw`/`d$`). - [~] `x dd`, `dw dd d$` (✓); `yy p P` and repeat with `.` remain (need a register / recorded op) - [ ] Undo / redo (`u`, `Ctrl-r`) — bounded history in PSRAM - [x] Numeric prefixes (`3dd`, `5j`) - [x] Ahead of schedule: `c` change operator + text objects (`ciw`, `di(`, `ca"`, … — inner/around, nesting-aware) ## v0.4 — Visual mode + ex commands — [~] **Status:** the `:` command-line mechanism is built (Command mode + status-strip echo), but only `:fmt` exists — `:w :q :wq :e` remain. Visual mode is not started. **DECISION (2026-07-07):** `v`/`V` = **Visual** selection (vim-standard). The read-only **View** (reading/scroll) mode currently bound to `v`/`V` moves off those keys and gets its own trigger (exact key TBD when Visual lands). View mode stays — it just frees `v`/`V` for Visual. - [ ] Visual char (`v`) and line (`V`) modes, `y d c` on selections - [~] `:` command line: `:w :q :wq :e ` (mechanism ✓; these commands remain) - [x] Ahead of schedule / unscheduled: `:fmt` Markdown formatter (table alignment, blank-line collapse, trailing-whitespace strip) ## v0.5 — File palette + multi-file — [ ] **Status:** not started (Spikes 11 + 14 retire the panel-mechanism and buffer-lifecycle risk first). - [ ] `Ctrl-P` opens fuzzy file palette over **both** `/sd/repo/` and `/sd/local/`, with a scope marker (e.g. `[git]` / `[local]`) per result - [ ] Open, switch, close buffers (keep ≤ 3 in memory) - [ ] `:e` and palette share the same recent-files list - [ ] `:enew` creates a new file — prompts for scope (tracked vs local) - [ ] Delete a file — removes it from the SD card; for a Tracked file the removal reaches the next `Ctrl-G` Publish's staged set (`git rm` / `add -A` semantics, not plain `git add .`); a Local file is just unlinked - [ ] `Ctrl-G` is disabled / hidden when the current buffer is local-scope - [ ] The side panel briefly shows file count on `Ctrl-G` when the publish bundles more than one dirty Tracked file (e.g. `"publishing 3 files: abc1234"`), so workspace-scoped behaviour stays visible to the user ## v0.6 — Markdown affordances — [~] **Status:** render affordances done early; the 80-col ruler and the snippet engine remain (snippets are net-new scope, added 2026-07-08). - [x] Heading lines bolded in render (faux-bold double-strike) - [x] List continuation on Enter inside `- ` / `1. ` (with empty-item exit) - [x] Soft-wrap at word boundaries - [ ] Optional column ruler at 80 - [ ] **Snippets** — trigger-driven text expansion for Markdown authoring (Zed-inspired, but no completion popup: e-ink's ~630 ms refresh rules out a live filtering menu, and it fights the distraction-free premise). Shape, mirroring the existing `list_marker` insert-transform: - [ ] Tab in Insert mode triggers expansion: if the word immediately before the caret matches a snippet prefix, expand it; otherwise insert spaces as today (`expand_snippet(word) -> Option<(body, stops)>`, alongside `list_marker`). - [ ] A snippet body is literal text plus numbered empty tab stops `$1 … $n` and a final `$0`. There is no placeholder text (`${1:label}`) — the editor has no selection/overtype model, so a placeholder would just be text to delete. There are no dynamic or computed values either (e.g. no `date` — there's no RTC; the wall clock is valid only after Wi-Fi+SNTP, so it'd stamp 1970 on a cold boot). - [ ] After expansion the caret lands on `$1`; Tab advances to the next stop, forward only (no Shift-Tab). Stored stop offsets shift with edits at the caret (all pending stops are always after it). The session auto-aborts on Esc, a mode change, or a motion that leaves the stops. - [ ] On a typing pause (same throttle as the insert cursor / word-count refresh — the panel never repaints per keystroke), if the word before the caret is a snippet prefix, the side panel shows the hint (the target expansion). Quiet while typing; the hint appears on pause. - [ ] The snippet table is hard-coded in the binary to start; a git-syncable file on SD (`/sd/repo/.snippets`) is a later option, deferred while SD is still blocked. - [ ] Starter set: link `[$1]($2)$0`, image `![$1]($2)$0`, fenced code block, etc. ## v0.7 — Search + better git — [ ] **Status:** not started. - [ ] `/` forward search, `n N` - [ ] `:Gpull` (fetch + fast-forward only; refuse on conflict and surface it) ## v0.8 — Power: battery + sleep — [ ] - [ ] Measure idle / typing / push current draw on bench - [ ] 18650 + IP5306 charge board, soft power switch - [ ] Light sleep on idle > 30 s (keyboard interrupt wakes) - [ ] Deep sleep on lid close (reed switch); restore cursor + buffer - [ ] Battery indicator in the side panel ## v0.9 — Robustness — [ ] - [ ] Crash-safe writes (write to `.tmp`, fsync, rename) - [ ] Recover from interrupted push (re-attempt on next save) - [ ] SD card removal / reinsert handling - [ ] Wi-Fi reconnect with backoff - [ ] On-device provisioning + settings screen: SSID, PAT rotation, default remote, commit author (replaces the v0.1 dev-only NVS-flashing path — first release usable by someone who is not the firmware author) ## v1.0 — Polish — [ ] - [ ] Boot time ≤ 3 s to usable cursor - [ ] Font selection (at least one serif + one mono) with adjustable font size, switchable at runtime and persisted across reboots - [ ] Theme: light / dark (inverted e-ink), switchable at runtime and persisted across reboots - [ ] Enclosure design files in `hardware/` - [ ] User guide ## v1.x — Stretch / nice-to-have - 10.3" panel upgrade via IT8951 - Multiple remotes / repos - Stats: words today, streak - BLE-HID fallback for wireless keyboards
