Roadmap
Where Liminal is today and what comes next. Dates are directional, not commitments — we ship fast on main.
Current stage: beta (v0.1.2 public preview, June 2026). RC and install GA are planned, not shipped yet.
Now — Beta (v0.1.2)
What you can run today from Install:
| Area | Status |
|---|---|
| ReAct harness | Retries, circuit breaker, compression, approvals, optional self-heal lint |
| Interfaces | Desktop (Windows / macOS / Linux, Flutter + sidecar) + Web UI (Express + React + SSE, multi-chat) + Terminal UI (Ink) |
| Tools | 500+ catalog tools (300+ with MCP sidecars); lazy family loading — files, shell, git, web, browser, memory, vault, documents, orchestration, Google/Microsoft/Azure/GitHub/Slack/Linear/Notion/Xero/YouTube connectors, OpenAPI/MCP attach |
| Inference | BYOK (any OpenAI-compatible provider) or Pro managed via Vireon proxy — liminal login, AGENT_INFERENCE_MODE |
| Provider routing | Price-sorted OpenRouter resellers, Kimchi/Cast AI, sticky sessions, 429-aware rotation (AGENT_PROVIDER_STRATEGY) |
| Licensing | Open-core CE (FSL-1.1-MIT, no account) + offline Ed25519 tiers; EE auto-install on Pro login |
| Workflows | plan_workflow / run_workflow — multi-phase parallel sub-agents, out-of-context store |
| Persona | Bootstrap, soul slices, UI themes (web shells) |
| Storage | User-global ~/.liminal/ + per-chat workspaces (AGENT_STORAGE_LAYOUT) |
| Memory | Typed notes, hybrid recall, curator + soft-delete archive, federation, recipe library, optional auto-dream |
| Research | Per-send research ledger + research_state tool (web search/fetch discipline) |
| Audio / voice | transcribe_audio, TTS (speak), web dictation, voice-mode tool gating |
| Install | Hosted one-command scripts + liminal CLI + desktop installers |
| Quality gates | CI on main (build, typecheck, core tests); eval sandbox framework (npm run eval:sandbox) |
| Settings | Full AGENT_* catalog in web UI + managed inference model picker on desktop |
| Docs | Self-contained portal at docs.vireondynamics.com/liminal/ |
See Changelog for version-by-version notes.
Alpha history (v0.0.1–v0.0.26)
Rapid iteration on main through June 2026 — desktop design system, hosted OAuth connectors, compose dock, Azure ARM, Kimchi provider, and work-integration tooling. Summarized in the changelog.
Beta — ongoing stability work
Goal: fewer surprises on upgrade; eval suite gates regressions before we call the next milestone RC.
| Focus | Target |
|---|---|
| Harness stability | Flake reduction across core + tools eval packs |
| Defaults freeze | Typed HARNESS_ENV_DEFAULTS treated as a compatibility surface |
| Install hardening | liminal doctor, wizard edge cases, clearer failure messages |
| Docs | Operator path complete (install → configure → troubleshoot) |
| Breaking changes | Called out in changelog; migration notes where needed |
| CI expansion | Tools, sidecar, eval sandbox smoke in CI |
Not in beta scope: npm global package, Docker images, or full install GA — those stay on the post-RC track.
Release candidate (RC)
Goal: ship checklist passed; docs and env reference frozen for the release tag.
| Focus | Target |
|---|---|
| Release checklist | Build, typecheck, eval, manual TUI/web/desktop smoke |
| Docs freeze | Generated env reference + operator guides match the tag |
| Security pass | Approval paths, secret handling, default safety posture reviewed |
| Performance | Known hot paths documented (web_fetch walls, context compression) |
Install GA (post-RC)
Goal: hosted installers and CLI promoted from “public preview” to a supported GA onboarding channel.
| Focus | Target |
|---|---|
| Upgrade story | liminal update + documented migration from preview installs |
| Eval bar | Scenario packs green on the release branch |
| Packaging | Explore bundled liminald (no external Node dependency) |
Still local-first and FSL-1.1-MIT (fair source; converts to MIT after two years per release).
Exploring (no dates)
Ideas under investigation or early scaffolding — not promised for a specific release:
| Theme | Notes |
|---|---|
| Team & sync | Shared persona profiles, team vault patterns — see pricing waitlist |
| Packaging | Docker, systemd/launchd, npm global — explicitly not in current install v1 |
| Enterprise | Air-gapped guidance, SSO help, custom tools — contact |
