🟢 Already Shipped (Foundation)

Pipeline (parallel orchestrate)

• ✅ 6-stage chain: SA → [Architect ∥ QA-TDD] → DEV → [QA-Verify ∥ OPS] → Reviewer
• ✅ Direct LLM call (skip broken tool-loop)
• ✅ Marker-extraction → real code blocks → real files in cwd
• ✅ Auto-commit + git push on APPROVE
• ✅ 12-rung LLM ladder (Cerebras / Groq / Gemini × 2 / Samba / GH Models / Chutes / OR × 2 / HF Router × 4)

Data + Knowledge

• ✅ 26 public datasets covering all SDLC domains
• ✅ Training-pair feedback loop (every stage → ~/.surrogate/training-pairs.jsonl → HF dataset every 3 min)
• ✅ Web research preamble (DDG search → context for PRD/orchestrate)
• ✅ Agentic crawler (URL frontier + visited stamps + BFS link discovery, 6 workers)
• ✅ Skill synthesis daemon (3-min cycles → ~/.surrogate/skills/{cat}/SKILL.md)
• ✅ Continuous scrape (8 workers, 5-30s cool-down)

Models (Ollama on HF)

🔴 Must-Have (next 30 days)

Reliability + Observability

1. ⏳ Heartbeat alarm → Discord webhook if HF Space down >5 min
2. ⏳ Auto-retry on transient errors (provider 429/503 → wait + retry next rung)
3. ⏳ Cost meter per stage (tokens × $/1M, alert >$1/day)
4. ⏳ Regression test suite (run nightly: orchestrate test fixtures, expect APPROVE)
5. ⏳ Dataset upload deduplication (md5 of slice → skip if same as last)
6. ⏳ Token-pool health check (rotate to next when 429)
7. ⏳ Disk usage alert (>80% /data → cleanup oldest scrape state)
8. ⏳ Memory leak watchdog (kill daemon RSS >1.5GB, restart)
9. ⏳ Crash recovery (auto-resume cron loop on SIGCHLD)
10. ⏳ Snapshot scrape ledger to HF dataset weekly

PRD + Project bootstrap

11. ⏳ Claude Projects-style PRD wizard (single description input → auto-extract → 1-3 follow-ups → PRD)
12. ⏳ PRD template library (web app / API / CLI / mobile / data pipeline / ML)
13. ⏳ Auto-detect existing repo → reverse-engineer surrogate.md
14. ⏳ PRD versioning (v1, v2 with diff)
15. ⏳ "Spec mode" — refine PRD interactively before any code

Pipeline quality

16. ⏳ Self-critique loop (after dev: model A reviews model B output → re-dev if NEEDS-WORK)
17. ⏳ Regression test on touched files (re-run existing tests)
18. ⏳ Lint + type-check + security scan in pipeline (ruff, mypy, semgrep)
19. ⏳ Diff approval UI (show changes before commit, esp. yolo mode)
20. ⏳ Search-replace block edits (Aider-style, less risky than full rewrite)

Domain expert routing

21. ⏳ Auto-route DEV stage to specialist (frontend/backend/mobile/iac) based on task keywords
22. ⏳ Multi-specialist parallel work (e.g., backend API + frontend UI in same task → spawn both)
23. ⏳ Specialist-specific eval (frontend agent → check WCAG; backend → check N+1)

Memory + Context

24. ⏳ Episodic memory (last 50 sessions retrieval for similar tasks)
25. ⏳ Procedural memory (how-to library auto-generated from successful runs)
26. ⏳ Project context cache (surrogate.md + repo-map persisted across sessions)
27. ⏳ Cross-project pattern share (skill from project A → applicable to project B)
28. ⏳ Long-term retention (key decisions → ADR auto-generation)

Self-improvement loop

29. ⏳ Reflexion lessons → injected into next-similar-task prompt
30. ⏳ Failed orchestrate → root-cause analysis → improvement queue
31. ⏳ Weekly LoRA fine-tune trigger (on accumulated training pairs, autotrain)
32. ⏳ A/B test prompts (variant A vs B, pick winner by APPROVE rate)
33. ⏳ Voyager-style skill crystallization (pattern repeated 3+ times → permanent skill)

Datasets + Training

34. ⏳ SRE postmortem corpus (scrape danluu/post-mortems → ~600 incident → instruction-pair)
35. ⏳ AWS Well-Architected synthetic Q/A (PDFs → distilabel pipeline → 5k pairs)
36. ⏳ Internal axentx code → instruction pairs (commit messages + diffs)
37. ⏳ Training pair quality scoring (filter low-quality before HF upload)
38. ⏳ DPO preference pairs from reviewer (chosen/rejected from REWORK cycles)
39. ⏳ Synthetic ADR generation (real OSS examples → expand via distilabel)

Tools + Integrations

40. ⏳ MCP client support (Claude Desktop schema — connect external tools)
41. ⏳ ToolSearch lazy-load (don't blow context on full tool list)
42. ⏳ Constitutional Critic from ~/.surrogate/agents/roster.json (auto-load)
43. ⏳ Repo-map context (tree-sitter symbol graph → smarter file selection)
44. ⏳ Tool-call traces saved as training data (every tool use → pair)

Security + Safety

45. ⏳ Secret-scan pre-commit hook (gitleaks integration)
46. ⏳ Rate limit per-IP (HF Space /chat endpoint)
47. ⏳ Allowlist/denylist for git push (don't push to main without flag)
48. ⏳ PII scrubber for training pairs (remove emails, IPs, names before upload)
49. ⏳ Sandbox tool execution (no rm -rf, no curl |sh, no destructive ops)
50. ⏳ Audit log for every orchestrate run (who/what/when/result)

Multi-modal + I/O

51. ⏳ Voice input (Whisper transcribe → surrogate)
52. ⏳ Image input (architectural diagrams → analysis)
53. ⏳ Screen recording → video → tutorial agent
54. ⏳ Discord voice channel (TTS responses)

CLI UX

55. ⏳ /resume (continue past session)
56. ⏳ /diff (show pending changes before commit)
57. ⏳ /undo (rollback last orchestrate via git stash)
58. ⏳ /share (publish session as gist for review)
59. ⏳ Tab autocomplete for slash commands
60. ⏳ Cost-meter live in statusline (running $ this session)

Cloud / multi-region

61. ⏳ Mirror to Cloudflare Workers AI (free tier backup)
62. ⏳ Egress whitelist for Discord on HF Pro tier
63. ⏳ HF Space upgrade auto-scale (when load > 80%)
64. ⏳ Backup strategy: weekly snapshot of /data → HF dataset

Codebase intelligence

65. ⏳ Symbol search (tree-sitter index, not just text grep)
66. ⏳ Cross-file refactor (rename across project safely)
67. ⏳ Type-aware code completion (LSP integration)
68. ⏳ Dead code detection (vulture, ts-prune)
69. ⏳ Dependency graph viz (per-project)

Training data flywheel

70. ⏳ Trace storage on HF (axentx/surrogate-1-traces dataset)
71. ⏳ Auto-tag training pairs by domain (frontend/backend/etc)
72. ⏳ Quality gate before training pair upload (≥ N tokens, well-formed)
73. ⏳ Weekly eval on SWE-bench-Lite (track improvement)
74. ⏳ DPO data generation (REWORK cycles → preference pairs)

Discord + notifications

75. ⏳ Discord webhook for every commit (axentx repo notifications)
76. ⏳ Daily digest webhook (commits + pairs + scrape stats)
