Current status — October 2, 2026: V2 is live from main after John’s explicit production authorization. Search, launch article, AI disclosure, social metadata, and dual-configuration CI are delivered. V2 launch is the current release record. Earlier milestones and production holds below are historical. Next: share the launch, deeper implementation post, physical Fold6 review, and prioritize remaining operations/toolbar/appearance/dependency work from the backlog.

Roadmap

Last updated: October 1, 2026. This is a sequence of work, not a committed delivery schedule. No target dates have been agreed. Issue status is authoritative for individual tasks.

Current milestone and next sequence — October 1, 2026

Home, professional Work, Writing/Blog, About, Coding/Projects, and Talks/Media are integrated into v2. The approved résumé storytelling enhancement is now also integrated through PR #40, merge 7b04338ababbfae33ed22cf80f223b7f4fa0811f. Staging follows v2 again. Education is a dedicated section with equivalent heading weight, an official UCF stacked black mark, University of Central Florida, Class of 2008, Bachelor of Arts in English and Technical Writing Track; committed at 4bd9d60ebe07493902e3ac1b5e01faca1f9bfbc3 following John’s request to give the degree appropriate prominence. Earlier revision/deployment records below are historical. Résumé review · Current requirements and evidence.

Résumé enhancement is complete for the approved scope: stronger sourced accomplishments, work/tool badges, industry/team cues, expandable earlier experience and details, three views, and four URL-persistent filter facets. Feature CI/deployment and deployed desktop interaction checks passed. Mobile implementation is present; physical Fold6 visual confirmation remains a release check.

About #36 remains completed after John's final sports and comedy revisions. Recent page branch histories and the approved README are reconciled.

Coding/Projects and the recovered Talks/Media archive are complete in PR #42, merge 149dc742e3b3868f5b02e8b7cb48b0975b6d39b2. The archive contains 16 speaking/slide records and seven media records; sources, unavailable recordings, provenance, and validation are documented in Coding Projects and Speaking Archive. Integrated staging publication is verified in run 36960257238; live build-info.json matches v2 commit 149dc742e3b3868f5b02e8b7cb48b0975b6d39b2.

1. Proper site-wide search (#26).
2. Toolbar design dive (#38), preserving existing functionality while refining hierarchy and responsive fit.
3. Final content, links, accessibility, mobile/Fold6, metadata, operations and release/rollback checks, then separately approved production promotion.

No launch date is committed. Older dated queue recommendations below are history; this sequence is current.

Timeline

When / phase	Outcome	Dependency / exit criteria
September 30, 2026 — direction recorded	Initial homepage direction and v2 requirements documented	See V2 requirements; broader design decisions remain open
Before v2 implementation — delivery foundation	Isolated staging and review workflow	#25 validated; coordinate CI/release strategy in #21
October 1, 2026 — page integration	Home, Work, Writing/Blog and About live on staging	Recent branches integrated; safe builds and live revision verified; further device/content review remains
After prototype review — remaining v2 scope	Writing, Work, About, supporting pages, and content migration	John reviews prototype; resolve platform, visual system, content selection, and remaining layouts
Before launch — verification	Release-ready site and recovery instructions	Accessibility, links, responsive behavior, metadata, redirects, analytics, monitoring, deployment and rollback checked
After launch — ongoing development	Maintain the site and publish useful resources and project lessons	Prioritize from the live backlog and record outcomes in the journal

First implementation milestone: V2 — Responsive homepage prototype. This is distinct from the full v2 launch. See V2 requirements for scope; no deadline is specified.

Design exploration can continue while staging is established. The staging prerequisite applies to implementation, not further design discussion.

Workstreams and dependencies

• #22 — Version 2 delivery: overall delivery scope.
• #23 — Design exploration: broader visual and interaction decisions.
• #21 — Deployment, release, and CI: delivery process, coordinated with #20 — branch rename.
• #25 — Staging: prerequisite for implementation.
• #19 — Link validation and #24 — analytics and monitoring: quality and operational readiness.
• #26 — Search and #27 — resume downloads: supporting v2 capabilities.

Use the live backlog for current task status. Update this roadmap when sequence, dependencies, scope, or agreed dates change.

Professional page progress and next queue — October 1, 2026

The professional work history prototype is implemented, reviewed and approved by John, and committed on professional-overview-preview at fc60f9beea5de8281e632151eb57d5536e2d0ae9. #35 now tracks integration and validation rather than initial development. Preserve newer homepage/featured-content changes from PR #33 when integrating this older-base branch. Canonical CI, full browser/Fold6 checks and staging verification remain pending; production publication is separate.

Recommended next page: Writing index + simple article reading template, followed by About and then dedicated project/talk pages. Search #26 remains deferred, Dark/Darker #34 remains separate, and operations #24/#29–#32 retain their existing sequence. No new deadlines are committed. See the approved professional page requirements.
