Roadmap & Changelog
Relevant source files
The following files were used as context for generating this wiki page:
The Roadmap and Changelog system for flext-web provides a structured overview of the project's evolution, current state, and future direction. As part of the FLEXT platform, flext-web serves as the modern web interface, currently in an alpha development stage. The roadmap documentation is dynamically updated based on validation outputs, ensuring that technical milestones align with the codebase's actual state.
These documents are critical for maintaining the "alpha quality" standards, where every package in the workspace must be re-validated before promotion beyond the current version. This tracking ensures interface stability and architectural integrity as the project moves toward a stable release.

Current Release Status
The flext-web project is currently at version 0.12.0rc0 (alpha). This stage is characterized by unstable interfaces that require strict validation across the entire workspace. The project is classified as a platform class project, utilizing Python 3.13+.

Documentation Lifecycle and Automation
The Roadmap and Changelog are not static files; they are managed through the project's documentation lifecycle. The FLEXT infrastructure uses make targets to trigger documentation updates and validation phases.
The diagram shows how make docs serves as the catalyst for synchronizing codebase changes with the public-facing roadmap and changelog.
Documentation Generation Verbs
The flext-web system utilizes specific make verbs to manage the lifecycle of project status documents:
make gen: Used when exports or lazy initialization need regeneration.make docs: Specifically manages the generation and update ofCHANGELOG.mdthrough theDOCS_PHASE=generateparameter.make val: The full validation gate required before pushes, ensuring the roadmap reflects a passing build.

Project Roadmap
Roadmap updates are primarily driven by documentation validation outputs. While specific feature timelines are generated dynamically, the project follows a monorepo-wide progression strategy.
Development Workflow & Quality Gates
Before any roadmap milestone is considered reached, the project must pass through mandatory "Quality Gates." These gates ensure that the "Roadmap" is not just a plan but a verified state of the software.
The sequence illustrates the prerequisite of passing quality checks before documentation reflects progress.

Changelog Management
The CHANGELOG.md file tracks all functional changes, bug fixes, and architectural shifts. It is strictly managed by the make docs process and is intended to be the source of truth for version-over-version differences.
Managed Sections
The project's pyproject.toml identifies "MANAGED" sections that are enforced by flext_infra.deps.modernizer. Changes to these sections (such as dependency updates or build system shifts) are captured during the generation phase.
| Component | Responsibility |
|---|---|
[build-system] | Hatchling build backend configuration |
[tool.mypy] | Strict type safety enforcement (Zero Tolerance) |
[tool.coverage] | Test coverage tracking (Fail under 25% threshold) |
[tool.ruff] | Linting and formatting standards |

Roadmap Dependencies
Future roadmap items are heavily dependent on the integration of the following internal workspace components. The progress of flext-web is tied to the stability of these parent MRO (Method Resolution Order) chain libraries:
- flext-core: The foundation library.
- flext-api: FastAPI and HTTP client integration.
- flext-cli: Command-line interface support.
- flext-auth: Authentication services.

Conclusion
The Roadmap & Changelog system for flext-web serves as a bridge between active development and project governance. By automating the generation of these files through make targets and validation gates, the project ensures that documentation remains technically accurate and grounded in the actual capabilities of the alpha-quality codebase. This process is essential for the eventual promotion of the platform beyond its current alpha status.
