Roadmap

Welcome to the official Canon Roadmap. Here we track the evolution of our Semantic Governance engine for engineering work.

Vision

The goal of Canon is to transform AI-assisted engineering activity into a process based on governed packets, irrefutable evidence, and a durable Project Memory.

Upcoming Features & Topics

Current 0.68.0

• Systematic Debugging Mode: Canon 0.72.6 introduces the systematic debugging mode, establishing a green-zone workflow with a five-phase verification gate (context, reproduction, root-cause, fix-decision, and verification) for tracking codebase incidents.

Recently Landed

• Assistant Surface Expansion: canon init now supports Cursor and Antigravity alongside the existing assistant targets, while repository-level assistant package metadata remains aligned with the current release.

Onboarding & Integrations

• External Publish & Backlog Destinations: Capturing operator choices for publishing packets and handoff destinations.
• MCP-Backed Credential References: Securely integrating with external systems like Atlassian-family tracking without persisting raw tokens in versioned state.
• Extended Init Integrations: Building on the shipped guided init flow to capture optional publish, backlog, or integration surfaces without weakening the non-interactive contract.

Core Philosophy

This roadmap remains intentionally sparse: a macrofeature only moves forward once its bounds, artifact contract, and validation story are explicit.
