High-Level Framework Roadmap (MVP)
Objective: To build the "Agalmic Wrapper"—a platform for agency that manages a permanent public utility for competitive play. The MVP focuses on the "Universal Room Orchestrator"—an infrastructure framework designed for agentic automation—starting with a functional vanilla chess client as the first demonstrated plugin.
Track 1: The Sovereignty Layer (Identity & Consensus)
Identity & Access Microservice
Implementation of a lightweight, sovereign-compatible subscription-auth gateway (utilizing Supabase/GoTrue) to verify "One Member, One Vote" integrity.
The Governance Terminal
A streamlined interface for subscribers to submit formal proposals, participate in consensus, and view results. This serves as the primary "Intent Intake" for the Agalmic Engine.
Initial Consensus Mechanism
Selection of a baseline feedback model (e.g., Ranked Choice or Priority Stacking) to translate community desire into actionable technical mandates.
Track 2: The Agalmic Engine (Infrastructure & Orchestration)
Declarative "Agent-Readable" Foundation
Establishment of the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) framework. The entire environment—servers, databases, and network—is defined in a programmatic format that AI agents can "read" and "reason" about.
The Universal Room Orchestrator
Backend design to manage games as generic black-box state machines. The Engine handles admission, sequencing, and broadcasting, allowing it to host any game "spoke" that follows the Agalmic Spoke Protocol.
Model-Driven Ops & Observability
Implementation of the telemetry stack (metrics, logs, and traces). This provides the "eyes" for AI site reliability agents to perform autonomous maintenance, scaling, and performance optimization.
Track 3: The First Spoke (Vanilla Chess & Verification)
Generic Spoke Implementation
Construction of a web-based chess client that operates as a plugin for the Universal Room Orchestrator. This demonstrates the separation of the "Game Content" from the "Utility Infrastructure."
Automated Verification Pipeline
Launching the "Intent-to-Deployment" loop where every update is automatically tested against high-fidelity experience models and infrastructure safety guardrails.
Flywheel Initiation
Using the Chess client to test the full lifecycle:
User Feedback → AI-Driven Refinement → Infrastructure Verification → Automated Deployment
Track 4: The Next Horizon Mandate
Strategic Nomination Window
A formal period where subscribers pitch the next game genre or "Spoke" for the studio to focus on, utilizing the Governance Terminal.
Technical & Impact Deliberation
Using the Engine to generate "Impact Forecasts" and technical feasibility assessments for the top-ranked nominations.
The Final Ballot
Executing a formal vote to lock in the next Spoke for the Agalmic Engine to prototype and deploy.
This roadmap describes the MVP path for bringing the Agalmic Studios Manifesto to life. For the technical philosophy behind the Agalmic Engine, see the Technical Prospectus.
