This page summarizes ROADMAP.md, CHANGELOG.md, FEATURES.md, and MIGRATION_SUMMARY.md so stakeholders can track progress across all repositories.

• Version: v1.0.0 (Phase 5 – Production Ready).
• Focus: Hardening, plugin ecosystem expansion, template/catalog migration, and prep for Phase 6 (VNC independence via TigerVNC + noVNC).
• Recent Docs: MIGRATION_SUMMARY.md and TEMPLATE_MIGRATION_GUIDE.md describe how templates/plugins moved to dedicated repos currently mirrored in this wiki.

1. Phase 1 – Foundation: Session/template CRDs, controller, PVC automation, metrics, CI/CD. ✅ Completed.
2. Phase 2 – Core Platform: API backend (70+ handlers), React UI (50+ components), hibernation system. ✅ Completed.
3. Phase 3 – Advanced Features: Plugin system, repository sync, collaboration, operational dashboards. ✅ Completed.
4. Phase 4 – Enterprise: Compliance dashboards, RBAC enhancements, quotas, DLP, admin console tooling. ✅ Completed.
5. Phase 5 – Production Readiness: Security hardening, audit logging, monitoring, documentation cleanup. ✅ Completed.
6. Phase 6 – VNC Independence: Replace LinuxServer.io + KasmVNC images with native TigerVNC/noVNC stack, improve media pipeline, update templates. 🚧 Planned.

• Template Image Refresh: Build StreamSpace-maintained images for browsers, IDEs, and desktops (tracked in docs/VNC_MIGRATION.md).
• Automation: CLI parity for template/plugin management, more integration tests, GitOps workflows.
• Managed SaaS: Launch StreamSpace Cloud with automatic upgrades, backups, 24/7 support (see README teaser).
• Observability Enhancements: Additional Prometheus metrics, Grafana dashboards, alert bundles.

• v0.2.0: Added external repository archives, migration of templates/plugins to their own repos, documentation overhaul, and security/auth cleanup.
• Use semantic versioning with Conventional Commits; each release includes controller, API, and UI image tags plus Helm chart updates.
• Tagging Strategy: git describe powers build metadata; Docker images tagged with vX.Y.Z, Git tag, and latest.

• Link PRs/issues to roadmap items and phases.
• Document breaking changes or required operator actions in the release section of PR descriptions and update this page accordingly.
• For migrations affecting plugins/templates, also update streamspace-plugins or streamspace-templates README plus cross-reference here.
