Roadmap

GridBash is developed in public, but the roadmap describes direction rather than a promise of dates. Shipped behavior is documented in the reference, and accepted work is tracked in GitHub Issues.

Shipped Foundation

• Real PTY-backed panes on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
• Focused, selected-pane, and grid-wide input routing.
• Agent and shell launch profiles.
• Repo-local git worktree isolation.
• Tabbed grids, resizing, zoom, session snapshots, and activity summaries.
• Voice input and an opt-in local agent control API.
• Optional local background pane hosts with saved-session reattachment.
• Cross-platform native artifacts for Windows x64, Linux x64/arm64, and macOS arm64/x64.
• Stable-release gates tracked in V1_ACCEPTANCE.md.

Current: Managed Agent Workspace

• Make commands and capabilities easier to discover.
• Improve per-pane activity, auth, and workload controls.
• Strengthen manager-driven implementation, review, test, and documentation loops.
• Improve first-run reliability and diagnostics across supported terminals.
• Turn early user feedback into small, testable workflow improvements.
• Grow a contributor path around scoped docs, tests, profiles, packaging, and TUI behavior.

Stable V1

• Meet the release gates in V1_ACCEPTANCE.md on every advertised platform.
• Keep CLI, config, session, and worktree behavior compatible and documented.
• Make release publication and installation dependable.
• Document default process ownership and optional background-terminal behavior clearly.

Background Hosts And Future Multi-Client Attach

• Harden the shipped single-client background pane hosts and saved-session reattachment path.
• Safe multi-client attachment.
• A consolidated per-user session daemon and durable terminal state boundaries.
• Agent status classifiers and a stable plugin API.
• The proposed boundaries are in DAEMON_ARCHITECTURE.md.

Later Exploration

• Remote and SSH workspaces.
• A stable plugin or extension boundary.
• Recording and shareable workflow artifacts.
• Optional browser-based monitoring where it improves, rather than replaces, the native terminal workflow.

Participate

Use Discussions for open-ended workflow and roadmap questions. Use help wanted and good first issue to find accepted work. Larger behavior changes should be discussed before implementation.
