Fabriq Roadmap Update (2026-06): What Shipped, What Is In Flight
A transparent progress snapshot of Fabriq roadmap: shipped foundations, active workstreams, and the next milestones we are prioritizing.
This update is our current roadmap snapshot as of 2026-06-30.
We split status into three groups:
- shipped (already usable)
- in flight (partially landed or being integrated)
- next up (clear priority, not fully delivered)
1) Shipped Foundations
Workspace and navigation baseline
- launcher workflow for open/init workspace
- workspace shell with dashboard, repos, knowledge, features, timeline, settings
- runtime mode badge and diagnostics entry
Feature lifecycle baseline
- feature creation wizard with preflight checks
- feature list and feature workbench navigation
- stage transition pathway with gate semantics
- close wizard with promote selection
Knowledge and context baseline
- knowledge views (spec/assets/portal/pipeline tab structure)
- P3 to P5 context jump via envelope handoff
- promoted artifact visibility in timeline and close reporting surfaces
Guardrails and reliability baseline
- typed IPC handler topology across major domains
- action guard to disable unavailable operations before click
- recoverable error patterns for common failure paths
2) In-Flight Workstreams
Runtime-mode consistency
Current state:
- capability availability differs across stub/local/inline/subprocess modes
- some operations are intentionally constrained by mode
Focus:
- reduce behavioral drift across modes
- make capability reasoning user-visible and predictable
Validation and review closure depth
Current state:
- feature templates, gate checks, and review capability exist in services
- end-user orchestration is still being tightened for a smoother one-path experience
Focus:
- stronger validation-report + review-report integration with stage/close decisions
- less manual stitching between checks, reports, and final close action
Workbench execution coherence
Current state:
- workbench is functionally rich (edit/review/docs/checks)
- some advanced surfaces are available but not yet fully unified in one default path
Focus:
- simplify "what to do next" in each stage
- tighten coupling between cockpit guidance, outputs, and actionable buttons
3) Next Milestones
Milestone A: Consistent capability contract in daily workflows
- align high-frequency actions across runtime modes where feasible
- make degraded-mode behavior explicit, not surprising
Milestone B: Validation-driven feature completion
- make validation and review outputs first-class close prerequisites
- improve artifact quality standards at feature closure
Milestone C: Knowledge compounding loop
- improve quality and discoverability of promoted assets
- strengthen links from feature outputs back to workspace cognition
4) How We Prioritize
We prioritize by user loop impact, not by component novelty:
- Can a user finish the full loop with confidence?
- Is the result auditable and reusable by the next feature?
- Does this reduce irreversible mistakes in real projects?
If a change improves this loop, it moves up.
5) Closing
Fabriq is moving from "feature-rich desktop shell" toward "reliable engineering operating loop."
Our goal is not more buttons.
Our goal is fewer uncertain decisions, faster validated delivery, and better cumulative product knowledge after every feature.
