Roadmap

This document owns future work. The implemented baseline is summarized in current_state.md; completed narratives and evidence belong in reviews and CHANGELOG.md.

Product boundary

Trainlog Core owns business truth and canonical desktop persistence.
The TUI administers, inspects, maintains, and imports/exports.
The local Web analyzes, visualizes, and prepares programs/sessions.
Android executes in the field, captures actual work/feedback, and returns data.

Future work must preserve the frozen Trainlog JSON V1 contract, stable identities, actual-versus-planned separation, direct MTP transport, and the distinction between measured values and estimates.

Current baseline

Desktop schema v18, Android schema v17, Notcurses, direct Documents/Trainlog storage, mobile export V3, Training Knowledge V1, Body Zones V1, Training Feedback V1/V2, STATS V1, and Session Generator V1 are implemented. Session Generator V1 is hidden pending V2. AI session-draft exchange and APP_SHELL_V1 retain their explicit manual validation/review gates. TRAINLOG_WEB_V1=CONTRACT_FROZEN / IMPLEMENTATION_STARTED; its local-only CLI/HTTP infrastructure, embedded frontend shell and the frozen Dashboard data contract, frozen interactive grid and versioned layout persistence exist. Final tile rendering remains a future slice.

Current cursor

CURRENT_OPERATIONAL_CURSOR=WEB_DASHBOARD_TILES_V1

WEB_FRONTEND_SHELL_V1=PASS/FROZEN. trainlog -w serves the embedded React, TypeScript and Vite shell with its five client routes, Catppuccin Mocha design system, permanent Header/Footer, empty-data states and health status. The next Dashboard tranche is partitioned below; this cursor does not authorize an undifferentiated implementation of every Dashboard concern. WEB_DASHBOARD_GRID_V1=PASS/FROZEN adds the validated 12-column desktop grid, explicit edit mode, drag/resize, keyboard alternative and derived responsive projections without persisting layout state. WEB_DASHBOARD_LAYOUT_V1=PASS/FROZEN persists only that canonical desktop layout with atomic XDG storage, optimistic revisions and protected HTTP mutations; responsive projections remain derived.

TRAINLOG_WEB_V1 implementation gate

Implementation order is fixed as:

WEB_DASHBOARD_CHARACTERIZATION_V1
        -> WEB_DASHBOARD_CORE_READ_MODEL_V1 [PASS/FROZEN]
        -> WEB_TUI_READ_MODEL_ADOPTION_V1 [PASS/FROZEN]
        -> WEB_CLI_HTTP_INFRASTRUCTURE_V1 [PASS/FROZEN]
        -> WEB_FRONTEND_SHELL_V1 [PASS/FROZEN]
        -> WEB_DASHBOARD_V1

The Web must not start with React. Characterization proves current behavior; Core extraction establishes one business implementation; TUI adoption proves reuse; only then may trainlog -w, the loopback HTTP adapter, embedded assets, and browser UI be introduced. Initial API delivery is read-only. Later program and session writes require explicit transactional Core command services.

TRAINLOG_WEB_V1 preserves /api/v1/ as an independently versioned boundary, the 127.0.0.1:8080 default, explicit --port, no silent port fallback, a single serialized Core/SQLite owner, build-only Node/npm, and no change to business SQLite or frozen exchange formats. Dashboard Activité and Progression semantics are now frozen by WEB_DASHBOARD_DATA_CONTRACT_V1; future rendering must consume them without reconstructing or redefining their mathematics.

WEB_DASHBOARD_V1 advances through independently reviewable slices:

WEB_DASHBOARD_DATA_CONTRACT_V1 [PASS/FROZEN]
        -> WEB_DASHBOARD_GRID_V1 [PASS/FROZEN]
        -> WEB_DASHBOARD_LAYOUT_V1 [PASS/FROZEN]
        -> real-data tile delivery
        -> real-data visualization delivery

The slice order may be refined by the next contract, but it must preserve the existing Core ownership, keep visual layout outside business SQLite and frozen formats, and specify Activité/Progression before implementing those metrics.

Gym catalog V1

Build an inventory from the equipment actually available in the user's gym. Keep physical equipment, exercises, movement patterns, muscles, and BODY ZONES distinct. One photographed machine may support several exercises. Record model or manufacturer only when evidence identifies it.

Exercise metadata V1

After the gym inventory is normalized, design any remaining structured metadata such as movement family and laterality. Reuse existing equipment and BODY ZONES identities; do not encode semantics in display names or notes.

Session Generator V2

Replace the hidden V1 product surface with duration-aware construction that can represent warm-up, ramp-up, main work, cool-down, transitions, setup time, and candidate scarcity without claiming unsupported physiological precision.

Session templates V1

Offer editable conveniences built on the real catalogue and planning model. Templates are not rigid prescriptions and never become performed work before normal capture.

Later

evolve training analytics only where sufficient real history supports the metric, without aggregating incomparable loads;
add body baseline and trend comparisons while keeping direct measurements distinct from estimates;
add conservative, editable progression suggestions with correct external-load and assistance interpretation;
support explicit user objectives without mandatory gamification;
add user-controlled dated backup and complete/period-limited exports.

Canonical order

WEB_DASHBOARD_CHARACTERIZATION_V1
        -> WEB_DASHBOARD_CORE_READ_MODEL_V1
        -> WEB_TUI_READ_MODEL_ADOPTION_V1
        -> TRAINLOG_WEB_V1
        -> REAL_DATA_BASELINE_V1
        -> GYM_CATALOG_V1
        -> EXERCISE_METADATA_V1
        -> SESSION_GENERATOR_V2
        -> SESSION_TEMPLATES_V1
        -> ANALYTICS_EVOLUTION
        -> BODY_ANALYTICS_V2
        -> PROGRESSION_ASSIST_V1
        -> OBJECTIVES_V1
        -> BACKUP_EXPORT_V1

Outstanding validation gates

APP_SHELL_V1=IMPLEMENTED_AWAITING_VISUAL_REVIEW_2: complete the recorded human visual/accessibility matrix without redefining product semantics.
TRAINLOG_AI_SESSION_DRAFT_V1=VALIDATION_PENDING: complete one real Drive plus Android-triggered bidirectional synchronization smoke test.

Permanent constraints

Do not regress to SQLite-file synchronization, a mandatory mounted Android filesystem, exercise-name identity heuristics, fake sets for continuous work, synthetic uniform actuals, ordinary training promoted to measured MAX, assistance interpreted as external load, or estimates presented as direct measurements. Incompatible exchange semantics require a new version. Web UI configuration remains outside training data, scientific/AI exports, session synchronization, and business SQLite. Browser, React, TUI, and Android must not query desktop tables or duplicate Core calculations.
