Hive public roadmap
Directional, not a promise. This roadmap reflects the public v4 direction as of 2026-08-27. It is maintained by pull request and can change as issues, security reviews, and operator feedback change the order of work.
The umbrella issues this page grew out of — #2812 (catch-up epic) and #2811 (docs catch-up) — were both closed on 2026-08-08. They are cited below as the origin of a line of work, not as live trackers: a closed umbrella says nothing about whether any particular item under it shipped, so each row states its own status.
Hive’s roadmap is organized as Now / Next / Later: near-term work already in flight, likely follow-ups, and longer-horizon bets. Items are listed in planning order, not priority rank.
Now
| Work | Outcome | Tracking |
|---|---|---|
| Prompt-injection defense-in-depth | Canary-token checks, output redaction, fail-closed scanning, and the optional model-based semantic classifier build on deterministic ioscan kick-path redaction. | #2805, security threat model, ADR-0008 |
| Intent verification | Tier-based change authorization is in the merge-gate path; trajectory-integrated intent-alignment review remains the next slice. | #2803, intent verification |
| Review fan-out | Structured review reports and deterministic aggregation are in place; scheduler fan-out to parallel review perspectives is the deferred wiring. | #2807, review swarm |
| Credential-free sandbox kick path | Move agent execution toward no live token and no direct network in the sandbox, with trusted host-side post-steps retaining the MITM proxy as an outer layer. | #2804, security threat model |
| Spoke-based lite enrollment | Keep hivectl enroll OWNER/REPO as a zero-secret on-ramp by adding repos to an existing spoke or provisioning a hosted lite spoke; the hub tracks spokes. | #2808, lite enrollment |
| Retrospective learning lane | Build from deterministic post-completion advisory beads toward LLM-assisted retro summaries and knowledge extraction. | #2809, retro lane |
| ADR back-fill for remaining subsystems | Done. Back-filled accepted ADRs capture the knowledge system, skill registry, CEL/channel triggers, and hub/spoke mechanics, so architecture decisions stay auditable. | ADR-0011, ADR-0012, ADR-0013, ADR-0014 |
Next
| Work | Outcome | Tracking |
|---|---|---|
| Docs site publication | The docs index ships and is maintained; the MkDocs/site pipeline is still deferred — no site config exists in the tree. Its originating issue is closed, so this item currently has no open tracker. | docs index, origin: #2811 (closed) |
GitLab through pkg/forge | pkg/forge ships GitHub, GitLab, and Gitea/Forgejo adapters with the read path and core write path implemented and tested; Merge is left an explicit interface TODO because merge semantics diverge across forges. What remains is moving scheduler operations behind the abstraction — production callers still use the forge-specific client directly. Its originating epic is closed, so this item currently has no open tracker. | ADR-0005, origin: #2812 (closed) |
Later
| Work | Outcome | Tracking |
|---|---|---|
| Cross-forge orchestration | Coordinate issues, merge requests, policy, and evidence across GitHub, GitLab, and Forgejo/Gitea-style forges. | ADR-0005 |
| Memory and learning maturation | Turn retro findings and curated knowledge into durable, testable priming without hidden or unauditable agent memory. | knowledge design, retro lane |
| Kubernetes-native agent sandboxes | Graduate from tmux/container execution toward k8s-native, policy-isolated agent workloads where that complexity is justified. | architecture, security threat model |
Reading this roadmap
- Now does not mean all work is complete; it means active phase-2 work or freshly merged foundations with known wiring still in progress.
- Next items are expected follow-ups, not release commitments.
- Later items are strategic directions that may split into narrower issues before implementation.
