Vision

• Keep socket as the honest superproject layer for Gale's public Codex plugin and skills ecosystem, with subtree imports, root marketplace wiring, and cross-repo maintainer guidance kept consistent.

Product principles

• Keep the superproject focused on subtree coordination, root marketplace wiring, and cross-repo maintainer guidance.
• Keep child-repository ownership boundaries explicit instead of flattening repo-local behavior into socket.
• Keep public imported plugin surfaces and root marketplace wiring aligned in the same pass.

Milestone Progress

• Milestone 2: subtree workflow hardening
• Milestone 3: release and sync discipline

Milestone 2: subtree workflow hardening

Scope:

• Tighten the documented subtree add, pull, and push workflows without changing the child-repo ownership model.

Tickets:

• Review subtree workflow docs against the current import and publish path.

Exit criteria:

• Root maintainer workflow docs describe the actual subtree sync path without stale or duplicate guidance.

Milestone 3: release and sync discipline

Scope:

• Keep root release and synchronization guidance explicit when superproject-level changes ship.

Tickets:

• Document the expected root release and sync rhythm once the current subtree migration experiment stabilizes.

Exit criteria:

• Superproject release guidance is explicit enough that root changes can be shipped without improvising process each time.

Backlog Candidates

• Add a documented audit pass for detecting stale child packaging paths in the root marketplace.
• Add a superproject-level checklist for removing public child repos that should no longer be imported.

History

• Completed Milestone 1, superproject docs and marketplace alignment, by bringing the root README, AGENTS guidance, roadmap shape, and marketplace-path explanation back into alignment with the live mixed-monorepo model.
• Added the first root ROADMAP.md and established the checklist-style planning format for the superproject.
• Added a root marketplace-validation script and GitHub Actions workflow so socket now checks packaged plugin paths and manifest alignment instead of leaving that audit entirely manual.
• Added root CONTRIBUTING.md, ACCESSIBILITY.md, LICENSE, and NOTICE so the superproject's contributor, accessibility, and legal surfaces are explicit at the repository root.
