Summary

Refreshes ROADMAP.md currency and Alpha→Beta release gate status as of 2026-10-24, reflecting the impact of the chunk timeout fix (#354, commit 7ada604) and subsequent image publication.

Key Evidence & Updates

1. Build reliability:

   • Reflects commit 7ada604 (ci(build): give chunks a 200-minute build budget #354, 200m chunk budget) and related CAS/build improvements (fix(ci): stream build_final CAS restores and free the CAS before export #355, fix(build): apply kwin_wayland cap_sys_nice under fakecap, not in the bst sandbox #356, fix(build): give oci/kde-linux/image.bst glib for glib-compile-schemas #359, fix(build): stop build-oci leaking whiteouts under whited-out directories #361).
   • Replaces the former "0 of 79 successes" / "never green" assessment with measured run evidence: 12 successful runs of Build Tromso (Multi-Runner) (11 scheduled nightlies, 1 dispatch; e.g. first nightly run 37182042690, latest green nightly run 38684318450) out of 136 total recorded runs.
   • Notes build_final executes and publishes ghcr.io/tuna-os/tromso:latest (manifest digest sha256:2b89f634081fa2b9221d35af67ba3ba20f3d2ad37a056a6fb38e6d3064e581aa).
   • Gate remains partially unmet because candidate Live ISO assembly (build-iso.yml) has not yet produced a passing ISO from a build commit (0 of 100).

2. Install validation:

   • Records the first passing E2E install: LUKS Install End-to-End Test succeeded against published ghcr.io/tuna-os/tromso:latest in run 39230716090 on 2026-10-19 (1 of 100 runs green).
   • Updates Plain Install End-to-End Test status: 0 of 78 (pulls :latest successfully, but times out waiting for ready state at boot in QEMU, run 39398183219).
   • Updates Build and Publish Tromsø Live ISO: 0 of 100 (fails at Flatpak installation due to missing machine-id, run 38745970085).
   • Notes the missing-image blocker ([ci-maintainer] LUKS/Plain E2E red on every PR: QEMU tests pull ghcr.io/tuna-os/tromso:latest which is never published (manifest unknown) #221) was resolved and closed on 2026-10-17.

3. Release operations:

   • Updates promote-stable.yml evidence to 0 of 13 scheduled runs (2026-07-21 → 2026-10-13; run 38431625178 passed its multi-runner build check (build ok=0) but aborted because ISO and Plain install checks failed).

4. User readiness & Desktop experience:

   • Notes container image publication resolves image availability in [strategist] README advertises ghcr.io/tuna-os/tromso:latest and cosign verification for an image that has never been published #280, while Live ISO publication and release notes remain pending.
   • Notes Flatpak preconfiguration failure in Live ISO assembly.

5. Release readiness narrative:

   • Explains that the previous single root cause ([strategist] Four months, 199 gate runs, zero green: Tromsø has never published an image and the Alpha→Beta ladder cannot advance #278: chunk build failure preventing image publication) has been overcome, and Beta readiness blockers have decoupled into candidate Live ISO assembly, plain-install boot readiness, build consistency, and promotion gating.

Closes #381

Checked the cited runs: 37165877326/37182042690/38684318450 are successful Multi-Runner runs (dispatch/schedule, dates match), 39230716090 LUKS e2e succeeded, 39398183219 plain-install and 38745970085 ISO runs failed, 38431625178 promote failed; #354 commit 7ada604 exists and the 12-success multi-runner count matches. Counts are a dated snapshot (some totals have drifted slightly since, e.g. LUKS now 2 successes), which the 'Current evidence (2026-10-24)' header covers. No CI ran on this head.

[hanthor-hive-agent]

Hive approved the workflow runs GitHub was holding for approval on this head (run 40133969183, 40133969226, 40133969520) because @thatguywob is registry-trusted at tier trusted, which the contributor lane accepts for unattended merge. CI, reviewer verdict, diff fences, soak, holds and branch protection still apply before anything merges.

[hanthor-hive-agent]

@thatguywob this PR is back in your court (stage/072-returned-to-contributor). The hive will not merge it until the head changes.

Review asks:

• the branch conflicts with the base and needs a rebase

Reply here or push a new head to this branch (same sign-off); CI and the review swarm re-run automatically and the PR returns to the normal path.

Queued in your relay fix queue (33 waiting): fixes are handed out before new work as soon as you have capacity.

[hanthor-hive-agent]

@thatguywob the hive has adopted this PR (stage/074-adopted-by-hive): your hive has been offline since the nudge. The hive will rebase this branch on main here; your commits and sign-off stay. Push a new head yourself at any time and the hive yields it back to you.

[hanthor-hive-agent]

The hive adopted this PR (stage/074-adopted-by-hive) but its head 5e6730884bf9 has not moved for 3h58m and the hive has nothing it can push: adoption-stalled:fork-rehome-refused.

Blocker: this PR comes from a fork (thatguywob/tromso) and the hive cannot finish it on the fork's own branch. Moving its commits to hive/adopt-426 in this repository would run code no maintainer has reviewed with the repository's trusted CI (secrets, write tokens, no fork guards), so the hive did not. Ask (maintainer): review the change; if it should land, bring it into the repository yourself or follow the repository's process for fork pull requests, otherwise close it.

Moving to stage/085-needs-decision so a person sees it. This is not a merge-approval wait: the lane has not admitted this head.

[hanthor]

Maintainer decision: closing as superseded by #415 (merged 2026-10-30), which already refreshed ROADMAP.md with the same Beta-gate/run-level evidence (scheduled runs 38117166169…38684318450, LUKS 39230716090, WebKit failure 40064106136). The linked roadmap-currency issues (#324, #369, #381) are already closed, and this branch now conflicts on the same lines. Thanks @thatguywob — if anything here is still missing from main, please open a small follow-up against the current ROADMAP.md.
