# Development Roadmap

## Completed foundations

- Tauri + React/TypeScript desktop shell, themes, navigation, and accessibility
  contrast mode.
- Versioned JSON profiles with built-in templates and import/export.
- Generic, non-copyrighted controller visualization.
- Real evdev controller enumeration/capability probing plus a safe simulated
  fallback for development without hardware.
- Pure, tested stick/trigger response transformation math.

## Next engineering milestones

1. Connect the reader to the transform pipeline and a managed uinput virtual
   controller with safe cleanup on disconnect/shutdown.
2. Finish advanced mappings (macros, turbo timing, shift layers, hold/toggle
   semantics) in the output pipeline.
3. Complete calibration sampling and custom curve editing.
4. Add executable-based profile switching and the support-bundle exporter.
5. Validate hardware behavior across USB, Bluetooth, and receiver modes; build
   distributable Linux packages.

## Safety principles

- No firmware changes.
- No undocumented vendor commands.
- No root application process.
- Never create a virtual output device unless requested and permission checks
  pass.
- Release virtual controls on disconnect and application shutdown.
