Docker / Server Track

Live Preview
  • Compose stack is live now: API, worker, web, Postgres, Redis.
  • Smoke test passes end-to-end (`./scripts/test_docker_web.sh`).
  • Integration catalog + profile CRUD/test endpoints are live in API and web preview.
  • Web integration catalog now exposes the full runtime connector set (handoff, Google Calendar API, Drive/Dropbox, Shopify/Webflow, Supabase, OpenRouter, Resend, Mailgun, and more).
  • Web graph builder supports draft nodes/links, link editor, and selected-run timeline controls.
  • Workflow preflight now validates through server API for runtime-accurate graph checks.
  • Node behavior supports action templates, integration required-field hints, execution presets, integration-specific action field UX, and per-node on-error policy controls.
  • Workflow panel now supports search, form-based create/update/duplicate, and selected-workflow lifecycle actions.
  • Run timeline panel now supports API-backed status/search/node/limit/order filters plus selected-run delete.
  • Run timeline/log query endpoints are now live in API for richer web diagnostics.
  • Web graph builder now includes a visual canvas stage with draggable nodes, live links, direct port-to-port wire dragging, selection sync, auto-arrange, and fit view.
  • Settings panel now covers local backend + key fields, cloud API keys, local runtime toggle, theme controls, automation defaults, minimap placement persistence, and reset defaults.
  • Admin backup/restore endpoints are live (`/api/v1/admin/backup`, `/api/v1/admin/restore`).
  • Observability endpoints are live (`/api/v1/observability/summary`, `/api/v1/observability/runs`).
  • Optional secrets-at-rest encryption is live via `SECRET_ENCRYPTION_KEY`.
  • Secrets rotation endpoint is live (`/api/v1/admin/secrets/rotate`).
  • Managed secret adapters are live (`env`/`file`/`http`/`vault`/`chain` + provider diagnostics/reload/status routes).
  • Schema migration expansion is live (`v3` boundaries + migration snapshots + future-schema guardrails).
  • Runtime image/version governance checks are live (`/api/v1/admin/runtime/governance` + stricter release/image policy checks + meta status fields).
  • Relational migration expansion is live (`r0001-r0007` Postgres revision tracking + `/api/v1/admin/runtime/migrations`).
  • Relational schema guardrails are live (startup enforcement + min/max schema version boundaries + unknown revision policy).
  • Migration operations now include safe constraint validation (`/api/v1/admin/runtime/migrations/validate`, dry-run/apply).
  • Authenticated apply-and-verify migration flow is live (`/api/v1/admin/runtime/migrations/validate/apply`, API token + reason required).
  • Feature-flagged storage backend cutover is live (`SIXPX_STORAGE_BACKEND=json|postgres`, optional strict mode).
  • CI now verifies runtime + release governance baselines and release pipeline emits artifact provenance attestations.
  • Next for GA: production frontend hardening and enterprise KMS-grade secret adapters.

GitHub Ops Track

100%
  • Pages deploy workflow, release packaging workflow, and contribution docs are live.
  • Release `v0.1.9` is published with `.deb`, portable tarball, AppImage, Flatpak, and checksums.
  • Marketing pages for Matthew’s apps are published in this site.
  • Post-launch onboarding/tutorial/community docs are now live (quickstart, tutorial, and growth loop).

Docker is no longer “planning only.” It is live in public beta with verified compose startup, API routes, run-control endpoints (including approval-gate resume), integration profile endpoints, profile bundle import/export, and graph execution behavior.
