Roadmap

Lifecycle / Sunset Policy

This is a bridge tool until Microsoft ships standalone dnx (tracking dotnet/sdk#49796).

When that ships:

  • v1.x: security fixes for 12 months.
  • v2.0 (final): deprecation notice pointing to Microsoft's tool. Every invocation prints a deprecation banner linking the official command.
  • The API and CLI surface intentionally mirror dnx so migration is mechanical.

We will not grow scope beyond dnx parity. Feature requests outside that scope will be politely closed.

Phase plan

v0.1.0 — MVP (current)

Goal: AssistStudio (and similar apps) can replace dnx calls with FieldCure.ToolHost and ship to MS Store users without requiring the .NET SDK.

In scope for v0.1:

  • All public types in FieldCure.ToolHost implemented for platform-agnostic tools (tools/{tfm}/any/).
  • All flag-matrix entries marked ✓ v0.1 in docs/flag-compatibility.md.
  • nuget.org as the default source; --add-source for additional feeds.
  • NuGet credential providers wired up.
  • 80% unit-test coverage on the library; one integration test against dotnetsay on nuget.org.
  • CI on Windows, Linux, macOS.

Out of scope for v0.1 (deferred to v0.2):

  • Full RID-based tool selection (--arch, --os).
  • Self-contained / NativeAOT tools (Runner = "executable").
  • Comprehensive authenticated-feed test matrix.
  • Performance optimizations (parallel downloads, pre-warming).

v0.2.0

  • Full RID-graph traversal for platform-specific tool packages.
  • Self-contained / NativeAOT tool support.
  • Authenticated-feed test matrix (Azure DevOps, GitHub Packages, private feeds).
  • --list extension: show locally cached tools and versions.
  • --prune extension: clean stale cached versions per policy.

v1.0.0

  • Public API frozen; breaking changes require a major bump.
  • All flag-matrix entries fully implemented (no "best-effort" caveats).
  • Performance baseline documented (cold cache, warm cache).
  • Used by AssistStudio v1.1+ in production.

Post-1.0 — sunset watch

Monitor dotnet/sdk#49796. When standalone dnx ships:

  1. Add deprecation notice to README and fcdnx --help.
  2. Document the migration path (fcdnx X → official command Y).
  3. Continue security patches for 12 months.
  4. Release v2.0 with deprecation banner on every invocation.
