Approved direction — 2026-09-07
Two core products: Element and Router; UI is dogfood/reference with Route Mode and Framework Mode. Router has a universal record-based core; explicit records and file-generated records converge on one table. Framework Mode defaults to file routing. Self-maintained URLPatternList is a strategic core asset derived from Justin Fagnani's implementation and informed by Luca Casonato's proposals, not an upstream-only dependency or a second URLPattern engine.
Execution
Every replacement includes deletion of the displaced owner and its obsolete callers/checkers/docs. Cleanup starts Day 1; Day 3 closes remaining repository/governance work. Measure reduced ownership and operational surface, not deletion quotas.
Three working days from implementation start is the target. Public beta.2.1/.2/.3 checkpoints require their own evidence; do not publish solely for ceremony. Enter 1.0.0-alpha.1 only after admission. Real-app hardening, broad benchmarks and further qualification continue in 1.0 Alpha, then evidence-gated RC/Stable. The former Beta.3 lane is retired; remaining work is preserved in the Alpha milestone.
This planning issue closes when
Train root #1155; Beta.2 umbrella #1288. Project: https://github.com/orgs/open-element/projects/3
Authority: maintainer-approved 2026-09-07 plan, ADR-0152 and docs/current/VERSION_PLAN.md (documentation PR linked on the train root). Planning is not implementation or release evidence.
Delivery
Documentation/tooling PR: #1342
Commit: 8e4132a. The planning deliverables are prepared and published for review; this issue remains open/In Progress until the PR is accepted. Product implementation issues remain Todo/open.
Project 3 contains 44 unique issues with Stage and Status populated (1 planning In Progress, 43 Todo). Four new issues (#1338-#1341) are linked into the existing issue hierarchy. Populated milestones were reconciled rather than abandoning their unfinished work.
Validation: 54 release-tool tests and 30 doc/version/release-truth tests passed; workflow, current/strategic/role-neutral docs, version anchors, release truth/state replay, changed-file format/Markdown lint and relative links passed. Retired the obsolete Alpha-topology checker/task/test instead of restoring superseded prose. Actual package/publication versions are unchanged. PR CI remains authoritative and is tracked on the PR.
Two-core-product refinement (2026-09-07)
Maintainer-approved refinement: two core products (Element and Router, including Framework Mode); UI is dogfood/reference. The existing 44-item Project and three-day Beta.2.x plan remain; #1338/#1339/#1340 now cover standalone Element delivery, private-compiler distribution, versioned artifacts and foreign CE boundaries. No additional umbrella or full UI migration is introduced. Updated documentation continues in PR #1342.
