 # Pace Roadmap
 
+<!-- BEGIN ROADMAP EXECUTION SNAPSHOT -->

+## 2026-08-24 execution snapshot
+
+> This evidence-reconciled snapshot is the issue-generation and visual-roadmap handoff. The longer-horizon strategy below remains canonical context; generated HTML, JSON, progress, issue plans, and commit lists are projections.
+
+**Lifecycle:** seed implementation  
+**Current gate:** Add observed-state capture and a drift report before attempting the reviewable convergence plan tracked by issue #2.  
+**North-star outcome:** Reviewable fleet convergence from declared desired state, observed state, and explicit drift.
+
+### Visual roadmap publication
+
+**Mode:** `central`  
+**Route:** `/roadmap/pace/`  
+**Current publication evidence:** GitHub source and CI only; no Pages or release publication observed.
+
+Publish the public-safe projection through egohygiene.io at /roadmap/pace/. This repository owns intent and acceptance evidence; it does not add a second site deployment.

+#### PAC-Q01 — Lock desired state
+
+**State:** `complete`  
+**Depends on:** None
+
+**Outcome:** Desired fleet state is represented by a deterministic lock artifact.
+
+**Exit criteria:**
+
+- [x] The lock is reproducible.
+- [x] Validation runs green in CI.
+
+**Current evidence:**
+
+- PR #4 merged at 99d479445406.
+- Desired-state lock validation was observed green.

+#### PAC-Q02 — Capture observed state
+
+**State:** `active`  
+**Depends on:** `PAC-Q01`
+
+**Outcome:** Pace can record what is actually deployed without mutating it.
+
+**Exit criteria:**
+
+- [ ] An observed-state schema and collector are implemented.
+- [ ] Fixtures prove stable normalization of at least one representative fleet.
+
+**Current evidence:**
+
+- No observed-state implementation was found.

+#### PAC-Q03 — Render actionable drift
+
+**State:** `planned`  
+**Depends on:** `PAC-Q02`
+
+**Outcome:** Desired and observed states produce a deterministic, human-reviewable drift report.
+
+**Exit criteria:**
+
+- [ ] Additions, removals, and changes are distinguished.
+- [ ] Repeated runs on unchanged input are identical.
+
+**Current evidence:**
+
+- No drift engine or report was observed.
+
+<!-- roadmap-step
+id: PAC-Q04
+status: planned

+issues: [2]
+-->
+#### PAC-Q04 — Create a reviewable convergence plan
+
+**State:** `planned`  
+**Depends on:** `PAC-Q03`
+
+**Outcome:** Issue #2 yields an ordered plan with explicit risk, ownership, and rollback information.
+
+**Exit criteria:**
+
+- [ ] The plan is generated without applying changes.
+- [ ] Each action links to the drift that caused it.
+
+**Current evidence:**
+
+- Issue #2 is the identified next planning gate.

+#### PAC-Q05 — Prove a no-write fleet pilot
+
+**State:** `planned`  
+**Depends on:** `PAC-Q04`
+
+**Outcome:** A representative repository fleet can be assessed safely before rollout automation is considered.
+
+**Exit criteria:**
+
+- [ ] The pilot runs with read-only credentials.
+- [ ] Operators approve the generated plan and documented rollback boundary.
+
+**Current evidence:**
+
+- No observed-state, drift, or fleet pilot evidence was found.
+

+#### PAC-Q06 — Roll out roadmap adoption safely
+
+**State:** `planned`  
+**Depends on:** `PAC-Q05`, `REL-Q05`
+
+**Outcome:** Pace detects stale roadmap adoption and proposes one bounded, reviewable repository update at a time.
+
+**Exit criteria:**
+
+- [ ] Dry-run drift covers contract, renderer, workflow, route, and publication-mode versions.
+- [ ] Write authority is separately approved and every proposal has a rollback path.
+
+**Current evidence:**
+
+- Only the desired-state lock is implemented today; fleet rollout remains unproven.
+
+### Roadmap-to-issue handoff
+
+- A step is complete only when its exit criteria and required evidence are satisfied; commit count never determines progress.
+- Ready steps without an issue are candidates for the private, duplicate-aware roadmap.issue-plan.json dry run. Planned steps remain preview-only unless a reviewer explicitly opts them in with issue_policy: propose.
+- Issue creation or reconciliation requires human approval or an explicitly authorized Pace operation and returns issue references through a reviewable roadmap pull request.
+- Pull requests and commits should include Roadmap-Step: <ID>; historical evidence may be linked through existing issue and pull-request relationships.
+- Public rendering uses only allowlisted build-time evidence and never places a GitHub token or private issue plan in the browser artifact.

 ## Strategic context
 
 This roadmap describes capability evolution, not promised dates or an issue queue. Sequence follows architecture dependencies and may change when evidence or risk changes.
