Roadmap
What is built today and what is coming next. Items marked
shipped are in the tree and gated by make check;
roadmap items are planned.
Shipped
Core investigation stack
- shipped Deterministic LangGraph pipeline
(supervisor → triage → investigator → validator → drafter → approval) with a real
interrupt()approval gate and durable checkpointing. - shipped The MCP audit boundary (knowledge / telemetry / procedure servers) with import-linter enforcement.
- shipped Symmetric citation-integrity gates + telemetry
grounding;
UNGROUNDEDblocks release. - shipped Cited rule-outs, onboard corroboration, knowledge gaps, self-consistency ranking, and a narrative critic.
Detection & ingest
- shipped Detectors: annotation, ECOD, graph, onboard; the telecommand-response suppression filter.
- shipped Telemetry sources: replay, samples-file, Yamcs, OpenC3 (+ streaming), MQTT, AWS Ground Station, ESA-ADB.
- shipped CCSDS Space Packet decode + preview, PUS service classification (Service 5 onboard-anomaly reports), and the full CCSDS telemetry source (packet dump + layout dictionary → cited investigation).
- shipped XTCE dictionary ingest + preview, and
XTCE-container-derived CCSDS packet dictionaries (auto-derive the packet layout from an XTCE
SequenceContainer). - shipped Streaming consumers — Kafka and native
AWS Ground Station (a bounded read off a Kinesis stream of decommutated parameters, not raw
VITA-49) on the same read-only
TelemetrySourceseam. - shipped Proactive watchlist triage sweep.
Platform & enterprise
- shipped FastAPI service; the operator console (Casefile IA, RBAC, release gate, ingest, integrations).
- shipped Real backends behind protocols (Neo4j, Qdrant, Postgres); durable persistence.
- shipped Billing/entitlements + quota gate; usage metering.
- shipped Identity — SAML + SCIM 2.0, OIDC seam.
- shipped SIEM audit export; observability (OTel).
- shipped Deployment — Docker Compose, Helm chart, one-command on-prem (k3d), air-gap posture.
- shipped Benchmark harnesses — golden, grounding-quality, confidence-calibration; ESA-ADB detection benchmark; C-MAPSS RUL harness.
- shipped Prognostics / RUL advisory head.
Roadmap
- roadmap KG-prior GAT detector — a dual-attention graph model using the FMECA/KG topology as the adjacency prior, targeting the full-channel regime.
- roadmap Frozen-TSFM cold-start — open-weight time-series-foundation-model embeddings + classical outlier detection for day-1 detection on a new spacecraft with no history (air-gap-friendly).
- roadmap Per-tenant encryption keys / CMK and residency as the isolation boundary.
- roadmap Certifications — ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2 Type II, MeitY empanelment (pursued in customer-driven order; never claimed before held).
- roadmap C-MAPSS real-data run — the harness is built and fixture-verified; needs the raw FD001–004 dataset.
Permanently out of scope
Anything that constructs, formats, or transmits a telecommand. VELA is advisory, forever.
