Roadmap

Direction, not promises. Two rules govern everything below (README §Security has the long form):

  • Accidents, not adversaries: new checks earn their place by preventing a plausible mistake (stale state, a typo, a race), not by closing a hypothetical attack from a friend.
  • Social, not mechanical: new features earn their place by encouraging people to work together in a terminal, not by adding machinery.

Later

  • Matrix: live validation on NetBSD and DragonFly; one interactive attach/role/switch pass per release (automated coverage is all non-interactive).

Resist: by design, not by neglect

  • No network transport: same-host is the perimeter; beyond it lies reinventing ssh.
  • No per-pane ACLs: tmux can't enforce them; faking it with hooks would be a leaky abstraction. Document the limitation instead.
  • No config files, no plugin system, no ACL syscalls: one POSIX file that runs on a 30-year spread of UNIXes is the identity; the 2026-04 simplification that removed per-OS ACL dispatch is not to be unwound.
  • Watch the file size: heavy why-comments are a feature; feature growth that pushes the single file far past its current size is not.
