eMule Active Backlog — Issue Index

This directory is the active local backlog/spec and revalidation layer for this repo. Use ../INDEX.md for long-form background and reference reading.

GitHub-primary backlog workflow uses emulebb/emulebb issues (https://github.com/emulebb/emulebb/issues) and the public eMuleBB Roadmap org Project #2 (https://github.com/orgs/emulebb/projects/2) as current status, priority, release placement, discussion, ownership, and PR linkage authority for migrated items. Local item docs marked workflow: github are engineering spec/evidence records, not workflow status authority.

Historical reference only: stale-v0.72a-experimental-clean and analysis\stale-v0.72a-experimental-clean are retired reference sources, not active branch targets or current baselines. Use them only as provenance or idea-extraction sources; landed status is determined against main. See Historical References.

Current Snapshot

Source of truth: EMULE_WORKSPACE_ROOT\workspaces\workspace\app\emulebb-main (main branch) Current non-done count: 77 Latest release-doc refresh: 2026-05-23 Non-done by status: 61 OPEN, 6 IN_PROGRESS, 10 DEFERRED, 0 BLOCKED. Backlog counts: item tables below are authoritative. RC 0.7.3 relevance: Most non-done items below are future or deferred work; current RC gate and proof status is controlled by RELEASE-0.7.3. Broadband release status: emulebb-v0.7.3-rc.1 is the first public release-candidate target.

Operating Rules

Priority scale: Critical > Major > Minor > Trivial
Status values: OPEN / IN_PROGRESS / BLOCKED / DEFERRED / PASSED / DONE / WONT_DO

Directory role: docs/active/ owns current local specs, release control, active item evidence, and the current release execution plan. Closed item records and dated review provenance live under docs/history/. For GitHub-primary items marked workflow: github, current workflow state lives in GitHub.

Important: Items marked OPEN, IN_PROGRESS, BLOCKED, or DEFERRED link to active item records. Items marked DONE, PASSED, or WONT_DO link to archived item records under docs/history/items/. IN_PROGRESS work may already be implemented on dedicated bug/feature branches but is not considered landed until merged to main. Experimental-only work (see individual docs) is not in main unless the item status below says otherwise.

Revalidation rule: Before implementing any item, re-check it against current main and current dependency pins.

Regression rule: New feature/fix work from this backlog should include targeted regression checks. When behavior changes, compare main against baseline/community-0.72a as the seam-enabled parity and regression baseline where that comparison is meaningful.

RC 0.7.3 source rule: the public RC tag is cut from the selected reviewed main commit after refreshed proof passes and operator approval. The release stabilization branch is release/0.7.3 once the operator starts the RC branch.

Baseline stack rule:

• variant key community maps to worktree app\emulebb-community-baseline on branch baseline/community-0.72a; it is the seam-enabled parity and regression baseline, test-only
• variant key tracing-harness maps to worktree app\emulebb-community-tracing-harness on branch tracing-harness/community-0.72a; it is the behavior-changing variant-client parity harness, not the default baseline

Release Focus

RC 0.7.3 hardening is controlled by RELEASE-0.7.3. Use that page for release status, source decision, and the open RC task table. The current implementation sequence lives in the single RC 0.7.3 execution plan. Superseded release gate evidence and old cluster plans live under docs\history\release-0.7.3.
