Sprint 88 Plan: Long-Horizon Drift Monitoring and Forecasting

Context

Language ecosystems evolve. Sprint 88 predicts and mitigates future drift risks before they degrade support tiers.

---

Goals

1. Monitor ecosystem/version drift risk across languages and runtimes
2. Forecast likely pair instability and maintenance demand
3. Preemptively schedule mitigation work
4. Protect LTS matrix from unplanned degradations

Forecast Rule

• High-risk forecasted pairs are prioritized ahead of elective expansions.
