Roadmap

Phase 0: Definition

• Write the project framing and library boundaries.
• Define the bounded gate schema contract.
• Document the WhetstoneDSL case study and current specialist fleet.

Phase 1: Gate Inventory

• Enumerate candidate gates from WhetstoneDSL.
• Record output vocabulary, input shape, and downstream deterministic executor.
• Split gates into deterministic, specialist, and escalation-first candidates.

Phase 2: Entropy Baseline

• Define a first-pass gate entropy score.
• Score the initial WhetstoneDSL gate set.
• Identify which gates are plausible at the ~800KB tier and which are not.

Phase 3: Size Sweep

• Run fixed-data comparisons across multiple model sizes.
• Measure accuracy, calibration, confusion concentration, and latency.
• Produce the first entropy-to-tier baseline table.

Phase 4: Core Library

• Implement gate schema loading and validation.
• Implement the decision request/response runtime.
• Implement abstain and escalation policies.
• Support pluggable inference backends.

Phase 5: Whetstone Integration

• Expose WhetstoneDSL gates through the library.
• Replace selected MCP bounded decisions with local specialist calls.
• Log abstentions and misroutes for retraining and gate redesign.

Phase 6: Hivemind Integration

• Feed gate failure data into Hivemind as entropy evidence.
• Use Hivemind to prioritize which high-entropy gates deserve deterministic tooling.
• Distinguish "needs a bigger model" from "needs a better tool or schema."

Exit Criteria For Version 0

• At least one reusable gate schema format is stable.
• At least three WhetstoneDSL gates are benchmarked across size tiers.
• A baseline entropy-to-tier recommendation table exists.
• One real application can call the library instead of hard-coding model selection.
