Future Plan

Work that is designed but not built. These pages exist so that a direction can be reviewed, argued with, and costed before code lands — and so that a reader can tell at a glance what KrakenOS does today from what it is intended to do next.

Each page states its own status in the first line. Nothing here describes shipped behaviour; for that, see the Manual and the Knowledge Base.

The corresponding design documents live outside the Sphinx tree, alongside the code they govern:

design document

what it governs

docs/design_wave_domains.md

the three-domain wave-optics architecture summarised in Wave Optics — Three Domains, and Why KrakenOS Needs All Three

docs/design_scene_ir.md

the materialized Scene IR, a prerequisite for the wave work from Stage 4 on

docs/design_qt_migration.md

the Tk → Qt migration, which the wave work deliberately does not touch

docs/design_row_placement_space.md

placement-space analysis that the Scene IR design builds on
