Maintenance

Directional, public, and deliberately selective.

Luke owns this page and keeps it aligned with the linked GitHub issues. Roadmap changes should update this page and the relevant issue labels together, so available, in-progress, and exploring items stay meaningful.

Operational, security, admin, and maintenance backlog items stay in GitHub. This page only tracks learner-facing outcomes.
