v3.0.0 — AI Engineering Operating System and Ecosystem GA

Purpose: Defines product intent, users, scope, non-goals, journeys, value, and measurable outcomes. Audience: product, architecture, engineering, security, operations, documentation, release, and AI coding agents Owner: Forgevena Architecture and Ecosystem Maintainers Roadmap authority: docs/strategy/FORGEVENA_VERSIONED_PRODUCT_ROADMAP.md#v300--ai-engineering-operating-system-and-ecosystem-ga Lifecycle: planned Review: before implementation and at every lifecycle promotion

Problem and Business Value

Unify Forgevena Core, ForgeRegistry, ForgeHub, governance, workflows, evidence, intelligence, and optional managed services into a resilient AI Engineering Operating System.

This version reduces the operational and governance risk represented by its committed work while preserving local-first operation and human authority.

Personas and Journeys

  • Individual developer: previews, validates, and adopts the capability locally.
  • Platform engineer: configures policy, compatibility, and operational boundaries.
  • Security or compliance reviewer: verifies evidence without receiving secrets or source content.
  • Maintainer: publishes, supports, migrates, and retires the capability safely.

The primary journey is discover or configure, preview, validate, approve, apply, observe, update, and roll back.

Scope

  • Unified AI Engineering Operating System: Present local projects, capabilities, workflows, policies, evidence, registries, organizations, and ecosystem operations through one governed platform.
  • Evidence Graph, Digital Twin, and Release Autopilot: Connect requirements, architecture, code, tests, policies, packages, releases, risks, operations, and recovery into explainable engineering evidence.

Candidates

  • None approved.

Non-Goals

  • No mandatory account, telemetry, cloud, managed service, advertising, or surrender of human promotion authority.
  • No breaking change without previewable migration, compatibility evidence, rollback, and final-2.x support.

Success Metrics

  • Local and offline operation remain complete.
  • Federation and control-plane outages preserve productive local work.
  • Independent security, privacy, accessibility, reliability, and ecosystem governance reviews pass.
