  1# DomainDig Release Roadmap
  2
  3Priority lens: **new user-facing features.** The inspection engine is already
  4deep (DNS, DNSSEC, CAA, TLS, TLSA/DANE, email security incl. BIMI/MTA-STS, RDAP,
  5ports, geolocation, subdomains, availability). The next several releases invest
  6in *reach and surfacing* — getting that data onto more iOS surfaces and into more
  7workflows — rather than adding raw protocol checks.
  8
  9Current version: `v4.7.0`.
 10
 11## v4.4.1 Patch: Release Readiness — ✅ shipped
 12
 13- Consolidated Audit Mode onto the single `DomainDig/DomainDig/Audit*`
 14  implementation and retired the prototype files.
 15- Aligned `AppVersion.current`, Xcode marketing version, and build number.
 16- Included audit sessions in backup/restore counts, summaries, and merge behavior.
 17- Removed the retired `DomainDigCLI` target and refreshed README/architecture docs.
 18
 19## v4.5.0 Minor: Home Screen & Shortcuts Reach — ✅ shipped
 20
 21Goal: put DomainDig data and actions where the user already is.
 22
 23- **App Intents / Shortcuts** — `InspectDomainIntent`, `AddToWatchlistIntent`, and
 24  `RunSweepIntent`, exposed via `DomainDigShortcuts` for Shortcuts, Spotlight, the
 25  Action button, and Siri.
 26- **`domaindig://` deep links** — `inspect`, `watch`, `domain` (detail), and
 27  `sweep`, routed in `RootTabView`.
 28- **WidgetKit portfolio widget** (Home Screen small/medium/large) — per-domain
 29  health, certificate countdowns, and portfolio health counts, shared from the app
 30  via an App Group; tapping a domain deep-links into its detail.
 31
 32Deferred to a later minor: **Lock Screen accessory widget families** and a richer
 33per-widget "last change" indicator.
 34
 35## v4.6.0 Minor: Alerts, Glances & iPad — ✅ shipped
 36
 37Goal: make monitoring and results feel first-class across contexts.
 38
 39- **Sweep Live Activity** — a batch/watchlist sweep drives a Live Activity with a
 40  progress bar, current domain, and change/warning counts on the Lock Screen and
 41  in the Dynamic Island (`SweepActivityController` around the batch pipeline).
 42- **Share extension** (`DomainDigShareExtension`) — "Dig Domain" accepts a web URL
 43  from the system share sheet, extracts the host, and hands it to the app via the
 44  App Group inbox; the app inspects it on next activation.
 45- **iPad-optimized layout** — `RootTabView` renders a `NavigationSplitView`
 46  (sidebar + detail) in the regular size class and the tab bar in compact.
 47- **Actionable notifications** — per-domain `threadIdentifier` grouping, a
 48  "Re-inspect" action, and taps that route into the domain's detail.
 49
 50Deferred: monitoring-alert Live Activities (only the sweep activity shipped) and
 51Lock Screen accessory widget families (carried over from v4.5.0).
 52
 53## v4.7.0 Minor: Intelligence & Comparison — ✅ shipped
 54
 55Goal: help users interpret and organize, not just collect.
 56
 57- **Domain-vs-domain comparison** — `DiffService.compare(domainA:domainB:)`
 58  reuses the existing section-diff builders; `DomainCompareView` (Watchlist
 59  toolbar → "Compare Domains") picks two tracked domains and renders the result
 60  with the existing diff section UI.
 61- **Reputation / blocklist signals** — a new pluggable data source
 62  (`ExternalDataService.reputation(domain:)`, Pro+) mirroring the existing
 63  ownership/DNS-history/pricing enrichment pattern. Ships with no bundled
 64  third-party endpoint; folds a listed status into risk score/factors and
 65  insights, so it rides the existing report and monitoring change-severity
 66  pipeline rather than needing bespoke monitoring wiring.
 67- **Tags and saved views** for the watchlist — freeform tags per tracked
 68  domain, tag filter chips, and named saved filter/sort/tag presets
 69  (UserDefaults-backed; not yet part of backup/restore).
 70
 71## v4.8.0 Minor: Reporting & Sharing
 72
 73Goal: turn point-in-time snapshots into shareable, scheduled deliverables.
 74
 75- Scheduled report generation (markdown/json/pdf) for tracked domains.
 76- Stronger share affordances for reports and audit evidence.
 77- Export polish and consistency across app and local API output.
 78
 79## v5.0.0 Major: Contract Stabilization & Engineering Health
 80
 81Goal: earn long-term compatibility promises — and pay down the debt that the
 82feature releases above will accumulate.
 83
 84- Define migration policy for persisted snapshots, backups, audits, workflows,
 85  and settings.
 86- Stabilize the public local API response contract; document compatibility
 87  guarantees and planned deprecations.
 88- **Establish a test target.** The project currently has no XCTest target and no
 89  tests; add one and cover the deterministic core first — `DomainReportBuilder`,
 90  `DomainReportExporter`, `DomainDataPortabilityService` (merge/replace dedup),
 91  and `DiffService` — before locking down external contracts.
 92- **Decompose the god-files** behind that test net: `DomainViewModel.swift`
 93  (~4.7k lines) and `ContentView.swift` (~3.8k lines) into focused units
 94  (audit, monitoring, workflows, portability).
 95
 96## Cross-cutting note
 97
 98New feature surfaces (widgets, intents, extensions) each add a target and a
 99persistence/entitlement seam. This project still has **no XCTest target** —
100v4.5.0 through v4.7.0 all shipped without the characterization-test safety net
101originally recommended before v4.7.0. That gap is now larger (comparison,
102reputation, and tags/saved-views all touch persisted models with hand-written
103backward-compatible decoders) and should be the very first thing v5.0.0 does,
104not a later item within it.
