Below is a strict dependecy-based classification:

  • Phase 5 (Structural / Substrate / Required Now)
  • Phase 6 (Platform Expansion / Feature Layer)
  • Phase 7+ (Federation / Certification / Civic / Marketplace)

PHASE 5 — Structural / Substrate

I. Governance & Continuity Core

  • OBJECT_ID schema
  • Append-only continuity spine
  • Decision Event enforcement
  • Mutation gate discipline
  • Negative bypass test suite
  • Runtime enforcement hardening (STRICT independence)
  • Owner Vault bounded by spine
  • Docking harness bound to spine
  • Deterministic replay capability

II. Role & Identity Architecture

  • Multi-role per user
  • Multi-organization identity
  • Role object model (not enum)
  • Role scope (global/org/project)
  • Role-bound capability mapping
  • Role mutation logging (append-only)

This must exist before UI builds out admin features.

III. Capability Flag Framework (Future-Proofing)

Even if features are not active:

  • Organization-level feature flags
  • Role-level feature flags
  • Feature toggle audit logging
  • Deterministic flag state surface

Examples toggled via flags:

  • Assistant
  • Multi-AI
  • Agora
  • Essay generation
  • AI factual-only mode
  • Ingestion features

IV. Module Registry (Extensible Architecture)

Instead of hardcoding modules:

  • Backend module registry
  • Metadata:
    • Required role
    • Feature flag
    • Governance risk level
    • Compliance tag
  • Frontend renders from registry

V. Governance State UI Substrate

Frontend Phase 5 includes only:

  • Governance status surface
  • Canonical version display
  • Override posture display
  • Continuity log viewer
  • Decision Event submission UI
  • Role-aware dashboard shell
  • Module navigation (registry-based)

VI. Transparency & Data Schema Foundations

  • AI provenance metadata schema
  • Artifact intake object schema
  • Compliance object schema
  • Organization configuration object schema
  • Data visibility API surface (even minimal)

VII. Accessibility & Internationalization Foundations

Not full feature layer, but:

  • i18n string externalization
  • Theme abstraction (no hard-coded color)
  • Font scalability
  • Accessibility-friendly layout structure

Phase 5 Summary

Phase 5 is:

  • Governance spine
  • Role architecture
  • Feature flag system
  • Module registry
  • Governance UI substrate
  • Runtime hardening
  • Schema foundations

PHASE 6 — Platform Expansion Layer

I. Productivity Layer

  • Calendar
  • Notebooks
  • Draft workspace
  • AI-free drafting mode
  • Module unlock progression
  • Monthly topic challenge

II. Assistant Layer

  • Text-based Aalam UI
  • Clarifying-question mode
  • Micro-lesson prompts
  • Confidence challenge prompts
  • International news retrieval
  • Non-extractive playlists
  • Multi-AI toggle at org level

This requires flag architecture + provenance schema.

III. Artifact & Intake Expansion

  • Media ingestion (audio/visual)
  • Structured artifact evaluation UI
  • AI watermark surface
  • AI-origin detection (probabilistic)
  • Dialect correction submissions
  • Structured claim evaluation forms

IV. Institutional Admin Layer

  • Seat management UI
  • Compliance reporting UI
  • LMS export integration
  • Audit window submission portal

Requires role polymorphism + compliance schema.

V. Configuration Layer

  • High contrast mode
  • Cognitive-friendly mode
  • Pomodoro timer
  • Strict factual-only mode toggle
  • Essay generation toggle
  • Org-level assistant enable/disable

All rely on flag system.

VI. Agora Social (Minimal, Structured)

If done in Phase 6:

  • No engagement mechanics
  • Structured debate format
  • No ranking
  • No addictive scroll
  • Internal org groups

Only after continuity spine is safe.

PHASE 7+ — Federation / Certification / Civic / Market

I. AI Certification

  • Vendor attestation
  • Data retention certification
  • Audit registry
  • Certification tiers

II. Federation Directory

  • ACP node registry
  • Compliance badges
  • Governance level display

III. Civic & Economic Systems

  • Responsible marketplace
  • Responsible investing
  • Civic voting
  • Donation system

IV. Multi-AI Governance Federation

  • AI selection governance
  • Jurisdictional AI control
  • Model-level compliance display
