Purpose

Generate comprehensive version-specific roadmap by scanning codebase to document feature evolution, current capabilities, and development priorities. Enhanced with a detailed 5-year strategic plan featuring annual major version releases focused exclusively on template-oriented features.

Change Summary

Created docs/ROADMAP.md (849 lines)

  • Version timeline: v01.00.00 → v03.05.01 with release notes
  • Current release documentation (v03.05.00): 58 subsections covering:
    • Theming system (color palettes, dark mode, typography)
    • Layout structure (23 module positions)
    • Content features (TOC, article layouts)
    • Analytics integration (GTM, GA4)
    • Configuration parameters (complete template settings)
    • Development tools (Codeception, PHPStan, PHPCS, CI/CD)
  • Planned features: soft offline mode, TODO tracking, development mode
  • 5-Year Future Roadmap with annual major version releases (template-focused):
    • v04.00.00 (Q4 2027): Enhanced Accessibility & Performance - WCAG 2.1 AA compliance, template performance optimizations, layout system enhancements, typography controls, responsive grids
    • v05.00.00 (Q4 2028): Advanced Layouts & Template Customization - template layout builder, styling system with CSS variable editor, component variations (headers, footers, menus), responsive design patterns

Updated docs/README.md

  • Added roadmap link to documentation index
  • Updated project structure diagram
  • Aligned metadata to v03.05.00

Generation methodology:

  • Extracted configuration from templateDetails.xml
  • Parsed version history from CHANGELOG.md
  • Scanned source code for features and TODOs
  • Incorporated strategic planning for 5-year template-focused roadmap

Refocusing on template features:

  • Removed non-template features: blockchain/Web3, WebXR/AR/VR, business intelligence, infrastructure (Kubernetes/Docker), AI personalization engines, newsletter platforms
  • Concentrated on: layout systems, styling customization, typography controls, module variations, responsive design, template parameters, frontend display capabilities

Testing Evidence

  • Documentation structure validated (11 sections, 58 subsections + 5 future versions)
  • Version consistency verified (v03.05.00 matches codebase)
  • Future roadmap includes 5 major versions with annual releases (2027-2031), all template-focused
  • Markdown formatting confirmed
  • Technical terms clarified for better comprehension
  • CodeQL: No issues (documentation only)

Risk and Rollback

Risk: None - documentation addition only, no code changes
Rollback: Revert commits or delete docs/ROADMAP.md

Checklist

  • Follows Conventional Commits
  • Tests added or updated (N/A - documentation)
  • Documentation updated if required
  • License header present where applicable
  • Linked issue(s) referenced

Reviewer Notes

Roadmap provides centralized reference for feature tracking with clear 5-year strategic direction focused exclusively on template features. Version 03.05.00 reflects current code state; CHANGELOG shows 03.05.01 but code files not yet updated. Future versions (v04-v08) represent planned annual major releases with detailed template-specific feature roadmaps for each year from 2027 to 2031. All features concentrate on layout, styling, customization, responsive design, and frontend display capabilities within the Joomla template context.

Several past release version strings in this roadmap don’t match the canonical identifiers in CHANGELOG.md (e.g., roadmap uses "v03.00.00" while CHANGELOG.md has "[03.00]", and roadmap uses "v02.00.00" while CHANGELOG.md has "[2.00.00]"). This can confuse readers trying to correlate the documents; please standardize the version naming to match the changelog (or explicitly document the normalization).

The version reference "v2.1.5" here doesn’t match the repository’s version formatting (e.g., CHANGELOG uses "02.01.05" for 2025-09-04) and appears to refer to a non-existent release. Rename this to the correct version identifier (likely v02.01.05) or remove the version mention if it’s only a historical note.

The revision history table uses double pipes at the start of each row (e.g., "|| Date ..."), which is not valid Markdown table syntax and won’t render correctly. Switch to standard Markdown table formatting using single pipes ("| Date | ...").
