NAVI // ROADMAP

where we're headed.

mika is the stable foundation. Everything after it builds on that foundation rather than blurring the line between what's ready now and what's still being explored.

NOW // STABLE

navi 1.6 “mika”

The current stable release. A dependable Debian base, the wired tiling desktop (Wayland-first, X11 fallback), open agent tools baked in from first boot, and the smallweb application layer — now with its own update channel. navi-update pulls new releases and redeploys around your customizations; navi-wired-restore keeps the desktop layer honest, and navi-wired-adopt takes a release's new desktop defaults wholesale when you want them.

self-updating — navi-update + navi-wired-restore + navi-wired-adopt, waybar mods that always float (update indicator, notification bell)
wired desktop — sway + i3, waybar, rofi, nightshadeNeon everywhere
the cohesion update — xvoidsx’s own nightshadeNeon GTK theme, Moka icons, one design language across terminal, bar, launcher and notifications
agent-native — ollama, opencode, omp, goose, herdr, and navi-Q on Alt+A
webapp layer — naviApps store, navi radio, neighborli, glyyph, Dropbox
permacomputing — validated on a 2015 Acer Cloudbook; legacy BIOS + UEFI

UP NEXT // MAINTENANCE

1.x steady

The mika series stays stable. Security fixes and small, careful improvements keep landing on the 1.x line while the big exploration happens elsewhere — including the release-trust question, which we'll settle properly before committing to it for the long haul.

ROLLING // NAVI 2 // EIRI

navi 2 “eiri” — the coherence release

Coherence through ownership. One nightshadeNeon design language flowing through every layer xvoidsx builds — the same tokens and interaction grammar in terminal UIs, GTK apps, and the web. Our own stack, from the bottom to the top.

navi mods — waybar-driven clickable modules (networks, calendar, reminders, volume, bluetooth) launching small floating TUIs
nightshadeNeon as a system — bubbletea/lipgloss TUIs, a GTK3 theme, and web, all speaking one visual language
Hey Lain! — a local voice assistant (faster-whisper + piper-tts, no cloud) that can operate the desktop
enhance, don't replace — mods sharpen the daily surface without taking Linux away; choice is preserved

Eiri rolls as a real channel now: the eiri branch moves frequently, navi-update --channel eiri switches a mika machine onto it without re-installing, and bench ISOs are cut from the branch for fresh installs. It moves fast and occasionally breaks — mika stays stable underneath it.
