Sovereign Edge — Epics Overview

A domain-first map of all Sovereign Edge work streams, cross-cutting the phase-sequenced roadmap. Each epic collects related tasks regardless of when they're planned or shipped. Tasks within each epic carry a stable ID (<epic>.<seq>) that can be cited in doc cross-references and dependency lists (not commit messages or PR titles — see CONTRIBUTING.md).

Full concept and architecture: CONCEPT.md. Decision record behind this shape: research 0001.

Layout

Epics live in one of three directories, matching each file's own scope: frontmatter — this is a structural split, not just a tag, so a file's location always tells you where its code ships:

• mobile/ — ships inside apps/mobile today.
• desktop/ — ships inside apps/desktop, once it exists.
• shared/ — platform-neutral by design, not owned by one app (the Connector SDK and Monetization epics: both are structured from the start to span mobile and desktop, not implemented in one first and ported later).

An epic's directory reflects what its deliverables target today, not final architecture. A mobile/ epic may move to shared/ once its code is extracted into packages/core (Connector Framework is the likely first candidate) — moving the file is the update, not a separate tag to remember. Epic IDs (<epic>.<seq>) are permanent regardless of which directory the file lives in; only the path changes.

Mobile

ID	Epic	Status	Summary
0	Infrastructure	✅ Complete	Repo scaffold, RN project setup, CI, build tooling for iOS/Android
1	Core Inference & Chat	✅ Complete	llama.rn/GGUF engine, model manager, fully offline chat and writing assistant
2	Connector Framework	⏳ In Progress	Manifest schema, permission/consent model, tool-routing, tiered trust runtime — Tier 1 done, Tier 3 scaffolding (2.6) open
3	Search Connector	✅ Done	Default Tier 1 connector — meta-search (SearXNG-aligned) web search
4	Sovereign Tasks Connector	📋 Planned	Default Tier 1 connector — direct API integration with a self-hosted sovereign
7	Design System & Branding	⏳ In Progress	Native theme adapting Sovereign's visual identity; standalone app, shared look
8	Mobile App Shell	⏳ In Progress	The React Native app itself — iOS + Android, not a WebView wrapper
10	Calendar Connector	⏳ In Progress	First Tier 3 connector — create/update/delete/query the device's own calendar; mobile + desktop (macOS only) done, Windows/Linux desktop scoped as a fast-follow (10.3)
11	Device Connector	✅ Complete	Tier 3 connector — app-window brightness (11.1) and flashlight (11.2) both done, both verified on a real physical device
16	Knowledge Base	📋 Planned	Opt-in on-device knowledge base — archives conversations, accepts user content, retrieval folded into the offline pipeline; no connector, no network (research 0012). A remote knowledge base is a deferred second phase

Desktop

ID	Epic	Status	Summary
9	Desktop Shell	✅ Complete	Shell technology decision — Tauri v2, over Electron and a React Native shell
12	Desktop Core Port	✅ Done	Secondary, optional desktop client on Tauri — on-device inference, connector framework, grammar-constrained tool-calling, minimal offline chat UI, writing-assist modes (12.1–12.7, 12.7a, 12.8)
13	Desktop App Shell	✅ Done	Real navigation, model manager, connectors/permissions, and settings screens — extracted from task 12.7's single chat screen
14	Desktop Distribution & Signing	⏳ In Progress	Real signed/notarized installer artifacts and a self-update mechanism — no app store to piggyback on; 14.1/14.3/14.4 done — real macOS/Windows/Linux releases via CI, v0.1.5 published, update mechanism live; only 14.2 (code signing) remains, skipped for now
15	Design System & Branding (Desktop)	✅ Complete	The desktop counterpart to epic 7 — warm cream/clay palette, icon system, and per-screen passes (15.1–15.5); 15.5's splash window was later removed, see that task's own note

Shared

ID	Epic	Status	Summary
5	Connector Store & SDK	⏳ In Progress	Public SDK, plugin template, examples, registry, in-app connector store
6	Monetization	⏳ In Progress	Paid connectors — platform IAP (mobile), direct sale (desktop); entitlement model done, IAP/direct-sale blocked on real accounts
