Sovereign OS Roadmap

Current Phase

🟢 Phase 01 — Flashable Pi-hole Image POC

Next Priority

🟡 Milestone 01.1 — Appliance Update Foundation

Complete persistent-data restore, bounded retention, and production signing operations after the initial signed, rollback-capable update transaction passed Raspberry Pi qualification.

Subsequent Priorities

⚪ Milestone 01.2 — Local Conversation and Capabilities

Deliver a minimal Sovereign-owned conversation experience backed by provider-neutral local inference, a constrained capability executor, Pi-hole read operations, and opt-in web search through a self-hosted SearXNG instance.
