# Phase 1: ProjectManager Scope And Milestones
## Product Frame
- Product working name: `AgentCompany`
- Product type: cross-platform Electron desktop application
- Platform target: macOS, Windows, Linux
- Primary mode: local-first single-operator control plane
- Product goal: run a multi-agent company from one desktop application with explicit control over connectors, workspaces, tasks, runs, approvals, budgets, logs, and recovery
## Scope Source
- Existing Paperclip concept from `doc/GOAL.md`, `doc/PRODUCT.md`, `doc/SPEC-implementation.md`
- Rebuild constraints and product direction from `/Users/zacharyzhang/Documents/Github/paperclip/PRD.md`
## Supported MVP Domains
- Local profile with backup and restore
- Multi-company local data model
- Connector registry with capability matrix
- Agent registry and org tree
- Goals, projects, tasks, lineage
- Run orchestration with session persistence and live console
- Approval queue and governance actions
- Cost tracking and budget hard-stop behavior
- Activity timeline and run diagnostics
- Workspace and repository management
- Secret management with OS-backed encryption where available
- Packaging, signing configuration, updater wiring, and crash-safe recovery hooks
## Explicit Platform Decision
AgentCompany targets all three desktop platforms in the first implementation.
Platform-specific constraints that must be handled intentionally:
- macOS:
- standard traffic-light window controls
- `Cmd` modifiers in menus and shortcuts
- notification permission behavior
- notarization and Developer ID signing requirements
- `safeStorage` may block while Keychain access is resolved
- Windows:
- NSIS installer target
- `Ctrl` modifiers in menus and shortcuts
- AppUserModelID and toast notification expectations
- code signing certificate requirement for trusted distribution
- Linux:
- AppImage target with optional deb/rpm later
- tray behavior differs by desktop environment
- `safeStorage` backend may degrade to `basic_text`, so fallback vault behavior must stay explicit
## Delivery Milestones
### 1. Architecture Freeze
Feature scope:
- final process model
- profile/storage layout
- IPC contract surface
- connector capability model
- initial screen map
Dependencies:
- PRD audit
- Electron security research
- platform packaging research
Acceptance criteria:
- architecture docs complete
- privileged boundaries defined
- no renderer-to-Node direct access
### 2. Interactive Prototype
Feature scope:
- shell window
- top nav + sidebar + utility drawer
- onboarding flow
- fake local data rendered from real repositories/services
Dependencies:
- design system
- typed preload bridge
- renderer route skeleton
Acceptance criteria:
- navigable desktop shell
- keyboard navigation baseline
- console drawer and inspector patterns established
### 3. Internal Alpha
Feature scope:
- local SQLite profile
- connectors registry and environment checks
- agents/tasks/approvals/workspaces CRUD
- utility-process orchestrator
- real run launch for supported local connectors
Dependencies:
- repository layer
- connector host
- activity logging
Acceptance criteria:
- launch first task run from onboarding
- view live logs
- persist app state across restart
### 4. Cross-Platform Validation
Feature scope:
- window/menu differences
- path handling
- notifications
- backup/restore
- crash recovery path
Dependencies:
- packaged test builds
- platform QA checklist
Acceptance criteria:
- app boots and navigates on macOS, Windows, Linux
- core workflows verified on each target
### 5. Signed Beta Build
Feature scope:
- electron-builder config
- signing env handling
- updater channel wiring
- production logging paths
Dependencies:
- build pipeline
- signing assets
Acceptance criteria:
- signed distributables generated
- updater checks optional and disableable
- release metadata generated
### 6. Release Candidate
Feature scope:
- performance pass
- memory/resource leak pass
- e2e coverage for critical flows
- security audit fixes
Dependencies:
- alpha feedback
- perf instrumentation
Acceptance criteria:
- no known critical security issue
- no crash in scripted happy path flows
- startup and live console remain responsive under load
### 7. Production Release Readiness
Feature scope:
- release checklist
- support docs
- backup guidance
- known limitations register
Dependencies:
- verification results
- signing and packaging validation
Acceptance criteria:
- typecheck/build/tests pass or deviations are explicitly recorded
- security and packaging docs complete
- final manual QA checklist complete
## Feature Sequencing Rules
- Connector execution begins only after IPC and orchestration boundaries are documented.
- Renderer implementation begins only after screen structure and state ownership are defined.
- Packaging config begins early, but signing and updater activation stay behind environment gating.
- Kimi support is tracked explicitly. If its runtime contract remains lower capability than other first-class connectors, the UI must declare the downgrade rather than hiding it.
