Distributor Roadmap

Current distributor notification behavior is documented outside the roadmap:

• Configuration reference
• Operations guide
• Troubleshooting
• Distributor adapter internals

This file tracks future distributor-related work only.

Deferred Enhancements

• Add a supported warning-only notification policy.
• Include selected non-report artifacts in uploaded bundles.
• Poll distributor run status after upload acceptance.
• Persist upload retry state across process restarts.
• Add explicit CLI controls for distributor behavior.

Non-Goals Without A Separate Design

• Do not make distributor scan the weatherreporter workspace.
• Do not move destination routing into weatherreporter.
• Do not move Markdown-to-HTML transformation into weatherreporter.
• Do not store raw bearer tokens in configuration files.

Required Constraints For Future Work

• Distributor package types stay inside internal/adapters/distributor.
• Weatherreporter submits explicit source bundles built from generated files.
• Optional --out and --out-dir copies remain operator conveniences, not canonical upload sources.
• Secret values stay out of errors, logs, CLI output, metadata, examples, and documentation.
