Distributor Follow-Up Roadmap

Current distributor notification behavior is documented in:

• Configuration reference
• Operations guide
• Troubleshooting
• App orchestration internals
• Distributor adapter internals
• Distributor integration contracts

This roadmap tracks only future work that is not implemented.

Deferred Enhancements

• Support a non-failing distributor notification policy such as failure_policy: warn.
• Upload additional generated artifacts, such as metadata, briefing snapshots, data packages, or preflight output.
• Poll distributor status after upload acceptance and expose downstream publication failures.
• Add durable retry queues for upload failures.
• Add distributor-specific CLI controls if operators need per-run behavior that configuration cannot cover cleanly.

Boundaries To Preserve

• Keep public CLI syntax stable unless a separate CLI design changes it.
• Keep managed workspace artifact paths and RunIDs stable.
• Keep distributor dependency types behind internal/adapters/distributor.
• Keep raw token values out of errors, CLI output, metadata, docs, examples, and persisted artifacts.
• Upload explicitly selected generated files; do not make distributor scan the weatherreporter workspace.
• Leave destination routing, Markdown-to-HTML transformation, public URLs, and nginx layout to distributor.
