# Development status without release promises.

M0 is complete on Windows and Linux. M1 is in development. Later milestones remain planned, and macOS stays unavailable until its verification gate.

## One source for status

The milestone table, platform matrix, home-page summary and machine-readable product record read the same status data. An empty artifact list means there is no download to advertise.

## Development notes document evidence

News entries explain completed gates, product boundaries and verified changes. They do not turn a planned feature or an internal build into a public release. The News page collects the initial notes in all four languages.

## Milestones

| Milestone | Status | Scope and evidence |
|---|---|---|
| M0 | Complete | Repository, contracts, Electron shell, design tokens, builders and the measured editor spike. The Windows and Linux M0 gates passed; macOS remains to verify. |
| M1 | In development | Library, Markdown folder books, binder, Write and Source modes, Read, search, word counts, localization scaffold and the native file helper. |
| M2 | Planned | Git save points, history, branches, comparison, restore, synchronization and conflict resolution. |
| M3 | Planned | Tool runner and toolchain manager, mdbindery check/build/preview and EPUB/PDF viewing, and mdrestyler scan/profile/check/book table. |
| M4 | Planned | Agent jobs, staged workspaces, operating-system confinement gates, approvals, checked proposals and an apply journal. |
| M5 | Planned | API model loop, skills host, routing, budgets and local-only mode. |
| M6 | Planned | Signed plugin host and the mdeditorial plugin for nonfiction workflows, stage runs, issues and author decisions. |
| M6b | Planned | The Mdnarra plugin for fiction canon, confined DOCX/EPUB import, scaffolds, draft rounds and story checks. |
| M7 | Planned | Onboarding, accessibility audit, reviewed locale catalogs, performance, documentation, the website and crash relay. |
| M8 | Planned | Version 1.0 with signing, signed builds, update channels and release notes after clean-machine checks on all three operating systems. |

## Available artifacts

No public artifact is currently listed. Download actions appear only after an artifact, its checksum and its limits are validated.

## Pre-release limits

Every build before 1.0 is an unsigned pre-release. Windows and Linux are in development; macOS is unavailable until its verification gate passes. M8 adds signing after the functional work and checks are complete.
