Roadmap and Non-Goals

This roadmap is intentionally short. hpc-compose is not trying to become a general-purpose orchestrator.

Authoring Ergonomics

• make the supported Compose subset easier to discover from examples and docs
• keep validate, inspect, config, and render as the fast path for authoring confidence
• keep refining starter templates and example selection (now surfaced through examples recommend, search, and coverage) before adding more surface area

Runtime Visibility

• make tracked jobs easier to reconnect to and reason about
• keep improving status, ps, watch, stats, and artifact export for real cluster debugging
• prefer inspectable generated state over hidden orchestration behavior

Cluster Compatibility

• expand confidence on more Linux cluster environments before broadening scope
• keep support policy explicit through the support matrix
• improve docs and examples around shared storage, Pyxis, and Enroot expectations

If your workflow falls outside this roadmap, that is useful feedback. Open an adoption feedback issue with your cluster type, workload type, and main friction point.
