Platform Status

This page is intentionally blunt. It reflects the current codebase, not the aspirational end state.

Maturity table

ServiceStatus
HeadwatersStrong backend shape, suitable for frontend implementation
FabricControl-plane core, now on native inbound mTLS with real node-cert brokering
LedgerStructurally strong, native inbound mTLS, still needs more operational hardening
ConduitSuitable for frontend implementation, still needs deeper migration/trust hardening
CascadiaReal activation and renewal certificate flow exists, further runtime hardening remains
BreakwaterLocal issuer exists, full PKI/gateway/audit/revocation model still incomplete
WeirStill under active hardening; durable persistence and deeper real-integration coverage remain

What is ready soonest

  • Headwaters frontend
  • Conduit frontend
  • Shared docs and architecture references

What is still unsafe to pretend is finished

  • Full Breakwater PKI and gateway behavior
  • Final Cascadia trust/fallback cleanup
  • Weir durable state and complete real integration flows
  • Cross-service NATS durability guarantees
