docs: translate the roadmap and frame it for an outside reader
roadmap.md is linked from the README table, so it is a page strangers land on.
Translated in full, with a note up front that none of it is a commitment:
there are no dates, the order is a recommendation, and an item can be dropped
once its plan is written. The note also points at product.md for the opposite
question — what the project deliberately will not do — so absence from the
roadmap is not read as a silent plan.

The model assigned to inbound-relay is dropped from the item; model routing
belongs in development.md, not in a statement of direction.

The README row described the file as internal and Russian. It is now neither.

# Roadmap: open work (1.x+)
**Status:** a working tracker of extensions to the v1.0 boundary, each taken up
only after explicit agreement ([product.md](product.md),
[.cursor/rules/agent-rules.mdc](../.cursor/rules/agent-rules.mdc)). Detailed
design lives in [plans/](plans/). Items marked `candidate` need an OK before
any code is written.
**Reading this from outside the project:** nothing here is a commitment or a
release promise. There are no dates, the order is a recommendation rather than
a schedule, and an item can be dropped or reshaped once its plan is written.
What the project *will not* do is a separate question, answered in
[product.md](product.md) — an item's absence from this file does not mean it is
planned but unlisted.
**Versioning:** SemVer MINOR in the **1.x+** line by default (`1.1.0`…), as long
as defaults and migrations stay compatible with `1.0.0`. A major `2.x` only for
an explicit break.
**Process:** [development.md](development.md). The history of closed phases is
in `git log` and [CHANGELOG.md](../CHANGELOG.md).

## Index
| ID | Topic | Status | Plan |
|---|---|---|---|
| web-split | Splitting `internal/web` | **agreed** | [plans/web-split.md](plans/web-split.md) |
| domain-admin | Domain administrator role | **agreed** | [plans/domain-admin.md](plans/domain-admin.md) |
| inbound-relay | Inbound relay (backup-MX / forwarding) | **agreed** | [plans/inbound-relay.md](plans/inbound-relay.md) |
| contributing | `CONTRIBUTING.md` | candidate | — |
**Recommended order** (not binding): **web-split → domain-admin →
inbound-relay** — first the package split, then role-wide authorisation, then
the new vertical slice of the inbound relay. Deviating is allowed; there are no
hard phases here.
After a context reset, pick an item marked `agreed` or `in progress`, then work
the checklist in its linked plan.
---
## inbound-relay
**Goal:** optional acceptance of mail on port 25 for explicitly configured
domains, forwarded to an upstream (backup-MX / relay-forwarder). Off by default
(`INBOUND_RELAY_ENABLE=false`); without the flag the outbound path is
unchanged.
**Boundary:** an extension of v1.0 — [product.md](product.md) excludes inbound
mail and mailboxes. This is relay/forward, not IMAP/POP3/webmail; an anti-spam
engine stays outside the image, only the attachment point is provided.
**Done when:** see the criteria in
[plans/inbound-relay.md](plans/inbound-relay.md).
**Dependencies / risks:** a finished outbound path; open relay and backscatter;
a wider attack surface (port 25 accepting mail).
**Order:** recommended after [web-split](plans/web-split.md) and
[domain-admin](plans/domain-admin.md).
**Version:** target bump `1.x`; `2.x` possible — to be settled once the
implementation lands.
---
## domain-admin
**Goal:** a role with access to one or several assigned domains (the list is
set by the global administrator) — applications, DKIM/DNS, and the send log for
each of them; without global operations (adding domains, full backup, the
queue, `mail.log`).
**Boundary:** an extension of v1.0 — [product.md](product.md) fixes a single
administrator. Not a second all-powerful admin, but limited access to the
assigned domains (one or several).
**Done when:** see [plans/domain-admin.md](plans/domain-admin.md).
**Dependencies / risks:** a users table, the role in the session, authorisation
in every handler, setup and backup. **Order:** recommended after
[web-split](plans/web-split.md), before
[inbound-relay](plans/inbound-relay.md).
**Version:** `1.x` MINOR, given a compatible migration of the current
administrator into a global one.
---
## web-split
**Goal:** deliberately split `internal/web` (or settle on keeping the package
flat) before it grows under inbound-relay and domain-admin.
**Boundary:** an internal refactor; the panel's behaviour for the operator does
not change.
**Done when:** the package is split along the chosen scheme, or it is settled
that it stays flat — see [plans/web-split.md](plans/web-split.md).
**Dependencies / risks:** exporting a package-private API. **Order:**
recommended **first** among the agreed features (before domain-admin and
inbound-relay).
**Version:** `1.x`; on its own it does not force a break.
---
## contributing
**Goal:** `CONTRIBUTING.md` in the root — the dev loop, the checks to run
before a PR, the commit protocol; [development.md](development.md) links to it
rather than repeating it.
**Boundary:** process documentation; worth writing once there is an external
flow of PRs.
**Done when:** the file is in the root and development.md does not duplicate
it.
**Dependencies / risks:** with a single developer and no PRs, this is low
priority.
**Version:** no bearing on semver.
