Cosmos OSS Roadmap

Last updated: February 2026

Near-term (Q1 2026)

Finish repo sanitization
- ✅ Remove telemetry, proprietary scripts, Golive endpoints
- ✅ Rewrite documentation + OSS governance
- ☐ Wire up CI (lint + cargo test + tauri build) via GitHub Actions
Model UX polish
- Auto-detect missing models on first launch and prompt to download
- Add CLI command to prefetch models (pnpm tauri run download-models)
Docs & samples
- Add “sample media pack” to help testers verify indexing
- Record quickstart screencast showing model download + search

Tauri 2 migration
- ✅ Port config + runtime wiring to Tauri 2 (tauri.conf*.json, capabilities, plugin init).
- ✅ Replace deprecated @tauri-apps/api v1 imports with v2 modules/plugins.
- ☐ Clean up remaining Rust warnings and finalize DMG packaging workflow in CI.
Plugin infrastructure
- Turn the “App Store” into a manifest-driven registry (JSON descriptors + signatures) so the community can publish connectors.
- Provide an SDK for writing new plugins (commands + UI stubs).
Indexer improvements
- Parallel thumbnail generation with cancellation support.
- Pluggable vector providers (OpenCLIP, local Mistral, custom ONNX).

Workspace sync
- Optional background service that syncs embeddings between machines via user-provided storage (S3, R2, MinIO).
- End-to-end encryption using the existing SQLCipher utilities.
RAG-friendly API
- Expose a local gRPC/WebSocket API for sending search queries from other apps.
- Document schema + authentication (local tokens).
Ecosystem
- Publish verified community plugins each release.
- Host monthly contributor calls to plan features.
