- Roadmap Updates for all units (except DST who did it in separate PR)
- fixes/updates to the q4 roadmap to make it more consistent
- small updates to the roadmap validator
TODO:
- BI tasks still need some updates but would need to discuss it first
with their lead

## Summary
- Introduce a standalone Python roadmap validator with a CLI entry
point, modular validation pipeline, and GitHub Actions wiring so roadmap
content can be linted locally and in CI.
- Provide reusable validation primitives for path resolution,
front-matter parsing, identity checks, task parsing, catalog
enforcement, and template adherence.
- Document usage, configuration, and workflow behaviour to make the
validator approachable for contributors.
## Validator Details
- **Core tooling**
- Added the `tools/roadmap_validator/` package with `validate.py` (CLI),
`validator.py` (orchestration), and helper modules (`tasks.py`,
`identity.py`, `paths.py`, `constants.py`, `issues.py`).
- CLI supports directory/file targets, skips default filenames, emits
GitHub annotations, and integrates optional substring filtering
- README explains features, environment variables, and development
guidance.
- **Catalog and template enforcement**
- `catalog.py` verifies each allowed content unit has `index.md` and
`preview.md`, confirms roadmap entries appear under the proper
quarter/area, and flags stale or missing links.
- `templates.py` enforces template basics: front matter completeness,
`## Description` ordering/content, template placeholder cleanup, and
task section detection.
- **Task validation**
- `tasks.py` checks required metadata (`owner`, `status`, `start-date`,
`end-date`), date formats, populated descriptions/deliverables, TODO
markers, tangible deliverable heuristics, and `fully-qualified-name`
prefixes.
- **Workflow integration**
- `.github/workflows/roadmap-validator.yml` runs the validator on pushes
and manual dispatch, installs dependencies, scopes validation to changed
Markdown, and surfaces findings via GitHub annotations.
## Existing Roadmap Updates
- Normalised 2025q4 commitments across Web, DST, QA, SC, and other units
by filling in missing descriptions, deliverables, schedule notes,
recurring task statuses, and maintenance tasks.
- Added tasks where absent, removed remaining template placeholders,
aligned fully qualified names, and ensured roadmap files conform to the
new validator checks.
## Testing
```bash
python tools/roadmap_validator/validate.py *2025q4*
```
CI: `Roadmap Validator` workflow runs automatically on pushes/dispatch.

The fetchData function suffer from a race condition. If the function is
called before the promise finishes, it will result in another pair of
HTTP request. This does not only make the function useless but
Actually, it makes it harmful as the data might be redownloaded twice.
Now fetchData is not a function but rather the promise by itself.
Previous callers are expected to await the variable instead, this
should be not concern as awaiting a promise multiple time in
JavaScript is completely safe.
