fbarbu15 845d6b8dcd Chore/roadmap validator (#318)
## 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.

nim-libp2p IPv6 support
2025q4
p2p
ift
false add first-class IPv6 support across transports

vac:p2p:ift:2025q4-nimlibp2p-ipv6

Enable IPv6 support

Description

Enable IPv6 in nim-libp2p end-to-end so users of the library can run dual-stack when needed. Scope covers transports (tcp/quic), address handling (multiaddr, identify), and ci/test infra.

Task List

Core transports (tcp/quic)

  • fully qualified name: vac:p2p:ift:2025q4-nimlibp2p-ipv6:transport
  • owner: rramos
  • status: not started
  • start-date: 2025/10/01
  • end-date: 2025/12/31

Description

Add IPv6 listen/dial for tcp and quic. Might require changes in chronos

Schedule note: Dates reflect quarter bounds; update when actual timing is known.

Deliverables

  • nodes can listen on /ip6 and accept inbound requests
  • dialer can dial /ip6 addresses

addresses & identity

  • fully qualified name: vac:p2p:ift:2025q4-nimlibp2p-ipv6:addresses
  • owner: rramos
  • status: not started
  • start-date: 2025/10/01
  • end-date: 2025/12/31

Description

Add IPv6 support in the switch when specifying listening multiaddresses containing ip6 component. Ensure ip6 addresses are advertised in identify. Implement measures to handle duplicated IPs in peerstore/addresses being listened to (i.e 192.0.2.42 vs 2001:db8::1234).

Schedule note: Dates reflect quarter bounds; update when actual timing is known.

Deliverables

  • Identify advertises correct /ip6 addrs; observed addrs tracked per transport

Testing, Interop & CI

  • fully qualified name: vac:p2p:ift:2025q4-nimlibp2p-ipv6:testing
  • owner: rramos
  • status: not started
  • start-date: 2025/10/01
  • end-date: 2025/12/31

Description

Ensure IPv6 support and ensure there are no regressions in IPv4 support. Add test units demonstrating the support, and check that interop against other implementations is achieved

Schedule note: Dates reflect quarter bounds; update when actual timing is known.

Deliverables

  • Test units focusing on IPv6
  • Interop tests against other implementations that support IPv6
