## 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. --------- Co-authored-by: kaiserd <1684595+kaiserd@users.noreply.github.com>

| Quic Stabilization and removal of runtime dependencies |
|
false | Stabilize Quic so it can be used effectively by Nimbus and Waku and remove OpenSSL Support |
vac:p2p:ift:2025q4-nimlibp2p-quic
Maintain nim-libp2p through improvements, bug fixes, and user support
Description
In Q3 we discovered critical deficiencies in nim-quic, including runtime instability and excessive memory use during testing. As a result, we cannot safely deploy quic in production. in parallel, we identified OpenSSL as a long-term liability and will migrate to AWS-LC or Boringssl to reduce dependencies and improve maintainability.
Task List
Quic Stabilization
- fully qualified name:
vac:p2p:ift:2025q4-nimlibp2p-quic:stabilization - owner: vlado/rramos
- status: started
- start-date: 2025/10/01
- end-date: 2025/12/31
Description
Resolve runtime crashes, race conditions and excessive memory use in nim-quic. Target outcome is that quic can be enabled and run stably in both nimbus and waku test environments.
Schedule note: Dates reflect quarter bounds; update when actual timing is known.
Deliverables

Replace OpenSSL by AWS-LC / BoringSSL
- fully qualified name:
vac:p2p:ift:2025q4-nimlibp2p-quic:openssl-replacement - owner: rramos
- status: completed
- start-date: 2025/10/01
- end-date: 2025/10/15
Description
Replace the openssl dependency in nim-quic and related libraries with BoringSSL or AWS-LC. The goal is to reduce the need of runtime dependencies by statically linking any of these libraries
Schedule note: Dates reflect quarter bounds; update when actual timing is known.
Deliverables
- vacp2p/nim-ngtcp2#22 feat: compile boringssl using assembly files (except windows)
- vacp2p/nim-ngtcp2#21 feat: replace picotls by BoringSSL
- vacp2p/nim-quic#140 feat: use BoringSSL
- vacp2p/nim-libp2p#1782 chore: remove libp2p_quic_support compile flag, and openssl dependency
- vacp2p/nim-libp2p#1761 feat: use BoringSSL for certificate ops
