This folder contains the sequential build plan for developing Kalei. All features ship together in a single v1 release. The phases below represent an execution timeline for managing development complexity, not separate product phases.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Read in order:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. `phase-0-groundwork-and-dev-environment.md`
|
||
|
|
2. `phase-1-platform-foundation.md`
|
||
|
|
3. `phase-2-core-experience-build.md`
|
||
|
|
4. `phase-3-launch-readiness-and-hardening.md`
|
||
|
|
5. `phase-4-spectrum-and-scale.md`
|

|
|
|

|
|
## Build Timeline Overview
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These phases organize the work sequentially for manageable development and testing. All features — including Spectrum — are built toward a unified v1 launch.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Phase 0: Groundwork and Dev Environment
|
||
|
|
- Goal: stable tooling, accounts, repo standards, and local infrastructure.
|
||
|
|
- Phase 1: Platform Foundation
|
||
|
|
- Goal: production-quality backend skeleton, auth, entitlements, core data model.
|
||
|
|
- Phase 2: Core Experience Build
|
||
|
|
- Goal: ship Mirror, Turn, Lens, Ritual, Evidence Wall end-to-end.
|
||
|
|
- Phase 3: Launch Readiness and Hardening
|
||
|
|
- Goal: Spectrum integration, safety, billing, reliability, compliance, app store readiness.
|
||
|
|
- Phase 4: Post-Launch Scale
|
||
|
|
- Goal: analytics pipeline, feature enhancements, growth optimization, scaling controls.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Development Gate Rules
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Do not move to the next build phase until the current phase exit checklist is complete.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If a phase slips, reduce scope but do not skip quality gates for:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- security
|
||
|
|
- safety
|
||
|
|
- observability
|
||
|
|
- data integrity
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Product vs. Build Phases
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Important distinction:** These build phases are execution timelines, not product tiers. The product launches with all features (Mirror, Turn, Lens, Ritual, Evidence Wall, Guide, Spectrum) in a single v1 release. Free tier and Prism subscription tier have feature limits, but both versions of v1 include all features at launch.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Tooling policy
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These phase docs assume an open-source-first stack:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Gitea for source control and CI
|
||
|
|
- GlitchTip for error tracking
|
||
|
|
- PostHog self-hosted for product analytics
|
||
|
|
- Ollama (local) and vLLM (staging/prod) for open-weight model serving
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Platform exceptions remain for mobile distribution and push:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Apple App Store and Google Play billing/distribution APIs
|
||
|
|
- APNs and FCM delivery infrastructure
