Metadata

Branch: docs/timeline-rebaseline-milestone-dates
Commit Message: docs(timeline): rebaseline milestone target dates to reflect current schedule
Milestone: (none — backlog, see note below)
Parent Epic: (none found — see orphan note below)

Background and Context

The docs/timeline.md file contains a Gantt chart with milestone target dates that are all in the past relative to the current date (April 6, 2026). The chart's today is 2026-04-05 marker (line 21) shows it was last updated on April 5, 2026, but the milestone target dates were not updated to reflect the actual current state of the project.

Per CONTRIBUTING.md: "Documentation updates are part of the definition of done for any task. Work is not complete until all affected documentation has been reviewed and updated to reflect the current state of the code." The timeline should reflect realistic, current milestone targets.

Current Behavior

All 7 milestone target dates in docs/timeline.md are in the past as of April 6, 2026:

Milestone	Target Date	Status
v3.0.0	Feb 15, 2026	PAST
v3.1.0	Feb 22, 2026	PAST
v3.2.0	Feb 26, 2026	PAST
v3.3.0	Mar 02, 2026	PAST
v3.4.0	Mar 06, 2026	PAST
v3.5.0	Mar 10, 2026	PAST
v3.6.0	Mar 27, 2026	PAST

The risk register (lines 401–409) shows CRITICAL risk for M3 and M4, and HIGH risk for M5–M8, with many open issues. The timeline has not been rebaselined to reflect the actual project schedule.

Code locations:

docs/timeline.md lines 130, 189, 220, 240, 272, 307, 332 — milestone target dates
docs/timeline.md lines 401–409 — risk register showing CRITICAL/HIGH risks

Expected Behavior

The timeline should be rebaselined with realistic, forward-looking target dates based on current completion percentages and open issue counts. Contributors should be able to read docs/timeline.md and understand the current project schedule at a glance.

Steps to Reproduce

Read docs/timeline.md
Note all milestone target dates are before April 6, 2026
Note the risk register shows CRITICAL risk for active milestones

Impact

The timeline documentation is misleading — it shows all milestones as overdue without providing updated target dates. This makes it impossible for contributors to understand the current project schedule.

Subtasks

Review current open/closed issue counts for each milestone (v3.2.0 through v3.8.0)
Calculate realistic target dates based on current velocity and completion percentages
Update docs/timeline.md Gantt chart milestone target dates (lines 130, 189, 220, 240, 272, 307, 332)
Update the today marker on line 21 to the date of the rebaseline
Update the risk register (lines 401–409) to reflect current risk levels
Review and update any other stale date references in docs/timeline.md
Run nox (all default sessions), fix any errors
Verify coverage >= 97% via nox -s coverage_report

Definition of Done

This issue is complete when:

All subtasks above are completed and checked off.
All milestone target dates in docs/timeline.md are set to future dates that reflect a realistic rebaselined schedule.
The risk register accurately reflects the current risk levels for each milestone.
A Git commit is created where the first line of the commit message matches the Commit Message in Metadata exactly, followed by a blank line, then additional lines providing relevant details about the implementation.
The commit is pushed to the remote on the branch matching the Branch in Metadata exactly.
The commit is submitted as a pull request to master, reviewed, and merged before this issue is marked done.
All nox stages pass
Coverage >= 97%

Backlog note: This issue was discovered during autonomous operation
on milestone v3.6.0. It does not block milestone completion and has been
placed in the backlog for human review and future milestone assignment.

Orphan note: No existing Epic related to documentation maintenance or timeline/project management was found in the repository. This issue requires manual linking to an appropriate parent Epic by a maintainer.

⚠️ Orphan Issue — Manual Linking Required

This issue was created during automated UAT testing and no suitable parent Epic was found in the repository. A search of all open Type/Epic issues was performed and none were found that relate to documentation maintenance, timeline management, or project scheduling.

Action required from a maintainer:

Either link this issue to an existing Epic that covers documentation/project management work, OR
Create a new Epic (e.g., "Epic: Documentation Maintenance & Timeline Rebaseline") and link this issue as a child that blocks that Epic.

Per CONTRIBUTING.md: "Orphan issues are not permitted. Every issue must be linked to a parent Epic."

To link this issue as a child of a parent Epic, open the parent Epic and add #3928 under "depends on", or open this issue and add the parent Epic under "blocks".
