Current baseline
Source-first forms, reports, dictionaries, CRUD, dynamic web, business objects, classes, table/class mapper, project targets, help, signing plans and IDE/compiler/VM integration hooks.
Roadmap
From source-backed contracts to production behavior.
Safire has moved from isolated IDE/proof work into a coherent source-first RAD architecture. The next phase is deeper compiler, VM, runtime, IDE and deployment implementation.
Current limitation
Many features are source-backed and proof-backed contracts. They still need deeper compiler lowering, VM execution, protocol implementation, IDE polish and production runtime depth.
Next product push
Dynamic Web CRUD Runtime Preview V1 should come after the language/compiler/VM/IDE integration work is safely aligned with the latest source snapshot.

What matters most
- Keep source as the application truth.
- Keep SafireIDE productive but not imprisoning.
- Keep AI under developer control.
- Keep class and data models business-friendly.
- Keep build, distribution and signing explicit per target.
- Keep web/server work target-aware and source-backed.
Next engineering priorities
- Deepen compiler and VM behavior for classes, properties, methods and events.
- Turn runtime object contracts into real protocol and threading implementations.
- Make SafireBuild target-aware for configurations and distribution profiles.
- Add IDE editors/panels for classes, targets, help, signing and web components.
- Return to the Safire Dynamic Web CRUD Runtime Preview.
