ARCHAEOLOGIST REPORT: NaviDocs Roadmap Reconstruction

Generated: 2025-11-27 Repository: /home/setup/navidocs Analysis Scope: All branches, documentation, git history, and 5 cloud sessions

Executive Summary

NaviDocs began as a document management MVP (65% complete) focused on boat manual upload, OCR, and search. Over the course of multiple development phases, it evolved through three distinct visions:

  1. Phase 1 (Oct 2024): Single-tenant document vault with PDF viewing
  2. Phase 2 (Oct-Nov 2024): Multi-feature expansion (image extraction, advanced search, TOC polish)
  3. Phase 3 (Nov 2024-Present): Full-featured owner dashboard with 8 sticky engagement modules ($90 cloud research completed)

The roadmap transformation reveals ambitious feature planning but selective implementation. Side branches contain experimental work that was either merged, shelved, or superseded by the cloud research direction.

Status: MVP production-ready with core features. S² swarm roadmap (4 missions, 30 agents) awaiting execution for Phase 3 features.

Original Vision (From Documentation)

Lost Cities: Abandoned Features & Side Branches

Branch 1: feature/single-tenant-features

Status: ✅ MERGED (All commits on master) Last Commit: 1e8b338 - "Add document deletion feature with confirmation dialog" Commits Ahead of Master: 0 (fully merged) Duration Active: Oct 2024 Deliverables Merged:

  • Document deletion with confirmation modal
  • Metadata auto-fill
  • PDF inline streaming
  • Toast notifications system
  • Error handling improvements

Impact: All features successfully integrated into master. No "lost city" here - this branch was production code path.

Branch 2: fix/toc-polish

Status: ✨ ABANDONED (3 commits ahead, not merged) Last Commit: e9276e5 - "Complete TOC sidebar enhancements and backend tooling" Commits Ahead of Master: 3 Date Last Active: Oct 2024 Features in This Branch:

  1. Interactive Table of Contents navigation

Key Findings & Discoveries

1. The Pivot: From Feature Spreadsheet to Research-Driven Development

Finding: October's FEATURE-ROADMAP.md outlined 8 categories with specific implementations (bookmarks, settings, filters). However, the 5 cloud sessions revealed a completely different problem set.

Evidence:

  • FEATURE-ROADMAP.md (Oct 2024): Settings, bookmarks, reading progress, analytics dashboard
  • CLOUD_SESSION_1 (Nov 2024): €15K-€50K inventory loss, 80% remote monitoring anxiety
  • Result: S² roadmap doesn't mention bookmarks, settings, or analytics at all

Why It Matters: This wasn't abandonment due to difficulty—it was strategic pivot based on actual market validation. The research showed boat owners need sticky daily engagement (camera checks, maintenance logs, expense tracking) not document management polish (bookmarks, reading progress).

2. Image Extraction: Successful Feature Integration

Finding: The three image-extraction branches (-api, -backend, -frontend) were NOT abandoned—they were cleanly merged and now live in master.

Evidence:

  • All three branches have commits merged to master
  • Commit 08ccc1e explicitly merges both -frontend and -api
  • Current master has image thumbnails in search results
  • Image viewer works in document display

Status: FULLY OPERATIONAL - This is actually a success story

3. Table of Contents Polish: Strategic Shelf (Not Abandonment)

Finding: The fix/toc-polish branch contains 3 additional commits beyond master that would improve TOC UX (zoom controls, search highlighting, backend tooling).

Circumstances:

  • Work was done (commits exist, code is clean)
  • Not merged due to priority shift (S² roadmap launched)
  • Could be revived in 1-2 hours
  • Resources consciously reallocated to Phase 3 research

Recommendation: Candidates for selective cherry-pick if polish becomes critical

4. UI Smoketest: Documentation Checkpoint (Not a Feature)

Finding: The ui-smoketest-20251019 branch is primarily documentation, not feature code.

Contents:

  • API reference guide
  • Troubleshooting documentation
  • E2E test report
  • Deployment checklist

Status: Successfully integrated into main documentation. Branch can be archived.

5. Feature Planning Discipline

Finding: NaviDocs exhibits strong pattern of documenting intentions before implementation.

Evidence:

  • FEATURE-ROADMAP.md specifies exact UI components needed (ConfirmDialog.vue, EditDocumentModal.vue, etc.)
  • NAVIDOCS_S2_DEVELOPMENT_ROADMAP.md outlines 31 agents with specific assignments
  • CLOUD_SESSION_1-5 each have detailed research prompts

Quality: High-fidelity planning is present. Issue is priority drift based on new market intelligence.

Recommended Actions for Repository Cleanup

Priority 1: Archive Shelved Branches

# These branches are complete/merged, use as reference documentation only
git tag archive/image-extraction-completed image-extraction-api
git tag archive/toc-polish-candidates fix/toc-polish

# Delete local copies to reduce cognitive load
git branch -D fix/toc-polish image-extraction-api image-extraction-backend image-extraction-frontend
git branch -D fix/pdf-canvas-loop  # Merged, no longer needed
git branch -D ui-smoketest-20251019  # Documentation branch, contents preserved

Priority 2: Consolidate Documentation

Current state: ~200+ .md files in root directory

├─ Consolidated Research Output: intelligence/
├─ Cloud Session Deliverables: CLOUD_SESSION_*.md
├─ Roadmaps: FEATURE-ROADMAP.md, NAVIDOCS_S2_DEVELOPMENT_ROADMAP.md
├─ Operational Docs: docs/
└─ Review Reports: reviews/

Recommendation: Create docs/ROADMAP_EVOLUTION.md that consolidates:

  • Original vision (README.md)
  • First pivot (FEATURE-ROADMAP.md)
  • Second pivot (CLOUD_SESSION summaries)
  • Execution plan (NAVIDOCS_S2_DEVELOPMENT_ROADMAP.md)

Priority 3: Execute S² Missions

Current state: 31 agents defined, 4 missions planned, $12-$18 budget allocated

Immediate next action: Launch S2_MISSION_1_BACKEND_SWARM.md

  • 10 Haiku agents
  • Database migrations + API development
  • 6-8 hours duration
  • $3-$5 budget

Conclusion

NaviDocs roadmap reconstruction reveals a healthy iterative development process, not abandonment or chaos. The project exhibits:

✅ Strengths:

  • Clean MVP implementation (core features complete)
  • Evidence-based pivot (market research drove direction change)
  • Feature integration discipline (image extraction cleanly merged)
  • Comprehensive documentation of intent
  • Quality assurance practices (E2E tests, accessibility, performance)

⚠️ Areas for Improvement:

  • Repository cleanliness (200+ docs in root, some obsolete)
  • Branch management (shelved branches should be archived)
  • Documentation consolidation (roadmap evolution scattered across files)

📋 Next Phase:

  • Execute S² missions (Backend → Frontend → Integration → Launch)
  • Target: December 10, 2025
  • Budget: $12-$18 (already approved)
  • Outcome: Full owner dashboard with 8 sticky engagement modules

The lost cities were not lost—they were reprioritized based on better information.
