# ROADMAP

Longer-term backlog, roughly ordered. An item moves to "Current state" in CLAUDE.md when picked up.

## Near term
- parakeet-asr `--memory` cap, shipped via the Reapply-patches action (guards against swap-thrash on very long audio).
- Controlled concurrency sweep of the audio endpoints in a quiet window — replace the reasoned in-flight cap (2, ceiling 3) with the measured knee.

## Audio quality
- Echo cancellation for dual-channel label-merge — removes the mic-bleed limit when the local user isn't wearing headphones.
- LLM "referee" pass for low-confidence label-merge speaker naming.

## Platform hardening
- Qdrant auth (API key) + scheduled snapshots/backups.
- Observability: request metrics + GPU-busy tracking, so load questions are answered from data instead of log archaeology.
- API-key auth on Spark Control — only if public (non-VPN) exposure is ever needed; current stance is LAN + split-tunnel VPN only.

## Throughput (only if audio load outgrows one GPU)
- Second audio worker / queueing layer; revisit which services share Spark 2.

## Dashboard
- Per-model configurable vLLM flags editable from the UI (today: edit `models.yaml` and rebuild).
- Spark host update actions (OS/driver) from the UI.
- Open WebUI link-out integration; richer per-service detail views.
