  • URL-based harness composition — resolved scripts, skills, and declarative resources from URL-referenced base harnesses (#2525, #2690, #2707)

Now

What we are actively building and shipping. Categories are ordered by priority from the July 2026 planning session.

BYOA

Making fullsend a platform teams can adopt incrementally and extend freely. This is the team's highest priority for July — driven by user demand for custom agents, better configuration, and simplified adoption.

The custom agent interface needs to be clean enough that replatforming an existing agent is straightforward, not a rewrite. Easy local agent runs let users test-drive custom agents and skills before wiring them into CI. An agent catalog (an "awesome list" style repository for discovering and sharing agent definitions) will make the ecosystem more visible and navigable. Shareable config profiles let teams preconfigure a deployment with a single URL. Scribe agent enhancements address multiple outstanding user requests and will move to the agents repo as part of the re-platforming effort.

Examples of work that could move this forward:

  • Harness triggers and dynamic agent dispatching (#2565)
  • Major config knobs for agents — making agents more adaptable to user preferences (#2832)
  • Scribe agent enhancements and migration to agents repo (#895, #222, #1674)
  • Re-platform default agents as harness-driven configs (#1986, #1985)
  • Harness definition architecture and config schema (#173, #179, #235)
  • Skills loading policy and org/repo inheritance (#237, #236)
  • Selective agent enablement in config (#581, #604)
  • Authorization model for agent invocations (#1662, #1687)
  • Provider and profile resolution from URL-referenced bases (#2672)
  • Easy local agent runs — test drive custom agents and skills locally (#1963, #595)

Infrastructure

Platform infrastructure, technical debt reduction, and runtime improvements. This category consolidates what was previously split across "Agent Capabilities & Runtime", "Upgrades & Versioning", and "New Forges" from the June plan — the team recognized these share enough infrastructure overlap to manage together.

Key themes: deprecating per-org installs in favor of a unified approach, version pinning and automatic upgrades, OpenShell improvements (Go SDK migration, API extensibility, Vertex API authorization fixes), running agents outside GitHub Actions (GitLab, Tekton infrastructure), and OpenCode alignment with the global engineering working group.

Examples of work that could move this forward:

  • Drop per-org installs — deprecate and remove in favor of unified install (#2454, #2302)
  • Version pinning and automatic upgrades (#1933, #2454)
  • OpenShell improvements — simplification, Go SDK migration, API extensibility, Vertex authorization fixes (#2692)
  • GitLab support — webhook bridge, GitLab CI as trigger/coordination layer (#1964)
  • Forge-portable harness schema (#1605)
  • OpenCode alignment with global engineering working group (#1260, #1935)
  • Refactor runAgent for testability (#2831)

Observability

Understanding what agents cost, how they perform, and where they silently fail. This is a new category for July — elevated because users are increasingly asking for visibility into agent behavior and costs.

A key problem surfaced in the planning session: agents can silently repeat the same mistakes across separate runs with no mechanism to surface previous failures. Cost measurement and aggregation will help teams understand their agent usage. Telemetry phase 2 & 3 build on existing tracing foundations to provide deeper operational insight.

Examples of work that could move this forward:

  • Cost measurement and aggregation — per-repo and per-agent token/cost tracking (#2668)
  • Telemetry phase 2 & 3 — OpenTelemetry Go SDK for trace export (#2780), trace chain integrity (#2779)
  • Agent error visibility — handling is_error:true responses from runtimes (#2786)
  • OIDC token staleness when sandbox setup exceeds timeout (#2783)
  • Release summary bot for automated changelog visibility (#2778)

Testing

How we gain confidence in what we ship. Building comprehensive testing infrastructure across behavioral tests, functional tests, evaluation frameworks, and staging environments.

The team identified a gap between how e2e tests work (vendored files, per-commit tricks) and how users actually use fullsend. Stage tests running post-merge in a staging environment will close this gap and provide more realistic validation.

Examples of work that could move this forward:

  • Behavior tests for deterministic code paths — tests that validate without running LLMs (#346)
  • Evaluation frameworks — SWE-bench pilot, Harbor for code-agent outcome eval (#2510)
  • Statistical significance layer for non-deterministic evals (#2460)
  • E2e test improvements — bot authorization fixes, auth alignment (#2641, #2772, #2489)
  • Trustworthiness evidence — rework rate tracking, review outcome analysis (#295)

External Partnerships

Making fullsend visible, understandable, and usable by teams outside the core group. This category combines documentation improvements with active partnership engagement — recognizing that docs quality and external adoption are tightly linked.

Multiple teams are actively using or evaluating fullsend: OpenShell, Ansible, TektonCD, and potential enterprise partnerships. The Tekton CI team is hitting GitHub Actions resource limits, making non-GHA execution an increasingly relevant concern. Documentation improvements are a direct response to user feedback — people are adopting fullsend but struggling with the docs. The team plans to schedule screen-share sessions with users to observe how they interpret documentation and identify friction points.

Examples of work that could move this forward:

  • Docs site experiments content and public mint docs (#2757)
  • Document maintainer onboarding process (#2653)
  • JIRA data leakage risk documentation for public repos (#2513)

JIRA

Connecting fullsend to JIRA — extending the trigger model beyond forge events into project management. This is focused specifically on making fullsend agents work with JIRA data and workflows.

The scope covers JIRA support across all default agents (not just triage), credential management for JIRA service accounts, and the possibility of a dedicated mint for JIRA using Workload Identity Federation. The plan is to start with public JIRA projects to avoid private data exposure.

Examples of work that could move this forward:

  • JIRA support for all default agents — triage (#2264), code (#2265), prioritize (#2266), retro (#2267), review (#2268), refine (#1341)
  • JIRA trigger model (#2263)
  • Mint for JIRA — Workload Identity Federation for JIRA service accounts (#2269)

Related: downstream-upstream, intent-representation

mint

Extracting, hardening, and operationalizing the token mint as a standalone service. The mint is already fairly standalone in the codebase — this work completes the separation, adds proper test coverage, and moves it to production infrastructure. Longer-term goals include extracting the mint into its own repository and migrating mint infrastructure to a dedicated GCP project separate from dev/inference.

Examples of work that could move this forward:

  • Finish public mint work — implementing ADR 0059 public mint mode (#2773, #2073)
  • mint delete command for infrastructure teardown (#2680)
  • Token caching with safe refresh across nested CLI invocations (#2542)
  • Consolidate agent role lists and permission definitions (#2449)
  • Evaluate database-backed persistence for mint identity (#2564)
  • Mint service decomposition criteria (#2437)
  • Deployment suggestions and health check capabilities (#2438)

Agent Data Access

Giving agents access to data beyond the repository — JIRA, GitLab, Slack, Google Drive, and multi-repo context. This is distinct from the JIRA category (which focuses on JIRA-specific workflows) and addresses the broader challenge of connecting agents to external data sources securely.

The team recognized this requires more than just adding skills: it involves credential management, network policies, service accounts, and context-aware loading for data sources like JIRA, GitLab, Slack, and Google Drive. ADRs are needed before implementation to establish patterns rather than accumulating ad-hoc integrations.

Examples of work that could move this forward:

  • Multi-repo context loading and cross-repo changes (#298, #401, #1276)
  • Secretless deployment and credential management strategies (#1952, #1604)
  • Least-privilege path for workflow file changes (#2822)
  • Human-gated permission adjustments (#2821, #2829)

Next

What follows once the current work stabilizes.

Exploration

Ideas the team is actively thinking about but not yet committed to building. These received no votes in the July planning session but are tracked for future consideration.

  • Persistent agent memories — agents retain context and history across sessions, enabling learning from past mistakes. The team agreed this must be traceable and transparent to humans — hidden memory is rejected. Security concerns around persistent threats through memory injection need resolution before this moves forward.
  • Auto-merge (tiny percentage) — beginning to reason about where auto-merge is safe, starting with a very small percentage of changes where trustworthiness evidence supports it. Related: autonomy-spectrum, code-review, ADR 0062 (#2791)

Cross-forge orchestration

Coordinating agent work across multiple forges (GitHub + GitLab, or multiple GitHub orgs) when a single logical change spans organizational boundaries.

Later

Problems we are actively thinking about but not yet building. These are informed by the problem documents and will move into Next as the platform matures.

Kubernetes and OpenShift execution

When the sandbox runtime matures to run practically in Kubernetes and OpenShift, fullsend should support that as an execution environment. This also opens the door to triggering agent workflows from sources beyond GitHub and GitLab — decoupling the agent runtime from the forge.

Security hardening

Ongoing work informed by the security threat model:

  • Prompt injection detection and andon cord (#172, #174)
  • Org guardrail protection (#84)
  • Workflow security scanning (#159)
  • Agent authority modeling (#877)
  • Separate permission profiles per run phase (#2826)
  • Privileged operations only in deterministic automation (#2828)

Human factors and governance

As autonomous contribution scales, the organizational questions become unavoidable: domain ownership shifts, review fatigue, contributor motivation, and who has authority to make binding decisions about agent behavior.

Production feedback loops

Closing the loop between production signals and what agents work on next. Platform organizations generate structured execution data that can drive triage and prioritization without waiting for humans to notice failures.

Agent attestations

Cryptographic attestation of agent-produced artifacts, enabling consumers to verify what agent produced a change, under what policy, and with what inputs.

Foundation (April–May 2026)

Fullsend reached MVP in April 2026 and scaled through May. The platform can be installed at the org level, enroll repositories, and run a full autonomous SDLC loop: triage issues, produce code and tests, review PRs, apply fixes from review feedback, and file retrospective improvement proposals. The core agent suite ships as default agents and is designed to be general, extensible, and replaceable.

What this phase established:

  • Sandboxed runner architecture — agents execute in isolated environments with controlled access to forge credentials and repository content
  • Default agent suite — default agents that enable an end-to-end bugfix workflow: triage, code, review, fix, and retro
  • Binary autonomy model — per-repo opt-in, CODEOWNERS enforcing human approval on protected paths
  • The repo is the coordinator — branch protection, CODEOWNERS, and status checks replace a coordinator agent
  • Trust derives from repository permissions, not agent identity
  • Fullsend is using fullsend — the platform dogfoods its own agent workflows
  • 20+ Konflux repositories running fullsend for bug triage, code production, and review

Foundation (done)

Fullsend reached MVP in April 2026 and scaled through May. The platform can be installed at the org level, enroll repositories, and run a full autonomous SDLC loop: triage issues, produce code and tests, review PRs, apply fixes from review feedback, and file retrospective improvement proposals. The core agent suite ships as OOTB (out-of-the-box) agents and is designed to be general, extensible, and replaceable.

  • 20+ Konflux repositories running fullsend for bug triage, code production, and review

Now

What we are actively building and shipping.

Adoption and extensibility

Teams use fullsend as a platform — plugging in their own agents, skills, and orchestration while inheriting the platform's security model, sandbox isolation, and coordination layer. At the same time, teams adopt fullsend incrementally — enabling only the capabilities they want without committing to the full workflow or extensive infrastructure setup.

The BYOA interface needs to be clean enough that replatforming an existing agent is straightforward, not a rewrite. Prospective users are requesting simplified onboarding, selective agent enablement, and a clear authorization model that prevents non-maintainers from triggering agent workloads without team approval.

Examples of work that could move this forward:

  • Harness definition architecture and config schema (#173, #179, #235)
  • Re-platform default agents as harness-driven configs (#1986, #1985)
  • Skills loading policy and org/repo inheritance (#237, #236)
  • Forge-portable harness schema (#1605, #1848)
  • Per-repo workflow definitions (#69)
  • Secretless deployment via Workload Identity Federation (#1952, #1604)
  • Per-repo installation (adopting without org-wide configuration) (#727, #1954)
  • Reducing infrastructure requirements during onboarding (#1216, #1145)
  • Selective agent enablement in config (#581, #604)
  • Authorization model for agent invocations (#1662, #1687)

Quality protections

Build up the testing, staging, and evaluation infrastructure that gives us confidence in what we ship. Evals, behavioral tests, functional tests, dedicated staging environments, and improved end-to-end coverage — making it harder for regressions to slip through and easier to verify that agents behave correctly.

Examples of work that could move this forward:

  • Behavioral test suites with dummy runtimes (#346, #1982)
  • Agent output evaluation frameworks (#73, #499, #1682)
  • Layered and standalone distribution modes for testability (#1954)
  • Expanded e2e coverage with authorization gate testing (#1983)
  • Static analysis layer for testing agents (#1826)

Agent capabilities

Improving what agents can do and the runtime they operate in. This covers cross-repo workflows, better context provisioning, onboarding reliability, runtime enhancements, and ongoing improvements to individual agents. Partnering with the OpenShell team to advance the agentic SDLC is part of this work.

Examples of work that could move this forward:

Versioning and pinning

Define and implement a strategy for versioning workflows, agents, and dependencies so that releases are deterministic and upgradable. An ADR is in progress to evaluate options before implementation begins. Referring to resources by digest enables more deterministic pinning; agents may eventually move to separate repositories for independent versioning.

Examples of work that could move this forward:

  • Pin workflows to the version being installed (#1933)
  • Schema versioning for harness definitions (#235, #179)
  • Renovate automation for dependency pins (#773, #544)
  • Plugin repository approach for independent agent versioning (#631)
  • Build from source fallback when no published release exists (#2026)

Forge portability

GitHub is the starting point, not the boundary. GitLab support requires solving webhook-to-pipeline translation, MR-event security models, and forge interface abstraction. This work continues incrementally alongside higher-priority items.

Related: gitlab-implementation

Examples of work that could move this forward:

Feature refinement

Agents participate in feature definition — not just bugfixes. When ideas are filed, agents can autonomously produce feature definitions, ask clarifying questions, and prepare material for refinement ceremonies. Teams still own the definition; agents accelerate it. Community members are already exploring JIRA integration independently — we should engage them and build on their work rather than starting from scratch.

Examples of work that could move this forward:

  • Intent representation and downstream-upstream linking (#1336, #802)
  • Connecting feature specs to implementable units (#1337, #1342)

Related: downstream-upstream, intent-representation

Next

What follows once the current work stabilizes.

Trustworthiness evidence

We accumulate evidence about the quality of agent-produced code and reviews. This informs future decisions about expanding agent autonomy. The question is not whether to trust agents more, but where and when the evidence supports it.

This area is thin on dedicated tracking issues — most related work is scattered across review agent improvements. Filing focused issues for measurement and evidence collection would help.

Examples of work that could move this forward:

  • Rework rate tracking for agent-produced PRs
  • Review outcome analysis (accepted vs. discarded) (#295)
  • Qualitative feedback collection from pilot teams

Standalone local runtime

A standalone runtime that allows agents to run locally, reducing dependence on GitHub Actions and providing a flexible execution alternative for teams hitting usage limits or needing offline capabilities.

Examples of work that could move this forward:

  • Standalone dev mint server without GCP dependency (#1963)
  • Hosted mint defaults to reduce infrastructure requirements (#1145, #2073)
  • Local harness invocation support (#173)
  • Self-hosted and network boundary support (#595, #918)

JIRA-driven workflows

With feature refinement establishing the pattern, extend agent capabilities deeper into project management — picking up stories, refining acceptance criteria, and linking implementation back to tracking. This extends fullsend's trigger model beyond forge events into project management systems.

Auto-merge readiness

With trustworthiness evidence accumulating, we begin reasoning about where auto-merge is safe — identifying specific codepaths or repositories where the evidence supports it and defining what the threshold looks like.

Related: autonomy-spectrum, code-review

Examples of work that could move this forward:

  • Defining auto-merge criteria per repo or codepath (#1574, #1772)
  • Monitoring rework rates against thresholds
  • CODEOWNERS-based scope boundaries for auto-merge

Later

Problems we are actively thinking about but not yet building. These are informed by the problem documents and will move into Next as the platform matures.

Kubernetes and OpenShift execution

When the sandbox runtime matures to run practically in Kubernetes and OpenShift, fullsend should support that as an execution environment. This also opens the door to triggering agent workflows from sources beyond GitHub and GitLab — decoupling the agent runtime from the forge.

  • Prompt injection detection and andon cord (#172, #174)
  • Org guardrail protection (#84)
  • Workflow security scanning (#159)
  • Agent authority modeling (#877)

Human factors and governance

As autonomous contribution scales, the organizational questions become unavoidable: domain ownership shifts, review fatigue, contributor motivation, and who has authority to make binding decisions about agent behavior.

  • Active engagement with additional upstream organizations exploring adoption

Now

What we are actively building and shipping.

Secretless deployment (WIF)

Replace long-lived credentials with Workload Identity Federation. This is a prerequisite for per-repo deployment and a security improvement for existing org-level installs.

Per-repo deployment

Org-level installation is appropriate for some organizations but inappropriate for others. Per-repo deployment lets individual repositories adopt fullsend without requiring org-wide configuration — lowering the barrier for new organizations and enabling adoption in orgs where org-level access is impractical.

MVP feedback iteration

Incorporating feedback from early adopters. The issue backlog reflects this ongoing work across all agents:

OpenShell improvements

Pulling in new OpenShell features as they become available, including package-based installation (#878) and host-side API server capabilities (#879, #880, #881).

Next

What follows once the current work stabilizes.

Bring Your Own Agent (BYOA)

The OOTB agents are designed to be good defaults, but many teams will want super-custom, super-bespoke agentic workflows that we could never anticipate. BYOA enables teams to use fullsend as a framework — plugging in their own agents, skills, and orchestration while inheriting the platform's security model, sandbox isolation, and coordination layer.

This is a foundational capability. It transforms fullsend from a fixed agent suite into an extensible platform.

  • Harness definition architecture (#173, #101)
  • Skills loading policy and org/repo inheritance (#237, #236)
  • Per-repo workflow definitions (#69)
  • Config schema and versioning (#179, #235)

Feature refinement

Extending the SDLC footprint beyond bug triage and code production into feature work: refining feature requests, breaking them into implementable units, prioritizing them, and linking that process to upstream agentic development.

Auto-merge trustworthiness

Monitoring rework rates and review outcomes to build confidence in auto-merge for specific codepaths and repositories. The question is not whether to auto-merge but where and when the evidence supports it.

Later

Problems we are actively thinking about but not yet building. These are informed by the problem documents and will move into Next as the platform matures.

GitLab support

GitHub is the starting point, not the boundary. GitLab support requires solving webhook-to-pipeline translation, MR-event security models, and forge interface abstraction. The architectural groundwork is laid in ADR-0028.

Kubernetes and OpenShift execution

When OpenShell matures to run practically in Kubernetes and OpenShift, fullsend should support that as an execution environment. This also opens the door to triggering agent workflows from sources beyond GitHub and GitLab — decoupling the agent runtime from the forge.

JIRA-driven agent workflows

Agents that work directly off JIRA issues — picking up stories, refining acceptance criteria, and linking implementation back to tracking. This extends fullsend's trigger model beyond forge events into project management systems.

Cross-run memory

Agents are stateless by design, but they rediscover the same lessons on every run. The hard problem is preserving useful operational knowledge without creating a second, less-reviewed instruction channel.

Production feedback loops

Closing the loop between production signals and what agents work on next. Platform organizations generate structured execution data that can drive triage and prioritization without waiting for humans to notice failures.

Operational observability

How do the humans operating an autonomous software factory understand what it is doing, debug it when it goes wrong, and improve it over time?

Security hardening

Ongoing work informed by the security threat model:

  • Prompt injection detection and andon cord (#172, #174)
  • Org guardrail protection (#84)
  • Workflow security scanning (#159)
  • Agent authority modeling (#877)

Human factors and governance

As autonomous contribution scales, the organizational questions become unavoidable: domain ownership shifts, review fatigue, contributor motivation, and who has authority to make binding decisions about agent behavior.
