Design notes

These are forward-looking proposals and historical design notes — the record of what was explored, what shipped, and why. They are not part of the stable contract.

• Adversarial audit — vx terminal output layer
• Architecture north star — the unified vision
• Architecture Overhaul — June 2026 Implementation Plan
• Architecture review — sharpening the five proposals
• Architecture review — simplify, DX, develop further (2026-07)
• Cache trust scopes — design
• Concurrent index migrations — design
• Config lock — vx lock / vx-lock.json (2026-06)
• Consulting review — full-system audit (2026-07)
• Core / cloud split + plugin-based extension points — design
• Cross-machine fingerprint diff (—verify Phase 4) — design
• Dashboard competitive analysis + improvement plan (2026-06)
• Dashboard Tier 3 — schema, recording, and the input-fingerprint moat (2026-06)
• Dashboard UX v3 — journey-driven IA (2026-07)
• Dev flows, CI integration, and vx agents — design
• Developer scenarios — one dev inside a huge monorepo (2026-07)
• Distributed execution (vx agents) — design
• Distributed execution on CI — the killer-feature roadmap
• Distributed runs in Runs — the controller records like a local run

• How Claude Code does its TUI
• Integrity & robustness audit — May 2026
• Local cache — v10 → v13
• Lookahead / critical-path-aware admission — design
• Module isolation — design
• Monorepo structure — design
• Observability + integration architecture — design
• Per-task logs + artifacts in the dashboard — design
• Pre-signed artifact URLs — design
• Predictive execution — using history to win the perf war
• project analytics view — design
• Provable cache correctness — design
• Remote cache — protocol design
• Resource-aware scheduling — design
• Run event stream + devframe surfaces

• S3-compatible blob backend — no artifact bytes at rest on the controller
• Security review — 2026-07
• stable-key local cache short-circuit — design
• The vx-native cache wire — plugin-driven remote cache, Turbo compat dropped
• Turbo / Nx parity: behavioural contracts vx does not pin (2026-07)
• Turbo + Nx test gap analysis
• Turbo vs Nx vs vx — full scenario matrix + test-coverage gaps
• Turbo vs Nx vs vx — operation-by-operation breakdown
• Universal agents & pools — design
• Validity-filtered caching (replaces output-fold early cutoff)
• vx as a CI platform — competitive positioning + the standing shared-pool scheduler
• vx Cloud — hosted observability, cache, and execution
• vx run —tui — architect’s design
• vx run —tui — interactive full-screen dashboard
• vx-cloud as an independent self-hosted CI platform — design
• vx-cloud client/server model — environments, connect, auth — design
