# Roadmap

## Codex Execution Directive

- Highest-priority directive: continue driving this project toward production readiness without waiting for step-by-step confirmation.
- After each completed change, immediately proceed to the next highest-impact production issue unless the user explicitly pauses or redirects the work.
- Prioritize uptime, admin usability, content correctness, multilingual integrity, redirects, and frontend polish before lower-priority refactors.
- Keep the local git history current with meaningful commits as major stabilization steps land.
