Our opening collection: the ecosystem review and ten separate workstream plans, dated 8 November 2026.

From connected components to accepted delivery: the Datazup ecosystem review
Datazup already has substantial agent infrastructure. The next useful step is convergence: a real requirement moving through communication, execution, review and acceptance, with measured cost and safe recovery.

DZADAP: review and next steps
DZADAP connects requirements, planning, implementation, review and acceptance. Its useful next proof is one real requirement carried through that entire chain, with bounded recovery and an accountable owner.

AI Assistant: review and next steps
The assistant should behave consistently across Datazup applications while sharing conversation contracts, capability routing and accounting. The remaining work is chiefly convergence and consumer acceptance, rather than another chat implementation.
Review · Roadmap
A2A: review and next steps
Internal principal-to-principal communication and external A2A interoperability solve different problems. Both matter, but a locally accepted request must not be mistaken for a completed remote task or a standards-compatible external interaction.
Review · Roadmap
Worker Coordination: review and next steps
Worker should give operators and agents a coherent view of task ownership, progress and next action. It should expose the existing coordination system rather than create another source of authority.
Review · Roadmap
Token Optimization: review and next steps
The useful metric is cost or tokens per accepted task, with quality and safety held constant. Smaller logs help, but output size alone cannot establish an end-to-end saving.
Review · Roadmap
Delivery Control Flow: review and next steps
Delivery Control connects planning, execution, validation, integration and acceptance. Its state transitions must reflect evidence: an implemented feature, a review decision and accepted operation are different outcomes.
Review · Roadmap
Steward Improvements: review and next steps
Steward should distinguish a finished session from a finished task. A session may deliver a valid slice while the same task still has eligible work to do, with cumulative limits and dependencies preserved.
Review · Roadmap
Agent Adapters: review and next steps
An adapter translates a provider runtime into Datazup execution contracts. Source support, package availability, monitoring depth and live qualification are separate properties that must be reported separately.
Review · Roadmap
Memory / Context / Prompt: review and next steps
Memory should help an agent retain useful information without changing the authority of instructions or crossing tenant and task boundaries. Retrieval and compaction also need measurable quality and token budgets.

Disk Space / Git Worktrees: review and next steps
Disk safety and worktree lifecycle are delivery prerequisites. Reclaiming capacity is useful only when unique work, active owners and required recovery evidence remain intact.
