What's next

a roadmap, kept honest

A roadmap on a personal site is a small honest contract — these are the things I'm actively moving toward. Some will ship; some will mutate; one or two will be quietly buried. Treat the order as priority, not as a schedule.

Soon

Deadly Sand — first complete draft

The sequel to Mortal Past. Drafting now; expect a year before it's ready.

Soon

Thagrah's first public release

Methodology stabilises, then a public benchmark and runner. Goal: give multilingual safety teams a starting point in Arabic.
