Development status

Implemented capabilities, test coverage, and upcoming roadmap milestones.

exist.io has completed its foundational core milestones and provides a fully functional, self-hosted Git forge and agent platform.

Implemented & verified capabilities

All components below are backed by automated unit, contract, and integration tests across 14 Go packages with 100% test pass rates:

Binary Daemon: Standalone existd binary with graceful shutdown and configurable logging.
Offline Bootstrap: Safe, one-time bootstrap command (existd bootstrap) provisioning SQLite WAL database, default namespace, and root administrator credentials.
Storage Engines: Pure-Go SQLite metadata store (modernc.org/sqlite, zero cgo) and go-git/v6 bare repository packfile storage.

Standard Git HTTP transport (info/refs, git-upload-pack, git-receive-pack).
Full support for git clone, git fetch, and git push.
Integrated token authentication and namespace/repository permission checks.

100% coverage of the 119 Origin REST API operations.
Full CRUD for namespaces, repositories, branches, commits, trees, blobs, diffs, and tags.
Pull request lifecycle: creation, updates, state transitions (open, closed, merged), auto-merge queues.
Collaboration features: line-level review threads, general comments, emoji reactions, and label management.
Dynamic OpenAPI 3.1 specification publication at /v1/origin/openapi.yaml.

First-class JSON-RPC 2.0 MCP server mounted at /mcp.
34 specialized agent tools covering tree traversal, blob reads, branch management, pull request creation, inline commenting, and status checks.
Read-only sandbox mount at /mcp/readonly to safely execute unvetted agents.

Native 3-way merge and squash merge engine with conflict detection.
Ruleset policy evaluator supporting branch and tag protections, required review counts, passing check runs, and bypass actor lists.
Check suites and check runs API for reporting CI/CD and agent test results.
Inbound IP allowlists with CIDR block filtering.
SSH Certificate Authority key management.
Ed25519 signed webhooks and delivery logs.
GitHub mirror configuration and status tracking.

Verified compatibility with Terraform provider client workflows for managing repositories, grants, rulesets, SSH CAs, and IP allowlists as code.

Web Dashboard / Browser UI: A visual web frontend for browsing repositories, visual diffs, and managing organization settings in a browser.
SSH Protocol Transport: Native SSH daemon for git@host:repo.git operations in addition to Smart-HTTP.
High-Availability Clustering: Multi-node synchronization and distributed queue workers for large enterprise scale.
