Implementation Phases

The complete roadmap from nothing to self-hosting

Overview

Phase -1     Phase 0      Phase 1      Phase 2      Phase 3
Foundation   Manual LT    LT Larva     LT Pupa      LT Adult

Dev env +    .lodetime/   Basic        File watch   Full
scaffolding  files only   queries      + tests      system

Phase -1: Foundation ✓

  • Devcontainer setup
  • Elixir/Go scaffolding
  • Project structure
  • Documentation

Phase 0: Manual LodeTime (Current)

Goal: Validate architecture format before building runtime.

  • Finalize .lodetime/ YAML schema
  • Create all component definitions
  • Create all contract definitions
  • Claude Code reads files directly

Success: Can use Claude Code with .lodetime/ for context.

Phase 1: LodeTime Larva

Goal: Basic querying works.

Build order:

  1. config-loader (no deps)
  2. graph-server (← config-loader)
  3. cli-socket (← graph-server)
  4. cli (← cli-socket)

Success: lode status works.

Phase 2: LodeTime Pupa

Goal: LodeTime watches itself with checkpointed validation.

Build:

  • file-watcher
  • state-server
  • validation runner (tests + contract checks)
  • durable signal queue
  • Basic notifications + severity

Magic moment: Edit a file → lode check runs validations and reports results.

Success: lode check validates changes; lode status shows queue + last check outcome.

Phase 3: LodeTime Adult

Goal: Full system.

Build:

  • Full notifications
  • MCP server
  • WebSocket dashboard (optional)
  • Validation runner (expanded)

Success: Full self-hosting, AI integration works.

The Bootstrap Philosophy

Each phase uses the previous to build the next. By Phase 3, you're fully dog-fooding.
