Native release roadmap

Six passes remain.

NATIVE039 through NATIVE044 complete protocol governance, support diagnostics, provenance, Windows packaging, Microsoft Store preparation, legacy migration, and the final release gate.

NATIVE039Next

Protocol, Extension, and Permission Governance

Chromium-native extension governance
Enterprise extension allow and block policies
External protocol handling
Dangerous URL-scheme blocking
Sensitive-domain handling
Permission governance and audit trail

NATIVE040Planned

Support Bundle and Diagnostics

TAHAI build and application revision
Chromium revision, OS, and GPU information
Active policy truth and non-secret errors
Crash state and Mission diagnostics
Redaction report
Safe, metadata-only support output

NATIVE041Gate G5 follows

SBOM, Provenance, and Reproducibility

Chromium revision evidence
TAHAI patch hashes
GN build arguments and toolchain versions
Software Bill of Materials and checksums
Source-to-binary manifest
Reproducibility and provenance evidence

NATIVE042Blocked by G5

Windows Installer

Native executable packaging
Install, upgrade, and uninstall
Start menu and taskbar integration
Default-browser registration
Profile-retention choices
Signed-artifact lane

NATIVE043After installer proof

Microsoft Store / MSIX

Native Chromium package identity
Store assets and capabilities
Protocol associations
Installation and update smoke testing
Partner Center evidence
No reuse of Electron packaging code

NATIVE044Final release gate

Legacy Migration and Release Gate

Optional safe bookmark, Mission, recipe, and setting migration
No cookie, token, credential, authorization, or raw-profile migration
Installed Windows and physical mouse Back/Forward proof
Authentication-provider compatibility matrix
Restored, maximized, and small-window review
Final RC, known issues, and Store package decision

Gate G5

Packaging cannot start on intent alone.

Enterprise policy, security, privacy, diagnostics, and provenance evidence must pass after NATIVE041 before the Windows installer lane proceeds.
