VSCodroid — Software Planning Documentation

Document Index

Planning Suite — written 2026-02-10, kept as history

Each of these still carries **Version**: 1.0-draft and **Date**: 2026-02-10 in its own header. They record what was planned, not what was built — see Document Status.

# Document Description Audience
01 Product Requirements (PRD) Vision, goals, user personas, feature scope Everyone
02 Software Requirements (SRS) Functional & non-functional requirements Developers, QA
03 Architecture Design System architecture, components, patterns, ADRs Tech leads, Developers
04 Technical Specification Implementation details, protocols, build system Developers
05 API & Interface Spec WebView bridge, server API, extension interface Developers
06 Security Design Threat model, security controls, data protection Everyone
07 Testing Strategy Test plan, types, environments, coverage QA, Developers
08 Risk Assessment Risk identification, analysis, mitigation Project leads
09 Development Guide Superseded by CONTRIBUTING.md; a pointer at where each topic lives now Developers
10 Release Plan CI/CD, versioning, Play Store, rollout DevOps, Project leads
11 Glossary Terms, acronyms, technology definitions Everyone
12 Implementation Plan Week-by-week task breakdown, dependencies, checkpoints Project leads, Developers

Maintained References

Kept current against the shipping app rather than frozen at plan time.

Document Description Audience
User Guide Using the app: editor, terminal, extensions, SSH, toolchains Users
Device Test Checklist Manual on-device pass, run after the automated tests QA
Legal Notices Licenses and attribution for everything redistributed Everyone
Privacy Policy What the app collects, and what it does not Everyone

Reading Order

New to the project? Read in this order:

  1. PRD (understand what we're building)
  2. Architecture (understand how it works)
  3. Glossary (if any terms are unfamiliar)
  4. ../CONTRIBUTING.md (to start contributing — the Development Guide here is planning-era)

Technical deep-dive?

  1. Architecture → Technical Spec → API Spec

Planning & management?

  1. PRD → SRS → Risk Assessment → Release Plan

Document Status

Status is expressed by which table above a document sits in, not by a per-document row here.

The planning suite (01–12) was written before the app existed and is kept for its reasoning, not as a description of the build. Where one contradicts the code, the code is right. Two forms of note appear in them, and they mean different things:

  • A banner at the top (01, 03, 04, 07, 08, 12, and on §2 of 10, which is stale where the rest of that document is not) says the document is a dated record and names what has since overtaken it. The body below a banner is mostly left as written, on purpose: a plan, an ADR or a risk score is a record of what was thought at the time, and editing it would destroy the record rather than update it.
  • A pointer (09) replaces the body outright. That document was procedure rather than reasoning: setup commands, gulp tasks, a branch strategy. Commands that no longer run leave no record to preserve, only something to copy by mistake, so the instructions were removed and what is left says where each topic lives now.
  • A correction inside the text, a struck-through clause with what shipped beside it (02), or a rewritten definition (11), is used where a document's job is to describe rather than to remember. 05 and 06 are corrected the same way and carry no banner, because they have been kept against the code rather than frozen.

Neither note is a guarantee about the sentence next to it. The code is still the only source of truth.

The maintained references are the unnumbered documents: the User Guide and Privacy Policy that ship to users, the Legal Notices recording what is redistributed, and the device test checklist run by hand on a real device.

There is deliberately no "last updated" column. The one that stood here read 2026-02-10 for all eleven rows while several of the documents it listed had already changed, because a date copied into a table is one edit away from being wrong and nothing makes it fail loudly. Version control already holds the answer exactly:

git log -1 --format='%cd  %s' --date=short -- docs/04-TECHNICAL_SPEC.md

For what the code does today, read the code.
