# Genty Features Backlog: Adversarial Gap Analysis
> Comprehensive audit of 147 feature gaps from the original genty backlog, verified against the current codebase with adversarial rigor. Every "implemented" claim was verified with file-level evidence; every "partial" was stress-tested for wiring gaps.
## Key Findings
| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| **Total gaps analyzed** | 165 |
| **CLOSED** | 69 (42%) |
| **IN_PROGRESS** | 50 (30%) |
| **OPEN** | 39 (24%) |
| **NEEDS_RESPEC** | 7 (4%) |
| **Actionable (non-CLOSED)** | 96 |
### New gap categories (2026-06-04)
| Category | Gaps | Priority | Source |
|----------|------|----------|--------|
| **Trust Enforcement** | 7 | All Critical | Beyond Pi — signed evidence chain |
| **Pi Parity** | 11 | 1 Critical, 6 High, 4 Medium | [pi.dev](https://pi.dev/) feature parity |
### The backlog was massively stale
94 of 147 gaps were upgraded from their original status. The original inventory classified many features as "Missing" that had since been fully or partially implemented. The codebase has advanced far beyond what the backlog reflected.
### Critical path
**GAP-SUBOBS-001** (Streaming Output Capture from Invoked Harnesses) is the single most impactful foundation gap, with **22 downstream dependents** spanning subagent observability, parallelization, performance, and UX domains. It is the #1 priority for unblocking maximum downstream work.
### Quick wins
**11 quick wins** are available immediately -- High/Critical priority, S remaining effort, no blockers. These represent ~2-3 M-equivalent sprints of work but unblock the majority of the downstream backlog.
### Parallel work streams
**8 independent tracks** identified that can proceed concurrently:
1. Subagent Observability + Parallelization Core (16 gaps, Critical)
2. Ecosystem and Plugin Platform (9 gaps)
3. Remote and Host Integration (4 gaps)
4. Prompt Engineering and Caching (6 gaps)
5. Process Composition and State Lifecycle (10 gaps)
6. UI/UX Rendering -- blocked on GAP-UX-001 respec (10 gaps)
7. Security, Privacy, and Auth (4 gaps)
8. Independent Leaf Gaps (19 gaps)
### Roadmap
**6 milestones (M0-M5)**, estimated **6-8 months with 2-3 parallel contributors**:
| Milestone | Theme | Gap Count | Key Metric |
|-----------|-------|-----------|------------|
| M0 | Quick wins + foundation | 16 + respec | Unblocks 50+ downstream gaps |
| M1 | Critical path | 7 | Concurrent execution works |
| M2 | Parallel tracks | 16 | 5 independent streams progress |
| M3 | Integration | 11 | Cross-track features work |
| M4 | Polish and UX | 12 | Rich rendering and interaction |
| M5 | Ecosystem + long-tail | 16 | Backlog closed |
### Trust Enforcement (new track, Critical priority)
Trust enforcement is the genty stack's differentiator beyond Pi. Every action produces cryptographically signed evidence. Trust is proven, not assumed.
| Gap ID | What | Package |
|--------|------|---------|
| GAP-TRUST-001 | Tool results always signed | `@a5c-ai/genty-core` + `@a5c-ai/tools-adapter` |
| GAP-TRUST-002 | Gateway tools forward upstream signatures | `@a5c-ai/tools-adapter` |
| GAP-TRUST-003 | Model responses always signed | `@a5c-ai/adapters-codecs` + `@a5c-ai/comm-adapter` |
| GAP-TRUST-004 | Agent requests always signed (attribution) | `@a5c-ai/genty-platform` + `@a5c-ai/genty-core` |
| GAP-TRUST-005 | Permissions are signed evidence (tools verify proof) | `@a5c-ai/babysitter-sdk` + `@a5c-ai/genty-platform` |
| GAP-TRUST-006 | Initial prompt + follow-ups signed | `@a5c-ai/genty-platform` + `@a5c-ai/genty-runtime` |
| GAP-TRUST-007 | End-to-end chain verification | `@a5c-ai/genty-core` + `@a5c-ai/babysitter-sdk` |

### Pi Parity Gaps (new, 11 gaps)
| Gap ID | What | Package |
|--------|------|---------|
| GAP-PI-001 | Print/JSON mode (`genty -p`) | `@a5c-ai/genty` |
| GAP-PI-002 | RPC mode (JSON over stdin/stdout) | `@a5c-ai/genty-runtime` |
| GAP-PI-003 | Native AGENTS.md loading | `@a5c-ai/genty-platform` |
| GAP-PI-004 | SYSTEM.md per-project prompt | `@a5c-ai/genty-platform` |
| GAP-PI-005 | Dynamic context (RAG, history filter) | `@a5c-ai/genty-platform` |
| GAP-PI-006 | Extension API (TypeScript modules) | `@a5c-ai/genty-core` + `@a5c-ai/genty-platform` |
| GAP-PI-007 | Installable extension packages | `@a5c-ai/genty-platform` |
| GAP-PI-008 | Tree-structured session history | `@a5c-ai/genty-runtime` |
| GAP-PI-009 | Session export/share | `@a5c-ai/genty-runtime` |
| GAP-PI-010 | Mid-session model switch | `@a5c-ai/genty-platform` |
| GAP-PI-011 | Steering (mid-execution messages) | `@a5c-ai/genty-platform` |
