Purpose
This document explains how TealTiger is expected to evolve in v1.2.x — and, just as importantly, what will not change. This helps teams adopt v1.1.0 with confidence.What Stays Stable
The following are explicitly stable across v1.1.x → v1.2.x:✅ Deterministic decision model
- Same inputs → same outcomes
- No probabilistic enforcement
✅ Policy semantics
- Conditions
- Actions
- Reason codes
- Enforcement outcomes
✅ Audit event guarantees
- Stable schema
- Structured evidence
- Reproducible decisions
✅ SDK‑first philosophy
- Code‑native integration
- No UI dependency for core governance
What May Evolve in v1.2.x
🔄 Policy authoring ergonomics
- Improved policy composition
- Better reuse patterns
- Validation and linting improvements
🔄 Expanded governance signals
- Richer cost metadata
- More contextual execution attributes
- Additional risk inputs
Signals may expand — enforcement remains deterministic.
🔄 Broader policy coverage
- More built‑in examples
- Extended reference patterns
- New policy categories
🔄 Optional coordination features
- Policy grouping
- Environment‑aware enforcement
- Controlled rollout mechanisms
What v1.2.x Will NOT Become
v1.2.x will not introduce:- Model hosting
- Probabilistic enforcement
- Hidden heuristics
- Mandatory UI workflows
Migration Philosophy
v1.2.x aims to be:- Backward‑compatible where possible
- Explicit when breaking changes are required
- Documented with clear migration paths
Summary
v1.2.x focuses on:- Better usability
- Broader governance coverage
- Stronger composition
