We are rebuilding the hosted cloud first, then using that foundation for OTA, Open Jibo OS, and a tiered brain that can eventually hand higher-order work to CoffeeBreak without losing Jibo's original charm.

Current Focus

ship a stable Azure-hosted replacement cloud
keep the Node prototype as the protocol oracle and capture harness
port the production path to .NET
support real devices through repeatable bootstrap steps first
use OTA later to reduce recovery friction once the cloud is trustworthy

Current release truth lives in docs/development-plan.md. The current cloud release constant is 1.0.19.

Roadmap

The long-range plan is summarized in docs/roadmap.md. In short:

Working hosted cloud.
OTA-assisted recovery and updates.
Open Jibo OS / open-jibo mode conversion.
Tiered brain and CoffeeBreak orchestration.
Broader ecosystem expansion.

Current Architecture

The repo now has three distinct lanes:

src/Jibo.Cloud/node Protocol oracle, discovery server, fixture source, and rapid reverse-engineering lab.
src/Jibo.Cloud/dotnet Production-oriented hosted implementation intended for Azure deployment and long-term maintenance.
src/Jibo.Runtime.Abstractions The seam between robot/cloud traffic and higher-level runtime and capability logic.

The core shape is:

Jibo device -> OpenJibo cloud -> normalized runtime contracts -> capabilities and planning

First Supported Device Path

The first supported recovery path is enthusiast-friendly, not zero-touch:

QR Wi-Fi -> inject OpenJibo region config -> set robot region ->
RCM/device patch for TLS and host acceptance -> OpenJibo cloud on Azure

That path is documented in docs/device-bootstrap.md.

Design Principles

Preserve the original skills and visual design.
Build the hosted cloud before making OTA the default recovery path.
Keep every migration reversible whenever possible.
Prefer source-backed slices over speculative rewrites.
Let Jibo remain the face of the experience, even when higher-level orchestration sits behind him.
