# 🚢 Ship v4.3.0 - Complete Plan

**Date:** 2025-11-15  
**Target:** v4.3.0 with Learning + Multi-Hop  
**Timeline:** 6-8 hours total

---

## 📋 What We're Shipping

### ✅ Already Complete (v4.2.0 - LIVE)
- Code Summarization (16 tests)
- Semantic Caching
- Auto-Refresh Graph DB

### ✅ Already Complete (Ready for v4.3.0)
- **CODEX-004:** Learning from Feedback (13 tests) ✅

### 🎯 To Complete (For v4.3.0)
- **CODEX-005:** Multi-Hop Reasoning (6-8 hours)
- **CASCADE-002:** Documentation Updates (1 hour)

---

## 🎯 Two Shipping Options

### Option A: Ship v4.3.0 NOW (Recommended)

**What's included:**
- ✅ Learning from Feedback (complete)
- 📝 Documentation updates (1 hour)

**Timeline:** 1 hour  
**Risk:** Low  
**Value:** High (learning system is production-ready)

**Steps:**
```bash
# 1. Complete CASCADE-002 (documentation)
arela orchestrate --tickets CASCADE-002-documentation-v4.3.0

# 2. Build and test
npm run build
npm test

# 3. Publish
npm version 4.3.0
git add .
git commit -m "feat: v4.3.0 - Learning from Feedback"
git tag v4.3.0
git push origin main --tags
npm publish
```

**Pros:**
- ✅ Ship learning system immediately
- ✅ Users can start providing feedback
- ✅ Low risk (well-tested)
- ✅ Fast (1 hour)

**Cons:**
- ⚠️ Multi-hop comes in v4.4.0 (1-2 weeks later)

---

### Option B: Ship v4.3.0 with Multi-Hop

**What's included:**
- ✅ Learning from Feedback (complete)
- 🔄 Multi-Hop Reasoning (6-8 hours)
- 📝 Documentation updates (1 hour)

**Timeline:** 7-9 hours (1-2 days)  
**Risk:** Medium  
**Value:** Very High (complete intelligence upgrade)

**Steps:**
```bash
# 1. Complete CODEX-005 (multi-hop)
arela orchestrate --tickets CODEX-005-multi-hop-reasoning

# 2. Complete CASCADE-002 (documentation)
arela orchestrate --tickets CASCADE-002-documentation-v4.3.0

# 3. Build and test
npm run build
npm test

# 4. Publish
npm version 4.3.0
git add .
git commit -m "feat: v4.3.0 - Learning + Multi-Hop Reasoning"
git tag v4.3.0
git push origin main --tags
npm publish
```

**Pros:**
- ✅ Complete intelligence upgrade in one release
- ✅ Both major features together
- ✅ Bigger announcement impact

**Cons:**
- ⚠️ Takes 1-2 days
- ⚠️ Higher complexity (more to test)
- ⚠️ Delays learning system release

## 💡 My Recommendation: Option A

**Ship v4.3.0 NOW with Learning, then v4.4.0 with Multi-Hop**

**Why:**
1. **Learning is production-ready** - 13 tests passing, fully implemented
2. **Users can start helping** - Feedback improves the system immediately
3. **Lower risk** - One feature at a time
4. **Faster iteration** - Ship, learn, improve
5. **Multi-hop needs learning data** - Learning system provides data for multi-hop optimization

**Timeline:**
- **Today:** Ship v4.3.0 (Learning)
- **Next week:** Complete CODEX-005 (Multi-Hop)
- **Week after:** Ship v4.4.0 (Multi-Hop)

## 🚀 Execution Plan (Option A - Recommended)

### Phase 1: Documentation (1 hour)

**Execute CASCADE-002:**
```bash
# Option 1: Orchestrate

# 2. Update README.md (add Learning subsection)
# 3. Update QUICKSTART.md (add Step 9)
# 4. Update package.json (version 4.3.0)
```

**Verify:**
```bash
cat package.json | grep version
# Should show: "version": "4.3.0"

grep "Learning from Feedback" README.md
# Should find the new section

head -20 CHANGELOG.md
# Should show v4.3.0 at top
```

### Phase 2: Build & Test (10 min)

```bash
# Build
npm run build

# Test all
npm test

# Test learning specifically
npm test -- learning --run

# Expected: 29/29 tests passing
```

### Phase 3: Publish (15 min)

```bash
# Commit documentation
git add .
git commit -m "feat: v4.3.0 - Learning from Feedback

## 💬 What Do You Want to Do?

**Option 1:** "Ship v4.3.0 now" → Execute CASCADE-002, publish  
**Option 2:** "Add multi-hop first" → Execute CODEX-005, then CASCADE-002, then publish  
**Option 3:** "Review tickets first" → Review CODEX-005 and CASCADE-002 before deciding  

**I recommend Option 1** - Ship learning system now, multi-hop in v4.4.0.
