# Hermes Mobile Beta Roadmap
## Current Milestone: Native Android Direct Gateway Contract
Status: in progress. Android foundation work is complete, and the beta path now targets a remote upstream Hermes Agent gateway/API server directly. The legacy `apps/companion` server is compatibility-only and not required for future Android releases.
Done:
- Native Kotlin/Compose Android shell replaces the web-first mobile path for the beta surface.
- Android connection flow stores one logical gateway profile with optional Local HTTPS, required Remote HTTPS, Android-keystore-protected bearer/no-auth configuration, and active Local/Remote diagnostics.
- Local-first route selection uses bounded `GET /health` probes, authenticated `GET /v1/models` compatibility checks, deterministic Remote fallback, and foreground/connectivity/request-failure re-evaluation without switching in-flight leases.
- Android no longer calls undocumented legacy companion `/api/*` routes from the direct-gateway client path.
- Chat UI supports conversation list/thread navigation, native composer, busy state, selectable replies, error bubbles, and new-chat reset.
- Direct gateway compatibility contract is documented in `docs/DIRECT_GATEWAY_ARCHITECTURE.md`.
- Legacy companion chat, terminal, and file utilities remain in the repo during migration but are not the target architecture.
- Local build artifacts, Android transient build output, `.gradle-user/`, and `.dev/` are ignored.
- Companion and workspace TypeScript typecheck, build, and lint pass as of 2026-07-24.
Remaining for beta:
- Complete B3 after upstream documents a session-search endpoint/query schema and a live gateway can verify advertised session CRUD behavior; the independently verifiable durable-state and capability-gated request foundation landed on 2026-07-24.
- Exercise the connection/settings unhappy paths on a real device or emulator; this sandbox cannot start ADB because local control sockets are prohibited.
- Exercise a real device or emulator against a running upstream Hermes gateway/API server.
- Verify direct gateway behavior end to end beyond B2: chat request/response, session continuity expectations, streamed/final output handling, and failure recovery.
- Verify or revise provisional session, streaming, tool-event, artifact, and cancellation route assumptions against official upstream docs.
- Add or run focused Android UI validation for chat/settings flows on small and large screens.
- Confirm adaptive accessibility: font scaling, TalkBack labels, contrast, keyboard/IME behavior, and reduced-motion tolerance.
- Document beta install/run steps after the native build is verified.
## Beta Release Criteria
- Native Kotlin/Compose Android app is the shipped beta client.
- No WebView, Capacitor runtime dependency, fake backend, embedded secrets, or new external infrastructure is introduced for beta.
- Direct gateway transport and auth are exercised against the upstream Hermes gateway/API server.
- Chat/session/streaming behavior is exercised with Hermes, including success, unauthorized, timeout, server error, malformed response, and stream interruption cases.
- Settings connection flow is reliable: save, validate, health, Hermes test, offline/unauthorized states, and recovery are clear.
- Adaptive accessibility passes on target Android devices or emulators.
- Required checks pass: `./gradlew :app:testDebugUnitTest :app:assembleDebug` from `apps/mobile/android` and relevant source lint.
- Release notes clearly list remaining known beta limitations.
