Roadmap — post-1.5.2 candidates

[xantorres]

External readers see a healthy commit log and a 1.5.x release cadence, but no public sense of where the project is heading. This issue is a public tracking surface for post-1.5.2 candidates.

How to read this

Each bullet below is intent, not a commitment. If something gets picked up, it spawns its own issue (and ships in a future minor or patch). If a bullet sits here for a long time, that is also signal — comments and thumbs-ups help prioritize.

Candidates

• GitHub Action: rk validate on PR
  Drop-in workflow so any RK-governed repo can fail a PR when an agent leaves the project graph in a P0/P1 state.

• Per-run cost / token telemetry
  Capture token counts and dollar cost (where the adapter exposes them) into the run log, surface in rk run inspect.

• First-class multi-agent races on a single sprint
  rk lane parallel S-001 --agents claude,codex runs both, picks the better review verdict. Currently possible by hand; want it native.

• VS Code extension
  Sidebar showing rk runs, current review state, one-click rk close / rk discard. Reduces context-switching for users who live in editors.

• Long-running agent observability
  Stream agent stdout to a structured log so rk run logs --follow RUN-NNN works during long sessions, not just after.

How to influence priority

• Comment on this issue with your use case for any candidate.
• Open a new issue if you want to propose something not listed here.
• Pull requests welcome on items where the design is obvious — comment first to avoid duplicated work.
