docs: weekly roadmap synthesis (2026-08-21)

[vivekchand]

Summary

Weekly synthesis of open user-signal issues across BOTH repos (vivekchand/clawmetry + vivekchand/clawmetry-cloud) into themes, ranked by demand + recency. This PR exists every Friday so you can see week-over-week whether the product is being shaped by user signal or by founder-gut.

How to read it

• Hot: build these next (theme tells you which repo).
• Warm: worth tracking.
• Closed-loop: we shipped this; watch for follow-ups (notes which repo).
• Quiet: noise, probably ignore.

What changed this week vs 2026-08-14

1. Session Replay promoted to HOT — orchestration capture (sub-agents, workflows, parent edges) shipped as the data prerequisite. The viewer is now the gap.
2. Secret Egress Host-Binding elevated to HOT — 3 severity:high harness filings in 7 days; the security hardening sprint this week made the observability gap more visible.
3. Cost enforcement enters week 11 — the proxy gained kill controls for 6 more runtimes, but the dollar-cap enforcement path in proxy.py still has 0 PRs.

Bot meta

Auto-generated draft. Cross-repo aware as of 2026-08. Mark Ready for Review (or just merge) if the synthesis looks right. Closed without merge = the bot will retry next Friday with a fresh sweep.

Closing this draft. The "Runtime count matches the entitlement catalogue" step failed, which blocks merge even though the synthesis content itself looks correct.

Root cause: the step runs on the branch HEAD against main's entitlements catalogue, and the count in the doc doesn't align with what the CI script expects (likely the step is strict about exact count matches, and "22+" vs "22" or a stale figure somewhere triggers it).

Additionally, main has since moved forward (3 PRs merged: #4950, #5017, #5000) so this branch is now stale against the new base.

The bot will regenerate with fresh context next Friday. That run will also correctly reflect the Goose adapter move (now in OSS as of #5000) and the updated runtime count.
