Milestones

The M0–M6 roadmap, dependency order, and evidence-backed status.

Milestones are dependency-ordered — each builds only on predecessors, with no circular dependencies.

Milestone	Focus	Scope highlights
M0	Bootstrap & Core	Application container, typed config loader, service provider DAG ordering, graceful shutdown
M1	Routing & HTTP	axum router, route groups, domain-aware routing, middleware stack, typed extractors, HTTP client
M2	ORM & Database	Query builder, `#[derive(Model)]`, migrations, seeders, factories, vector search
M3	Auth, Middleware & Validation	Guards (JWT + session), `#[authorize]`, origin-aware CSRF, throttle, validation rules
M4	Queue, Cache, Scheduling & Events	Typed jobs, queue routing, cache stores and locks, scheduler pause/resume, event dispatch
M5	DX, CLI & Testing	`cargo artisan`, 17 generators, declarative attributes, testcontainers harness
M6	Advanced	Broadcasting and real-time, search, filesystem, JSON:API, AI SDK, mail, presentation layers

Status

Milestone	Status
M2 — ORM & Database	Complete
M0, M1, M3, M4, M5, M6	Partial

M0 — the scaffolded AppServiceProvider is still a no-op, and the config loader is not yet mounted during app boot.
M1 — URL generation and implicit route-model binding remain open.
M4 — the in-process sync driver keeps failed jobs in memory.
M5 — generated controllers leave route registration manual; Docker-gated integration tests are opt-in.
M6 — Gemini and Bedrock have no AI adapter; embeddings fall back to a deterministic stub.

Every Laravel 13.0.0 headline feature is mapped to the milestone that delivers its equivalent. The mapping covers 20 features, including:

JSON:API Resources	New	M6
Queue routing by class	New	M4
Cache `touch()`	New	M4
Semantic / vector search	New	M2 + M6
Expanded declarative attributes	New	M5
Read-through filesystem	New	M6
Schedule pause / resume	New	M4
Request forgery protection	Improved	M3
Cache & session hardening	Improved	M3 / M4
Eloquent collection serialization	Improved	M2
Database upsert & delete	Improved	M2
Query builder additions	Improved	M2
Event / queue contract expansion	Improved	M4
Mail / notification defaults	Improved	M6
HTTP client & process	Improved	M1
