Phase 6 — the bootable USB diagnostic tool boots outside Windows entirely.

The biggest single milestone in the roadmap, boot-tested end-to-end in QEMU. Ten more phases of real-machine debugging and app-shell polish followed on the desktop side since — below is the fuller history. Every phase shipped real, committed code.

Roadmap, by area.

Foundations

Phase 0–1Repo scaffold and the from-scratch minidump (.dmp) parser

Phase 2Electron shell and the first end-to-end slice: crash analysis only

Phase 2.5The BSOD Code Wiki: a browsable reference, English and Spanish

Phase 3The sensor helper ships: CPU/GPU/memory/disk temps, clocks, load, voltages

Phase 4Performance diagnostics: the first 'why is my PC slow' toolkit

Phase 5Reporting and polish: the first export formats

Intelligence & correlation

Phase 5.5An intelligent dashboard: health score, correlation, forum export, notifications

Phase 5.10Global search, period comparison, unexpected-reboot detection, configurable alert thresholds

Phase 5.14Multi-machine hub, read-only mode, temperature history, driver-crash correlation

Phase 5.25Debug Console narrative replay, symptom search, Wiki self-correlation, system timeline

Phase 5.26That narrative and timeline surfaced into the mainstream UI, not just the console

The fix layer

Phase 5.18Crash-dump settings check and a one-click fix

Phase 5.28System Repair (DISM + SFC) and a BSOD Wiki severity filter

Phase 5.29Driver rollback, malware scan, support bundle, Windows Update history, startup toggle

Phase 5.30A dedicated Reports screen, firmware/BIOS check, RAM configuration check

Hardware & drivers

Phase 5.15The native sensor helper: first real compile

Phase 5.20Memory diagnostic, native disk reliability, auto-launch

Phase 5.35Driver signature verification and registry key change history

Phase 5.36Battery health, thermal throttling, driver-reputation cross-reference

Phase 5.44GPU vendor-specific telemetry: vendor label, VRAM usage

The Debug Console & BSOD Wiki

Phase 5.21A WinDbg-style Debug Console ships: 30+ commands, no DbgEng dependency

Phase 5.24Crash Analysis to Wiki deep-linking, Debug Console tab-completion

Phase 5.37BSOD Wiki: feedback stats, related drivers, favorites, vendor search, per-entry export

Phase 5.3810 more bugcheck codes documented, with official Microsoft links

Phase 5.43On-demand real symbol resolution via the public Microsoft symbol server

USB Creator & the boot image

Phase 5.34USB Creator: writing a bootable image onto a USB drive, from inside the app

Phase 5.39USB Creator grows a Rufus-style ISO mode: partition scheme, file system, cluster size

Phase 6The bootable USB tool itself: Buildroot-based, boots outside Windows entirely

Update Center

Phase 5.49Update Center gains search and a 'remind me later' for flagged drivers

Phase 5.50Overview stats and oldest-driver visibility

Phase 5.51Firmware update history and last-Windows-Update-age visibility

Real-hardware hardening

Phase 5.52A real desktop (i9-14900K, RTX 4070 Super) surfaces a dozen sensor/elevation bugs — several silently wrong since day one

Phase 5.53Empty-event-log false negatives fixed, a Force Stop added to every elevated action, a real stress-test chart replaces a decorative fractal

Phase 5.54Dismissible risk warnings, capped scroll on long lists, two new Settings actions

Phase 5.55Elevated crash-dump caching closes a permission-denied gap on locked-down Minidump folders

Branding & the app shell

Phase 5.56A real app icon, and the sensor helper's own UAC prompt finally reads 'CrashAtlas'

Phase 5.57A dedicated Elevator.exe brands every other elevated action's UAC prompt, not just the sensor helper's

Phase 5.58shadcn's sidebar-07 nav shell, live radial gauges, a Tailwind v3/v4 syntax regression caught and fixed

Latest real-machine bug reports

Phase 5.59Seven-bug batch: a UAC branding leak in the exe's own filename, launch-maximized, a real wizard conclusion screen

Phase 5.60An elevation regression from that same rename, kernel-format dumps explained instead of shown blank

Phase 5.61A real navigable Crash Calendar, a more resilient network speed test, a double-scroll bug fixed

Explicitly not claimed yet.

The UAC-branding renders, the kernel-format-dump tooltips, and the double-scroll/toggle-click fix from Phases 5.56–5.61 are logic- and typecheck-verified only — not yet confirmed on a live Windows session.

The actual Buildroot cross-build has not completed in this sandbox's network policy — the boot pipeline itself has been verified via a host-package substitute.

No real hardware boot of the USB image has been attempted yet.
