Futures — Things We Considered But Haven't Built

This section is for ideas that came up during the project, are worth preserving, and would be valuable to someone — possibly future-Ken, possibly someone else picking up gemma-forge — if and when there's time, motivation, or external pressure to pursue them.

These are not journey entries. They didn't happen. They are not improvements either, because they aren't fixes for things that broke. They are speculative engineering notes: enough detail that a competent engineer could pick one up and start work, but no implementation, no commitments, no schedule.

If a futures entry ever does get implemented, it should be promoted to a journey entry that documents the actual build. The original futures entry stays as the record of when the idea first surfaced and what the thinking was at that point.

• The Harness Is a Training Data Factory — the open-weights case study nobody is running yet. The accumulated structured (context, action, outcome) data from agentic harness runs is, by construction, a fine-tuning corpus. With open weights you can close the loop locally; with closed weights you cannot.
