# Dev log — 2026-10-17

Project bootstrap day: research, vault setup and roadmap.

## What I did
- Defined the product: a ranger-inspired terminal file manager in Rust, extensible by Linux users.
- Ran market research across ranger, yazi, nnn, lf, joshuto, vifm, broot and others.
- Set up the Obsidian vault: templates in `TMP/`, docs structure, workflows.
- Chose the direction: ratatui + crossterm, kitty graphics first, script-based plugins first
  with Lua later (ADR-001 … ADR-003).
- Wrote the 20-hour sprint roadmap.

## English practice
- *bootstrap* — первичная настройка, «раскрутка» проекта; *we bootstrapped the vault*.
- *milestone* — контрольная точка, веха; *M1 is the daily-driver milestone*.
- *trade-off* — компромисс; *Lua plugins are a trade-off between power and complexity*.

## Next session
- Start Sprint 0: Rust toolchain, cargo project, Gitea board and CI.
