# DMARQ Security-Enhanced Roadmap
# DMARQ Development Roadmap
## Document Purpose
Last updated: 2026-05-22
This roadmap outlines the development plan for DMARQ with an enhanced focus on security, code quality, and preparation for agentic coding (AI-assisted development). This document supersedes previous roadmap versions with security milestones integrated throughout.
This roadmap tracks implementation status and near-term engineering priorities. The project has moved beyond the initial MVP and now needs production-grade import visibility, better reporting, and hardened operations.
**Last Updated**: 2026-02-06
**Status**: Active Development
## Current Status
---
Complete:
- Core DMARC aggregate parsing for XML, ZIP, and GZIP reports.
- Secure XML parsing with `defusedxml`.
- Upload validation and archive safety checks.
- IMAP mailbox ingestion.
- Gmail OAuth ingestion.
- Persistent database models and migrations.
- Domain, report, settings, and mail source APIs.
- Dashboard and domain detail views.
- Logto auth integration and local development auth-disabled mode.
- DNS resolver foundation and DNS-related endpoint tests.
## Current Status (Milestone 1 - COMPLETE ✅)
Recently improved:
- Gmail ingestion now matches the real Google DMARC report messages found in the connected inbox.
- Gmail import now uses the same parser path as uploads and IMAP.
- Gmail and IMAP imports now skip duplicate domain/report IDs.
- Tests cover Google-style DMARC ZIP attachment imports.
### Achievements
- ✅ Basic DMARC report parsing (XML, ZIP, GZIP)
- ✅ In-memory storage for up to 5 domains
- ✅ Simple dashboard UI
- ✅ Report upload functionality
- ✅ Domain overview with compliance stats
## Active Milestone: Reporting Quality and Import Confidence
### Security Status
⚠️ **Multiple critical security issues identified** - See [SECURITY.md](../../SECURITY.md) for details
Objective: make mailbox imports auditable and make report totals trustworthy.
---
Priority tasks:
- Persist import attempts with message ID, source, attachment filename, outcome, and sanitized error details.
- Show import history on mail source detail pages.
- Report duplicate skips separately from parse failures.
- Add backfill controls for Gmail and IMAP sources.
- Improve source rollups so a source IP tracks pass/fail counts over time.
## Security Remediation Sprint (PRIORITY - In Progress)
Quality bar:
- Importing the same mailbox twice must not change aggregate totals.
- Parse failures must be visible and actionable.
- The user should be able to tell whether a mail source is healthy without reading logs.
**Timeline**: Immediate (Next 2-4 weeks)
**Status**: 🔄 In Progress
## Next Milestone: Meaningful Reports
### Critical Fixes Required
Objective: turn parsed DMARC data into administrator-friendly reports.
