# Epic objective

Owner-facing **roadmap browser** for `markdown_backlog_items` (imported from `plans/`): Plan → Epic → Task tree with status, detail, and **Start** that creates a Mission Control convoy from a ready task — without reading the git tree in the IDE.

This is the “dive into a repo and see upcoming work” slice of the owner cockpit vision. Distinct from Mission Control (convoys) and Fleet (cross-repo attention).

## In scope / out of scope

**In scope**

- Route `/{workspaceSlug}/plans` (icon-rail entry)
- tRPC list/tree/get for backlog items (workspace-scoped)
- Status filters (`ready`, `in_progress`, `done`, …)
- Task detail drawer: title, body summary, status, workflow prompt (reuse backlog tRPC)
- **Start** on `ready` tasks → `create_convoy` (or tRPC equivalent) prefilled from task
- Link out to `repo_path` / file path for power users
- Optional simple milestone strip (epics as milestones) — v1 can be hierarchical list only

**Out of scope**

- Replacing git as SoT for plan markdown (import remains)
- Autopilot ideation
- Timeline Gantt (follow-on if needed)
- Fleet cross-workspace (Epic 9)

## Dependencies

- Markdown importer + `markdown_backlog_items` (shipped)
- Epic 4 convoy create (shipped)
- Epic 5 Mission Control (shipped)

## Blocks

- Ops copilot “what’s next?” grounded answers (Epic 12)
- Owner Start-from-UI without Cursor

## Acceptance criteria

- [ ] Operator sees Plan-automation-foundation tree after import without opening git
- [ ] Filter “ready” shows only ready tasks
- [ ] Start on a ready task creates a draft convoy visible on Mission Control
- [ ] Non-members cannot read another workspace’s backlog
