This page lists user-visible planned work and known gaps. It does not cover internal training or evaluation pipelines.
Current release
Nassila 1.10.1 · Packaged network parity — Keep-my-title / DOI lookup / autocorrect online / input-bar Resolve now work in installed builds (registry calls moved to the main process). Builds on 1.10.0 · Masdar Papers. See Changelog.
Release train (planned)
App versions use worker-themed codenames. Suggested near-term cuts (not dated — announced when ready). Detail aligns with Nassila docs/Nassila-Ouroboros-Future.md §5.
| Version | Codename | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| 2.0.0 | MaktabOCR + Shahid | Arabic/vision OCR + table/figure evidence (Tier 3 + multimodal gate) |
| 2.1.0 | Sanad Arabic | FT-7 Arabic train slice + holdout; Arabic-aware mapping |
Recommended cut order: 1.8.0 (shipped) → 1.10.0 Masdar Papers (shipped) → (Tier 3 + multimodal gate) → 2.0.0 → 2.1.0.
Sanad FT-6 shipped on Hugging Face (2026-08-21) — Hub/GGUF only; no 1.9.0 installer. Use the current app with updated GGUFs.
2.0.0 — MaktabOCR + Shahid
- Arabic/vision OCR for scan PDFs (replaces deferred Tesseract
ara) - Table/figure evidence path (gated on Tier 3 holdout + separate multimodal eval)
- Model-assisted grey lit: suggest CSL fields — user confirms before apply
2.1.0 — Sanad Arabic
- FT-7 native Arabic grounding train + frozen AR holdout
- Until then: Arabic UI yes; Arabic L3 grounding unvalidated

Worker maturity
| Worker | Today (1.10.0) | Target |
|---|---|---|
| Raqim | L1/L2, Resolve, statute, web gray lit; Wayback gating | Grey-lit confirm-before-apply → 2.0 |

Manuscript loop (Tier 3 direction)
Today: Upload/paste → parse References → L1/L2 → OA PDF/abstract/attach → Sanad when enabled.
Target: One upload; Maktab segments; Masdar ingests cited PDFs; Sanad runs per cite without manual paste; Shahid for tables/figures (2.0.0).
Webpage and grey-web citations
Deterministic path shipped in 1.5.0 Raqim Web. Model-assisted follow-ons planned for 2.0.0:
Baseline and reliability (shipped 1.5.0)
- HTTP status, content-type, redirect logging
- Dead-link visibility; paywall / archive hints
- Host-specific parsers where stable (prefer code over model)
App refinements (no model required)
- OpenAlex consistency when
typestayswebpage - Locale-aware accessed-date copy
- Batch re-fetch metadata suggestions
- Wayback availability gating — shipped 1.10.0
Model-assisted (2.0.0+)
When trained facets ship, they may help with:
| Scenario | Notes |
|---|---|
| Suggest CSL fields from page signals | User confirms before apply |
| Platform / grey-literature typing | YouTube, social, Substack, etc. |
| Explain fetch failures | PDF URL, Cloudflare, dead link |
Bibliography bridge (shipped)
v1.1.2 sends manuscript References to Bibliography and supports audit from Bibliography library with manuscript-ref:N cite keys. See Bibliography bridge.
Long-term (not scheduled)
After 2.1 — without version numbers or dates until promoted.
| Item | Notes |
|---|---|
| Unified seven-worker GGUF pack | Prefer independent checkpoints over one huge pack |
| Full multimodal Shahid | Beyond the gated 2.0.0 slice |
| Embedded browser for institutional login | Last resort after OA, attach, open DOI in browser, library proxy |
| Default cloud LLM | Local Sanad (9B) stays the primary path |
| Cloud collaboration / sync | Needs project model and privacy beyond local .nassila files |
| Open-ended drafting / cover letters | Out of scope — integrity workflow, not authorship |
| Notification center | Not planned — light toasts only |
| Fuzzy auto-apply on grey lit | Near-term path: confirm before apply (2.0.0) |
| 3.0.0 Ouroboros | Closed loop; crash recovery; signed installers |
What we will not promise here
- A full reference-manager replacement
- Default cloud LLM (local Sanad remains primary)
- Automatic paywall bypass via Unpaywall email
- In-app training tables, eval scores, or internal checkpoint gates
- Arabic L3 grounding quality until FT-7 ships (2.1.0)
