The Spark DadaTracker
Evidence-backed tracking, roadmaps, progress, migration, installations, questionnaires, release gates, and artifacts for The Spark and F.O.U.R.
InstaDater
InstaDater is the lifecycle transaction engine. F.O.U.R. Desktop is the user-facing install and update authority.

Build the one and only transaction-safe lifecycle engine for all of The Spark—including F.O.U.R., LPS, Forgey AIO, Forgey Foundry, Utilities, applications, components, profiles, clients, and itself—controlled through the future F.O.U.R. Desktop rather than Forgey Desktop.

InstaDater Roadmap
Build the one and only transaction-safe lifecycle engine for all of The Spark—including F.O.U.R., LPS, Forgey AIO, Forgey Foundry, Utilities, applications, components, profiles, clients, and itself—controlled through the future F.O.U.R. Desktop rather than Forgey Desktop.
This roadmap explains the planned the spark-wide unified installation, update, repair, migration, and rollback engine. It is imported as an approved planning source; implementation progress still requires evidence.

Bare Minimum
- Install, update, repair, and roll back fixture versions of at least two components with complete evidence and no live damage.
Comfortable target
- Reliable multi-device lifecycle management with staged rollout, health gates, self-repair, diagnostics, protected cleanup, fast rollback, and F.O.U.R. Desktop control.
Green pause point
Complete a fixture update and forced-failure rollback with exact evidence and 30-day retention simulation, then pause.
Dependencies
- The Spark/F.O.U.R. hierarchy decision
- F.O.U.R. Desktop roadmap
- Shared Schemas
- Component manifests
- Forgey Control authorization policy
- Cross-Device Router transport
- Device deployment
Blockers
- This supersedes the earlier provisional rule that F.O.U.R. was 100% of The Spark.
- The logical parent changed, but the current source candidate remains physically under Forgey Foundry until separately authorized relocation.
- Foundry component weights must be rebalanced because InstaDater is no longer a Foundry-weighted child.
- Thirty-day deletion must not remove the only known-good rollback point, an open-incident backup, or a legally/Owner-protected backup.
- The future F.O.U.R. Desktop control contract does not yet have its own approved roadmap.
- Package signing, channels, canonical baseline, and remote update policy remain unresolved.

- Canonical candidate: Current candidate: D:\THE SPARK\FOUR\03_Forgey_Foundry\01_Engines\01_InstaDater; logical top-level source placement pending
- Special rule: This is the newest parent-weight decision and supersedes F.O.U.R.=100%.
- Special rule: No source move is authorized by this roadmap.
- Special rule: Backups older than 30 days are eligible for deletion only after protected-exception checks.
