Future directions

• WebAssembly-based plugin sandboxes for safe, portable extensions.
• Visual pipeline editors integrated with the shell for easier composition.
• Stronger observability: built-in tracing, metrics, and replayable session recordings.
• Edge deployment models with tiny runtimes for on-device streaming and control.
