Quorate v0.10 Roadmap Gates

On June 24 I shipped the v0.10 roadmap gates for Code Council / Quorate. The project is simple to describe: several AI reviewers inspect the same code and the CLI turns their disagreement into a useful review. The engineering work is less simple, because a multi-model tool needs guardrails before it needs more spectacle.

What a roadmap gate means

For a CLI like Quorate, a gate is a threshold that prevents a release from being just a pile of features. It asks whether the package can be installed, whether the command surface is understandable, whether model/provider failures degrade cleanly, whether review output is actionable, and whether the release path is repeatable.

Why this matters for AI review

AI review tools fail in two predictable ways. They either produce polished generic advice, or they bury a useful finding inside a long unranked transcript. Quorate's value is the council pattern: independent reviewers, model disagreement, and a synthesized output that gives the developer a short list of things worth checking.

What comes next

The next layer is better evidence handling. A council review should show which model found what, which findings survived synthesis, and which were dropped as weak. The more explicit that trail is, the easier it is to trust the tool without pretending the tool is infallible.
