docs: roadmap — Frontend MVP next (Svelte + DaisyUI, mirrored-backend methodology), then dedup/storage

User-set roadmap: (1) Frontend MVP — Svelte + DaisyUI, but ONLY after a careful design pass that maps the backend's methodology (minimal core + extensions, typed contracts, pure-core/inject-effects, one-owner, asymmetric testing) onto the frontend. Old Dispatch FE is reference-only; port 24204 reserved. Seed doc at notes/frontend-design.md (IDEATION mode — design WITH the user before any summon). (2) dedup/storage growth (D5 volume-control + prefix.fingerprint + §6 retention) — already designed, sequenced after the FE. Re-sequenced the deferred storage item. When FE build begins: retire AGENTS.md 'Backend only' line + author new frontend scoped rules + update ORCHESTRATOR §3/§7.

+## ROADMAP — what's next (user-decided, §5.2)
+
+### Next: Frontend MVP
+Svelte + DaisyUI (same stack as old Dispatch). **Careful design pass FIRST** — the FE
+must be built with the SAME methodology as the backend (minimal core + feature modules,
+typed contracts as the only cross-unit surface, pure-core / inject-effects / no ambient
+state, one owner per unit, asymmetric testing). A dedicated design scratch lives at
+`notes/frontend-design.md` (IDEATION mode — design WITH the user before any summon).
+
+The old Dispatch frontend (`/home/tradam/projects/dispatch/dispatch-source`) is
+REFERENCE-ONLY for UX/tech — do NOT copy its architecture. Port `FRONTEND_PORT=24204` is
+reserved in `.env`. When frontend BUILD begins: retire the AGENTS.md "Backend only for
+now (no frontend)" line, author new scoped `.dispatch/rules/frontend-*.md`, and update
+ORCHESTRATOR.md §7 (repo geography) + §3 (rule scoping map).
+
+### After Frontend MVP: dedup / storage growth
+The deferred trace-body de-duplication + rotation/compression (D5 volume-control +
+`prefix.fingerprint` + §6 retention strategy) — already designed in
+`notes/observability-design.md`, not yet built. `cacheReadTokens` (committed) is the
+cheap dedup signal; the workspace is ready. Prioritized AFTER the frontend per user
+roadmap.
