Adds ROADMAP.md, setting out the planned release sequence and recording the triage of the outstanding upstream backlog.

Release sequence

The principle is to ship every non-breaking improvement first, then bundle everything already known to be breaking into a single major release, so users absorb the upgrade cost once.

Colour is split out of #19 deliberately: PR #38's author flags native colour maths as differing subtly from Sass, which makes it a major-version change. The non-colour half has no such problem and can ship early.

Within v2.0.0 the order matters — #49 (folder move) must land before #54 (module migration), since the migration rewrites every relative import path and doing it first means writing them twice.

Backlog triage

#5 and #14 are lists of unreviewed upstream work rather than changes in themselves. Every item has been checked against current source:

  • Ported into releases — seven fixes and eight features, assigned to v1.2.1 and v1.3.0
  • Recommended won't-fix — six PRs, including two IE-only fixes now that IE support has been dropped, one .less patch against a Sass-only codebase, and the pre-fork @use attempt (too stale to merge, but useful reference for @use and @forward #54)
  • Out of scope — four docs PRs belonging on the spectre-docs backlog
  • Needs redesign — upstream #424 describes a real .show-* bug but its fix just moves the breakage from flex content onto block content

None of the upstream 0.5.10 branch has been merged. Notes are included on cleaning up the column ordering utilities during the port — dropping IE prefixes, adding a missing !default, and removing rules redundantly re-emitted in every breakpoint.

Closes #5
Closes #14

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Sets out the planned release sequence, from the v1.2.1 housekeeping patch
through to the v2.0.0 module system overhaul, and records the triage of
issues #5 and #14 against the current source.

Every upstream PR listed in #5, and every change on the upstream 0.5.10
branch, has been checked against current source and assigned to a release,
recommended as won't-fix, or flagged as needing a redesigned fix.

Records what each release needs from the spectre-docs repo, and how the
docs site is wired up: the sidebar is generated from folder structure and
frontmatter, so most new pages need no config change, but the JS badge list
is hard-coded and dark mode is currently disabled outright.

Also notes that the flat source paths #48 changes are a documented public
API, and sets out the forwarding-shim option that would let the folder move
happen without breaking them.
