 ## Project Structure
 
-A Cargo workspace (`Cargo.toml` at the root) plus the Neovim plugin and repo tooling. The build follows the tech-spec §11.1 slice order; crates are added to the workspace as their slice begins, so not every crate below exists yet.
+A Cargo workspace (`Cargo.toml` at the root) plus the Neovim plugin and repo tooling. The build follows the tech-spec §11.1 slice order; the **Rust backend is feature-complete** (all three runtime modes + sync + OIDC auth) — the remaining v1 work is `heph.nvim`. The live progress tracker is **[[tech-spec]] §14**.

-1. ⏳ **Adoption refinement + multi-tenant (§13):** local→authed **adoption** currently rewrites `owner_id` (`adopt_owner`) but not yet the owner-embedded deterministic ids (journal/tag) + their links; and the hub is single-tenant (one owner per store) — owner-per-token storage is a future extension.

+1. ⏳ **`heph.nvim` (§8) — the next slice, the primary surface:** obsidian.nvim parity + task/agenda views over the `hephd` unix socket; headless-nvim e2e (needs `neovim` + `plenary.nvim` on the CI runner). First non-Rust slice — likely wants its own short design pass (Lua layout, RPC client, CI runner setup) before coding.
+2. ⏳ **Adoption refinement + multi-tenant (§13) — non-blocking:** local→authed **adoption** currently rewrites `owner_id` (`adopt_owner`) but not yet the owner-embedded deterministic ids (journal/tag) + their links; and the hub is single-tenant (one owner per store) — owner-per-token storage is a future extension.
+3. ⏳ **Dependency-refresh pass (§11) — before declaring v1 done:** sweep all external deps to latest stable (e.g. `keyring` 3→4, which restructured to `keyring_core`), re-run the full suite.
