michael 615d4a6115 docs: roadmap index + custom-14a-command plans + backfill plan docs
- Add docs/plans/README.md as the roadmap index cataloguing all design/plan docs.
- Add the custom ISO14443-A command handling design + plan (L3 NTAG I2C
  SECTOR_SELECT / cross-sector reads + native auth; L4 static APDUs + WTX relay),
  produced from a multi-agent design workflow.
- Backfill previously-uncommitted plan docs (trace-formatter, ndef-trace-decode,
  live-sniff, firmware-upstream-rebase, 14a-live-trace) and NTAG5_SECURITY.md.
- Sync CLAUDE.md package structure with the committed transponder models.

pm3py roadmap — design & implementation plans

This directory is the project roadmap: dated design docs (*-design.md) and implementation plans (*-plan.md). Each file is a self-contained spec — problem, approach, concrete steps, tests, risks.

Status column is best-effort, inferred from the codebase and memory at the time of writing (2026-07-05). Correct it if a plan's real state differs. Legend: landed · 🔄 in progress · 📋 planned · 📎 reference/ongoing.

ISO 14443-A sim expansion

Plan Status Summary
2026-07-05-14a-live-trace-plan 🔄 Live reader↔tag trace for the 14a sim (firmware ring + EmLogTrace capture + pm3py consumer). Code complete; flush + direct-send-capture fixes awaiting hardware verify.
2026-07-05-14a-custom-commands-design 📋 Design: how to serve custom 14a-3 (NTAG I2C SECTOR_SELECT + cross-sector reads) and 14a-4 (vendor ISO-DEP APDUs) commands — table-first L3 + WTX-L4 hybrid layered on the native-EML sim.
2026-07-05-14a-custom-commands-plan 📋 Plan: sequenced L3 + L4 tracks — sim_table hook, sector-offset graft, WTX relay, TableCompiler extension, tests.

Sim framework & response table

Plan Status Summary
2026-03-17-stateful-table-firmware-design Response-table sim in firmware BigBuf: stateful sim_table + sim_crypto, group/auth state.
2026-03-17-stateful-table-firmware-plan Implementation of the above (15693 sim fully working: inventory, NDEF, NXP custom commands).
2026-03-17-table-compiler-update-plan TableCompiler / ResponseTable — compile per-IC responses into the 120-byte entry format.

Trace & sniff

Plan Status Summary
2026-03-17-trace-formatter-design TraceFormatter — colored, decoded, column-wrapped trace output (sim/reader/sniff modes).
2026-03-17-trace-formatter-plan Implementation of the trace formatter.
2026-03-18-ndef-trace-decode NDEF TLV/record decode for trace annotation.
2026-03-19-live-sniff-design Live streaming sniff (firmware CMD_HF_SNIFF_STREAM + SniffSession).
2026-03-19-live-sniff-plan Implementation of live sniff.

Package refactor & migration

Plan Status Summary
2026-03-18-refactor-design Split the monolith into core/, trace/, sniff/, sim/, transponders/.
2026-03-18-refactor-progress Progress log for the refactor (complete, all on master).
2026-03-18-sim-migration Migrate the sim framework into the new package layout.

Firmware maintenance

Plan Status Summary
2026-07-03-firmware-upstream-rebase-plan 📎 Rebase the proxmark3-pm3py fork against upstream PM3 (atomic single-file-commit workflow).

Conventions

  • Naming: YYYY-MM-DD-<topic>-{design,plan}.md. A design doc explains why and what; a plan doc gives sequenced, implementation-grade steps. Small features may have only a -plan.md.
  • Firmware changes land as atomic single-file commits anchored to stable symbols (not line numbers) for easy rebase against upstream — see the firmware-upstream-rebase plan.
  • Provenance: plans produced with multi-agent design workflows note it in a Provenance section.
