Original prompt

It's time to update the Roadmap we have in discussions. This is the copy pasted markdown from December. can you update this given the 13.2 milestones completion?

Aspire Roadmap - End of Year Update (December 2025)

Since our 9.5 update, we've shipped two major releases: Aspire 13.0 (November) and Aspire 13.1 (December). This post summarizes our progress against the original roadmap and highlights what's next.

🎉 Major Accomplishments

Aspire 13.0 marked a transformational shift from a .NET-exclusive tool to a full polyglot application platform, elevating Python and JavaScript to first-class status alongside .NET.

Aspire 13.1 introduced comprehensive AI coding agent support through MCP integration and stabilized several key features.

Rebranded to Aspire - We've dropped the ".NET" prefix to reflect our polyglot future. Same great tool, broader vision.

aspire.dev is now live as our official documentation site.
