Pear / Bare application that owns the canonical system Hyperdrive: it walks a kernel tree on disk, writes /boot/init.js, /bin/*, /etc/* into the drive (no host temp dirs), builds a 512-byte MBR with the drive key, joins Hyperswarm on bare-os-v1, and serves MBR block reads + Protomux bare-os-v1 replication to peers.

Run

From package directory (after npm ci at repo root):

node index.js

Or with Bare/Pear:

npm run pear:dev

From repo root (recommended — fixes workspace node_modules for Pear):

npm run os:seeder

Environment

Variable	Meaning
`BARE_OS_KERNEL_ROOT`	Absolute path to kernel tree to stage (default: package `kernel/` vendored copy, or repo `kernel/` under Node `file:` URL)
`BARE_OS_HOST_DATA`	Base directory for host state (default `~/.bare-os`)
`BARE_OS_SEED_STORE`	Corestore directory (default `~/.bare-os/corestore/seeder`)

Pear vs Node

import.meta.url is file: — seeder may dynamically import bare-os-coreutils/build.mjs and rebuild /bin before staging.
pear: bundle — coreutils must be pre-built into kernel/bin/; run npm run build -w bare-os-coreutils before pear run.

Layout

Path	Role
`index.js`	Entry: Corestore, Hyperdrive, `stageKernelTree`, swarm, `setupSeedChannel`
`lib/paths.js`	`packageRootDir`, kernel root, Corestore path (Pear RTI–aware)
`kernel/`	Vendored mirror of repo `kernel/` for Pear staging

Dependencies

bare-os-protocol (workspace), hyperdrive, corestore, hyperswarm, protomux, b4a, compact-encoding, safety-catch, bare-os.
