Add third capability word (STOCK_V3) and word2 tail bits; seed RPCs snapshot_hints and peer_firewall_stats; /proc mirrors (snapshot_hints, pear_trust, rlimits, hdms_health, initd_graph) and /proc/net/udp; boot policy v3 (requireFeatureBits2/3, Pear IPC allowlist, VFS deny prefixes, initd restart cap); VFS enforcement for boot-policy path denies; delegate in-flight caps; gated shell local/declare; initd path conditions, ordered suspend/resume, OnInactiveSec timers; vfs.watch swarm/replication; validate-example-schemas.mjs + ajv in pretest; extend verify-ctx for V3; bump ctx API to 1.12.0; ADR 001, protocol, handbook, dev-guide, and reference docs; seeder/kernel parity and booter tests. Chore: Prettier table alignment in CHANGELOG and READMEs; compact bareOsRequestPearReload signature in bare-os-ctx.d.ts.
bare-os-seeder
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) |
BARE_OS_SEED_CAPABILITY_ATTESTATION_JSON |
Optional JSON string for seed RPC bare_os.capability_attestation (operators verify on host; guest does not crypto-verify) |
Pear vs Node
import.meta.urlisfile:— seeder may dynamically importbare-os-coreutils/build.mjsandbare-os-bare-libs/build.mjs, rebuilding/binandkernel/lib/barebefore staging.pear:bundle — coreutils and/lib/barebundles must be pre-built intokernel/; runnpm run build -w bare-os-coreutilsandnpm run build -w bare-os-bare-libsbeforepear run(rootnpm run os:seederdoes both).
Layout
| Path | Role |
|---|---|
index.js |
Entry: Corestore, Hyperdrive, stageKernelTree, swarm, setupSeedChannel (RPCs include optional bare_os.snapshot_hints and bare_os.peer_firewall_stats when implemented) |
lib/paths.js |
packageRootDir, kernel root, Corestore path (Pear RTI–aware) |
kernel/ |
Vendored mirror of repo kernel/ for Pear staging — must match kernel/ byte-for-byte (npm test pretest runs scripts/verify-kernel-seeder-parity.mjs) |
