Complete the full planned effort for the detailed ctx.bare code audit
and the new ctx.pear surface, delivering the ability to create, stage,
and integrate real Pear applications from within a booted Bare OS.
### Audit (ctx.bare)
- Performed exhaustive code audit of bare-os-ctx-bare.js (host import
path, drive bundle eval + require.addon wrappers, referrer workarounds).
- Inventoried all manifest/bundle verifiers and related scripts.
- Researched manifest format, implicit tiering model, and dual loading
strategy (JSON + .data.mjs).
- Deep analysis of the local Holepunch clone (bare-* and pear-* packages)
to identify realistic guest vs host-delegate boundaries.
- Full cross-reference of call sites, greps, and historical pain points
(pear:// referrer resolution, nativeHint handling, addon stubs).
### Implementation (ctx.pear)
- Added `pearEntries` tier to bare-module-manifest.json with initial
high-value packages (pear-build, pear-bundle, pear-ref, etc.).
- Implemented `loadPearModuleManifest()` and `buildPearCtxObjectFromHost()`.
- Wired ctx.pear exposure through the booter into the guest context.
- Updated TypeScript definitions (`bare-os-ctx.d.ts`).
### User-Facing Surface
- Created full `/bin/pear` command with `help`, `info`, `list`, `init`
(functional skeleton creation), and improved `stage` subcommands.
- Registered as Tier-1 command (now 183 total commands).
- Added man page and rebuilt coreutils (kernel + seeder).
### Agent Autonomy
- Created production-quality `pear-dev` agent skill.
- Added to skill seed list with cross-references to the appstore skill.
### P2P App Store Integration
- Updated appstore skill with explicit Pear development synergy section.
- Updated p2p-app-store design doc to document the new closed loop.
- Added cross-references in both skills and design documents.
### Verification & Hygiene
- Created `scripts/verify-pear-module-manifest-data.mjs`.
- Enhanced `verify-pear-no-static-node-import.mjs` with explicit pear
command coverage.
- Integrated new verifier into release-checklist and agent hints.
- Performed comprehensive zero-TODO/scaffolding sweep across all new
Pear artifacts (clean).
- Multiple full verification harness runs (all green).
### Documentation & Governance
- Added complete "Pear Development Environment" thread to feature-roadmap.md.
- Updated developer guide (Chapter 12).
- Maintained living plan document and detailed audit notes with full
Implementation Log throughout.
- Updated command counts across READMEs and supporting docs.
All changes follow project governance:
- Bare-only guest constraints strictly observed
- Verifier-first discipline maintained
- Living plan + audit documents kept as single source of truth
- Production quality bar matching the completed P2P App Store feature
Plan items 04–21 completed.
See:
- docs/design/ctx-pear-surface-and-bare-audit-plan.md
- docs/audit/ctx-bare-audit-notes.md (full audit + implementation log)
source via build.mjs). Ship lib/baresay-engine.js for wrapping, balloons,
and cowfile parsing; default character is bear under /share/baresay/.cow.
Register commands, man pages, rebuild man/completion/posix index, sync
kernel to seeder, bump Tier-1 command count in docs to 155, and add a
test that say and baresay bundles match.
- Document interactive shell vs /bin/sh in bare-os-shell man, handbook §9,
kill(1), and shell-completion guide
- Resolve kill %n and %% to synthetic PIDs via shellBackgroundJobs
- Add disown builtin; jobs -p (pgid-only) and -l (pid column); set -o/+o to
print errexit/nounset/pipefail/noglob
- Expand completion-engine fallback flags for common utilities
- Persist lines to /.bare/repl_history_<USER> when BARE_OS_REPL_HISTORY=1
and Fish REPL is off (repl-session + cli-readline)
- Tests: kill job specs, set -o output, jobs -p
(staged as /lib/init/init-main.js); point bundle-kernel-init and verify
scripts at the new path.
Wire curl, wget, openssl, ssh-keygen, and tar through coreutils and
booter host delegates with booter-side CLI helpers; refresh related
bins, bare manifest, shell completion, and man DB (kernel + seeder).
Add booter support modules for ACL evaluation, audit chain, secret
handles, peer admission, replication priority, process table, swarm
lifecycle, boot-graph proc, metrics, monotonic time, protomux alias
registry, and swarm peer policy; extend extension resolver, VFS,
swarm connection managers, IPC, identity-account, and initd.
Harden bare-os-bare-libs build on esbuild failure; add verify scripts
for extension manifest schema and runtime incomplete markers; extend
ctx API typings, gen-ctx-client-stub, and verify-ctx-dts.
Update boot hook fragment, bundled init.js, handbook and reference
docs (incl. kernel security and VFS path classes).
