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.

packages/bare-os-booter/index.js
Added ctx.bareOsTelnetConnect(host, port, opts) that prefers ctx.bare.bareTcp.createConnection, then new bareTcp.Socket(), with explicit diagnostics if unavailable.
packages/bare-os-coreutils/src/telnet.js already preferred ctx.bareOsTelnetConnect, so it now uses this richer path first automatically.
Added missing ssh command:
New file: packages/bare-os-coreutils/src/ssh.js
Supports -h/--help
Delegates to ctx.bareOsRunSshCli when present
Emits explicit nonzero unavailable/runtime diagnostics when absent
Registered command:
packages/bare-os-coreutils/lib/commands.mjs
Hardened HDMS create mount visibility:
packages/bare-os-booter/lib/hdms-manager.js
hdms create now verifies mount visibility via getMountMap().has(label) and errors non-silently if missing.
Success message now includes mount path (mounted=/mnt/<label>).
Fixed parser/semantics and explicit failures:
packages/bare-os-coreutils/src/kill.js
-1 is now treated as a target (not misparsed as signal shorthand), so kill -TERM -1 is explicit/non-silent.
packages/bare-os-coreutils/src/test.js
Numeric test comparisons now emit diagnostic + exit 2 for empty integer operand cases (keeps existing non-decimal behavior stable).
packages/bare-os-coreutils/src/crontab.js
Explicitly rejects stdin/fd-style installs (-, /dev/fd/*, /proc/self/fd/*) with nonzero error.
Updated ctx typings:
packages/bare-os-booter/lib/bare-os-ctx.d.ts
Added bareOsRunSshCli?
Added bareOsTelnetConnect?
Implement the 50-point Holepunch alignment roadmap with a first-pass delivery across coreutils commands, policy examples, audit tooling, and docs. This adds new operator CLIs (appctl/corestorectl/ctxbaredoctor/dhtctl/trustctl), tiered catalog and runtime-compat reports, release-checklist integration, contributor guidance, and kernel/seeder mirrored artifacts for app registry, trust, network services, corestore namespaces, and update manifest workflows.
Add configurable reasoning/process visibility to /bin/agent via ~/.agent/config.json and setup wizard prompts, including bounded output and optional tool trace display. Expand agent capabilities with operational tools for service/timer inspection, cron/audit log reads, boot policy and kernel extension resolution, plus a new seeded agent-ops skill and updated workspace docs/tests to support the new automation workflow.
