if=/dev/zero with finite count*bs now produces requested size directly (not limited by VFS 64KiB pseudo-file).
Raw stdout now uses bareOsEmitRaw, improving pipeline correctness.
Fixed pipeline capture path for FIFO-relevant commands
echo and cat now emit via bareOsEmitRaw (packages/bare-os-coreutils/src/echo.js, packages/bare-os-coreutils/src/cat.js).
Shell pipeline now injects bareOsBinWrite into child contexts when output is captured, so raw writes are captured (packages/bare-os-booter/lib/shell.js).
Improved xattr behavior in packages/bare-os-coreutils/src/xattr.js
Added -p/--print NAME.
-w now logs written attribute name for visible success feedback.
Roundtrip behaviors preserved with sidecar metadata format.
Improved ACL UX in:
packages/bare-os-coreutils/src/getfacl.js
Explicit source header for sidecar and mode fallback (non-compact mode).
packages/bare-os-coreutils/src/setfacl.js
Added -m/--modify ENTRY in addition to stdin blob and -b.
Implemented dynamic ulimit output in packages/bare-os-coreutils/src/ulimit.js
Reads /proc/bare_os/rlimits.json when available.
Supports -a, -n, -Sn, -Hn.
Added shuf -e support in packages/bare-os-coreutils/src/shuf.js.
Added split byte-suffix parsing (k/K/m/M/g/G) and attached -bSIZE support in packages/bare-os-coreutils/src/split.js.
Expose /proc/bare_os/metrics.prom (kernel counter OpenMetrics) and
/proc/bare_os/protomux.json (alias registry snapshot). Extend VFS routing,
readdir, pseudo watch, and bare_os_proc_index to schema 8; restore flat
/proc entries for syscalls and process_table with sort order matching
tests. Add ctx.bareOsAuditLogAppendBatch and bump BARE_OS_CTX_API_VERSION
to 1.30.0 with d.ts and compatibility-matrix updates.
Harden swarm peer ban backoff with jitter on the exponential window.
Refresh conformance matrix, environment appendix, booter package doc, and
handbook chapters for proc paths, param expansion V3, vault at rest, and
baretop snapshot keys. Align baretop-snapshot with bareOsReadBareTopSnapshot.
