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.

Migrate booter and seeder host file/path access to bare-fs/bare-path via package
imports while keeping Node defaults for dev/CI; extend CI to reject bare fs/path
imports on Pear surfaces.
Wire bareOsPearUpdaterDelegate through pear-runtime-updater-style dynamic import,
expand process table and signal routing, add system RO alias mount and optional
Hyperbee bin hint, protomux proc metrics, cron dom/dow OR rule, boot-perf detail
with optional bare-hrtime, /lib/bare warm cache with metrics_live warmReadCache,
vault threat-model and users-manual crypto pointers, Pear inspect emit, gated
shell break/continue, kernel-ext-graph output and example schema, POSIX compliance
matrix + verifier in pretest.
Harden ACL sidecar evaluation toward POSIX-like mask semantics; tighten test/expr/
printf edge cases and man JSON; add blind-bootstrap/DHT registry protocol test and
troubleshooting notes; refresh handbook, KERNEL_CONTRACT, environment appendix, and
reference hub links.
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.
