Raven Scott 15209b4837 feat(booter): hrpc allowlist parser, snapshot hints parity, shell pipefix, safer mv staging
- Add bare-os-hrpc-allowlist.js; wire stock bareOsHrpcRequest + bareOsHrpcAllowlistProbe;
  passthrough BARE_OS_HRPC_ALLOWLIST_JSON and operator env for snapshot/blind-relay/mirror/pear-doctor
- Merge BARE_OS_CORESTORE_SNAPSHOT_WORKFLOW_JSON into bareOsReadSnapshotHintsJson (match proc)
- Shell: pipefail runs all pipeline stages; aggregate first non-zero exit after assign prefixes
- mv: stage renames via vfs.resolveLogical so temp files stay in writable destination dir
- coreutils: POSIX-style split suffixes past zz; xargs doc for -P vs host subprocess
- identity-session: stable Error.code for no-account / passphrase failures
- Docs: KERNEL_CONTRACT, POSIX profile, handbook 5/7/9, kernel-extensions strict-boot table,
  env appendix, developer-guide + scripts README, protocol/booter CHANGELOGs; hrpc allowlist schema
- Tests: hrpc allowlist, pear_doctor schema 2, split suffix, pipefail pipeline; fix PLACEHOLDER_BASELINE link

Pretest: refreshed kernel bins, man.json, posix dashboard, bundle health, seeder parity

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.

Documentation: User manual · Handbook · Seeder reference · Protocol reference.

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

  • 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.url is file: — seeder may dynamically import bare-os-coreutils/build.mjs and bare-os-bare-libs/build.mjs, rebuilding /bin and kernel/lib/bare before staging.
  • pear: bundle — coreutils and /lib/bare bundles must be pre-built into kernel/; run npm run build -w bare-os-coreutils and npm run build -w bare-os-bare-libs before pear run (root npm run os:seeder does both).

Layout

  • 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.jspackageRootDir, kernel root, Corestore path (Pear RTIaware)
  • 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)

Dependencies

bare-os-protocol (workspace), hyperdrive, corestore, hyperswarm, protomux, b4a, compact-encoding, safety-catch, bare-os.
