Raven Scott 98dd91020e feat(shell): job-aware kill, disown, jobs/set flags, fallback REPL history
- 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

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.

When to use: run the seeder when you want to publish the system image for booters to replicate (typical dev: one terminal with npm run os:seeder).

Documentation: Concepts — Boot · Seeder reference · User manual ch.3 · 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.
