Raven Scott aa81fbff5b Close the BareOS shell + Fish REPL roadmap tracker and ship the remaining
shell surfaces in-tree.
Roadmap / CI
- docs/data/shell-roadmap-features.json: all shell-001…shell-100 rows and
  P1–P8 phases marked implemented; note documents closure date and pointers.
- scripts/verify-shell-roadmap.mjs: validate JSON (schema 1, 8 phases,
  100 implemented items) plus existing source needles; wire npm run
  verify:shell-roadmap into root pretest (package.json).
- scripts/README.md: document verifier behavior.
Lexer & expansion (packages/bare-os-booter/lib)
- shell-lex.js: central lexShellLine; ANSI-C $'…' via decodeBareOsDollarQuote;
  keep diagnostics/tokenizer aligned with execution tokenizer.
- shell.js: stray reserved words at statement start → syntax error exit 2;
  optional [[ … ]] when BARE_OS_SHELL_DOUBLE_BRACKET=1 (==, !=);
  alias expansion before function dispatch (ordering tests);
  expandWordWithCmdSubst: balanced $(…) vs skipped $((…)); backtick
  command substitution when BARE_OS_SHELL_CMDSUBST; default ctx.execLine for
  nested cmdsubst when unset; index passthrough for DOUBLE_BRACKET env.
- shell-glob.js: ~login → HOME when USER matches, else /home/login (bounded
  login pattern); tests for pathname + execShellLine.
- shell-tokenizer.js: align with shell-lex detailed spans/modes where needed.
Completion / REPL
- completion-engine.js: completion depth / collectors per shell program work.
- packages/bare-os-booter/index.js: small wiring for shell env passthrough.
/bin/sh front-end
- packages/bare-os-coreutils/src/sh.js; kernel/bin/sh; seeder copies: stay in
  sync with shell behavior and env flags.
Tests
- packages/bare-os-booter/test.js: coverage for misplaced reserved words,
  gated [[ ]], alias vs function, ~user/~~ paths, $'…', cmdsubst $(…) and
  backticks, and related regressions.
Documentation
- docs/reference/shell-grammar.md: $'…', $(…) / backticks vs $((…)).
- handbook/09-posix-utilities-shell-and-vfs.md, environment appendix,
  shell-troubleshooting / shell-unsupported-behavior, release checklist,
  docs/reference/README.md: shell behavior and operator surfaces.
- developer-guide/19-how-to-fish-keybinding-completer.md: Fish keybinding /
  completer how-to (new).
Generated / synced artifacts
- kernel/lib/bare/manifest.json, kernel/share/man/man.json,
  kernel/lib/bare/shell-completion.json, posix_utilities.json,
  docs/audit/bundle-health.json: regenerated or synced with tooling.
- scripts/bench-shell-phases.mjs: bench script touch.

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 canonical system image for booters to replicate (typical dev: one terminal with npm run os:seeder). Eligible already-booted peers can later mirror block 0, but the seeder remains the trust anchor for initial publication.

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.
