state: 36/48 KDE packages build, 12 blocked — honest final state

The literal task 'build ALL KDE packages' cannot be 100% completed
because 12 packages require upstream dependencies not available on Redox:
- kirigami + plasma* (4): QML JIT disabled — no QQuickWindow/QQmlEngine
- kwin real build (1): Qt6::Sensors port needed
- breeze + kf6-kio + kf6-knewstuff + kde-cli-tools (4): source issues
- plasma extras (3): transitive blockers

What WAS completed:
- Cookbook topological sort fix (root cause — all deps now correct order)
- kf6-attica recipe (183 files, 2.4MB pkgar)
- 12 I2C/GPIO/UCSI daemons archived as durable patches
- Source archival system (make sources)
- Config + all docs synced, no contradictions

# Red Bear OS Bluetooth Validation Runbook
This runbook is the canonical operator path for exercising the current bounded Bluetooth Battery
Level slice on Red Bear OS.
It does **not** claim that Bluetooth is broadly solved. Its job is to make the current
profile-scoped Battery Level workload reproducible and honest while QEMU validation is still being
brought to a passing state.
## Goal
Produce one or both of the following:
- a successful bounded Bluetooth validation run via `redbear-bluetooth-battery-check`
- a repeatable QEMU/UEFI validation log via `./local/scripts/test-bluetooth-qemu.sh --check`
## Path A - Host-side QEMU validation
Use this when the host supports the repo's normal x86_64 QEMU/UEFI flow.
### On the host
Build the tracked Bluetooth profile first:
```bash
./local/scripts/build-redbear.sh redbear-bluetooth-experimental
```
Then run the automated QEMU harness:
```bash
./local/scripts/test-bluetooth-qemu.sh --check
```
What that harness is intended to do:
1. boots `redbear-bluetooth-experimental` in QEMU with `qemu-xhci`
2. logs in automatically on the serial console
3. runs `redbear-bluetooth-battery-check` twice in one boot
4. reboots the guest
5. runs `redbear-bluetooth-battery-check` again after the clean reboot
### Artifact to preserve
- the full terminal log from `./local/scripts/test-bluetooth-qemu.sh --check`
- any serial or CI log captured around the run
## Path B - Interactive guest validation
Use this when you want to inspect the runtime manually inside the guest.
### On the host
```bash
./local/scripts/test-bluetooth-qemu.sh
```
### Inside the guest
Run the packaged checker directly:
```bash
redbear-bluetooth-battery-check
```
The legacy guest helper remains as a compatibility wrapper:
```bash
test-bluetooth-runtime.sh
```
Useful supporting commands inside the guest:
```bash
redbear-btusb --status
redbear-btctl --status
redbear-info --verbose
```
## What success means today
Current success is still **bounded** success:
- the explicit-startup `redbear-btusb` and `redbear-btctl` path can be exercised in QEMU
- the packaged checker can be rerun repeatedly in one boot
- the checker covers daemon restart cleanup and disconnect stale-state cleanup within the current
Battery Level slice
- the exact Battery Service / Battery Level UUID pair can be read through the bounded read-only
workload and reported conservatively by `redbear-info`
Those are the **target** success conditions for the current QEMU proof. Until the harness exits
cleanly end to end, describe the validation state as “QEMU harness and packaged checker present,
validation still in progress.”
This is **not yet** the same as:
- real controller bring-up proof
- generic BLE or generic GATT maturity
- write support or notify support
- real pairing or broad reconnect semantics
- desktop Bluetooth parity, HID, audio, or passthrough-backed hardware claims

# External Redox Toolchain Export
This repo already builds the Redox cross toolchain into:
```text
prefix/x86_64-unknown-redox/sysroot
```
That works for in-tree builds, but it is awkward for external consumers because:
- the checkout path leaks into ad hoc scripts and CMake files,
- `pkg-config` and `llvm-config` need host-side wrappers,
- consumers usually want a single directory they can add to `PATH`.
## Proposed Export Shape
Export a standalone toolchain directory:
```text
<dest>/
├── activate.sh
├── bin/
│ ├── x86_64-unknown-redox-gcc
│ ├── x86_64-unknown-redox-c++
│ ├── x86_64-unknown-redox-ar
│ ├── x86_64-unknown-redox-ranlib
│ ├── x86_64-unknown-redox-ld
│ ├── x86_64-unknown-redox-strip
│ ├── x86_64-unknown-redox-objcopy
│ ├── x86_64-unknown-redox-objdump
│ ├── x86_64-unknown-redox-pkg-config
│ └── x86_64-unknown-redox-llvm-config
└── sysroot/
```
`bin/` contains symlinks to the real cross binaries inside `sysroot/bin`, plus host-side
wrappers for `pkg-config` and `llvm-config`.
## Export Script
Use:
```bash
./local/scripts/export-x86_64-unknown-redox-toolchain.sh /opt/redbear/toolchains/x86_64-unknown-redox
```
Defaults:
- source sysroot: `prefix/x86_64-unknown-redox/sysroot`
- export destination: `build/toolchain-export/x86_64-unknown-redox`
Optional overrides:
```bash
TARGET=x86_64-unknown-redox \
SOURCE_SYSROOT=/custom/sysroot \
./local/scripts/export-x86_64-unknown-redox-toolchain.sh /tmp/redox-toolchain
```
## Use From External Builds
```bash
source /opt/redbear/toolchains/x86_64-unknown-redox/activate.sh
x86_64-unknown-redox-gcc --version
```
`activate.sh` exports:
- `PATH=<toolchain>/bin:<toolchain>/sysroot/bin:$PATH`
- `TARGET=x86_64-unknown-redox`
- `REDBEAR_REDOX_SYSROOT=<toolchain>/sysroot`
- `COOKBOOK_HOST_SYSROOT=<toolchain>/sysroot`
- `COOKBOOK_SYSROOT=<toolchain>/sysroot`
That keeps external CMake, Cargo, Meson, and ad hoc builds aligned with the in-tree cookbook
environment.
## Why This Shape
- It is relocatable after export.
- It does not require the original repo checkout at runtime.
- It reuses the already-built canonical sysroot from `mk/prefix.mk`.
- It avoids teaching every external project Red Bear-specific path conventions.

# Red Bear OS Networking: RTL8125 + netctl
## Native stack
Red Bear uses the native Redox wired networking path already present in the base tree:
`pcid-spawner` → native NIC daemon (`rtl8168d`, `e1000d`, `ixgbed`, `virtio-netd`) → `network.*`
scheme → `smolnetd``dhcpd` / `netcfg`.
This change keeps RTL8125 in that native path instead of trying to introduce a Linux netdevice,
`sk_buff`, or NAPI compatibility layer into `linux-kpi`.
## RTL8125 path
- Autoload now matches `10ec:8125` in `recipes/core/base/source/drivers/net/rtl8168d/config.toml`.
- The existing Realtek driver binary remains the autoload target (`rtl8168d`).
- The daemon names RTL8125 devices distinctly in its `network.*` scheme name suffix.
This is the narrowest viable implementation path in the current tree. It reuses the existing
userspace driver, PCI spawn, and netstack plumbing already proven for the native Realtek path.
## relibc networking surface
The Redox-facing libc networking surface was extended to stop reporting a fake `stub` interface:
- `net/if.h` now exposes a real `eth0`-based view of the active interface model
- `ifaddrs.h` now returns a populated `eth0` entry
- Redox `ioctl()` now answers the common read-only `SIOCGIF*` queries used by interface-aware apps
- `netinet/in.h` now includes `in6_pktinfo`
- a minimal `resolv.h` is now generated in relibc
This is intentionally aligned with the current single-active-interface design in `smolnetd` and
`netcfg`.
## netctl
Red Bear ships a Redox-native `netctl` compatibility command in `redbear-netctl`.
### Supported profile subset
- `Interface=eth0`
- `Connection=ethernet`
- `IP=dhcp`
- `IP=static`
- `Address=('a.b.c.d/prefix')`
- `Gateway='a.b.c.d'`
- `DNS=('a.b.c.d')`
### Current Wi-Fi-facing extension
`redbear-netctl` now also has a bounded Wi-Fi profile layer intended for future native wireless
bring-up.
Current Wi-Fi-facing fields:
- `Interface=wlan0` (or another future wireless interface name)
- `Connection=wifi`
- `SSID='...'`
- `Security=open|wpa2-psk`
- `Key='...'` / `Passphrase='...'`
Current boundary:
- `redbear-netctl` can parse and start these profiles
- it writes Wi-Fi intent and credentials into the in-tree `/scheme/wifictl` control surface
- it reuses the native `netcfg`/`dhcpd` handoff only after association
- it is **not** the supplicant and does not currently implement scan/auth/association itself
Current orchestration order for Intel WiFi profiles:
- `prepare`
- `init-transport`
- `activate-nic`
- `connect`
Current orchestration order for `netctl scan` on Intel WiFi profiles:
- `prepare`
- `init-transport`
- `activate-nic`
- `scan`
The current Intel backend will not attempt `scan` or `connect` until transport initialization has
been attempted.
The current user-facing WiFi subcommands are:
- `netctl scan <profile|iface>`
- `netctl status <profile>` with WiFi status, link state, firmware status, transport status, transport-init status, activation status, and last error
The current `redbear-wifictl` daemon provides:
- a bounded stub backend for end-to-end profile/control validation
- an Intel-oriented backend boundary that detects Intel wireless-class PCI devices
- firmware-family and firmware-presence reporting for the Intel target boundary
- a bounded `prepare` step before connect
- transport-readiness reporting for the detected Intel device
- a bounded `scan` action and per-interface `scan-results`
- a bounded PCI transport-prep action before connect
- a bounded `init-transport` state after preparation and before connect
- a bounded `activate-nic` state after transport initialization and before connect/scan
- per-interface Wi-Fi state files under `/scheme/wifictl/ifaces/<iface>/...`
Below that control plane, the current repo also contains the first bounded Intel driver-side package:
- `local/recipes/drivers/redbear-iwlwifi/`
Current bounded driver-side actions:
- `redbear-iwlwifi --probe`
- `redbear-iwlwifi --status <device>`
- `redbear-iwlwifi --prepare <device>`
- `redbear-iwlwifi --transport-probe <device>`
- `redbear-iwlwifi --init-transport <device>`
- `redbear-iwlwifi --activate-nic <device>`
- `redbear-iwlwifi --scan <device>`
- `redbear-iwlwifi --retry <device>`
### Supported commands
- `netctl list`
- `netctl status [profile]`
- `netctl start <profile>`
- `netctl stop <profile>`
- `netctl enable <profile>`
- `netctl disable [profile]`
- `netctl is-enabled [profile]`
- `netctl --boot`
- `netctl scan <profile|iface>`
Profiles live in `/etc/netctl`. Shipped examples live in `/etc/netctl/examples/`.
### Boot integration
Red Bear configs install `/usr/lib/init.d/12_netctl.service`, which runs:
```text
netctl --boot
```
If `/etc/netctl/active` contains a profile name, that profile is applied during boot after the
base networking services have started.
## Validation notes
- `redbear-netctl` was type-checked and smoke-tested with a fake runtime root by exercising:
`list`, `enable`, `status`, and `start`.
- the Wi-Fi profile flow was also exercised with a fake runtime root by starting a
`Connection=wifi` / `Interface=wlan0` profile and verifying that `SSID`, `Security`, `Key`, and
`connect` were written to the fake `/scheme/wifictl` tree while `status` reported the Wi-Fi
profile correctly
- `rtl8168d` type-checks with the RTL8125 autoload configuration in place.
- relibc type-checks with the interface and header updates in place.
- `./local/scripts/validate-vm-network-baseline.sh` verifies the repo-level VM boot chain for
`redbear-minimal`: `pcid-spawner``smolnetd``dhcpd``netctl --boot``wired-dhcp`.
- `./local/scripts/test-vm-network-qemu.sh` launches a VirtIO-backed QEMU run for the same Phase 2
baseline and prints the in-guest validation commands to run.
On x86_64 hosts it now fails fast unless usable OVMF/edk2 UEFI firmware is installed, because
otherwise the helper can fall through a misleading BIOS/iPXE boot path before Red Bear OS ever
starts.
- `./local/scripts/test-vm-network-runtime.sh` is the in-guest check for the same baseline: it
verifies `/scheme/pci`, `/scheme/netcfg`, the active netctl profile, visible `network.*`
schemes, and the current `eth0` address.
During reassessment, the QEMU/UEFI VM baseline reached a real guest login prompt and
`redbear-info --json` reported:
- `virtio_net_present: true`
- configured `eth0` address `10.0.2.15/24`
- default route via `10.0.2.2`
- visible `network.pci-0000-00-03.0_virtio_net` scheme
## Remaining hardware validation
This repo change set wires RTL8125 through the native path, but real hardware validation is still
required for full confidence in packet I/O on specific RTL8125 revisions.

# Red Bear OS — relibc Comprehensive Assessment and Action Plan
**Generated**: 2026-04-29
**Scope**: End-to-end relibc readiness assessment for Red Bear OS
**Authority**: This document supersedes all previous relibc planning docs. It is the single source of truth.

## 1. Executive Summary
relibc is the Rust-based POSIX C library used by Red Bear OS. It sits between applications and the Redox microkernel, translating POSIX calls into kernel syscalls and scheme operations. The relibc surface is **partially upstream, materially patch-applied** — 38 active patches provide the compatibility surface needed for the Wayland/KDE desktop path. This assessment identifies the remaining gaps, kernel interactions, graphics subsystem dependencies, and stale documentation.
### Current State at a Glance
| Category | Count | Status |
|----------|-------|--------|
| Active patches in recipe.toml | 38 | ✅ All verified |
| Historical patches (not active) | 8 | ⚠️ Source-track confirmation needed |
| TODO headers in mod.rs | 21 | 🚧 5 resolved (spawn, threads, sys/ipc, sys/sem, sys/shm), 16 remaining |
| Kernel-blocked syscalls | 3 | ❌ clock_settime, mremap, setgroups (getrusage/msync/madvise resolved as no-ops) |
| Graphics-blocking relibc gaps | 0 | ✅ QtNetwork re-enabled in qtbase recipe (2026-04-29) |
| Stale docs | 1 reference | `P3-eventfd.patch``P3-eventfd-mod.patch` |

## 3. Kernel Interaction Surface
### 3.1 Explicitly Stubbed (now resolved)
| Function | Prior Status | Resolution |
|----------|-------------|------------|
| `clock_settime` | ENOSYS | ⚠️ Kernel-blocked: CLOCK_REALTIME requires scheme write to `/scheme/sys/update_time_offset`; other clocks cannot be set in microkernel design |
| `getrusage` | `todo_skip!()` | ✅ Now returns properly zeroed `rusage` struct (POSIX allows unspecified fields to be zero) |
| `mremap` | ENOSYS | ⚠️ Kernel-blocked: no kernel handler |
| `msync` | `todo_skip!()` + ENOSYS | ✅ No-op (Redox has unified address space, no disk-backed page cache) |
| `madvise` | `todo_skip!()` + ENOSYS | ✅ No-op (madvise is advisory; no kernel to advise in microkernel) |
| `setgroups` | `todo_skip!()` + ENOSYS | ⚠️ Kernel-blocked: no credential syscall in kernel |
### 3.2 Microkernel Design Decisions (intentional)
| Feature | Implementation | Rationale |
|---------|---------------|-----------|
| Resource limits (rlimit) | Libc-level, hardcoded defaults | Microkernel: resource limits are policy, not enforcement |
| setuid/setgid | Via `posix_setresugid()` in redox-rt | Works correctly |
| getgroups | Via `/etc/group` lookup | Libc-level, not kernel syscall |
| flock | No-op | Redox has no file locking scheme |
| fdatasync | Falls back to fsync | "Needs syscall update" per TODO comment |
### 3.3 Kernel Scheme Dependencies
relibc depends on these scheme paths (userspace daemon contracts):
| Scheme | Functionality | Status |
|--------|-------------|--------|
| `/scheme/time/` | clock_gettime, timerfd | ✅ |
| `/scheme/rand` | getentropy | ✅ |
| `/scheme/event` | epoll, eventfd | ✅ |
| `/scheme/pipe` | pipe | ✅ |
| `/scheme/tcp` | TCP sockets | ✅ |
| `/scheme/udp` | UDP sockets | ✅ |
| `/scheme/uds_stream` | Unix domain stream | ✅ |
| `/scheme/uds_dgram` | Unix domain dgram | ✅ |
| `/scheme/proc/{pid}/*` | ptrace | ✅ |
| `/scheme/sys/*` | uname, system info | ✅ |
| `/scheme/shm/*` | dynamic linker | ✅ |
| `/scheme/logging/` | platform log | ✅ |
All required schemes are present and functional. No scheme-level gaps affect relibc completeness.
### 3.4 Kernel Blockers for 100% relibc
To achieve 100% POSIX conformance in relibc, the following kernel work is needed:
| Kernel syscall | Priority | Effort | Blocked features |
|---------------|----------|--------|-----------------|
| `SYS_CLOCK_SETTIME` | Low | Medium | `clock_settime(2)` |
| `SYS_SETGROUPS` | Medium | Medium | `setgroups(2)` — blocks credential-sensitive apps |
| `SYS_MREMAP` fix | Low | Small | `mremap(2)` |
| | **Resolved (no kernel work needed):** | | `getrusage` (zeroed struct, valid POSIX), `msync` (no-op, unified address space), `madvise` (advisory no-op) |
| `SYS_GETRLIMIT` / `SYS_SETRLIMIT` | Low | Large | Kernel-enforced resource limits |
**None of these kernel blockers prevent the current desktop path (Wayland/Qt6/KDE) from functioning.** Specifically, none of them are required by the graphics stack, and setgroups is the only one that could affect a significant number of applications.

## 4. Graphics Stack Integration
### 4.1 QtNetwork Blocker — THE CRITICAL PATH
QtNetwork is disabled in `recipes/wip/qt/qtbase/recipe.toml` (line 277). This blocks:
- `kf6-knewstuff``plasma-workspace` → full KDE Plasma desktop
- `kf6-kio` full network transparency
- Any Qt application using `QNetworkAccessManager`
**Root cause**: NOT `in6_pktinfo` (which is now implemented via `P3-in6-pktinfo.patch`). The actual blockers are:
| Blocker | Component | Detail |
|---------|-----------|--------|
| DNS resolver runtime semantics | libredox/relibc | DNS lookup may not handle all failure modes |
| IPv6 multicast coverage | relibc | `IPV6_ADD_MEMBERSHIP`/`IPV6_DROP_MEMBERSHIP` present but untested |
| Broader networking validation | Runtime | No integration test covering QtNetwork on real hardware |
### 4.2 Wayland/KDE relibc Dependency Map

## 6. Documentation Cleanup
### 6.1 Stale References Found and Fixed
| File | Issue | Status |
|------|-------|--------|
| `local/docs/RELIBC-IPC-ASSESSMENT-AND-IMPROVEMENT-PLAN.md` | Line 29: `P3-eventfd.patch``P3-eventfd-mod.patch` | ✅ Fixed |
| `recipes/tests/relibc-tests/recipe.toml` | `P3-eventfd.patch``P3-eventfd-mod.patch` | ✅ Fixed |

### 6.2 Historical Patch Audit
8 patch files exist in `local/patches/relibc/` but are not in the active recipe (see Section 2.2).
SysV IPC patches were activated; `P3-timerfd.patch` is superseded by `P3-timerfd-relative.patch`.
The remaining 8 historical patches should be verified against upstream before deletion.
---
## 7. Action Plan
### Phase A — Immediate (✅ Completed)
| # | Action | Impact |

### Phase B — P0: QtNetwork Unblocking (✅ Recipe re-enabled)
| # | Action | Impact |
|---|--------|--------|
| B1 | ✅ DNS resolver strengthened: use-after-free fixed, FD leak fixed, transaction ID validation added, RCODE/TC handling added, timeout→EAI_AGAIN mapping via `P3-dns-resolver-hardening.patch` | QtNetwork runtime trust |
| B2 | ✅ QtNetwork re-enabled: `-DFEATURE_network=ON`, network/tuiotouch subdirectories restored in qtbase recipe | Unblocks kf6-knewstuff → KDE Plasma |

### Phase D — P2: ifaddrs Upgrade (3-5 days)
| # | Action | Impact |
|---|--------|--------|
| D1 | Implement scheme-based interface enumeration in net_if | Live network discovery |
| D2 | Synchronize if_nameindex with getifaddrs | API consistency |
| D3 | Add integration test | Validation |
### Phase E — Kernel Blockers (when kernel work is prioritized)
| # | Action | Impact |
|---|--------|--------|
| E1 | Add SYS_CLOCK_SETTIME handler | clock_settime(2) works |
| E2 | Add SYS_SETGROUPS handler (or document as deferred) | setgroups(2) works |
| E3 | Fix SYS_MREMAP to not return ENOSYS | mremap(2) works |
| E4 | Consider RLIMIT syscalls (SYS_GETRLIMIT/SYS_SETRLIMIT) | Kernel-enforced resource limits |
### Phase F — Low Priority (can be deferred indefinitely)
| # | Action |
|---|--------|
| F1 | Implement `mqueue.h` (POSIX message queues) |
| F2 | Implement `sys/msg.h` (SysV message queues) |
| F3 | Implement `iconv.h` OR leverage libiconv |
| F4 | Remove deprecated TODO comments in header/mod.rs |
| F5 | Downstream test: relibc-tests recipe update to match active patches |
---
## 8. Evidence Model
All relibc documentation must use these labels:
- **plain-source-visible**: present in upstream `recipes/core/relibc/source/` without recipe patches
- **recipe-applied**: added by active relibc recipe patch chain
- **test-present**: test coverage exists in source tree or active patch chain
- **kernel-blocked**: requires Redox kernel syscall that does not yet exist
- **microkernel-design**: intentional design decision, not a gap
---
## 9. Relationship to Other Subsystem Plans
| Plan | Relationship |
|------|-------------|
| `CONSOLE-TO-KDE-DESKTOP-PLAN.md` | QtNetwork blocker on critical path (Phase 3/4) |
| `DESKTOP-STACK-CURRENT-STATUS.md` | Current build/runtime truth — this plan explains WHY gaps exist |
| `QT6-PORT-STATUS.md` | QtNetwork re-enabled status (2026-04-29) |
| `IRQ-AND-LOWLEVEL-CONTROLLERS-ENHANCEMENT-PLAN.md` | Kernel RLIMIT syscall work belongs here |
| `DRM-MODERNIZATION-EXECUTION-PLAN.md` | No relibc dependency (DRM is scheme-based, not libc) |
| `WAYLAND-IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md` | fd-event APIs needed — already available |
---
## 10. Bottom Line
relibc is **~90% ready** for the desktop path. The fd-event APIs, IPv6 structs, semaphore support, SysV IPC, spawn.h/threads.h, and core POSIX functions needed by Wayland/Qt6/KDE are already in place. QtNetwork has been **re-enabled** in the qtbase recipe following DNS resolver hardening. The remaining gaps are: Qt6 rebuild validation with Network enabled, and kernel work (RLIMIT, setgroups, clock_settime) which can be deferred without blocking the desktop path.

# Red Bear OS relibc Implementation Plan
## Purpose
This document is the canonical engineering plan for closing the remaining POSIX gaps in relibc,
the Rust-based C library used by Red Bear OS (built on Redox).
**Implementation status by phase:**
| Phase | Status | Details |
|-------|--------|---------|
| I1 — `in6_pktinfo` + IPv6 socket options | ✅ **Completed** | `struct in6_pktinfo`, `IPV6_PKTINFO=50`, `IPV6_RECVPKTINFO=49` via `P3-in6-pktinfo.patch` |
| I2 — `getrlimit`/`setrlimit` improvement | ✅ **Completed** | Advisory libc-level implementation: `setrlimit` returns `Ok`, sensible defaults for all `RLIMIT_*` via `P3-getrlimit-getdtablesize.patch` |
| I3 — `timerfd` `TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET` | ✅ **Flag accepted** | Flag in `timerfd_settime` supported mask; actual cancel-on-clock-set detection kernel-blocked. Documented as bounded compatibility surface |
| I4 — `ifaddrs` live discovery | 🚧 **Improved, still synthetic** | 3 entries (loopback, eth0 with addr, wlan0); still hardcoded, full scheme-based enumeration deferred |
| I5 — Plain-source TODO headers | ✅ **Partially completed** | `spawn.h` with `posix_spawn` (fork+exec wrapper), `threads.h` with correct C11 types/constants, both cbindgen headers generated; `mqueue.h`, `iconv.h`, `wordexp.h` deferred |
It replaces and supersedes the R0R6 phase structure in `RELIBC-COMPLETENESS-AND-ENHANCEMENT-PLAN.md`.
The evidence-model labels (`plain-source-visible`, `recipe-applied`, `test-present`) remain valid and
should continue to be used in all documentation.
## Evidence Model (unchanged)
- **plain-source-visible**: present in upstream-owned `recipes/core/relibc/source/` without recipe patches
- **recipe-applied**: added only when the active relibc recipe replays Red Bear patch carriers
- **test-present**: test coverage exists in the source tree or active patch chain
- **kernel-blocked**: functionality requires a Redox kernel syscall that does not yet exist
---
## Gap Inventory
### G1 — `struct in6_pktinfo` (QtNetwork blocker)
| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| **Status** | ✅ Implemented (`P3-in6-pktinfo.patch`) |
| **Root cause** | (resolved) Missing struct + constants added to netinet_in/mod.rs |
| **Blocks** | `QtNetwork` (and any IPv6 advanced socket usage) |
| **Category** | Immediate — **completed** |
`in6_pktinfo` is defined in `<netinet/in.h>` per POSIX and carries the source/destination IPv6 address
plus interface index for `IPV6_PKTINFO` ancillary data on `sendmsg`/`recvmsg`.
Standard layout:
```c
struct in6_pktinfo {
struct in6_addr ipi6_addr; // src/dst IPv6 address
unsigned int ipi6_ifindex; // interface index
};
```
**Also missing from `netinet_in/mod.rs`**: `IPV6_PKTINFO` (socket option constant = 50),
`IPV6_RECVPKTINFO` (49). `IPPROTO_IPV6` (41) already exists in relibc.
---
### G2 — `getrlimit(2)` kernel backing
| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| **Status** | ✅ Improved — `setrlimit` no longer returns `EPERM`, returns `Ok` instead. Additional resource limits now include `RLIMIT_NPROC`, `RLIMIT_NICE`, `RLIMIT_RTPRIO`, `RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE` with sensible defaults |
| **Root cause** | Redox microkernel has no `SYS_GETRLIMIT` / `SYS_SETRLIMIT` syscalls — in a microkernel architecture, resource limits are a libc-level policy concern, not kernel-enforced |
| **Current impl** | Returns sensible defaults for all `RLIMIT_*` constants; `setrlimit()` now returns success (advisory — no kernel enforcement) |
| **Blocks** | Mostly resolved — applications that need real kernel-enforced limits will still not have them, but POSIX compatibility is restored |
The `sys_resource/mod.rs` has the `rlimit` struct and `getrlimit()`/`setrlimit()` wrappers calling
`Sys::getrlimit()`/`Sys::setrlimit()`, which ultimately hit `platform/redox/mod.rs` lines 738755
with a `todo_skip!` on `setrlimit`.
**Required work**: Depends on kernel work (separate from relibc). When kernel gains RLIMIT syscalls,
the `platform/redox/mod.rs` implementation at lines 738755 must be updated to call the real syscall.
**Tracked in**: `local/docs/IRQ-AND-LOWLEVEL-CONTROLLERS-ENHANCEMENT-PLAN.md` as kernel-blocked.
---
### G3 — `timerfd` relative time support
| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| **Status** | `recipe-applied` — relative time conversion implemented via `P3-timerfd-relative.patch` |
| **Current impl** | `P3-timerfd-relative.patch` adds `timerfd_create`/`timerfd_settime`/`timerfd_gettime` via `/scheme/time/{clockid}` with in-userspace relative-to-absolute time conversion |
| **Gap** | `TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET` still not implemented; relative timers (`flags = 0`) are now handled |
| **Blocks** | (resolved for relative timers) `TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET` still pending |
| **Category** | Short-term |
See `recipes/core/relibc/source/src/header/sys_timerfd/mod.rs` and `local/patches/relibc/P3-timerfd-relative.patch`.
---
### G4 — `ifaddrs` live system discovery
| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| **Status** | `recipe-applied` — returns synthetic `loopback` + `eth0` only |
| **Current impl** | `P3-ifaddrs-net_if.patch` patches `net_if/mod.rs` to return hardcoded interfaces |
| **Gap** | No live enumeration of actual network interfaces from the kernel |
| **Blocks** | Real networking apps that need to know actual interface state |
| **Category** | Medium-term |
The `net_if` scheme (`/scheme/net_if/`) exists in Redox base and could provide real interface
enumeration. The `ifaddrs` module (`src/header/ifaddrs/mod.rs`) currently just returns `ENOSYS`.
---
### G5 — Plain-source TODO headers
These are present as `// TODO: <header>` comments in `src/header/mod.rs`. Each requires either
implementation or a documented deferral with a reason.
| Header | Location in mod.rs | Notes |
|--------|--------------------|-------|
| `mqueue.h` | line 55 | POSIX message queues |
| `sys/msg.h` | line 98 | SysV message queues |
| `spawn.h` | line 79 | `posix_spawn()` |
| `threads.h` | line 132 | pthreads |
| `wordexp.h` | line 146 | shell word expansion |
| `iconv.h` | line 41 | character set conversion |
| `sys/ipc.h` | line 96 | IPC shared definitions |
| `sys/sem.h` | line 102 | SysV semaphores |
| `sys/shm.h` | line 103 | SysV shared memory |
Note: `sys/ipc.h`, `sys/sem.h`, and `sys/shm.h` already have `recipe-applied` implementations via
`P3-sysv-ipc.patch`, `P3-sysv-sem-impl.patch`, `P3-sysv-shm-impl.patch`. These should be confirmed
working before considering plain-source replacements.
---
## Implementation Phases
### Phase I1 — Fix `in6_pktinfo` + IPv6 socket options (Immediate — ✅ Completed)
**Goal**: ✅ Completed — `struct in6_pktinfo`, `IPV6_PKTINFO=50`, `IPV6_RECVPKTINFO=49` added. See `P3-in6-pktinfo.patch`.
#### Step I1.1 — Add `struct in6_pktinfo` to `netinet_in/mod.rs`
File: `recipes/core/relibc/source/src/header/netinet_in/mod.rs`
Add after the `ipv6_mreq` struct (around line 55):
```rust
/// See <https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/basedefs/netinet_in.h.html>.
#[repr(C)]
pub struct in6_pktinfo {
pub ipi6_addr: in6_addr,
pub ipi6_ifindex: u32,
}
impl Clone for in6_pktinfo {
fn clone(&self) -> Self {
Self {
ipi6_addr: in6_addr { s6_addr: self.ipi6_addr.s6_addr },
ipi6_ifindex: self.ipi6_ifindex,
}
}
}
impl Default for in6_pktinfo {
fn default() -> Self {
Self {
ipi6_addr: in6_addr { s6_addr: [0; 16] },
ipi6_ifindex: 0,
}
}
}
#[unsafe(no_mangle)]
pub extern "C" fn _cbindgen_export_in6_pktinfo(in6_pktinfo: in6_pktinfo) {}
```
Note: `in6_addr` does not derive `Clone` or `Default`, so manual implementations are required.
`#[derive(Debug, Clone, Default)]` would not compile.
#### Step I1.2 — Add IPv6 socket option constants to `netinet_in/mod.rs`
Add to `netinet_in/mod.rs` in the constants section (around line 108):
```rust
/// See <https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/basedefs/netinet_in.h.html>.
pub const IPV6_UNICAST_HOPS: c_int = 16;
/// See <https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/basedefs/netinet_in.h.html>.
pub const IPV6_MULTICAST_IF: c_int = 17;
/// See <https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/basedefs/netinet_in.h.html>.
pub const IPV6_MULTICAST_HOPS: c_int = 18;
/// See <https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/basedefs/netinet_in.h.html>.
pub const IPV6_MULTICAST_LOOP: c_int = 19;
// ... existing multicast constants 20-21 ...
/// See <https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/basedefs/netinet_in.h.html>.
pub const IPV6_V6ONLY: c_int = 26;
/// Non-POSIX, see <https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/ipv6.7.html>.
pub const IPV6_PKTINFO: c_int = 50;
/// Non-POSIX, see <https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/ipv6.7.html>.
pub const IPV6_RECVPKTINFO: c_int = 49;
```
Also add `IPPROTO_IPV6: c_int = 41;` (already present in current file, confirm).
#### Step I1.3 — Update `netinet_in/cbindgen.toml` export list
File: `recipes/core/relibc/source/src/header/netinet_in/cbindgen.toml`
Add `in6_pktinfo` to the `[export]` include list:
```toml
[export]
include = [
"sockaddr_in6",
"sockaddr_in",
"ipv6_mreq",
"ip_mreq",
"ip_mreq_source",
"group_req",
"group_source_req",
"in6_pktinfo", # NEW
]
```
#### Step I1.4 — Verify cbindgen exports the struct
Rebuild relibc and check that `netinet/in.h` in the staging sysroot contains the `in6_pktinfo`
struct definition. The export is driven by the `_cbindgen_export_in6_pktinfo` function and the
`[export]` include list in `cbindgen.toml` — no manual C macro in the trailer is needed.
#### Step I1.5 — Create patch file
After implementation, generate the patch:
```bash
cd recipes/core/relibc/source
git diff src/header/netinet_in/mod.rs src/header/netinet_in/cbindgen.toml \
> ../../../local/patches/relibc/P3-in6-pktinfo.patch
```
And add to `recipes/core/relibc/recipe.toml` under `patches`:
```toml
patches = [
# ... existing patches ...
"../../../local/patches/relibc/P3-in6-pktinfo.patch",
]
```
#### Step I1.6 — Test
```bash
./target/release/repo cook relibc
# Verify the generated include/netinet/in.h contains in6_pktinfo struct
grep -r "in6_pktinfo" build/x86_64/redbear-full/staging/usr/include/netinet/ 2>/dev/null || \
grep -r "in6_pktinfo" build/*/relibc*/stage/usr/include/netinet/ 2>/dev/null || \
echo "Check build log for cbindgen output"
```
---
### Phase I2 — `getrlimit`/`setrlimit` improvement (Short-term, ✅ Completed)
**Goal**: Replace `setrlimit` returning `EPERM` with a working advisory implementation. Add sensible defaults for more `RLIMIT_*` constants.
**Implementation**: Modified `platform/redox/mod.rs`:
- `getrlimit`: Added defaults for `RLIMIT_NPROC` (4096), `RLIMIT_NICE` (0), `RLIMIT_RTPRIO` (0), `RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE` (819200)
- `setrlimit`: Changed from `todo_skip!` + `EPERM` to returning `Ok(())` — in a microkernel, resource limits are advisory and managed per-process by the C library
**Implementation location**: `recipes/core/relibc/source/src/platform/redox/mod.rs` lines 738755.
---
### Phase I3 — `timerfd` relative time + `TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET` (Short-term)
**Goal**: Complete `TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET` support. Relative timer support (`flags=0`) was already implemented in the same pass via in-userspace relative-to-absolute time conversion.
**Current implementation**: `P3-timerfd-relative.patch` patches `sys_timerfd/mod.rs` to call
`/scheme/time/{clockid}`. Relative timers (`flags=0`) are handled by querying `clock_gettime`, adding the relative delta, and using the absolute scheme path.
**Gap detail**: `timerfd_settime(int fd, int flags, const struct itimerspec *new_value, struct itimerspec *old_value)`:
- `flags = TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME`: `new_value->it_value` is absolute Unix time → works
- `flags = 0` (relative): ✅ Implemented — converts relative to absolute in userspace
- `TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET`: cancel when clock reaches absolute time → NOT implemented
**Implementation approach**:
- For relative timers (`flags = 0`): ✅ DONE — query `clock_gettime`, add relative delta, use absolute scheme path.
- For `TFD_TIMER_CANCEL_ON_SET`: pass a cancellation flag through to the scheme or handle in-userspace by arming a one-shot timer and deleting it on receive.
- Test case needed: spawn a timer with relative 500ms delay, verify it fires after ~500ms.
**Files to modify**: `recipes/core/relibc/source/src/header/sys_timerfd/mod.rs`
**Patch to update**: `local/patches/relibc/P3-timerfd-relative.patch` (rebase after changes)
---
### Phase I4 — `ifaddrs` live system discovery (Medium-term)
**Goal**: Replace synthetic `loopback` + `eth0` with real kernel interface enumeration.
**Current state**: `P3-ifaddrs-net_if.patch` patches `net_if/mod.rs` to return hardcoded interfaces.
**Implementation approach**:
1. Query `/scheme/net_if/list` to enumerate interfaces
2. For each interface, query `/scheme/net_if/{name}/addr` for IPv4/IPv6 addresses
3. Populate `ifaddrs` linked list from real data
**Files to modify**: `recipes/core/relibc/source/src/header/ifaddrs/mod.rs`,
`recipes/core/relibc/source/src/header/net_if/mod.rs`
**Existing patch**: `local/patches/relibc/P3-ifaddrs-net_if.patch` (rebase/extend)
**Test approach**: Run `ip addr show` equivalent or write test that enumerates interfaces and verifies
the list is not just `lo` + `eth0`.
---
### Phase I5 — Plain-source header implementations (Medium to Long-term)
**Priority order** (by downstream dependency):
#### I5.1 — `sys/ipc.h`, `sys/sem.h`, `sys/shm.h` (Medium)
Already have `recipe-applied` implementations via P3 patches. Goal is to promote these to
plain-source or confirm they are stable as-is. Check current patch quality:
- `P3-sysv-ipc.patch`
- `P3-sysv-sem-impl.patch`
- `P3-sysv-shm-impl.patch`
If patches are high-quality and stable, they can become plain-source candidates upstream.
If patches are fragile, improve the implementation.
**Verification**: Run existing IPC tests (`P3-ipc-tests.patch` provides test coverage).
Confirm SysV sem/shm operations work correctly under load.
#### I5.2 — `mqueue.h` POSIX message queues (Medium)
Requires a message queue scheme daemon (`/scheme/mqueue`?) or implementation via existing primitives.
This is non-trivial — consider using a scheme backed by a dedicated daemon or file-backed queue.
**Implementation location**: `recipes/core/relibc/source/src/header/mqueue/` (new module)
**Header file**: `include/mqueue.h` (if cbindgen can't generate variadic macros)
**Key functions**: `mq_open`, `mq_close`, `mq_send`, `mq_receive`, `mq_getattr`, `mq_setattr`, `mq_notify`, `mq_unlink`.
#### I5.3 — `sys/msg.h` SysV message queues (Medium)
Related to but distinct from POSIX mqueues. SysV msg queues use `msgget`, `msgsnd`, `msgrcv`,
`msgctl`. Can reuse some infrastructure from `sysv-ipc` patches if organized properly.
**Implementation location**: `recipes/core/relibc/source/src/header/sys_msg/` (new module, or extend sysv-ipc)
#### I5.4 — `spawn.h` / `posix_spawn` (Long-term)
Complex — involves `fork` + `exec` + file descriptor handling in one call. relibc already has `fork`
and `exec` via `redox-rt`. `posix_spawn` would be a thin wrapper.
**Key challenge**: `posix_spawn` actions (file actions, signal handling, scheduling) require
support infrastructure that may not be fully present in redox-rt.
#### I5.5 — `threads.h` (Long-term)
pthreads are already partially implemented (`pthread` module exists). `threads.h` is the C11
threads API (`thrd_create`, `mtx_init`, `cnd_init`, etc.) layered on top of pthread.
**Current state**: `pthread` module is fairly complete. `threads.h` header is mostly a compatibility
layer. Verify what C11 thread functions are missing vs what pthread already provides.
#### I5.6 — `wordexp.h` (Long-term)
Shell word expansion — parse shell-like `{var}`, `$(cmd)`, globs, quotes. Not urgently needed by
current desktop consumers.
#### I5.7 — `iconv.h` (Long-term)
Character set conversion. A full implementation is substantial. Could leverage an existing iconv
library (e.g., `libiconv`) or implement a subset.

## Verification Strategy
For each implemented gap, the following verification is required:
| Gap | Verification |
|-----|-------------|
| `in6_pktinfo` | C program using `struct in6_pktinfo` compiles and runs; `IPV6_PKTINFO` socket option accepted |
| `getrlimit` | `getrlimit(RLIMIT_NOFILE, &lim)` returns real kernel-backed values (not static defaults) |
| `timerfd` relative | Timer fires at relative interval (not just absolute time) |
| `ifaddrs` | Interface list reflects actual kernel state (not synthetic `lo` + `eth0`) |
| SysV IPC | IPC tests pass under load |
| `mqueue` | Producer/consumer test with `mq_open`/`mq_send`/`mq_receive` |
| `spawn` | `posix_spawn` successfully forks+execs a child process |
---
## Patch Governance
All relibc changes follow the durability policy from `AGENTS.md`:
1. Implement and test in `recipes/core/relibc/source/`
2. Create patch in `local/patches/relibc/P<N>-<description>.patch`
3. Add to `recipes/core/relibc/recipe.toml` under `patches`
4. Do NOT leave changes only inside the fetched source tree

- `timerfd` relative support is part of POSIX.1e timer completeness (related to mqueue)
- `ifaddrs` live discovery enables proper network configuration tooling
---
## Non-goals (Explicitly Deferred)
- Kernel credential syscalls (`setuid`, `getuid`, `setgroups`, `getgroups`) — kernel work required,
tracked separately
- Full POSIX.1e ACL interfaces — deferred until filesystem maturity warrants it
- `libpthread` threading backend redesign — current pthread implementation is sufficient for current consumers

# Red Bear OS WiFi Validation Runbook
This runbook is the canonical operator path for exercising the current bounded Intel WiFi stack on
either a real Red Bear OS target or a VFIO-backed Red Bear guest.
It does **not** claim that WiFi is fully solved. Its job is to make the remaining hardware/runtime
validation step reproducible and evidence-oriented.
## Goal
Produce one or both of the following from a real target execution:
- a successful bounded WiFi lifecycle run (`redbear-phase5-wifi-check`)
- a structured evidence bundle (`redbear-phase5-wifi-capture`) for debugging real failures
## Path A — Bare Metal Runtime Validation
Use this when Red Bear OS is booted on a real machine with a supported Intel WiFi device.
### In target runtime
For an interactive operator path before or alongside the packaged checkers, the new console client is:
```bash
redbear-netctl-console
```
It is a Redox-native **ncurses** terminal client, and it uses the same bounded `/scheme/wifictl`
and `/etc/netctl` surfaces as the scripted/operator flows.
```bash
redbear-phase5-wifi-run wifi-open-bounded wlan0 /tmp/redbear-phase5-wifi-capture.json
test-wifi-baremetal-runtime.sh
```
### Artifacts to preserve
- `/tmp/redbear-phase5-wifi-capture.json`
- terminal output from `redbear-phase5-wifi-check`
- terminal output from `test-wifi-baremetal-runtime.sh`
- any serial console log captured during the run
Recommended host-side naming after copying artifacts off the target:
- `wifi-baremetal-capture.json`
- `wifi-baremetal-serial.log`
- `wifi-baremetal-console.log`
Recommended staging pattern on the host:
```bash
run_dir=./wifi-baremetal-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)
mkdir -p "$run_dir"
# copy the capture/log files into that directory
./local/scripts/package-wifi-validation-artifacts.sh \
"${run_dir}.tar.gz" \
"$run_dir"
```
Optional packaging step on the host:
```bash
./local/scripts/package-wifi-validation-artifacts.sh
```
The resulting tarball now includes a small manifest file with the packaged paths and file checksums
for regular files when `sha256sum` is available on the host.
Optional summary step on the host:
```bash
./local/scripts/summarize-wifi-validation-artifacts.sh ./wifi-baremetal-capture.json
# or
./local/scripts/summarize-wifi-validation-artifacts.sh ./wifi-validation-artifacts.tar.gz
# or use the packaged analyzer directly on the captured JSON
redbear-phase5-wifi-analyze ./wifi-baremetal-capture.json
```
Optional one-shot post-run step on the host:
```bash
./local/scripts/finalize-wifi-validation-run.sh \
./wifi-baremetal-capture.json \
./wifi-validation-artifacts.tar.gz \
./wifi-baremetal-serial.log \
./wifi-baremetal-console.log
```
## Path B — VFIO/QEMU Validation
Use this when a host can safely detach an Intel WiFi PCI function and pass it through to a Red Bear
guest.
### On the host
First, validate the host prerequisites:
```bash
sudo ./local/scripts/validate-wifi-vfio-host.sh \
--host-pci 0000:xx:yy.z \
--expect-driver iwlwifi
```
This preflight now exits non-zero when blockers are found, so it is safe to use as an automation
gate before attempting VFIO passthrough validation.
Then run the full passthrough validation wrapper:
```bash
sudo ./local/scripts/run-wifi-passthrough-validation.sh \
--host-pci 0000:xx:yy.z \
--host-driver iwlwifi \
--artifact-dir ./wifi-validation-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)
```
Default output artifacts from that wrapper:
- `./wifi-passthrough-capture.json`
- `./wifi-passthrough-capture.json.meta.json`
If `--artifact-dir` is provided, those files are written into that directory instead.
Recommended packaging step afterwards:
```bash
./local/scripts/package-wifi-validation-artifacts.sh \
./wifi-passthrough-artifacts.tar.gz \
./wifi-validation-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS
```
That tarball also includes the manifest/checksum file described above.
Optional summary step afterwards:
```bash
./local/scripts/summarize-wifi-validation-artifacts.sh ./wifi-passthrough-artifacts.tar.gz
# or
redbear-phase5-wifi-analyze ./wifi-passthrough-capture.json
```
Optional one-shot post-run step afterwards:
```bash
./local/scripts/finalize-wifi-validation-run.sh \
./wifi-passthrough-capture.json \
./wifi-passthrough-artifacts.tar.gz \
./wifi-passthrough-capture.json.meta.json
```
For structured follow-up after a failed run, use:
- `local/docs/WIFI-VALIDATION-ISSUE-TEMPLATE.md`
You can override those paths explicitly if needed:
```bash
sudo ./local/scripts/run-wifi-passthrough-validation.sh \
--host-pci 0000:xx:yy.z \
--host-driver iwlwifi \
--capture-output ./wifi-passthrough-capture.json \
--metadata-output ./wifi-passthrough-capture.meta.json
```
The wrapper handles:
1. binding the selected device to `vfio-pci`
2. launching the Red Bear guest passthrough harness
3. running `redbear-phase5-network-check` and `redbear-phase5-wifi-run` inside the guest
4. collecting the packaged WiFi capture bundle back to the host
5. writing a host-side metadata sidecar for the run
6. restoring the host driver afterwards
`redbear-phase5-network-check` in that flow is the bounded `redbear-full` desktop/network plumbing
proof. It should not be read as closing the WiFi implementation plan's later Phase W5
runtime-reporting-and-recovery milestone by itself.
### Artifact to preserve
- `./wifi-passthrough-capture.json`
- `./wifi-passthrough-capture.meta.json`
- full terminal log from the wrapper invocation
Optional packaging step on the host:
```bash
./local/scripts/package-wifi-validation-artifacts.sh
```
## Minimum Evidence for a Real Runtime Attempt
At minimum, keep all of the following together:
- the capture JSON bundle
- the console output of the checker/wrapper
- the exact PCI BDF used for the Intel WiFi device
- whether the run was bare metal or VFIO/QEMU
## What Success Means Today
Current success is still **bounded** success:
- the Intel driver/runtime lifecycle can be exercised on a real target
- the WiFi control/profile/reporting stack can observe that lifecycle, including honest bounded
pending/associating connect state when real association is not yet proven
- the default bounded validation profile is `wifi-open-bounded`, which intentionally avoids turning
DHCP handoff into a false requirement for lifecycle-only validation
- the packaged runtime checker currently proves that bounded open-profile path by default; WPA2-PSK
is implemented and covered by host/unit-level regressions, but is not yet the default packaged
runtime validation path
- a structured evidence bundle is captured for debugging
This is **not yet** the same as:
- real AP scan/association proof
- real packet/data-path proof
- DHCP success over a true wireless link
- validated end-to-end WiFi connectivity
Those remain the next debugging targets after the first real target execution.

# `wifictl:` Scheme Reference
This document describes the current bounded `/scheme/wifictl` surface exposed by
`redbear-wifictl`.
It is a reference for validation and debugging of the current Intel WiFi slice. It does **not**
imply that WiFi connectivity is fully supported.
## Root Layout
Top-level entries:
- `wifictl:/ifaces`
- `wifictl:/capabilities`
## Per-interface entries
For each interface under `wifictl:/ifaces/<iface>/`, the scheme currently exposes:
### Read-only status/state nodes
- `status`
- `link-state`
- `firmware-status`
- `transport-status`
- `transport-init-status`
- `activation-status`
- `connect-result`
- `disconnect-result`
- `scan-results`
- `last-error`
### Read/write profile/config nodes
- `ssid`
- `security`
- `key`
### Write-triggered control nodes
- `scan`
- `prepare`
- `transport-probe`
- `init-transport`
- `activate-nic`
- `connect`
- `disconnect`
- `retry`
## Current bounded lifecycle
The bounded Intel path currently treats the WiFi lifecycle as:
1. `prepare`
2. `transport-probe`
3. `init-transport`
4. `activate-nic`
5. `connect`
6. `disconnect`
7. `retry`
The scheme records the last reported bounded connect/disconnect metadata in `connect-result` and
`disconnect-result`.
## Interpretation guidance
- Presence of the scheme means the control surface exists, not that a real WiFi link is proven.
- `connect-result` and `disconnect-result` are lifecycle evidence surfaces, not proof of real AP
authentication or real packet flow.
- `scan-results` may reflect bounded or synthetic runtime outcomes unless and until hardware-backed
scan evidence is captured on a real target.

# Red Bear OS WIP Migration Ledger
## Purpose
This ledger records how Red Bear treats upstream WIP areas under the overlay policy.
The goal is to keep one compact, current view of whether a major WIP subsystem is:
- still consumed mainly from upstream WIP,
- mirrored locally and shipped from the Red Bear overlay,
- or mature enough upstream that Red Bear should prefer the upstream version.
This is a repo-governance document, not a subsystem deep dive.
## Status Labels
- **upstream-wip-input** — upstream WIP still exists and is useful as an input/reference, but Red Bear
does not treat it as the durable shipping source of truth
- **local-overlay-owner** — Red Bear currently owns the shipping/integration burden locally
- **mixed-transition** — both upstream WIP and local overlay matter; Red Bear is still evaluating what
to keep locally versus what to prefer upstream
- **prefer-upstream** — upstream is now first-class enough that Red Bear should default to upstream and
keep only a narrow local integration delta if still needed
## Current Ledger
| Area | Current status | Current preferred shipping source | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Qt6 base stack (`qtbase`, `qtdeclarative`, `qtsvg`, `qtwayland`) | **mixed-transition** | local overlay + upstream WIP inputs | Upstream WIP remains useful input, but Red Bear still carries recipe/integration fixes and validation locally. |
| KDE Frameworks / Plasma / KWin | **local-overlay-owner** | local overlay | Current KDE/Plasma recipe tree under `local/recipes/kde/` is the practical shipping source for Red Bear. |
| Wayland compositor/session stack | **mixed-transition** | local overlay for shipping decisions | Upstream WIP recipes remain inputs, but runtime-trusted Red Bear delivery still depends on local validation and local recipe ownership where needed. |
| `libinput` / desktop input userland | **mixed-transition** | local decision pending | Upstream WIP recipe exists, but Red Bear still treats this as a local validation and integration concern rather than a trusted upstream shipping surface. |
| `seatd` runtime path | **mixed-transition** | recipe-level decision still local | It builds and is integrated into KDE-facing configs, but runtime trust still trails the packaging story. |
| `redox-driver-sys` | **local-overlay-owner** | local overlay | Red Bear-owned driver substrate. |
| `linux-kpi` | **local-overlay-owner** | local overlay | Red Bear-owned compatibility layer. |
| `redbear-iwlwifi` | **local-overlay-owner** | local overlay | Bounded Intel Wi-Fi driver-side package below the native Red Bear Wi-Fi control plane; current scope is probe, status, firmware prepare, transport probe/init, NIC activation, bounded scan/connect/disconnect lifecycle, and retry. |
| `redox-drm` / `amdgpu` | **local-overlay-owner** | local overlay | Red Bear-owned graphics/driver work. |
| `firmware-loader` | **local-overlay-owner** | local overlay | Red Bear-owned runtime infrastructure. |
| relibc compatibility overlays | **mixed-transition** | upstream + local overlay | Prefer upstream where available; keep only the overlays that still prove necessary after fresh-source reapply and downstream rebuild. |
## Decision Rules
### When to stay local
Stay local when one or more of the following is true:
- upstream still marks the recipe/subsystem WIP,
- Red Bear still needs local fixes to build or ship it,
- Red Bear is carrying the validation burden that upstream has not yet established,
- the local version is the only version that currently integrates correctly with tracked Red Bear profiles.
### When to move back toward upstream
Prefer upstream when all of the following become true:
- upstream no longer treats the area as WIP,
- upstream solves the same problem adequately,
- refreshed upstream source + minimal Red Bear integration still rebuilds the affected profiles,
- keeping the local overlay would no longer provide unique value.
## Review Trigger
Reevaluate an entry in this ledger whenever:
- upstream removes WIP status from the recipe/subsystem,
- Red Bear finishes a fresh-source reapply + rebuild proof,
- a local overlay shrinks substantially because upstream caught up,
- or the shipping profile set starts depending on a WIP area more heavily than before.
