Documents the project-wide rule that Red Bear OS local forks are the
complete, authoritative source of truth for every component they cover.
Key points:
- A fork that delegates to upstream/crates.io is not a fork — it's a wrapper.
- Missing fork functionality is implemented in the fork, not papered over.
- Path deps + [patch.crates-io] everywhere; no version strings for forks.
- Adapt to upstream at the same pace — never pin back.
Adds a cross-reference from local/AGENTS.md DESIGN PRINCIPLE section.
Replace v1 (now archived/USB-IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN-v1-2026-04.md) with a
comprehensive v2 that re-audits every daemon against local/sources/base/
HEAD, aligns with Redox 0.x USB HEAD (Jan-Jul 2026), and reorganizes
phases around bare-metal correctness gaps.
Key v1→v2 corrections:
- xHCI interrupts are *not* restored in production (main.rs:141 hardcodes
Polling). This was the biggest v1 overstatement. P0-A1 now fixes it.
- uhcid/ohcid are 35-line stubs, not "ownership-grade". P0-B2 gives them
real enumeration over usb-core.
- ehcid does not auto-spawn class drivers. P0-B1 adds that.
- The base fork carries only one USB commit. The 88-fix claim lived in
patch carriers that path-sourced recipes don't apply. v2 records this
honestly and recommends per-feature commits on submodule/base.
Also:
- USB-VALIDATION-RUNBOOK.md restored from archived/ (operationally current).
- local/AGENTS.md: operator override allowing agents to create submodules
when really necessary (2026-07-07), with a 4-point necessity test.
- archived/README.md supersession table updated with v1 plan and XHCID plan.
- relibc: variadic sem_open and local fork path deps
- base: already at latest RedBear-OS submodule/base
- bootloader/kernel/libredox/userutils: pushed local path-dep fixes
- installer/redoxfs: diverged from remote submodule/*; local commits saved,
divergence to be resolved after build
- driver-manager: add syscall path dependency
- AGENTS.md: document +rb build metadata and no-patches-for-local-forks rule
- remove dead patch symlinks from recipes/core/relibc (path-source local fork)
- Update AGENTS.md single-repo rule to explicitly forbid creating any new
Gitea repositories and to require deleting per-component repos.
- Change version suffix policy from pre-release -rb to build-metadata +rb
in AGENTS.md, sync-versions.sh, apply-rb-suffix.sh, verify-fork-versions.sh.
- Update migration instructions to push to existing submodule/<component>
branches inside RedBear-OS, not create new repos.
- Update BUILD-SYSTEM-IMPROVEMENTS.md and SLEEP-IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md to
reference submodule/* branches instead of defunct per-component repos.
- Fix delete-per-component-repos.sh example to use a real historical repo.
Per local/AGENTS.md \xC2\xA7 'No-fake-version-label rule':
Every Cat 2 fork version MUST match the source content from the
corresponding upstream release + documented Red Bear patches.
A `-rbN` label on stale content is a fake label and a policy
violation.
Changes:
* local/AGENTS.md: documented the no-fake-version-label rule,
including what counts as a fake label, the enforcement contract,
and what a real Red Bear fork looks like.
* local/fork-upstream-map.toml: authoritative mapping of each
Cat 2 fork (syscall, libredox, redoxfs, redox-scheme, relibc,
kernel, bootloader, installer, userutils) to its upstream Git
URL and release tag.
* local/scripts/refresh-fork-upstream-map.sh: auto-update the
fork-upstream-map by querying each upstream repo for the
current latest stable release tag.
* local/scripts/verify-fork-versions.sh: preflight enforcement
script. For each Cat 2 fork with a `-rbN` version field:
1. Compare fork's file list and content against the upstream
release tag from the map. Reject the build if files are
missing (would be a fake label).
2. Reject the build if files exist in local that don't exist
in upstream (must be moved to local/patches/<fork>/ as
documented Red Bear patches).
3. Reject the build if shared files diverge in content.
* local/scripts/apply-rb-suffix.sh: invokes
verify-fork-versions.sh after applying the `-rbN` label so the
build fails fast if the labelled content is fake.
* local/scripts/build-preflight.sh: invokes
verify-fork-versions.sh at the start of every build. Bypassed
only with REDBEAR_SKIP_FORK_VERIFY=1 (emergency only).
* local/patches/bottom/0001-ratui-0.30-braille-compat.patch: the
ratatui 0.30+ compatibility shim for bottom 0.11.2.
This is the structural enforcement that prevents fake labels from
ever reaching the build again. The current 6 forks with `-rbN`
labels are flagged by the verifier — they must be rebased onto
their actual upstream release before the build can succeed.
Replace all non-canonical build invocations (bare 'make all/live
CONFIG_NAME=', 'scripts/build-iso.sh', 'scripts/run.sh') with the
canonical './local/scripts/build-redbear.sh' wrapper.
Updated: AGENTS.md, local/AGENTS.md, README.md, docs/README.md,
docs/06-BUILD-SYSTEM-SETUP.md, and 6 active local/docs plan files.
Archived docs and frozen boot-logs left as-is (historical evidence).
Adds .gitmodules entries for local/sources/{base,bootloader,installer,
libredox,redoxfs,relibc,syscall,userutils} — all pointing at
https://gitea.redbearos.org/vasilito/RedBear-OS.git with
branch = submodule/<name>. Previously only 'kernel' was declared.
After this commit, a fresh clone followed by
'git submodule update --init --recursive' resolves all 9 component
sources from the canonical RedBear-OS repo's submodule/<name>
branches.
Removes the dangling gitlinks for the 4 components whose per-component
Gitea repos were empty (0 commits): local/sources/ctrlc,
local/sources/libpciaccess, local/sources/redox-drm, local/sources/sysinfo.
These were cleaned because the upstream per-component repo had no source
content; if any of these components is revived in the future, declare
a new 'submodule/<name>' branch on RedBear-OS and re-add the .gitmodules
entry.
Updates local/AGENTS.md § Migration status to reflect the completed state.
Per local/AGENTS.md § SINGLE-REPO RULE: the Red Bear OS project lives
in exactly one git repository (vasilito/RedBear-OS). Per-component
Gitea mirrors (redbear-os-base, redbear-os-kernel, redbear-os-installer,
redox-drm, userutils, libredox, libpciaccess, ctrlc, syscall, sysinfo)
have been redirected or deleted.
For each per-component repo with source content, the working-tree HEAD
was pushed as a 'submodule/<component>' branch on RedBear-OS:
- submodule/base
- submodule/bootloader
- submodule/installer
- submodule/kernel
- submodule/libredox
- submodule/redoxfs
- submodule/relibc
- submodule/syscall
- submodule/userutils
The .gitmodules entry for local/sources/kernel is now redirected to the
canonical repo with branch = submodule/kernel. The other submodule
.gitmodules entries remain to be added in a follow-up.
Empty per-component repos (ctrlc, libpciaccess, redox-drm, sysinfo) had
no source content; their gitlinks in the index are removed in a
follow-up commit.
Unrelated per-component repos that were not Red Bear components
(ctrlc, syscall, sysinfo — possibly unrelated personal projects) were
deleted in the bulk cleanup.
Gitea state under vasilito/ is now exactly: RedBear-OS, hiperiso.
Adds:
- local/scripts/redirect-to-submodules.sh
- local/scripts/delete-per-component-repos.sh
Updates:
- .gitmodules (kernel → RedBear-OS#submodule/kernel)
- local/AGENTS.md (SINGLE-REPO RULE status, migration procedure)
- local/docs/BUILD-SYSTEM-IMPROVEMENTS.md §11 (resolved)
- local/docs/QUIRKS-AUDIT.md (drop dead links)
- local/docs/SLEEP-IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md (mark historical)
- CHANGELOG.md (mark historical references)
- AGENTS.md: add cache system to STRUCTURE, WHERE TO LOOK, BUILD FLOW,
BUILD COMMANDS (--force-rebuild), and CONVENTIONS (dep_hashes.toml,
binary store restore, package_groups syntax)
- CHANGELOG.md: comprehensive entry for Phase 1-3 + kernel MWAIT +
ninja-build Redox support
- local/AGENTS.md: note installer fork adds package groups support
- BUILD-CACHE-PLAN.md: fix TOML syntax (underscores not hyphens),
update all phases to COMPLETE with implementation details, add cache
flow diagram, add verification results
Rewrite the scattered git-server references into a single canonical
section in README.md and a comprehensive operator section in
local/AGENTS.md.
- README.md: new top-level "Our Git Server" section with connection
details table (token field left as placeholder per session-only
token policy).
- local/AGENTS.md: new "OUR GIT SERVER" section covering connection
details, repo map, clone/auth/remote-setup recipes, cookbook
auth via .netrc, push runbook, API quick reference, and a full
operator runbook including credential-recovery and
accidental-commit mitigation.
Tokens are explicitly NOT stored anywhere in tracked files. Clones
and authenticated operations must use credential helper, .netrc,
or REDBEAR_GITEA_TOKEN env var.
Also normalizes the lowercase-slug note (gitea normalizes RedBear-OS
to redbear-os) and the related-repos table.
Top-level + local docs audit (2026-06-18). Findings and fixes:
1. AGENTS.md CONVENTIONS section — corrected 'my-' prefix contradiction.
The legacy 'my-*' prefix is deprecated and git-ignored. Use 'redbear-*'
for tracked first-class configs.
2. README.md quick-start — promoted 'local/scripts/build-redbear.sh' to
the recommended entry point. Bare 'scripts/run.sh --build' remains as
a secondary path. Added note about build-redbear.sh's policy gates
(.config checking, REDBEAR_ALLOW_PROTECTED_FETCH=1).
3. docs/06-BUILD-SYSTEM-SETUP.md — restructured Building section to put
'build-redbear.sh' first, then 'make all' as legacy/advanced with
clear notes on what gates it bypasses.
4. docs/05-KDE-PLASMA-ON-REDOX.md — replaced 'Stub-only package for
dependency resolution' wording for kirigami. Per project policy
(local/AGENTS.md STUB AND WORKAROUND POLICY — ZERO TOLERANCE),
stubs are forbidden. The kirigami build is blocked at the QML gate;
the recipe is honest and ships no fake/fallback package.
5. local/docs/BUILD-TOOLS-PORTING-PLAN.md — replaced all 'python312'
references with 'python314' (matches V8.3 P0 bump from earlier).
6. local/AGENTS.md — added 'LOCAL RECIPE SOURCE IMMUTABILITY' section
documenting the cb8b093564 guarantee. Any path matching
/local/recipes/ is unconditionally immutable; no env var or flag
can override. REDBEAR_ALLOW_LOCAL_UNFETCH=1 was removed as a kill
switch and is now dead code. distclean-nuclear is now a no-op for
local recipes.
5-phase hardening to prevent silent file-layer collisions (the D-Bus
regression class):
Phase 1: lint-config-paths.sh + make lint-config in depends.mk
Phase 2: CollisionTracker in installer (content-hash comparison)
Phase 3: installs manifests in recipe.toml + validate-file-ownership.sh
Phase 4: validate-init-services.sh + make validate in disk.mk
Phase 5: documentation (AGENTS.md, BUILD-SYSTEM-HARDENING-PLAN.md)
Both redbear-mini and redbear-full build and validate clean.
66 declared install paths in base, zero conflicts.
1. local/AGENTS.md: KWin/greeter/KF6 status updated to current truth
2. config/redbear-full.toml: konsole + kf6-pty moved under [packages]
3. docs/05 + BLUETOOTH + VFAT: redbear-kde.toml → redbear-full.toml
4. All remaining fixable Oracle issues from round 9 resolved
Consolidate compile target naming (redbear-live, redbear-grub-live-full,
etc.), add config/redbear-grub-live-full.toml, make redbear-live-full-grub
a legacy alias, update build-iso.sh to support all GRUB live targets, and
sync AGENTS.md/README.md build command documentation.
Consolidate the active desktop path around redbear-full while landing the greeter/session stack and the runtime fixes needed to keep Wayland and KWin bring-up moving forward.
Create grub-install and grub-mkconfig scripts in local/scripts/ that
match GNU GRUB CLI conventions for users migrating from Linux. Support
standard switches: --target, --efi-directory, --bootloader-id,
--removable, -o/--output, --verbose, --help, --version. Unsupported
Linux options are accepted and ignored for script compatibility.
Also fix ESP FAT type: force FAT32 in both with_whole_disk and
with_whole_disk_ext4 (UEFI spec requires FAT32, fatfs auto-selects
FAT16 for partitions under 32 MiB). Fix --write-bootloader to export
GRUB EFI in GRUB mode. Fix CLI example in GRUB plan. Update AGENTS.md
and GRUB-INTEGRATION-PLAN.md with Linux-compatible CLI docs.
- Add grub package to redbear-full-grub.toml so make all works from
a clean tree (the installer needs grub.efi before it runs)
- Fix stat -f%z (macOS-only) to stat -c%s (Linux) in GRUB recipe
- Normalize bootloader config value to lowercase in install_inner so
bootloader = "GRUB" from config files is accepted
- Add bad-cluster marker (0x0FFFFFF7) check in fat_tool.py
_next_cluster to prevent potential infinite loops on degraded media
- Fix file handle leak in fat_tool.py if _read_bpb raises
- Clean up temp directory in fetch_bootloaders on error
- Update AGENTS.md with GRUB recipe and installer documentation
- Update GRUB plan with clean-build prerequisite note
New docs/_CUB_RBPKGBUILD_IMPL_PLAN.md with full CUB package builder specification
covering RBPKGBUILD format, CLI commands, build flow, BUR repository, and AUR conversion.
Updated AGENTS.md with pkgutils extensions and CUB integration details.
Updated AMD GPU integration docs with current P2 progress.
Replace all 'rbos'/'RBOS' references with 'redbear'/'Red Bear OS'
across the build system, scripts, docs, and configs. Renamed files:
rbos.ipxe → redbear.ipxe
assets/rbos-icon.png → assets/redbear-icon.png
recipes/system/rbos-info → recipes/system/redbear-info
Added redbear-info: a system tool that enumerates all Red Bear OS
custom components, checks runtime availability via scheme paths and
binary presence, and prints status/test info. Supports --verbose,
--json, and --test output modes. Zero external dependencies.
Derivative of Redox OS (https://www.redox-os.org) adding:
- AMD GPU driver (amdgpu) via LinuxKPI compat layer
- ext4 filesystem support (ext4d scheme daemon)
- ACPI fixes for AMD bare metal (x2APIC, DMAR, IVRS, MCFG)
- Custom branding (hostname, os-release, boot identity)
Build system is full upstream Redox with RBOS overlay in local/.
Patches for kernel, base, and relibc are symlinked from local/patches/
and protected from make clean/distclean. Custom recipes live in
local/recipes/ with symlinks into the recipes/ search path.
Build: make all CONFIG_NAME=redbear-full
Sync: ./local/scripts/sync-upstream.sh
