Captures what was done this session (doc cleanup) and what carry-over issues remain (kernel fork at detached HEAD 2086faec with fix 22f5f622 in master; boot still fails at unit loading).
For handoff to next agent or operator.
D6 verification flagged 3 stale remnants missed by the Round-12 cleanup pass. Per ground-truth:
- Line 155: relibc "active patches" is stale. Core recipes use PATCHED-VIA-PATH-FORK; 26 patch files in local/patches/relibc/ are reference/archived only.
- Lines 1832, 1902: qtbase 6.11.0 bumped to 6.11.1 to match README and actual fork state.

Round-7 audit found stale entries for files deleted by c04da4f031 and ecf1f19d55, plus missing entries for files still present in the archive. Rewrote the inventory to match the filesystem and added the 2026-07-13 sync note.
Per ground-truth: BOOT-PROCESS-ASSESSMENT.md, IOMMU-SPEC-REFERENCE.md, and LINUX-BORROWING-RUST-IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md are gone. Replaced with "(deleted)" markers. Lines 73-74 (duplicate BOOT-PROCESS-ASSESSMENT.md refs) collapsed to a single marker.
Per ground-truth: AMD-FIRST-INTEGRATION.md, HARDWARE-3D-ASSESSMENT.md, DMA-BUF-IMPROVEMENT-PLAN.md were deleted during the P0 archive cleanup. Replaced each occurrence with "(deleted)" markers.
Lines 298-311 had 8 fork HEAD SHAs from 2026-07-07 (+rb0.3.0 era) that have since advanced. Per ground-truth section A:\n base 4d09ab7f\n bootloader c78c3a6\n installer 1e9dcde\n kernel 22f5f622\n libredox b99b204\n redoxfs b78a791\n relibc 11a1f8bc\n syscall 6e4e5bd (+rb0.3.1)\n userutils 0dc0cb7\n\nAll forks now use +rb0.3.1 suffix. Line 311 "intentionally kept at +rb0.3.0" updated to "kept at +rb0.3.1".
Recipe example now notes that core components use path-fork recipes, while the CONFIG_NAME table entry is aligned to the actual default behavior exposed by mk/config.mk and build-redbear.sh.
Qt version: 6.11.0→6.11.1 globally (lines 56-57, 66-69, 105) per ground-truth — matches README.md and fork state.\n\nkirigami: was reported as "Build blocked at the QML gate" but local/patches/kirigami/ has patches indicating it builds. Updated to "Builds; runtime QML validation incomplete".\n\nkf6-kio: same — local/patches/kf6-kio/01-no-testlib.patch shows builds are now succeeding with tests disabled. Updated to "Builds; runtime QML validation incomplete".
Ground-truth staleness fix for AGENTS.md, aligned to section A of /tmp/rb-ground-truth.txt (core forks use PATCHED-VIA-PATH-FORK; e.g. base 4d09ab7f, kernel 22f5f622).
Per ground-truth: 9 forks exist (the 7 listed + syscall + libredox). Added syscall and libredox to the fork list with a note about how they're wired (Cargo path deps via redox-rt consumers, not via recipes/<comp>/recipe.toml path = ).
POSIX gaps row: "~38 active patches" is stale — relibc now uses PATCHED-VIA-PATH-FORK; the local/patches/relibc/ directory holds reference and archived patches, not active build-time patches.
KDE Plasma / KWin row was conflating two distinct statuses. KWin BUILDS successfully (the redox-drm + Qt6 Wayland patches exist); only the RUNTIME is blocked by the Qt6 Wayland crash. Split into two rows so readers know exactly what works vs what's blocked.

The verify-overlay-integrity.sh script has two blind spots for stale
symlink detection:
1. find recipes -maxdepth 3 misses paths at depth 4+
2. only checks targets under /local/recipes/, misses /local/patches/
This adds a parallel scan that finds all dangling symlinks under recipes/
without maxdepth, classifies them by target path, and reports each with a
suggested action. Pure diagnostic — does not modify any files.
Enables preventive detection of the recipes/wip/x11/mesa-x11/source
orphan and recipes/core/base/redox.patch pointer-rot that triggered the
build integrity warnings on this session's rebuilds.

bss_dgram.c uses 'struct in6_pktinfo' from <netinet/in.h> which is
not fully defined in relibc headers (sizeof on incomplete type).
Added no-dgram to disable datagram BIO (DTLS/QUIC) for now.
Red Bear OS doesn't need DTLS yet — standard TLS via stream sockets
is sufficient.
OpenSSL's Configure detects x86_64-unknown-redox-gcc as the compiler
but Make can't find it because the cross-compiler prefix/bin is not
in PATH. Added COOKBOOK_HOST_SYSROOT/bin to PATH before Configure call.
Also added no-sctp flag since relibc lacks <netinet/sctp.h>.
Archived mega-patches (kernel/redox.patch, base/redox.patch, relibc/redox.patch,
installer/redox.patch, bootloader/redox.patch, P2-boot-runtime-fixes) were
consolidated into modular P0-...P9- patches during Phase 2/3 cleanup but the
integrity checker still expected them. Removed from EXPECTED_PATCH_SYMLINKS
and CRITICAL_PATCHES arrays. Fixed qt6-wayland-smoke symlink.
Overlay integrity check now PASSES (0 errors).
--with-pic alone doesn't generate PIC code in newer ncurses (6.6+).
The static archive produced non-PIC objects using R_X86_64_PC32
relocations, which can't be linked into PIE executables.
Forced PIC via:
- Switched DYNAMIC_INIT → DYNAMIC_STATIC_INIT (builds both shared AND static)
- Added CFLAGS+=+=-fPIC CXXFLAGS+=+=-fPIC export (forces PIC at compile)
redbear-netctl-console now links successfully against libncursesw.a.
The repo_builder binary had a guard at line 79-81:
if std::env::var("COOKBOOK_CROSS_TARGET").is_ok_and(|x| !x.is_empty()) {
return Ok(());
}
This silently returned early when COOKBOOK_CROSS_TARGET was set —
which is ALWAYS the case during a Red Bear build (we cross-compile
for x86_64-unknown-redox from the host).
Net effect: pkgar files were NEVER published to repo/<target>/ during
the canonical build path, leaving the binary store effectively empty
across builds. With no cache, every recipe was forced to re-cook on
every build, even when its source and inputs had not changed.
Removed the guard so repo_builder always publishes. The per-target
subdirectory layout (repo/<target>/<pkg>.pkgar) is correct because
repo_builder uses redoxer::target() which resolves to the TARGET env
var, matching the lookup path used by cook_build.rs::restore_from_repo().
Static archives without -fPIC cannot be linked into PIE executables
(default on modern Linux). redbear-netctl-console failed to link with:
libncursesw.a: relocation R_X86_64_32 ... can not be used when making a PIE
object; recompile with -fPIE
Added --with-pic to ncurses and ncursesw configure flags to produce
position-independent static archives.
Previously, same_as recipes (ncursesw uses same_as = ../ncurses) would
fail with 'cannot guess version' because the cookbook only falls back
to Cargo.toml extraction, not the target's recipe.toml.
Now when source is same_as, read the target's recipe.toml directly and
use its [package].version field. Falls back to Cargo.toml probe if no
version is set in the target recipe.
This fixes all 'same_as' recipes (libstdcxx-v3, libatomic, ncursesw,
gmp/mpfr/mpc, etc.) without requiring explicit [package] on each.
ncursesw uses same_as = ../ncurses but the cookbook's guess_version
doesn't fall back to tar URL extraction when same_as is used. With
only [source] and [build], ncursesw has no parseable version → fails.
Added explicit [package] section with version 6.6 to ncursesw recipe,
matching the upstream ncurses version.
relibc has full Rust implementation of timerfd_create/timerfd_settime/
timerfd_gettime but lacked cbindgen.toml. cbindgen skipped the directory
entirely so <sys/timerfd.h> was never installed.
Required for Qt6 QSocketNotifier and many C programs.
recipes/dev/gcc13 was claiming name='cxx' — conflicted with
local/recipes/dev/gcc-native also claiming 'cxx'. Renamed to match
directory names for unique package identification by the cookbook.
Comprehensive fix — not a fallback. Each recipe now has explicit
[package] section with name and version. Version inference:
- Git-source recipes without rev/branch: '0.1.0' (Red Bear convention)
- Tar/git recipes with version in URL or dir name: extracted version
- Sysroot-copy recipes: matched to toolchain version
Affected: 250+ recipes across all categories (core, libs, dev, system,
kde, qt, drivers, gpu, drm, kernel, userspace, etc.) Every recipe
in the redbear-mini build chain that was missing [package] now has
explicit version metadata. Cookbook can now always determine a version
at packaging time, eliminating 'cannot guess version' failures.
No cookbook fallback hack — the source of truth is recipe metadata.
netdb: git source with no rev/branch — added explicit version 0.1.0.
Reverted the 'guess_version -> 0.1.0' cookbook fallback — masking
missing versions is not a fix, proper recipe metadata is.
When recipe has no [package].version, no parseable tar URL version,
no git rev/branch version, no Cargo.toml version, and no directory-name
version — fall back to '0.1.0' instead of failing with 'cannot guess
version'. This eliminates the class of failures for sysroot-copy and
simple git-source recipes like netdb, libgcc, libstdcxx, etc.
When recipes/<cat>/<name> is a directory symlink into local/recipes/,
creating a file-level symlink at recipes/<cat>/<name>/recipe.toml
resolves through the dir symlink and CORRUPTS the real file at
local/recipes/<cat>/<name>/recipe.toml (replaces it with a broken
self-referencing symlink).
This was the root cause of 186 'broken recipe.toml' auto-repairs
on every build. Called via apply-patches.sh line 369.
libgcc copies libgcc_s.so from toolchain sysroot and has no [source]
section. Cookbook's guess_version had nothing to parse — no tar URL,
no git rev, no directory-name version. Added explicit version 14.2.0
(matching the cross-compiler GCC).
Cookbook requires parseable version — ca-certificates (git source, no rev/branch)
and icu (tar URL with underscore version format) failed 'cannot guess version'
at packaging stage. Added explicit [package] sections:
- ca-certificates: version 0.1.0
- icu: version 75.1
Broken recipe.toml corruption also affects tracked symlinks in
recipes/ tree (e.g. recipes/libs/libxau/recipe.toml). Extended
the auto-repair find to cover both local/recipes/ and recipes/.
Detects broken recipe.toml symlinks in local/recipes/ (self-referencing
corruption from unknown source) and auto-restores from git before build.
Prevents 'Package not found' errors when recipe.toml files are unreadable.
apply-patches.sh: 005-qtbase signature now checks correct path
(recipes/wip/qt/qtbase, not recipes/libs/qtbase) and respects
local recipe override. Qt is desktop-only (redbear-full target).
check-fork-drift.sh: skip diverged forks (kernel, bootloader, installer)
to suppress spurious DRIFT warnings. These forks intentionally diverge
from upstream per fork-upstream-map.toml.
integrate-redbear.sh: add safety guard — refuse to symlink any path
ending in 'recipe.toml'. 185 local recipe.toml files were corrupted
into broken self-referencing symlinks by an earlier build session.
All restored from git. Guard prevents reoccurrence.
check-fork-drift.sh: diverged forks (kernel, bootloader, installer)
are intentionally ahead of upstream — skip them to suppress spurious
DRIFT warnings during build preflight.
apply-patches.sh: 005-qtbase patch signature now checks correct path
(recipes/wip/qt/qtbase/recipe.toml) and respects local recipe override.
Patch creates recipes/wip/qt/qtbase/recipe.toml but the signature
check looked for REDBEAR marker in recipes/libs/qtbase/recipe.toml
(wrong path). Also added check for local recipe existence (takes
precedence per local-over-WIP policy).
This was causing overlay integrity check failures during redbear-mini
builds even though Qt is irrelevant for the console target.
Common function names (new, read, write, parse, get, set, remove, etc.)
appear in many unrelated files — cross-file search produces false MOVED
classifications (e.g., fn new() in ipcd matches fn new() in xhcid).
The case-based guard skips cross-file search for 40+ common function names.
These must be handled via the .verify-fork-functions.exclude mechanism
instead — operator decides if removal was intentional or accidental.
Results: kernel 19→17 (kcall×2 correctly MOVED to user.rs, eq/hash
correctly blocked from false MOVED to fdstat.rs)
