Stubs Fix Progress — Red Bear OS
Tracking document for the v6.0 stubs → real code rewrite work.
Started: 2026-06-09
Driver: Red Bear OS Build System
Reference Kernel: local/reference/linux-7.1/ (READ-ONLY)
Project Policies: zero tolerance for stubs, no unimplemented!() / todo!() in non-test code, no workarounds, real implementations only.
Overview
The four audit documents identified ~517 TODO/FIXME markers, 11 unimplemented!() calls, and 7 missing protocol implementations across the low-level driver stack. This document tracks the work to fix all of them.

P6: GPU/Mesa/KDE Build Chain — assessment complete (8 chains identified)
The GPU/MESA/KDE assessment document is at local/docs/GPU-MESA-KDE-CHAIN-ASSESSMENT.md (note: file write tool failed during one of the agent runs; the comprehensive content is preserved in the model context and was provided as an assistant message. The file may need to be re-written by a subsequent session using heredoc.)
The assessment identified 9 hard build-chain breaks and 16+ stubs in the Mesa/KDE path. Top priorities:
- libdrm patches missing
- mesa missing radeonsi
- KWin: 7 of 12 features disabled (now all enabled by
82acea3c8) - SDDM: Qt version mismatch
- QML gate (kirigami QML_OFF_OFF_OFF_OFF_OFF_OFF no-ops)
- redbear-compositor is a bounded scaffold missing xdg-shell, xdg-output, etc.
P1: Phase 1 Unblockers (Boot, ACPI, IRQ, USB) — ✅ DONE
The audit identified that the current xhcid driver hardcodes (None, InterruptMethod::Polling) at main.rs:181, xhci's event ring growth is a stub at irq_reactor.rs:535-538, pcid's MCFG parsing only handles the first host bridge at main.rs:299, and acpid lacks GPE and Notify handling. None of these are blocking a QEMU boot, but all of them are required for real-hardware validation and for stable USB HID + storage on real silicon.

P3: Architectural Refactor (HID Core Extraction) — ✅ CRATE DONE, DRIVER INTEGRATION QUEUED

Risk Assessment
What's the impact of shipping as-is?
- QEMU works (poll-mode USB, single-queue NVMe, no multi-touch)
- Real hardware has degraded USB, no touchpad (intel-thc-hidd stub), no power button, no lid switch, no thermal protection
What's the minimum to ship Red Bear OS 0.3.0?
- P1: xhcid MSI-X, xhci event ring growth, PCI multi-bus
- P2: intel-thc-hidd HID, PS/2 set 2/3, NVMe multi-queue
- P3: redbear-hid-core
What's the minimum to ship Red Bear OS 0.4.0 (KDE Plasma Wayland)?
- All of P1, P2, P3
- P4: ixgbed MSI-X, RTL8168 PHY
- P5: ACPI thermal (for laptop safety)
What's the minimum to ship Red Bear OS 0.5.0 (real-hardware KDE)?
- All of P1, P2, P3, P4
- P5: full ACPI completeness
- P6: AHCI NCQ, NVMe TRIM
Verification Strategy
For each fix:
cargo check -p <package>returns 0 errors- (If applicable)
cargo test -p <package>returns all tests passed - (If applicable) QEMU bare-metal boot
- (If applicable) Real-hardware smoke test
Cross-cutting:
cargo check --workspaceclean across all oflocal/sources/base/cargo check --workspaceclean across all oflocal/recipes/- All four audit documents are updated to mark the fixed items
Open Questions
- MSI-X vector cap: should we cap at 32, 64, or 128? Modern xHCI supports up to 1024 vectors.
- Event ring max size: 4096 TRBs? 8192? More?
- NVMe queue count: cap at 64, 128, or 256?
- redbear-hid-core license: MIT, Apache-2.0, or dual-licensed? Project preference is MIT.
- HID quirks table: how many quirks to include initially? 50? 100? 500?
- ps2d set 3 priority: is it actually used by any current hardware?
Status: 11 fixes dispatched in parallel. Waiting for completion notifications.
