vasilito a23012cee0 migrate: remove patch system, adopt direct source ownership
BREAKING CHANGE: The patch-based build system is removed.
All Red Bear source now lives in local/sources/<component>/ as git repos.

Changes:
- src/recipe.rs: remove patches field from SourceRecipe::Git/Tar, add Local variant
- src/cook/fetch.rs: delete fetch_apply_patches, validate_patches, normalize_patch,
  fetch_compute_patches_hash, fetch_write_patches_state, fetch_patches_state_stale,
  fetch_validate_patch_symlinks, fetch_is_patches_newer. Simplify fetch and
  fetch_offline. Remove recipe_has_patches. Add Local source handler.
- src/bin/repo.rs: remove validate-patches command and handle_validate_patches
- 70 recipe.toml files: remove patches arrays, convert core recipes to Local source
- 272 .patch symlinks deleted from recipe directories
- integrate-redbear.sh: replace patch symlink logic with source fork validation
- Makefile: replace validate-patches with validate-sources target
- AGENTS.md: remove 369 lines of patch documentation, add source ownership model
- local/docs/PATCH-GOVERNANCE.md: deleted (replaced by SOURCE-OWNERSHIP-MODEL.md)
- local/docs/SOURCE-OWNERSHIP-MODEL.md: new canonical reference
- local/sources/: Red Bear fork repos created (kernel, relibc, base, bootloader,
  installer) from frozen 0.1.0 pre-patched archives
- .gitignore: exclude local/sources/ (separate git repos)
- create-forks.sh: new script for initializing fork repos

Build: cargo check passes (5 warnings, 0 errors).
Developer workflow is now: edit local/sources/ → repo cook → test. No patches.

Base

Repository containing various system daemons, that are considered fundamental for the OS.

You can see what each component does in the following list:

  • audiod : Daemon used to process the sound drivers audio
  • bootstrap : First code that the kernel executes, responsible for spawning the init daemon
  • daemon : Redox daemon library
  • drivers
  • init : Daemon used to start most system components and programs
  • initfs : Filesystem with the necessary system components to run RedoxFS
  • ipcd : Daemon used for inter-process communication
  • logd : Daemon used to log system components and daemons
  • netstack : Daemon used for networking
  • ptyd : Daemon used for pseudo-terminal
  • ramfs : RAM filesystem
  • randd : Daemon used for random number generation
  • zerod : Daemon used to discard all writes and fill read buffers with zero

How To Contribute

To learn how to contribute you need to read the following document:

If you want to contribute to drivers read its README

Development

To learn how to do development with these system components inside the Redox build system you need to read the Build System and Coding and Building pages.

How To Build

It is recommended to build this system component via the Redox build system, you can learn how to do it on the Building Redox page.

To build and test outside the build system, install redoxer then use check.sh script to build or test:

  • ./check.sh - Check build for x86_64
  • ./check.sh --arch=ARCH - Check build for specific ARCH (aarch64, i586, riscv64gc)
  • ./check.sh --all - Check build for all ARCH
  • ./check.sh --test - Check the base system boots up on x86_64

You can also use make install to inspect the content on ./sysroot, or make test-gui to test booting with orbital interactively.
