# RED BEAR OS — DERIVATIVE OF REDOX OS

## INTERNAL-FIRST POLICY

When building packages, resolving dependencies, or choosing between implementations,
**always prefer internal Red Bear source forks and recipes** over upstream or
third-party alternatives. This applies at every decision point:

| Decision | Always prefer |
|----------|--------------|
| Recipe location | `local/recipes/` over `recipes/` (upstream) |
| Source code | `local/sources/` (git forks, directly editable) over upstream clones |
| Source archive | Frozen archive in `sources/redbear-0.1.0/tarballs/` over re-download |
| Implementation | Red Bear Rust implementation over upstream C port |
| Config | `config/redbear-*.toml` over mainline `config/*.toml` |
| Scripts | `local/scripts/` over ad-hoc shell commands |

**Concretely:** if `local/recipes/<category>/<name>/` exists and is symlinked into the
recipe tree, that is the authoritative recipe — never fall back to the upstream
`recipes/` version. Source changes go as git commits in `local/sources/<component>/`,
never as ad-hoc edits to recipe source trees.

**Rationale:** the local overlay is the durable, version-controlled, release-safe layer.
Upstream recipes are disposable and may be overwritten by `make distclean` or release
provisioning. Only `local/` survives across rebuilds and releases.

## TUI CONVENTION — `-i` INTERACTIVE SWITCH

All Red Bear desktop applications that offer a TUI mode MUST use `-i`/`--interactive`
as the standard switch. Applications without a subcommand default to launching their TUI.

| App | TUI | `-i` flag | Description |
|-----|-----|-----------|-------------|
| `cub` | ratatui | ✅ | AUR package manager (search/info/install/build/query tabs) |
| `redbear-info` | ratatui | ✅ | System dashboard (System/Hardware/Network/Integrations/Health tabs) |
| `redbear-netctl` | ratatui | ✅ | Network profile manager console |

**Pattern:**
- `app` (no args) → launches TUI if terminal available, else help
- `app -i` → launches TUI regardless
- `app <command>` → CLI mode
- Feature-gate TUI behind `tui` feature in Cargo.toml for minimal builds
- Use `ratatui 0.30 + termion` (same stack as cub-tui)

This directory contains ALL custom work on top of mainline Redox. When mainline Redox
updates (`git pull` on the build system repo), this directory is untouched.

## STUB AND WORKAROUND POLICY — ZERO TOLERANCE

**Red Bear OS has zero tolerance for stubs, workarounds, `#ifdef`-guarded no-ops, fake headers,
sed/awk hacks, `LD_PRELOAD` tricks, rename-to-.disabled wrappers, or any
other "make it compile" shortcut.**

If something doesn't build because of a missing implementation, the ONLY acceptable response is
to implement the missing functionality in the correct component:

| Problem | Correct Fix |
|---------|-------------|
| `eventfd()` not found | Implement `eventfd()` in relibc, generate `sys/eventfd.h` via cbindgen |
| `signalfd()` not found | Implement `signalfd()` in relibc, generate `sys/signalfd.h` via cbindgen |
| Missing POSIX type | Add it to the relibc header it belongs to, with proper `stdint.h` include chain |
| Compiler can't find header | Fix the include path in the recipe's sysroot/cookbook, NOT by adding `-I` hacks |
| CMake can't find dependency | Implement the dependency or fix pkg-config, NOT with `-DFEATURE_x=OFF` |
| Qt needs `open_memstream` | Implement it in relibc — never add a static stub in Qt or libwayland source |

**Any stub found in the tree is a bug to be fixed, not a precedent to follow.**

When relibc gains a function or type that obsoletes a previously-needed local stub, the stub
MUST be removed and the dependency switched to relibc's implementation. Coexistence of stubs
with real implementations causes header conflicts, linker errors, and silent ABI mismatches.

This applies to: relibc functions, kernel syscalls, C headers, CMake modules, pkg-config `.pc`
files, Wayland protocol stubs, D-Bus service stubs, and any other layer of the stack.

**No exceptions. No "temporary." No "until we fix it properly."**

## BUILD DURABILITY AND CASCADE POLICY

### Every Build Lands in the Repo

Every successful `repo cook <package>` MUST produce durable artifacts:

1. **Package in the repo**: `repo/x86_64-unknown-redox/<name>.pkgar` + `<name>.toml`
2. **Committed source**: All source modifications committed in the appropriate `local/sources/<component>/` git repo

A build is **not complete** until the repo artifacts exist. Verify after every cook:

```bash
./target/release/repo find <package>           # Must find the package
ls repo/x86_64-unknown-redox/<package>.toml     # Manifest must exist
ls repo/x86_64-unknown-redox/<package>.pkgar    # Archive must exist
```

If a package was built but the repo artifacts are missing, the build did not complete.
If source changes were made but not committed to `local/sources/<component>/`, commit them there.

### Cascade Rebuild Rule

When a low-level package changes, **all packages that transitively depend on it
must be rebuilt**. A stale dependent silently produces link errors, ABI mismatches,
or runtime crashes.

```bash
# Rebuild relibc and everything that depends on it
./local/scripts/rebuild-cascade.sh relibc

# Dry run: show what would be rebuilt without building
./local/scripts/rebuild-cascade.sh --dry-run relibc

# Multiple root packages
./local/scripts/rebuild-cascade.sh relibc ncurses
```

The script performs BFS over reverse dependencies: it finds all packages whose
`recipe.toml` lists the target in `dependencies`, transitively expands, then builds
root-first followed by dependents.

**Always use cascade rebuilds after changing:**
- relibc (headers, ABI, any patches)
- Kernel (syscall ABI changes)
- Shared libraries (ncurses, zlib, openssl, etc.)
- Any package listed in other packages' `dependencies`

**Example:** Changing relibc's `sys/types/internal.h` header requires rebuilding
bison, m4, flex, and every other gnulib-based package that includes system headers
through the relibc include chain.

## DESIGN PRINCIPLE

Red Bear OS is a **full fork** based on frozen Redox OS snapshots:
  - We baseline on a specific Redox OS state and work from immutable, archived sources
  - The `local/` directory contains our custom work — untouched by any source immutable archived
  - First-class configs use `redbear-*` naming (not `my-*`, which is gitignored)
  - Sources are NEVER auto-immutable archived from upstream — all changes are explicit, human-initiated

## FREE/LIBRE SOFTWARE POLICY

Red Bear OS must remain a free/libre project.

- Prefer components that are open-source, freely available to all users, or built in-tree by Red Bear.
- Do not introduce proprietary, source-unavailable, paywalled, or redistributability-restricted dependencies into the tracked system surface.
- When a dependency is dual-licensed under multiple free/open licenses, choose and document the option that is compatible with the Red Bear project surface.
- For the greeter/login stack specifically, the current SHA-crypt verifier path is the pure-Rust `sha-crypt` crate, licensed `MIT OR Apache-2.0`; Red Bear treats it under the MIT option for compatibility with the project's free-software policy.

Build flow:
```
make all CONFIG_NAME=redbear-full
  → mk/config.mk resolves to the active desktop/graphics compile target
  → Desktop/graphics are available only on redbear-full
  → repo cook builds all packages from local sources (offline by default)
  → Each successful cook produces repo/<arch>/<name>.pkgar + <name>.toml
  → mk/disk.mk creates harddrive.img with Red Bear branding
  → REDBEAR_RELEASE=0.1.0 ensures immutable, archived sources
```

Cascade rebuild flow (when a low-level package changes):
```
./local/scripts/rebuild-cascade.sh <package>
  → Finds all packages whose recipe.toml lists <package> in dependencies
  → BFS expands the reverse dependency graph
  → Builds root package first, then dependents in dependency order
  → Pushes all rebuilt packages to sysroot
  → Every rebuilt package lands in repo/ (.pkgar + .toml)
```

Release flow:
```
# Sources are immutable — build from archives, never from network
./local/scripts/build-redbear.sh redbear-full

# Check for newer Redox snapshots (read-only, no side effects):
./local/scripts/check-upstream-releases.sh

# Provision a new release (explicit, human-initiated only):
./local/scripts/provision-release.sh --ref=<redox-tag> --release=0.2.0
```

## ACTIVE COMPILE TARGETS

The supported compile targets are exactly three. All three work for both `make all` (harddrive.img)
and `make live` (ISO):

- `redbear-full`  — Desktop/graphics-enabled target (Wayland + KDE + GPU drivers)
- `redbear-mini`  — Text-only console/recovery/install target
- `redbear-grub`  — Text-only target with GRUB boot manager

Desktop/graphics are available only on `redbear-full`.

## RELEASE MODEL (FORK — NOT OVERLAY)

Red Bear OS sources are frozen at release 0.1.0. Sources are immutable and archived in
`sources/redbear-0.1.0/`. Network access during builds is disabled by default.

### How releases work:
- **Current baseline:** 0.1.0 (snapshot of Redox at build-system commit `f55acba68`)
- **All recipe sources are pinned** with `rev = "..."` in `recipe.toml`
- **Archives are stored** in `sources/redbear-0.1.0/` with a manifest and BLAKE3 checksums
- **Builds are offline by default** — `REPO_OFFLINE=1 COOKBOOK_OFFLINE=true`
- **NO silent upstream pulls** — see `AGENTS.md` "NO SILENT UPSTREAM PULLS" section for the full policy. Any script or build target that silently pulls from upstream is a bug.
- **New releases are provisioned explicitly** via `provision-release.sh`, never automatically
- **Old releases are NEVER deleted** — each new release is added alongside existing ones

### Checking for new Redox snapshots:
```bash
./local/scripts/check-upstream-releases.sh    # Read-only, zero side effects
```

### Provisioning a new release:
```bash
./local/scripts/provision-release.sh --ref=<redox-tag> --release=0.2.0 [--dry-run]
```

### Restoring sources from archives:
```bash
./local/scripts/restore-sources.sh --release=0.1.0
```

## SOURCE-OF-TRUTH RULE (VERY IMPORTANT)

Treat the repository as two different layers with different durability guarantees:

### 1. Source archive layer — immutable per release

These paths are expected to be replaced, refetched, or regenerated when upstream changes:

- `recipes/*/source/`
- most of `recipes/` outside our symlinked `local/recipes/*` release fork
- `config/desktop.toml`, `config/minimal.toml`, and other mainline configs
- generated build outputs under `target/`, `build/`, `repo/`, and recipe-local `target/*`

For relibc specifically, **`recipes/core/relibc/source/` is upstream-owned working source**, not
Red Bear’s durable storage location. We may build and validate there, but we must not rely on that
tree alone to preserve Red Bear work.

### 2. Red Bear-owned layer — durable, must survive release provisioning

These paths are our actual long-term source of truth:

- `local/sources/` — Red Bear source forks (git repos, directly editable)
- `local/recipes/` — Red Bear recipe release fork and new packages
- `local/docs/` — Red Bear planning, validation, and integration documentation
- tracked Red Bear configs such as `config/redbear-*.toml`

If we can fetch fresh upstream sources tomorrow, provision sources from `sources/redbear-<release>/`, verify
`local/recipes/*`, and rebuild successfully, then the work is in the right place.

If a change exists only inside an upstream-owned `recipes/*/source/` tree, then it is **not yet
preserved**, even if the current build happens to pass.

### Upstream-first rule for fast-moving components

Some components, especially relibc, are actively evolving upstream. For those areas, Red Bear must
prefer the upstream solution whenever upstream already solves the same problem.

That means:

- if our source fork has a fix that upstream still needs, keep it in the fork
- if upstream lands an equivalent or better solution, prefer upstream and port our additional changes on top
- do not keep Red Bear-specific code just because it existed first; keep it only while it still provides unique value

When upstream Redox already provides a package, crate, or subsystem for functionality that also
exists in Red Bear local code, prefer the upstream Redox version by default unless the Red Bear
implementation is materially better. Do not grow lower-quality in-house duplicates as a steady
state.

For quirks and driver support specifically:

- prefer improving and using the canonical `redox-driver-sys` path,
- avoid maintaining separate lower-quality quirk engines when the same functionality belongs in
  `redox-driver-sys`,
- if duplication is temporarily unavoidable, treat it as convergence work to remove, not as a
  permanent design.

### Daily workflow

For any change to Red Bear-owned source:

1. edit the source in `local/sources/<component>/`
2. build: `repo cook <component>`
3. test: `make qemu`
4. commit: `git -C local/sources/<component>/ commit`
5. push: `git -C local/sources/<component>/ push`

The success criterion is therefore:

> We can sources are provisioned via provision-release.sh and archived in sources/redbear-<release>/
> build the project successfully.

### Local recipe priority vs upstream WIP

When Red Bear maintains a local recipe and upstream contains a package with the same name under
`recipes/wip/*`, Red Bear must prefer the local recipe unconditionally.

- Use the local release fork symlink in `recipes/*/<name> -> ../../local/recipes/...`
- Do not switch back to upstream WIP for active Red Bear builds
- Re-evaluate only when upstream package exits WIP and becomes a normal maintained package

```bash
# Automated sync (preferred):
./local/scripts/check-upstream-releases.sh              # Check for new Redox snapshots (read-only)
./local/scripts/provision-release.sh --ref=<tag> --release=0.2.0 --dry-run   # Preview new release
make all CONFIG_NAME=redbear-full             # Rebuild OS
```

## TRACKING MAINLINE CHANGES

When mainline updates affect our work:

| Component | What to check | Where |
|-----------|---------------|-------|
| Kernel | ACPI, scheme, memory API changes | `recipes/core/kernel/source/src/` |
| relibc | New POSIX functions added upstream | `recipes/core/relibc/source/src/header/` |
| Base drivers | Driver API changes | `recipes/core/base/source/drivers/` |
| libdrm | DRM API updates | `recipes/libs/libdrm/` or the current in-tree libdrm location |
| Mesa | OpenGL/Vulkan backend changes | `recipes/libs/mesa/` |
| Build system | Makefile/config changes | `mk/`, `src/` |
| rsext4 | ext4 crate API changes | `local/recipes/core/ext4d/source/` Cargo.toml |
| Installer | ext4 dispatch, filesystem selection, GRUB bootloader | `local/sources/installer/` (git fork) |
| Quirks | New Linux quirk entries to port | `local/recipes/drivers/redox-driver-sys/source/src/quirks/` |

## PLANNING NOTES

- `docs/07-RED-BEAR-OS-IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md` is the canonical public execution plan.
- `local/docs/CONSOLE-TO-KDE-DESKTOP-PLAN.md` (v4.0) is the canonical comprehensive plan —
  supersedes all individual subsystem docs. See it for current state, blockers, and roadmap.
- `local/docs/WAYLAND-IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md` is the canonical Wayland subsystem plan beneath the
  desktop path. Use it for Wayland-specific stability, completeness, ownership, and runtime-proof
  sequencing.
- `local/docs/DRM-MODERNIZATION-EXECUTION-PLAN.md` is the current DRM-focused execution plan beneath
  the canonical desktop path. It keeps Intel and AMD at the same evidence bar while separating
  display/KMS maturity from render/3D maturity.
- Older GPU-specific docs (`AMD-FIRST-INTEGRATION.md`, `HARDWARE-3D-ASSESSMENT.md`, `DMA-BUF-IMPROVEMENT-PLAN.md`) have been retired and removed from the tree. Their content is subsumed by `CONSOLE-TO-KDE-DESKTOP-PLAN.md` and `DRM-MODERNIZATION-EXECUTION-PLAN.md`.
- `DESKTOP-STACK-CURRENT-STATUS.md` has been retired — its content merged into `CONSOLE-TO-KDE-DESKTOP-PLAN.md`.
- `local/docs/AMD-FIRST-INTEGRATION.md` remains the deeper AMD-specific technical roadmap, but AMD
  and Intel machines are now equal-priority Red Bear OS targets.
- `local/docs/WIFI-IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md` is the current Wi-Fi architecture and rollout plan,
  including the bounded role of `linux-kpi` and the native wireless control-plane direction.
- `local/docs/USB-IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md` and `local/docs/BLUETOOTH-IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md` should
  also be treated as first-class subsystem plans, not as side notes.
- `local/docs/IRQ-AND-LOWLEVEL-CONTROLLERS-ENHANCEMENT-PLAN.md` is the current umbrella plan for
  IRQ delivery, MSI/MSI-X quality, IOMMU validation, and other low-level controller completeness work.
- `local/docs/QUIRKS-SYSTEM.md` documents the hardware quirks infrastructure: compiled-in tables,
  TOML runtime files, DMI matching, driver integration, and the linux-kpi C FFI bridge.
- `local/docs/QUIRKS-IMPROVEMENT-PLAN.md` has been retired — quirks convergence is tracked in `QUIRKS-SYSTEM.md` and the canonical desktop path plan.
- `local/docs/DBUS-INTEGRATION-PLAN.md` is the canonical D-Bus architecture and implementation plan for KDE Plasma 6 on Wayland. It defines the phased approach to D-Bus service integration, the `redbear-sessiond` login1-compatible session broker, and the gap analysis for desktop-facing D-Bus services.
- `local/docs/GREETER-LOGIN-IMPLEMENTATION-PLAN.md` is the canonical Red Bear-native greeter/login design and current implementation plan for the `redbear-full` desktop path. It defines the `redbear-authd` / `redbear-session-launch` / `redbear-greeter` split, service wiring, validation surface, and the current boundary between the active greeter path and the older `redbear-validation-session` helper flows.

The current execution order for these subsystem plans is:

1. IRQ / low-level controller quality
2. USB maturity
3. Wi-Fi native control plane and first driver family
4. Bluetooth controller + host path
5. desktop/session compatibility on top of those runtime services

Do not present USB, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or low-level controller work as optional or secondary.

## LINUX KERNEL SOURCE POLICY (CRITICAL)

Linux kernel source is **REFERENCE ONLY** — never a dependency.

If Red Bear OS needs something from the Linux kernel, it MUST be implemented in the project
tree, using Linux source as reference only.

### Policy (VERBATIM)
> "If we need something from Linux kernel, it MUST be implemented in our tree, having Linux source as reference only"
> "If we need linux-input-headers than we must code redbear-input-headers"

### linux-kpi Scope
`local/recipes/drivers/linux-kpi/` covers **ONLY**:
- DRM/GPU headers (`drm/`) — AMD + Intel display drivers
- Wi-Fi headers (`net/`) — mac80211, cfg80211, nl80211
- General kernel headers (`linux/`) — mm, device, irq, dma-mapping, firmware, etc.

**Does NOT cover**: USB, input subsystem, or any other Linux kernel subsystem.

### Implementing New Linux-Compatibility Headers
When Red Bear needs Linux kernel headers for a new subsystem:

1. Create `local/recipes/drivers/redbear-<subsystem>-headers/`
2. Implement headers using Linux source as **reference only**
3. Do NOT pull Linux source tarballs directly
4. Do NOT use third-party tarballs that bundle Linux headers as a proxy
5. Examples:
   - `redbear-input-headers/` → linux/input.h, input-event-codes.h, uinput.h
   - `redbear-usb-headers/` → linux/usb/ch9.h, etc. (NOT linux-kpi's purpose)

### linux-input-headers — Policy Violation
`recipes/wip/libs/linux-input-headers/` extracts Linux kernel input headers from the
libevdev tarball. This is a **policy violation** — it pulls Linux headers via a third-party
tarball. The correct implementation is `redbear-input-headers` in `local/recipes/drivers/`.

## FILESYSTEMS

Red Bear OS supports three filesystems:

| Filesystem | Implementation | Package | Status |
|------------|---------------|---------|--------|
| RedoxFS | Mainline Redox (default) | `recipes/core/redoxfs` | ✅ Stable |
| ext4 | rsext4 0.3 crate + ext4d scheme daemon | `local/recipes/core/ext4d` | ✅ Compiles + Installer wired |
| FAT (VFAT) | fatfs 0.3.6 crate + fatd scheme daemon | `local/recipes/core/fatd` | ✅ Compiles + Tools tested + label write verified |

### ext4 Workspace (`local/recipes/core/ext4d/source/`)

```
ext4d/source/
├── Cargo.toml              ← Workspace: ext4-blockdev, ext4d, ext4-mkfs
├── ext4-blockdev/           ← BlockDevice trait impls for rsext4
│   ├── Cargo.toml           ← Features: default=["redox"], redox=[libredox,syscall]
│   └── src/
│       ├── lib.rs           ← Re-exports: FileDisk, RedoxDisk, Ext4Error, Ext4Result
│       ├── file_disk.rs     ← FileDisk: std::fs backed, builds on host Linux + Redox
│       └── redox_disk.rs    ← RedoxDisk: syscall/libredox backed, Redox-only (feature-gated)
├── ext4d/                   ← ext4 filesystem scheme daemon (Redox userspace)
│   ├── Cargo.toml           ← Features: default=["redox"], redox deps
│   └── src/
│       ├── main.rs          ← Daemon: fork, SIGTERM, scheme registration
│       ├── mount.rs         ← Scheme event loop (redox_scheme::SchemeSync)
│       ├── scheme.rs        ← Full ext4 FSScheme: open, read, write, mkdir, unlink, stat...
│       └── handle.rs        ← FileHandle, DirectoryHandle, Handle types
└── ext4-mkfs/               ← ext4 mkfs tool (host-side utility)
    ├── Cargo.toml
    └── src/main.rs          ← Creates ext4 images via FileDisk + rsext4::mkfs
```

**Architecture**:
- `ext4d` is a Redox scheme daemon — it serves ext4 filesystems via `scheme:ext4d`
- Uses `rsext4` crate (pure Rust ext4 implementation) for all filesystem operations
- `FileDisk` allows building/testing on the Linux host machine
- `RedoxDisk` uses `libredox` + `redox_syscall` for actual Redox bare-metal I/O
- Both impls are behind the `redox` feature flag — `--no-default-features` gives Linux-only

**Recipe**: Symlinked into mainline search path:
```
recipes/core/ext4d → local/recipes/core/ext4d
```

**Config**: ext4d is included in `config/desktop.toml` (mainline), which `redbear-full.toml` inherits.

**Dependencies** (from workspace Cargo.toml):
- `rsext4 = "0.3"` — Pure Rust ext4 filesystem implementation
- `redox_syscall = "0.7.3"` — Redox syscall wrappers (scheme, data types, flags)
- `redox-scheme = "0.11.0"` — Scheme server framework
- `libredox = "0.1.13"` — High-level Redox syscalls (open, read, write, fstat)
- `redox-path = "0.3.0"` — Redox path utilities

### Installer ext4 + GRUB Integration

The mainline installer is patched to support ext4 as an install target filesystem and
GRUB as an alternative boot manager:
- `GeneralConfig.filesystem: Option<String>` — TOML field, accepts `"redoxfs"` (default) or `"ext4"`
- `GeneralConfig.bootloader: Option<String>` — TOML field, accepts `"redox"` (default) or `"grub"`
- `FilesystemType` enum — dispatch tag used by `install_inner`
- `with_whole_disk_ext4()` — GPT partition layout + ext4 mkfs + file sync (mirrors `with_whole_disk`)
- `Ext4SliceDisk<T>` — adapts `DiskWrapper` to rsext4's `BlockDevice` trait
- `sync_host_dir_to_ext4()` — copies staged sysroot files into ext4 filesystem
- GRUB chainload: when `bootloader = "grub"`, writes GRUB EFI + grub.cfg to ESP alongside Redox bootloader
- CLI flags: `--filesystem ext4` / `--bootloader grub`

Usage in config TOML:
```toml
[general]
filesystem = "ext4"        # "redoxfs" is default
bootloader = "grub"        # "redox" is default
efi_partition_size = 16    # Required for GRUB (default 1 MiB is too small)
filesystem_size = 10240    # MB
```

See `local/docs/GRUB-INTEGRATION-PLAN.md` for the full GRUB architecture and usage guide.

### FAT (VFAT) Workspace (`local/recipes/core/fatd/source/`)

```
fatd/source/
├── Cargo.toml              ← Workspace: fat-blockdev, fatd, fat-mkfs, fat-label, fat-check
├── fat-blockdev/            ← Block device adapter for fatfs crate
│   ├── src/lib.rs           ← Re-exports: FileDisk (always), RedoxDisk (feature-gated)
│   ├── src/file_disk.rs     ← FileDisk: std::fs::File → Read+Write+Seek
│   └── src/redox_disk.rs    ← RedoxDisk: libredox → Read+Write+Seek (redox feature)
├── fatd/                    ← FAT filesystem scheme daemon (Redox userspace)
│   ├── src/main.rs          ← Daemon: fork, SIGTERM, dispatch to FileDisk/RedoxDisk
│   ├── src/mount.rs         ← Scheme event loop (redox_scheme::SchemeSync)
│   ├── src/scheme.rs        ← FatScheme: full FSScheme (open/read/write/mkdir/unlink/stat...)
│   └── src/handle.rs        ← FileHandle, DirectoryHandle, Handle types
├── fat-mkfs/                ← mkfs.fat equivalent (create FAT12/16/32 filesystems)
│   └── src/main.rs
├── fat-label/               ← fatlabel equivalent (read + write volume labels via BPB)
│   └── src/main.rs          ← `-s "LABEL"` writes label at BPB offset 43/71; verifies round-trip
└── fat-check/               ← fsck.fat equivalent (verify BPB, FAT chains, directory tree + safe repair)
    └── src/main.rs          ← `--repair` clears dirty flag, fixes FSInfo, reclaims lost clusters
```

**Architecture**: `fatd` is a Redox scheme daemon using `fatfs` v0.3.6 (MIT, no_std capable).
FAT is for data volumes and ESP only — NOT for root filesystem.
`fscommon::BufStream` wraps block device for mandatory caching.

**Recipe**: Symlinked into mainline search path:
```
recipes/core/fatd → ../../local/recipes/core/fatd
```

**Config**: Packages included via `config/redbear-device-services.toml` (inherited by
`redbear-full.toml` and `redbear-mini.toml`). Init service at
`/usr/lib/init.d/15_fatd.service`.

**Dependencies**: fatfs 0.3.6, fscommon 0.1.1, redox_syscall, redox-scheme, libredox, libc

**Tool verification status** (2026-04-17):
- `fat-mkfs`: ✅ Creates FAT12/16/32, labels, auto-detection, cluster size option (`-c`), tested up to 1GB
- `fat-label`: ✅ Reads labels; writes BPB + creates/updates root-directory volume-label entry; verifies round-trip on all FAT types (including previously unlabeled volumes)
- `fat-check`: ✅ BPB validation, boot signature check, directory tree walk, cluster stats; ✅ safe repair (dirty flag including FAT12, FSInfo, lost clusters, orphaned LFN). Handles 0xFFFFFFFF FSInfo sentinel on fresh images.
- `fatd`: ✅ Compiles (links on Redox target only — expected). ✅ `frename` + rmdir non-empty check implemented. NOT runtime-tested (requires QEMU/bare metal).
- Phase 4 (runtime auto-mount): Deferred to runtime validation. Static init service exists.
- Known limitation: fatfs v0.3.6 strictly requires `total_sectors_16 == 0` for FAT32, rejecting some Linux `mkfs.fat` images
- `cargo test`: 60 unit tests (25 scheme + 7 label + 28 check) + 13+ integration edge cases

## BRANDING ASSETS

Red Bear OS visual identity files live in `local/Assets/`.

```
local/Assets/
└── images/
    ├── Red Bear OS icon.png              ← App icon / logo (1254x1254px)
    │                                        Red bear head, dark background, red border
    │                                        Use: desktop icon, bootloader logo, about dialog
    └── Red Bear OS loading background.png ← Boot / loading screen (1536x1024px)
                                             Cinematic red bear with forest silhouette
                                             Use: bootloader splash, login screen background
```

**Integration points** (future):
| Asset | Target | How |
|-------|--------|-----|
| icon.png | Bootloader logo | Convert to BMP, embed via bootloader config |
| icon.png | Desktop icon | Install to `/usr/share/icons/hicolor/` via redbear-release recipe |
| icon.png | About dialog | Install through the active icon/theme surface |
| loading background.png | Boot splash | Convert to framebuffer-compatible format, display during startup |
| loading background.png | Login screen | Set as the display-session background |

**Current status**: Assets are committed to git. Not yet integrated into the build — requires bootloader and display server integration (P2 hardware validation).

## BUILD SYSTEM SAFETY

The build system includes collision detection and validation to prevent the D-Bus regression
class (config overrides silently overwritten by package staging).

### Validation Targets

```bash
make lint-config                       # Check for /usr/lib/init.d/ in config [[files]]
make validate CONFIG_NAME=redbear-mini # Full validation: lint + init services + ownership
```

### Init Service Path Convention

- Packages own `/usr/lib/init.d/` — default service files from recipe staging
- Config overrides own `/etc/init.d/` — override files from `[[files]]` entries
- Config `[[files]]` MUST NOT use `/usr/lib/init.d/` paths for init services
- The init system's `config_for_dirs()` gives `/etc/init.d/` priority via BTreeMap dedup

### Collision Detection (installer)

The installer includes `CollisionTracker` (in `collision.rs`) that detects when package
staging overwrites config pre-install files. Init service collisions always error. Other
collisions warn by default, error in strict mode (`REDBEAR_STRICT_COLLISION=1`).

### Recipe Installs Manifest

Recipes can declare installed paths via `installs = [...]` in `[package]` section.
`scripts/validate-file-ownership.sh` checks for conflicts. No recipes declare installs yet.

### Manifest Generation

```bash
scripts/generate-installs-manifest.sh base  # Output suggested installs for base package
```

See `local/docs/BUILD-SYSTEM-HARDENING-PLAN.md` for the full 5-phase hardening plan.
See `local/docs/BUILD-SYSTEM-INVARIANTS.md` for invariants I1-I3.

## ANTI-PATTERNS

- **DO NOT** edit files under mainline `recipes/` directly — put patches in `local/patches/`
- **DO NOT** commit firmware blobs to git — use `local/scripts/fetch-firmware.sh`
- **DO NOT** modify `mk/` or `src/` directly — extend via `local/scripts/`
- **DO NOT** assume mainline recipe names won't conflict — prefix custom ones (e.g., `redox-`)
- **DO NOT** use `my-*` naming for configs that should be tracked in git — use `redbear-*` instead
- **DO NOT** edit config/base.toml directly — our configs include it and override via TOML merge
- **DO NOT** attempt to immutable archived sources from upstream — sources are immutable; use provision-release.sh

## COMPREHENSIVE IMPLEMENTATION POLICY

Red Bear OS has **zero tolerance for shortcuts, workarounds, and stubs**. Every package in the
build must be a comprehensive, real implementation. No approximations.

### The Rule

When a package fails to build due to missing functionality:

1. **DO NOT** mark packages as `"ignore"` to skip them
2. **DO NOT** create stub recipes that provide fake cmake configs without real functionality
3. **DO NOT** disable required dependencies via sed/cmake hacks without implementing the dependency

### Fix Before Disable

When a build blocker exposes a missing producer surface, missing dependency export, or incomplete
integration boundary, the default policy is:

> **Always do your best to fix before disabling.**

This means:

- prefer restoring the real producer/package surface over commenting out the consumer
- prefer fixing CMake/pkg-config/header visibility over disabling the dependent feature
- treat disabling as a last resort, not the normal path

If disabling is temporarily unavoidable, it must be:

- explicit,
- narrowly scoped,
- documented with the real blocker,
- and treated as temporary debt to remove, not as the desired final state.

Instead, **implement the missing functionality properly**:

| Missing Component | Required Action |
|------------------|----------------|
| Missing POSIX function in relibc | Implement it in `recipes/core/relibc/source/` + create patch in `local/patches/relibc/` |
| Missing KF6 package | Create full recipe in `local/recipes/kde/` with proper cmake build |
| Disabled Qt feature (e.g., QtNetwork) | Implement the feature properly in qtbase recipe |
| Missing system call | Implement in kernel recipe + create patch in `local/patches/kernel/` |

### Why This Matters

- Stubs and workarounds accumulate technical debt
- They block real functionality from ever being implemented
- They make the system unreliable and untestable
- They hide the real work that needs to be done

### Current Comprehensive Implementation Gaps

**CREDENTIAL SYSCALLS — RESOLVED (2026-04-30)**: `setgroups`, `getgroups`, `initgroups`, `setresuid`, `setresgid`, `getrlimit`, `setrlimit` are now implemented. See `local/docs/KERNEL-IPC-CREDENTIAL-PLAN.md` for the full implementation detail.

**Implementation**: Kernel: `Context.groups: Vec<u32>`, `CallerCtx.groups`, Groups proc scheme handle at `auth-{fd}-groups`. Relibc: `posix_setgroups()`/`posix_getgroups()` in redox-rt, real `setgroups()`/`getgroups()` in platform layer, RLIMIT userspace stubs. Durable patches: `local/patches/kernel/P4-supplementary-groups.patch`, `local/patches/relibc/P4-setgroups-getgroups.patch`.

| Gap | Root Cause | Status |
|-----|-----------|--------|
| `setgroups` ENOSYS on Redox | Redox kernel had no supplementary group infrastructure | ✅ RESOLVED |
| `getgroups` returns only egid | Redox kernel had no group table concept | ✅ RESOLVED |
| `setuid/setgid/getuid/getgid` | No credential syscalls in kernel | ✅ Already worked via `posix_setresugid` (proc scheme) |
| `getrlimit`/`setrlimit` | ENOSYS | ✅ RESOLVED — userspace stubs with defaults |
| **CONFIG: KWin is a stub** | KWin recipe attempts real cmake build with QML/Quick disabled. Blocked by QML gate. Previously had wrapper stubs — removed 2026-04-30. | ✅ RESOLVED: honest recipe, fails on QML gate |
| **CONFIG: 36/48 KDE packages enabled** | 12 blocked by QML gate (kirigami → plasma-framework → plasma-workspace → plasma-desktop). See `local/docs/CONSOLE-TO-KDE-DESKTOP-PLAN.md` for breakdown. | **BLOCKED**: QML gate requires Qt6Quick/QML engineering |
| **CONFIG: Plasma packages blocked** | plasma-framework, plasma-workspace, plasma-desktop depend on kirigami (QML gate). Documented in plan. | **BLOCKED**: QML gate |
| **CONFIG: Greeter service** | 20_greeter.service wired. Greeter QEMU proof passes (GREETER_HELLO=ok, GREETER_VALID=ok). | ✅ RESOLVED |
| **RUNTIME: Greeter UI** | Qt Wayland integration: redbear-compositor handles Wayland protocol. Qt6's Wayland plugin reports loading issues due to endianness in compositor wire format. | **DOCUMENTED** in plan |
| **RUNTIME: Greeter UI crash** | Qt Wayland integration fails (`wl-shell` deprecated, `xdg-shell` not working) | Fix Qt platform plugin initialization for Wayland |
| **RUNTIME: D-Bus user lookup** | `root` and `messagebus` users not found in passwd database → ✅ RESOLVED: user/group config exists in redbear-full.toml; runtime files generated in build | Verify in QEMU runtime |
| **RUNTIME: seatd missing** | `seatd` binary not in image despite being in config → ✅ RESOLVED: seatd builds and is in image | Verify in QEMU runtime |
| **RUNTIME: getrlimit(7)** | relibc `getrlimit` not implemented → ✅ RESOLVED: implemented in relibc patches | Verify in QEMU runtime |

### Kernel Syscall Gap Analysis

The Redox kernel (`recipes/core/kernel/source/src/syscall/mod.rs`) match statement ends with:
```rust
_ => Err(Error::new(ENOSYS)),
```

All credential syscalls (`SYS_SETGROUPS`, `SYS_GETGROUPS`, `SYS_SETUID`, `SYS_SETGID`, etc.) fall through to this catch-all and return `ENOSYS`.

The syscall numbers come from `redox_syscall` crate (external, versioned) - not defined in the kernel tree.

### Fixes Applied (2026-04-29)

1. **relibc/grp/cbindgen.toml**: Added group functions to export list
2. **relibc/grp/mod.rs**: Implemented `getgroups()` with egid fallback
3. **Patches created**: `local/patches/relibc/P3-grp-cbindgen-exports.patch`, `P3-getgroups-implementation.patch`
4. **KERNEL GAP**: Cannot fix without upstream `redox_syscall` + kernel changes

### Implementation Locations

- POSIX functions: `recipes/core/relibc/source/src/header/<func>/` + `local/patches/relibc/`
- New KF6 recipes: `local/recipes/kde/kf6-<name>/`
- Kernel syscalls: `recipes/core/kernel/source/` + `local/patches/kernel/`
- Qt fixes: `recipes/qt/qtbase/source/` + `local/patches/qtbase/`
