Problem and motivation
This issue tracks continuous Phase 6 audit closure for
lib-bootstrap. Define and validate bootstrap byte contracts, role startup records and payloads shared by rootd and launched services.An initial inventory is not a security or documentation closure claim. Evidence must follow each changed boundary through final heads, with priority security, reliability, then performance.
Proposed behavior and scope
Current inventory: 1 Cargo target (1 lib); manifests:
Cargo.toml. Include explicit and automatically discovered targets, supported features and target-specific configurations.Trace authority-bearing values across callers and public APIs; prove that the library does not acquire hidden service, hardware or host authority. Treat startup/teardown and rootd parity dimensions as caller/consumer contracts where this crate owns no process, with a separate evidence-backed applicability decision per row.
Authority, security and reliability
Maintain a finding register with public finding references, exact revisions, invariants, reproduction, owners, regression tests and closure evidence. Publish only non-sensitive status here; suspected vulnerabilities follow SECURITY.md. Each dimension below needs its own result and rationale; an absent daemon or current Rust target is not a blanket exemption.
Acceptance criteria
missing_docsenforcement without blanket allowances or hidden-API escapes, warning-denied private-item rustdoc and an undocumented-public-API negative gate.cargo fmt --all -- --check, strict Clippy, unit/doctests and warning-denied builds/rustdoc for every owned crate/target under default and all valid feature, freestanding/host, SMP and profile combinations; test mutually exclusive combinations separately. Add focused VM regressions for runtime behavior and observe the older catalog and unit tests at the exact published heads.Alternatives and tradeoffs
Use cohesive local refactoring or a justified shared extraction only after identifying real common semantics and authority boundaries. Remove superseded paths after preserving maintained coverage. Profile before optimization; document unavoidable ABI/hardware limits and explicit quotas rather than weakening security for speed.
Process-bound installation checkpoint — 15 September 2026: Signed
dad8efbc5c73e2fa5999a417cd3a70cda26e4100aligns the original shared IPC/capability dependencies for process-bound native consumers. Existing helper code and authority ceilings remain unchanged relative to its preceding feature checkpoint. Default/all-feature development/release tests, strict host and freestanding Clippy, native builds, private rustdoc, formatting and Markdown pass. The observed push CI run is successful; complete log classification and a review-triggered run remain required. No new realm behavior or guest build is claimed.Process-bound native acceptance — 15 September 2026: The signed helper checkpoint now passes both push and review CIs with complete warning-free logs. Procd consumes the coherent original dependency graph and passes its full host/native matrix. Component acceptance does not close complete realm or guest-build work. Review: #2.
Staged mediator source checkpoint — 15 September 2026: Signed Loaderd
adefd028c47d0e60bde65ef2ff2d95c8bfae11b6, Launchd64b563482c9ecab115283fe56c8562d948fbbabdand Procdcdb0fe4d1496073521626ce21f0fa2c95a81bd36implement separate exact-executable mediator staging. Operation 0x654 is correlated end-to-end; Procd retains the actual endpoint master and moves only the actual install grant. The mediator class cannot use ordinary start, immediate commit, TTY provisioning, powerbox installation or automatic restart. Exact-stage rollback and lost-reply custody remain owned. Shared IPC5fa5fdb2edbfe963efae1c11f99a3a58d0062509and capability ABIe5a3e864491479981b9ab37749109dafe52fa330plus six original helper commits form the coherent dependency graph. Default/all development and release matrices pass: IPC 371 plus shim 20 (one existing native-only host ignore), capability ABI 191, Loaderd 90, Launchd 326 and Procd 233/238 tests. Strict host/native Clippy, warning-denied freestanding builds, private rustdoc, formatting and Markdown checks pass. Procd has forty native binary builds and six new mediator refusal/cleanup regressions. Loaderd exercises both staging classes through the existing complete-graph producer test. The TTY transaction, its test support and lifecycle policy tests are split into files below 1,000 lines. All six aligned helper libraries pass their full matrices. Current shared IPC CI 341/342 and capability ABI 218/219 pass with all eight complete warning-free logs. Older full Integration 1615/1616 now passes all 486 scenarios and subsequent native probes with six complete classified logs; its three deliberate negative diagnostics per integration job are retained. New producer/helper review CI is pending. No Posixd executable or coordinated realm VM acceptance is claimed. Actual grant-return provisioning, authenticated caller ownership, typed startup memory/inventory, readiness, configuration/seal, client I/O, fair retirement, complete consumer image adoption and both full guest build generations remain open. The manual update is being validated separately.Corrected native staging checkpoint — 15 September 2026: Signed source
2abce4be1df84ce7d5eb1c112cb5ac0fa038e471is recorded in the current review. Align the original signed dependency graph for staged mediator producers while preserving helper behavior and authority ceilings. 78 tests pass in the full default/all development/release matrix, with strict host/native Clippy, native builds, private rustdoc and formatting. Matching push/review CI passes with complete warning-free logs. Actual grant-return provisioning, authenticated receiver readiness, configuration/seal, client I/O, fair retirement, whole-codebase authority/documentation closure and both complete guest build generations remain required. No runnable Posixd realm or guest-build acceptance is claimed.Native terminal generation checkpoint — 17 September 2026: Signed revision

Runnable mediator bootstrap, fair retirement and both complete builds inside EriX remain separate open acceptance requirements.Caller-bound realm admission and retained storage contract — 18 September 2026
Use distinct Launchd operations BEGIN_REALM 0x6D0, PREPARE_REALM 0x6D1,
ABORT_REALM 0x6D2 and READ_REALM 0x6D3. The existing 0x6B0–0x6BF range belongs
to filesystem providers and is not reused. Little-endian bodies are exact, with
nonzero request correlation and no fallback to ordinary launch transactions.
BEGIN_REALM is an authority-free 8-byte request (request ID, operation). Derive
session, authority realm, original process/generation and Running job from the
actual native pending caller. Reserve an independently budgeted realm record,
a nonwrapping generation and one disjoint executable-scope receipt slot before
replying. Client numeric identities or a bearer sender cannot select ownership.
PREPARE_REALM has a 32-byte prefix: request ID and operation (u32), realm record
ID and generation (u64 each), and selector byte length (u64), followed by exactly
that nonempty UTF-8 selector without NUL. Parsing adds no pathname or packet-size
ceiling. The request carries exactly one actual SEND-only directory endpoint to
the reserved receipt slot. Verify the original caller/job/session/authority realm
again and retire every unretained received capability on refusal. Resolve only
inside this explicit directory, authenticate the exact executable and manifest,
and call Loaderd's existing private PREPARE_REALM. Never imply a Posixd pathname,
Named route, root, cwd, TTY stream, ordinary job or public PreparedProcess input.
ABORT_REALM and READ_REALM are authority-free 24-byte requests: request ID,
operation and complete realm-record ID/generation. They require the same original
Running native owner. READ observes retained state only; ABORT must complete
independent source, invocation and exact-child retirement before its successful
acknowledgment. Parent terminality initiates the same retained cleanup internally.
All four operations have an exact 40-byte capability-free response: request ID,
operation, raw result and state (u32 each), record ID and generation (u64 each),
receipt slot and zero reserved word (u32 each). States are Unconfirmed=0,
Reserved=1, Preparing=2, Guarded=3, Retiring=4 and Retired=5. Success at BEGIN
requires Reserved, a nonzero complete handle and receipt slot. PREPARE success
requires Guarded; ABORT success requires Retired. READ returns an authenticated
nonzero state. Only successful BEGIN returns a receipt slot; every other result
has zero there. Failure always has Unconfirmed state; failed BEGIN has a zero
handle while other failures echo the original complete request handle. Unknown
nonzero result codes remain full-width. Unconfirmed proves no resource absence.
Correlate the complete response with the original request before using evidence.
Replace obsolete LCH1 v2 with exact 72-byte version3 startup policy. Preserve the
first 68-byte field order and append realm_capacity (u32 at offset68). Require an
explicit deployment value: zero disables new realm reservations, and nonzero
values allocate that many retained records and disjoint receipt slots. Validate
checked job-route + stream-route + realm-receipt arithmetic before leaving any
ordinary transaction receipt storage. No default or incidental fixed array sets
realm count. Coordinate shared startup codecs, Rootd payloads, Launchd arena and
Integration policy/packaging; old version/width must reject. Extend the native
capacity descriptor with the realm record's size/alignment and a new layout
version; do not assume ordinary reply records survive long enough for realms.
Keep original child, local scope/grant obligations and native invocation owners
independent. Actual scheduler progress must exclude ordinary and indirect blocking
peer calls while any native invocation needs progress. A permanently discharged
source slot is never revisited after reuse. Native release precedes ordinary
exact-child abort; preserve first errors and exhaust independent cleanup without
returning uncertain state to normal operation. Guarded staging remains private
and unstarted, without exported SEND or a Running job. This initial admission
interface does not define configuration, readiness, sealing or publication.
Coordinated host negatives, strict source-bound build matrices and real consumer
VM execution are required. Two mediator processes, two clients per realm with
actual mediated I/O, complete fair progress, source/effect/frame admission and
both full builds inside EriX remain separate open acceptance requirements.

6799ecf6cacabaa3d6adc3807ac43224e07d08f1is pushed. Exact 72-byte LCH1 version 3 replaces the obsolete version-2 codec. Explicit realm capacity includes zero to disable reservations. Checked job/stream/realm slot arithmetic preserves ordinary intake. Two new malformed/overflow controls and all four strict 80-test configurations pass. Coordinated Rootd and Integration adoption remains required before image acceptance. Formatting and Markdown checks pass. Original CI 153 and CI 154 passes; all four terminal logs are complete (66,024 bytes), without warnings. Actual admission dispatch, coordinated consumer VMs, runnable mediators and both full builds inside EriX remain separate open acceptance requirements.Tracking and rollout

Signed
03fe59dca975b6caca0643304b7f71f9ae989bdealigns the existing dependency pins with the original signed library graph. This checkpoint changes Cargo selections and the roadmap; the repository's Rust implementation files are unchanged. The default/all-feature development/release matrix passes 78 tests in each feature/profile configuration, formatting, strict host/native Clippy, 4 native builds and private rustdoc, without warnings. Canonical documentation checks pass. Push/review CI 137/138 passes with complete classified logs and no warnings. Coherent product catalog adoption and product VM acceptance remain pending. Review: #2.Validated mediator constructor adoption — 15 September 2026
Procd selects checked native operation 54 only for mediator staging, without a parent VSpace receipt. The native TCB retains backing; the child initially holds only its primary endpoint. Other roles retain ordinary construction and its existing receipt/drop sequence. A refusal never falls back to operation 32. Scratch absence cleanup, exact stage retirement, private endpoint-master custody, grant-only handoff and all ordinary mediator start gates remain in place.
Signed original revision
f4239deee4ac9ba96aaa49891d686275782e63d9. All 78 tests and the full strict default/all development/release host/native matrix pass. Exact push/review CI has complete warning-free logs. The existing shared graph follows signed IPC 7c771205 and applicable capability ABI 2d6b1283 through original Git objects; no dependency or helper authority is added. Repeated roadmap notes are consolidated.The previously accepted Kernel 6d2ca19c native fixture establishes the constructor object, root-absence and backing contract. This checkpoint adds producer transport controls; it does not claim a new Procd CPL3 VM, runtime-image adoption or runnable realm. Integration source and native VM inputs are unchanged.

8b30523f3d7e1c300f39e3418a8748dae10ec04f; all 45 tests, final warning-free rendering and CI 877/878 pass.Runtime-image adoption, authenticated grant return, guarded bootstrap routes, private execution, receiver readiness, configuration/seal, client I/O, fair retirement and both full guest build generations remain open. Whole-codebase semantic authority and private-item documentation audits remain incomplete.

Original dependency pins now select the shared explicit grant-rights contract without mixed wire/capability revisions. The local API and authority policy are unchanged. Four host test matrices pass 80 tests each, alongside four native builds, strict host/native Clippy, formatting, private rustdoc and policy checks. Validation has no warnings. Original CI 155/156 passes with four complete hashed logs (66,000 bytes), zero warnings.
Coordinated actual consumers and matching native execution remain open under Kernel design 19. This dependency/wire checkpoint does not establish complete lifecycle acceptance or either full EriX build generation. Phase completion retains native external Rust/LLVM/runtime rebuilding as an independent requirement.
Acknowledged terminal consumer dependencies — 21 September 2026: signed commit 8110627a67238183b65873dc9d25b4bf51fdd8a7 aligns original shared revisions for repeatable terminal observation and exact acknowledgement under Kernel design 20. No local API or capability policy changes. Four strict 80-unit host configurations, four native builds, host/native Clippy, private rustdoc, formatting and dependency checks pass without warnings. Original CI 157, 158 passes; four complete logs total 66,030 bytes with verified hashes and zero warning candidates. Actual service consumer and coherent full VM adoption remain open in phase completion.
