Owner

Problem and motivation

This issue tracks continuous Phase 6 audit closure for lib-driver. Define common driver startup and protocol helpers without hiding hardware authority acquisition.

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

Record origin, recipient, object, operations, delegation ceiling, lifetime and aliases for each relevant capability or caller-supplied authority-bearing value.
Audit ambient discovery/selectors, cwd/PATH/environment, numeric identities, inherited routes and host fallbacks; require explicit authorized intake.
Account for residual authority after success, error, cancellation, timeout, restart, failed transfer and teardown, including fork/exec where implemented.
Remove unnecessary endpoints, broad rights, duplicate aliases, provider/admin grants and debug routes.
Exercise stale generations, replay, pending replies, forged descriptive identity and object/path resolution races at the owned boundary.
Prove independent cleanup attempts and caller-specific error precedence; quarantine or terminate when retained authority cannot be accounted for.
Review unsafe/FFI/parser/arithmetic/lifetime/lock/publication invariants and add adversarial coverage where practical.
Inventory obsolete APIs, wrappers, fallback/dead paths and duplicate validators with their maintained callers.
Migrate callers and delete deprecated contracts/shims in a coherent signed revision graph; reject retired input versions where relevant.
Classify each size/count/depth/time bound as ABI, hardware, explicit resource policy or accidental limitation.
Test beyond removed boundaries and at allocation/ABI limits while preserving exhaustion errors, denial-of-service controls and bounded waits.
Keep every tracked authored code/test/script/workflow file below 1000 physical lines through thematic refactoring.
Run the deterministic tracked-source size gate, covering executable fixtures/generators and excluding only genuine non-code data or external payloads.
Audit production/test feature and symbol separation, including this repository's effect on rootd test orchestration.
Supply changes affecting rootd semantic surface to the maintained same-toolchain baseline; record a justified component-specific applicability result.
Check bootstrap ownership and development/release authority parity at this repository's producer/consumer boundary.
Use maintained integration#3 profiler evidence before optimizing; preserve live access checks, ownership and success criteria.
Audit build/CI inputs, secret handling, private outputs, symlink containment, deletion, subprocess bounds, warnings and host dependencies.
meaningful public/private inline documentation, crate/target missing_docs enforcement without blanket allowances or hidden-API escapes, warning-denied private-item rustdoc and an undocumented-public-API negative gate.
Validation: Run 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.
Documentation: update applicable README/ARCHITECTURE/ROADMAP in meta's canonical format and affected technical-manual TeX/API references; keep README evergreen and shared governance byte-identical to meta.
Evidence: record exact source/dependency revisions, commands, configurations, real exit status, CI run URLs and results; repeat the audit on final heads and obtain independent review of security closures. No skipped/pending/predecessor result counts as a pass.

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.

Coherent realm image library prerequisite — 18 September 2026: Signed c372786719f83158e46807a6b3688ec127019a2f selects the original shared caller-bound wire/startup dependency graph. Four strict default/all-feature development/release configurations pass 2 unit tests each, host/native Clippy, four freestanding builds, formatting, private-item rustdoc and Markdown with zero warnings. Direct Rust implementation bytes and authority behavior are unchanged. Original CI is under observation. Downstream manifest/catalog adoption and actual consumer VM acceptance remain required; this is not full guest-build evidence.

Original coherent realm source CI acceptance — 18 September 2026: Signed c372786719f83158e46807a6b3688ec127019a2f passes CI 28 and CI 27. All four terminal logs are complete (39,610 bytes), with zero final warnings. This closes the original CI observation recorded above. Coherent catalog publication, actual consumer VMs and full guest-build acceptance remain separate open requirements.

Tracking and rollout

Coordinated library dependency update — 15 September 2026

Signed 729c1b92163b2c21a810c4e738b24742e259c165 aligns existing dependency pins with the original foundation commits for coherent runtime adoption. This update changes Cargo selections and the roadmap; Rust implementation files in this repository are unchanged. All default/all-feature development/release configurations pass 2 tests each, strict host/native Clippy, formatting, four native builds and private rustdoc without warnings. Final canonical documentation checks pass. Push/review CI 25/26 passes with complete classified logs and no final warnings. The product catalog remains unchanged; this update does not establish a new runtime VM, authority-lifecycle closure, performance result or guest build. Review: #2.

Parent work: erix/integration#2 and erix/docs#1.
Branch: feature/posix-compat; update linked WIP PRs after coherent signed checkpoints using canonical CONTRIBUTING.md messages.
Baseline revision: 10340fff7875c43ea628e1df818abe814850b777; refresh component/dependency heads and their own CI evidence as implementation advances.
Cross-repository dependencies remain full lowercase commit hashes; update the selected graph deliberately. This issue does not authorize merges, release tags or replacement of published images.

Explicit install-grant library checkpoint — 19 September 2026: signed/pushed commit 7e509af3227ddfc7fbf299459e2c21cf36d8ed0b. 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 2 tests each, alongside four native builds, strict host/native Clippy, formatting, private rustdoc and policy checks. Validation has no warnings. Original CI 29/30 passes with four complete hashed logs (39,610 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 d509b04b346bc6f9a45e91a87bc663ed00a93ee6 aligns original shared revisions for repeatable terminal observation and exact acknowledgement under Kernel design 20. No local API or capability policy changes. Four strict 2-unit host configurations, four native builds, host/native Clippy, private rustdoc, formatting and dependency checks pass without warnings. Original CI 31, 32 passes; four complete logs total 39,640 bytes with verified hashes and zero warning candidates. Actual service consumer and coherent full VM adoption remain open in phase completion.
