-# Architecture
-
-StartOS is an open-source Linux distribution for running personal servers. It manages discovery, installation, network configuration, backups, and health monitoring of self-hosted services.
-
-## Tech Stack
-
-- Backend: Rust (async/Tokio, Axum web framework)
-- Frontend: Angular 20 + TypeScript + TaigaUI
-- Container runtime: Node.js/TypeScript with LXC
-- Database/State: Patch-DB (git submodule) - storage layer with reactive frontend sync
-- API: JSON-RPC via rpc-toolkit (see `core/rpc-toolkit.md`)
-- Auth: Password + session cookie, public/private key signatures, local authcookie (see `core/src/middleware/auth/`)

-
-## Components
-
-- **`core/`** — Rust backend daemon. Produces a single binary `startbox` that is symlinked as `startd` (main daemon), `start-cli` (CLI), `start-container` (runs inside LXC containers), `registrybox` (package registry), and `tunnelbox` (VPN/tunnel). Handles all backend logic: RPC API, service lifecycle, networking (DNS, ACME, WiFi, Tor, WireGuard), backups, and database state management. See [core/ARCHITECTURE.md](core/ARCHITECTURE.md).
-
-- **`web/`** — Angular 20 + TypeScript workspace using Taiga UI. Contains three applications (admin UI, setup wizard, VPN management) and two shared libraries (common components/services, marketplace). Communicates with the backend exclusively via JSON-RPC. See [web/ARCHITECTURE.md](web/ARCHITECTURE.md).
-
-- **`container-runtime/`** — Node.js runtime that runs inside each service's LXC container. Loads the service's JavaScript from its S9PK package and manages subcontainers. Communicates with the host daemon via JSON-RPC over Unix socket. See [container-runtime/CLAUDE.md](container-runtime/CLAUDE.md).
-
-- **`sdk/`** — TypeScript SDK for packaging services for StartOS (`@start9labs/start-sdk`). Split into `base/` (core types, ABI definitions, effects interface, consumed by web as `@start9labs/start-sdk-base`) and `package/` (full SDK for service developers, consumed by container-runtime as `@start9labs/start-sdk`).
-
-- **`patch-db/`** — Git submodule providing diff-based state synchronization. Uses CBOR encoding. Backend mutations produce diffs that are pushed to the frontend via WebSocket, enabling reactive UI updates without polling. See [patch-db repo](https://github.com/Start9Labs/patch-db).
-
-## Build Pipeline
-
-Components have a strict dependency chain. Changes flow in one direction:
-
-```
-Rust (core/)
-  → cargo test exports ts-rs types to core/bindings/
-    → rsync copies to sdk/base/lib/osBindings/
-      → SDK build produces baseDist/ and dist/
-        → web/ consumes baseDist/ (via @start9labs/start-sdk-base)
-        → container-runtime/ consumes dist/ (via @start9labs/start-sdk)
-```
-
-Key make targets along this chain:
-
-| Step | Command | What it does |
-|---|---|---|
-| 1 | `cargo check -p start-os` | Verify Rust compiles |
-| 2 | `make ts-bindings` | Export ts-rs types → rsync to SDK |
-| 3 | `cd sdk && make baseDist dist` | Build SDK packages |
-| 4 | `cd web && npm run check` | Type-check Angular projects |
-| 5 | `cd container-runtime && npm run check` | Type-check runtime |
-
-**Important**: Editing `sdk/base/lib/osBindings/*.ts` alone is NOT sufficient — you must rebuild the SDK bundle (step 3) before web/container-runtime can see the changes.
-
-## Cross-Layer Verification
-
-When making changes across multiple layers (Rust, SDK, web, container-runtime), verify in this order:
-
-1. **Rust**: `cargo check -p start-os` — verifies core compiles
-2. **TS bindings**: `make ts-bindings` — regenerates TypeScript types from Rust `#[ts(export)]` structs
-   - Runs `./core/build/build-ts.sh` to export ts-rs types to `core/bindings/`
-   - Syncs `core/bindings/` → `sdk/base/lib/osBindings/` via rsync
-   - If you manually edit files in `sdk/base/lib/osBindings/`, you must still rebuild the SDK (step 3)
-3. **SDK bundle**: `cd sdk && make baseDist dist` — compiles SDK source into packages
-   - `baseDist/` is consumed by `/web` (via `@start9labs/start-sdk-base`)
-   - `dist/` is consumed by `/container-runtime` (via `@start9labs/start-sdk`)
-   - Web and container-runtime reference the **built** SDK, not source files
-4. **Web type check**: `cd web && npm run check` — type-checks all Angular projects
-5. **Container runtime type check**: `cd container-runtime && npm run check` — type-checks the runtime
-
-## Data Flow: Backend to Frontend
-
-StartOS uses Patch-DB for reactive state synchronization:
-
-1. The backend mutates state via `db.mutate()`, producing CBOR diffs
-2. Diffs are pushed to the frontend over a persistent WebSocket connection
-3. The frontend applies diffs to its local state copy and notifies observers
-4. Components watch specific database paths via `PatchDB.watch$()`, receiving updates reactively
-
-This means the UI is always eventually consistent with the backend — after any mutating API call, the frontend waits for the corresponding PatchDB diff before resolving, so the UI reflects the result immediately.

-# CLAUDE.md
-
-This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
-
-## Architecture
-
-See [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md) for the full system architecture, component map, build pipeline, and cross-layer verification order.
-
-Each major component has its own `CLAUDE.md` with detailed guidance: `core/`, `web/`, `container-runtime/`, `sdk/`.
-
-## Build & Development
-
-See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for:
-- Environment setup and requirements
-- Build commands and make targets
-- Testing and formatting commands
-- Environment variables
-
-**Quick reference:**
-```bash
-. ./devmode.sh                            # Enable dev mode
-make update-startbox REMOTE=start9@<ip>   # Fastest iteration (binary + UI)
-make test-core                            # Run Rust tests
-```
-
-## Operating Rules
-
-- Always verify cross-layer changes using the order described in [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md#cross-layer-verification)
-- Check component-level CLAUDE.md files for component-specific conventions. ALWAYS read it before operating on that component.
-- Follow existing patterns before inventing new ones
-
-## Supplementary Documentation
-
-The `docs/` directory contains cross-cutting documentation for AI assistants:
-
-- `TODO.md` - Pending tasks for AI agents (check this first, remove items when completed)
-- `USER.md` - Current user identifier (gitignored, see below)
-- `exver.md` - Extended versioning format (used across core, sdk, and web)
-- `VERSION_BUMP.md` - Guide for bumping the StartOS version across the codebase
-
-Component-specific docs live alongside their code (e.g., `core/rpc-toolkit.md`, `core/i18n-patterns.md`).
-
-### Session Startup
-
-On startup:
-
-1. **Check for `docs/USER.md`** - If it doesn't exist, prompt the user for their name/identifier and create it. This file is gitignored since it varies per developer.
-
-2. **Check `docs/TODO.md` for relevant tasks** - Show TODOs that either:
-   - Have no `@username` tag (relevant to everyone)
-   - Are tagged with the current user's identifier
-
-   Skip TODOs tagged with a different user.
-
-3. **Ask "What would you like to do today?"** - Offer options for each relevant TODO item, plus "Something else" for other requests.

+- `PLATFORM`: which platform you would like to build for. Must be one of `x86_64`, `x86_64-nonfree`, `aarch64`, `aarch64-nonfree`, `raspberrypi`
+  - NOTE: `nonfree` images are for including `nonfree` firmware packages in the built ISO
+- `ENVIRONMENT`: a hyphen separated set of feature flags to enable
+  - `dev`: enables password ssh (INSECURE!) and does not compress frontends
+  - `unstable`: enables assertions that will cause errors on unexpected inconsistencies that are undesirable in production use either for performance or reliability reasons
+  - `docker`: use `docker` instead of `podman`
+- `GIT_BRANCH_AS_HASH`: set to `1` to use the current git branch name as the git hash so that the project does not need to be rebuilt on each commit
 
-**ENVIRONMENT flags:**
+### Useful Make Targets
 
-- `dev` - Enables password SSH before setup, skips frontend compression
-- `unstable` - Enables assertions and debugging with performance penalty
-- `console` - Enables tokio-console for async debugging
-
-**Platform notes:**
-
-- `-nonfree` variants include proprietary firmware and drivers
-- `raspberrypi` includes non-free components by necessity
-- Platform is remembered between builds if not specified

-```
-
-Follow the screenshot walkthrough in [`assets/create-vm/`](assets/create-vm/) to create a new virtual machine. Key steps:
-
-1. Create a new virtual machine
-2. Browse for the ISO — create a storage pool pointing to your `results/` directory
-3. Select "Generic or unknown OS"
-4. Set memory and CPUs
-5. Create a disk and name the VM

-## Testing
-
-```bash
-make test                    # All tests
-make test-core               # Rust tests (via ./core/run-tests.sh)
-make test-sdk                # SDK tests
-make test-container-runtime  # Container runtime tests
-
-# Run specific Rust test
-cd core && cargo test <test_name> --features=test
-```
-
-## Code Formatting
-
-```bash
-# Rust (requires nightly)
-make format
-
-# TypeScript/HTML/SCSS (web)
-cd web && npm run format
-```
-
-## Code Style Guidelines
-
-### Formatting
-
-Run the formatters before committing. Configuration is handled by `rustfmt.toml` (Rust) and prettier configs (TypeScript).
-
-### Documentation & Comments
-
-**Rust:**
-
-- Add doc comments (`///`) to public APIs, structs, and non-obvious functions
-- Use `//` comments sparingly for complex logic that isn't self-evident
-- Prefer self-documenting code (clear naming, small functions) over comments
-
-**TypeScript:**
-
-- Document exported functions and complex types with JSDoc
-- Keep comments focused on "why" rather than "what"
-
-**General:**
-
-- Don't add comments that just restate the code
-- Update or remove comments when code changes
-- TODOs should include context: `// TODO(username): reason`
-
-### Commit Messages
-
-Use [Conventional Commits](https://www.conventionalcommits.org/):
-
-```
-<type>(<scope>): <description>
-
-[optional body]
-
-[optional footer]
-```
-
-**Types:**
-
-- `feat` - New feature
-- `fix` - Bug fix
-- `docs` - Documentation only
-- `style` - Formatting, no code change
-- `refactor` - Code change that neither fixes a bug nor adds a feature
-- `test` - Adding or updating tests
-- `chore` - Build process, dependencies, etc.
-
-**Examples:**
-
-```
-feat(web): add dark mode toggle
-fix(core): resolve race condition in service startup
-docs: update CONTRIBUTING.md with style guidelines
-refactor(sdk): simplify package validation logic

+# Setting up your development environment on Debian/Ubuntu
+
+A step-by-step guide
+
+> This is the only officially supported build environment.
+> MacOS has limited build capabilities and Windows requires [WSL2](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install)
+
+## Installing dependencies
+
+Run the following commands one at a time
+
+```sh
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install -y ca-certificates curl gpg build-essential
+curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg
+echo "deb [arch=$(dpkg-architecture -q DEB_HOST_ARCH) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian bookworm stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install -y sed grep gawk jq gzip brotli containerd.io docker-ce docker-ce-cli docker-compose-plugin qemu-user-static binfmt-support squashfs-tools git debspawn rsync b3sum
+sudo mkdir -p /etc/debspawn/
+echo "AllowUnsafePermissions=true" | sudo tee /etc/debspawn/global.toml
+sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
+sudo su $USER
+docker run --privileged --rm tonistiigi/binfmt --install all
+docker buildx create --use
+curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh # proceed with default installation
+curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/master/install.sh | bash
+source ~/.bashrc
+nvm install 24
+nvm use 24
+nvm alias default 24 # this prevents your machine from reverting back to another version
+```
+
+## Cloning the repository
+
+```sh
+git clone --recursive https://github.com/Start9Labs/start-os.git --branch next/major
+cd start-os
+```
+
+## Building an ISO
+
+```sh
+PLATFORM=$(uname -m) ENVIRONMENT=dev make iso
+```
+
+This will build an ISO for your current architecture. If you are building to run on an architecture other than the one you are currently on, replace `$(uname -m)` with the correct platform for the device (one of `aarch64`, `aarch64-nonfree`, `x86_64`, `x86_64-nonfree`, `raspberrypi`)
+
+## Creating a VM
+
+### Install virt-manager
+
+```sh
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install -y virt-manager
+sudo usermod -aG libvirt $USER
+sudo su $USER
+```
+
+### Launch virt-manager
+
+```sh
+virt-manager
+```
+
+### Create new virtual machine
+
+![Select "Create a new virtual machine"](assets/create-vm/step-1.png)

+![Name VM](assets/create-vm/step-11.png)
+![Create network](assets/create-vm/step-12.png)
+
+## Updating a VM
+
+The fastest way to update a VM to your latest code depends on what you changed:
+
+### UI or startd:
+
+```sh
+PLATFORM=$(uname -m) ENVIRONMENT=dev make update-startbox REMOTE=start9@<VM IP>
+```
+
+### Container runtime or debian dependencies:
+
+```sh
+PLATFORM=$(uname -m) ENVIRONMENT=dev make update-deb REMOTE=start9@<VM IP>
+```
+
+### Image recipe:
+
+```sh
+PLATFORM=$(uname -m) ENVIRONMENT=dev make update-squashfs REMOTE=start9@<VM IP>
+```
+
+---
+
+If the device you are building for is not available via ssh, it is also possible to use `magic-wormhole` to send the relevant files.
+
+### Prerequisites:
+
+```sh
+sudo apt update
+sudo apt install -y magic-wormhole
+```
+
+As before, the fastest way to update a VM to your latest code depends on what you changed. Each of the following commands will return a command to paste into the shell of the device you would like to upgrade.
+
+### UI or startd:
+
+```sh
+PLATFORM=$(uname -m) ENVIRONMENT=dev make wormhole
+```
+
+### Container runtime or debian dependencies:
+
+```sh
+PLATFORM=$(uname -m) ENVIRONMENT=dev make wormhole-deb
+```
+
+### Image recipe:
+
+```sh
+PLATFORM=$(uname -m) ENVIRONMENT=dev make wormhole-squashfs
+```

-## What is StartOS?
+## Running StartOS
+> [!WARNING]
+> StartOS is in beta. It lacks features. It doesn't always work perfectly. Start9 servers are not plug and play. Using them properly requires some effort and patience. Please do not use StartOS or purchase a server if you are unable or unwilling to follow instructions and learn new concepts.
 
-StartOS is an open-source Linux distribution for running a personal server. It handles discovery, installation, network configuration, data backup, dependency management, and health monitoring of self-hosted services.
+### 💰 Buy a Start9 server
+This is the most convenient option. Simply [buy a server](https://store.start9.com) from Start9 and plug it in.
 
-**Tech stack:** Rust backend (Tokio/Axum), Angular frontend, Node.js container runtime with LXC, and a custom diff-based database ([Patch-DB](https://github.com/Start9Labs/patch-db)) for reactive state synchronization.
+### 👷 Build your own server
+This option is easier than you might imagine, and there are 4 reasons why you might prefer it:
+1. You already have hardware
+1. You want to save on shipping costs
+1. You prefer not to divulge your physical address
+1. You just like building things
 
-Services run in isolated LXC containers, packaged as [S9PKs](https://github.com/Start9Labs/start-os/blob/master/core/s9pk-structure.md) — a signed, merkle-archived format that supports partial downloads and cryptographic verification.
+To pursue this option, follow one of our [DIY guides](https://start9.com/latest/diy).

+# StartTunnel
+
+A self-hosted WireGuard VPN optimized for creating VLANs and reverse tunneling to personal servers.
+
+You can think of StartTunnel as "virtual router in the cloud".
+
+Use it for private remote access to self-hosted services running on a personal server, or to expose self-hosted services to the public Internet without revealing the host server's IP address.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Create Subnets**: Each subnet creates a private, virtual local area network (VLAN), similar to the LAN created by a home router.
+
+- **Add Devices**: When you add a device (server, phone, laptop) to a subnet, it receives a LAN IP address on that subnet as well as a unique WireGuard config that must be copied, downloaded, or scanned into the device.
+
+- **Forward Ports**: Forwarding a port creates a "reverse tunnel", exposing a specific port on a specific device to the public Internet.
+
+## Installation
+
+1.  Rent a low cost VPS. For most use cases, the cheapest option should be enough.
+
+    - It must have a dedicated public IP address.
+    - For compute (CPU), memory (RAM), and storage (disk), choose the minimum spec.
+    - For transfer (bandwidth), it depends on (1) your use case and (2) your home Internet's _upload_ speed. Even if you intend to serve large files or stream content from your server, there is no reason to pay for speeds that exceed your home Internet's upload speed.
+
+1.  Provision the VPS with the latest version of Debian.
+
+1.  Access the VPS via SSH.
+
+1.  Run the StartTunnel install script:
+
+        curl -fsSL https://start9labs.github.io/start-tunnel | sh
+
+1.  [Initialize the web interface](#web-interface) (recommended)
+
+## Updating
+
+Simply re-run the install command:
+
+```sh
+curl -fsSL https://start9labs.github.io/start-tunnel | sh
+```
+
+## CLI
+
+By default, StartTunnel is managed via the `start-tunnel` command line interface, which is self-documented.
+
+```
+start-tunnel --help
+```
+
+## Web Interface
+
+Enable the web interface (recommended in most cases) to access your StartTunnel from the browser or via API.
+
+1.  Initialize the web interface.
+
+        start-tunnel web init
+
+1.  If your VPS has multiple public IP addresses, you will be prompted to select the IP address at which to host the web interface.
+
+1.  When prompted, enter the port at which to host the web interface. The default is 8443, and we recommend using it. If you change the default, choose an uncommon port to avoid future conflicts.
+
+1.  To access your StartTunnel web interface securely over HTTPS, you need an SSL certificate. When prompted, select whether to autogenerate a certificate or provide your own. _This is only for accessing your StartTunnel web interface_.
+
+1.  You will receive a success message with 3 pieces of information:
+
+    - **<https://IP:port>**: the URL where you can reach your personal web interface.
+    - **Password**: an autogenerated password for your interface. If you lose/forget it, you can reset it using the start-tunnel CLI.
+    - **Root Certificate Authority**: the Root CA of your StartTunnel instance.
+
+1.  If you autogenerated your SSL certificate, visiting the `https://IP:port` URL in the browser will warn you that the website is insecure. This is expected. You have two options for getting past this warning:
+    - option 1 (recommended): [Trust your StartTunnel Root CA on your connecting device](#trusting-your-starttunnel-root-ca).
+    - Option 2: bypass the warning in the browser, creating a one-time security exception.
+
+### Trusting your StartTunnel Root CA
+
+1. Copy the contents of your Root CA (starting with -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and ending with -----END CERTIFICATE-----).
+
+2. Open a text editor:
+
+   - Linux: gedit, nano, or any editor
+   - Mac: TextEdit
+   - Windows: Notepad
+
+3. Paste the contents of your Root CA.
+
+4. Save the file with a `.crt` extension (e.g. `start-tunnel.crt`) (make sure it saves as plain text, not rich text).
+
+5. Trust the Root CA on your client device(s):
+
+   - [Linux](https://staging.docs.start9.com/device-guides/linux/ca.html)
+   - [Mac](https://staging.docs.start9.com/device-guides/mac/ca.html)

-# Core Architecture
-
-The Rust backend daemon for StartOS.
-
-## Binaries
-
-The crate produces a single binary `startbox` that is symlinked under different names for different behavior:
-
-- `startbox` / `startd` — Main daemon
-- `start-cli` — CLI interface
-- `start-container` — Runs inside LXC containers; communicates with host and manages subcontainers
-- `registrybox` — Registry daemon
-- `tunnelbox` — VPN/tunnel daemon
-
-## Crate Structure
-
-- `startos` — Core library that supports building `startbox`
-- `helpers` — Utility functions used across both `startos` and `js-engine`
-- `models` — Types shared across `startos`, `js-engine`, and `helpers`
-
-## Key Modules
-
-- `src/context/` — Context types (RpcContext, CliContext, InitContext, DiagnosticContext)
-- `src/service/` — Service lifecycle management with actor pattern (`service_actor.rs`)
-- `src/db/model/` — Patch-DB models (`public.rs` synced to frontend, `private.rs` backend-only)
-- `src/net/` — Networking (DNS, ACME, WiFi, Tor via Arti, WireGuard)
-- `src/s9pk/` — S9PK package format (merkle archive)
-- `src/registry/` — Package registry management
-
-## RPC Pattern
-
-The API is JSON-RPC (not REST). All endpoints are RPC methods organized in a hierarchical command structure using [rpc-toolkit](https://github.com/Start9Labs/rpc-toolkit). Handlers are registered in a tree of `ParentHandler` nodes, with four handler types: `from_fn_async` (standard), `from_fn_async_local` (non-Send), `from_fn` (sync), and `from_fn_blocking` (blocking). Metadata like `.with_about()` drives middleware and documentation.
-
-See [rpc-toolkit.md](rpc-toolkit.md) for full handler patterns and configuration.
-
-## Patch-DB Patterns
-
-Patch-DB provides diff-based state synchronization. Changes to `db/model/public.rs` automatically sync to the frontend.
-
-**Key patterns:**
-- `db.peek().await` — Get a read-only snapshot of the database state
-- `db.mutate(|db| { ... }).await` — Apply mutations atomically, returns `MutateResult`
-- `#[derive(HasModel)]` — Derive macro for types stored in the database, generates typed accessors
-
-**Generated accessor types** (from `HasModel` derive):
-- `as_field()` — Immutable reference: `&Model<T>`
-- `as_field_mut()` — Mutable reference: `&mut Model<T>`
-- `into_field()` — Owned value: `Model<T>`
-
-**`Model<T>` APIs** (from `db/prelude.rs`):
-- `.de()` — Deserialize to `T`
-- `.ser(&value)` — Serialize from `T`
-- `.mutate(|v| ...)` — Deserialize, mutate, reserialize
-- For maps: `.keys()`, `.as_idx(&key)`, `.as_idx_mut(&key)`, `.insert()`, `.remove()`, `.contains_key()`
-
-See [patchdb.md](patchdb.md) for `TypedDbWatch<T>` construction, API, and usage patterns.
-
-## i18n
-
-See [i18n-patterns.md](i18n-patterns.md) for internationalization key conventions and the `t!()` macro.
-
-## Rust Utilities & Patterns
-
-See [core-rust-patterns.md](core-rust-patterns.md) for common utilities (Invoke trait, Guard pattern, mount guards, Apply trait, etc.).

-# Core — Rust Backend
-
-The Rust backend daemon for StartOS.
-
-## Architecture
-
-See [ARCHITECTURE.md](ARCHITECTURE.md) for binaries, modules, Patch-DB patterns, and related documentation.
-
-See [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for how to add RPC endpoints, TS-exported types, and i18n keys.
-
-## Quick Reference
-
-```bash
-cargo check -p start-os                    # Type check
-make test-core                             # Run tests
-make ts-bindings                           # Regenerate TS types after changing #[ts(export)] structs
-cd sdk && make baseDist dist               # Rebuild SDK after ts-bindings
-```
-
-## Operating Rules
-
-- Always run `cargo check -p start-os` after modifying Rust code
-- When adding RPC endpoints, follow the patterns in [rpc-toolkit.md](rpc-toolkit.md)
-- When modifying `#[ts(export)]` types, regenerate bindings and rebuild the SDK (see [ARCHITECTURE.md](../ARCHITECTURE.md#build-pipeline))
-- When adding i18n keys, add all 5 locales in `core/locales/i18n.yaml` (see [i18n-patterns.md](i18n-patterns.md))
-- When using DB watches, follow the `TypedDbWatch<T>` patterns in [patchdb.md](patchdb.md)
-- **Always use `.invoke(ErrorKind::...)` instead of `.status()` when running CLI commands** via `tokio::process::Command`. The `Invoke` trait (from `crate::util::Invoke`) captures stdout/stderr and checks exit codes properly. Using `.status()` leaks stderr directly to system logs, creating noise. For check-then-act patterns (e.g. `iptables -C`), use `.invoke(...).await.is_ok()` / `.is_err()` instead of `.status().await.map_or(false, |s| s.success())`.

-## Prerequisites
-
-- [Rust](https://rustup.rs) (nightly for formatting)
-- [rust-analyzer](https://rust-analyzer.github.io/) recommended
-- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/) (for cross-compilation via `rust-zig-builder` container)
-
-## Common Commands
-
-```bash
-cargo check -p start-os                    # Type check
-cargo test --features=test                 # Run tests (or: make test-core)
-make format                                # Format with nightly rustfmt
-cd core && cargo test <test_name> --features=test  # Run a specific test
-```
-
-## Adding a New RPC Endpoint
-
-1. Define a params struct with `#[derive(Deserialize, Serialize)]`
-2. Choose a handler type (`from_fn_async` for most cases)
-3. Write the handler function: `async fn my_handler(ctx: RpcContext, params: MyParams) -> Result<MyResponse, Error>`
-4. Register it in the appropriate `ParentHandler` tree
-5. If params/response should be available in TypeScript, add `#[derive(TS)]` and `#[ts(export)]`
-
-See [rpc-toolkit.md](rpc-toolkit.md) for full handler patterns and all four handler types.
-
-## Adding TS-Exported Types
-
-When a Rust type needs to be available in TypeScript (for the web frontend or SDK):
-
-1. Add `ts_rs::TS` to the derive list and `#[ts(export)]` to the struct/enum
-2. Use `#[serde(rename_all = "camelCase")]` for JS-friendly field names
-3. For types that don't implement TS (like `DateTime<Utc>`, `exver::Version`), use `#[ts(type = "string")]` overrides
-4. For `u64` fields that should be JS `number` (not `bigint`), use `#[ts(type = "number")]`
-5. Run `make ts-bindings` to regenerate — files appear in `core/bindings/` then sync to `sdk/base/lib/osBindings/`
-6. Rebuild the SDK: `cd sdk && make baseDist dist`
-
-## Adding i18n Keys
-
-1. Add the key to `core/locales/i18n.yaml` with all 5 language translations
-2. Use the `t!("your.key.name")` macro in Rust code
-3. Follow existing namespace conventions — match the module path where the key is used
-4. Use kebab-case for multi-word segments
-5. Translations are validated at compile time
-
-See [i18n-patterns.md](i18n-patterns.md) for full conventions.

-# Utilities & Patterns
-
-This document covers common utilities and patterns used throughout the StartOS codebase.
-
-## Util Module (`core/src/util/`)
-
-The `util` module contains reusable utilities. Key submodules:
-
-| Module | Purpose |
-|--------|---------|
-| `actor/` | Actor pattern implementation for concurrent state management |
-| `collections/` | Custom collection types |
-| `crypto.rs` | Cryptographic utilities (encryption, hashing) |
-| `future.rs` | Future/async utilities |
-| `io.rs` | File I/O helpers (create_file, canonicalize, etc.) |
-| `iter.rs` | Iterator extensions |
-| `net.rs` | Network utilities |
-| `rpc.rs` | RPC helpers |
-| `rpc_client.rs` | RPC client utilities |
-| `serde.rs` | Serialization helpers (Base64, display/fromstr, etc.) |
-| `sync.rs` | Synchronization primitives (SyncMutex, etc.) |
-
-## Command Invocation (`Invoke` trait)
-
-The `Invoke` trait provides a clean way to run external commands with error handling:
-
-```rust
-use crate::util::Invoke;
-
-// Simple invocation
-tokio::process::Command::new("ls")
-    .arg("-la")
-    .invoke(ErrorKind::Filesystem)
-    .await?;
-
-// With timeout
-tokio::process::Command::new("slow-command")
-    .timeout(Some(Duration::from_secs(30)))
-    .invoke(ErrorKind::Timeout)
-    .await?;
-
-// With input
-let mut input = Cursor::new(b"input data");
-tokio::process::Command::new("cat")
-    .input(Some(&mut input))
-    .invoke(ErrorKind::Filesystem)
-    .await?;
-
-// Piped commands
-tokio::process::Command::new("cat")
-    .arg("file.txt")
-    .pipe(&mut tokio::process::Command::new("grep").arg("pattern"))
-    .invoke(ErrorKind::Filesystem)
-    .await?;
-```
-
-## Guard Pattern
-
-Guards ensure cleanup happens when they go out of scope.
-
-### `GeneralGuard` / `GeneralBoxedGuard`
-
-For arbitrary cleanup actions:
-
-```rust
-use crate::util::GeneralGuard;
-
-let guard = GeneralGuard::new(|| {
-    println!("Cleanup runs on drop");
-});
-
-// Do work...
-
-// Explicit drop with action
-guard.drop();
-
-// Or skip the action
-// guard.drop_without_action();
-```
-
-### `FileLock`
-
-File-based locking with automatic unlock:
-
-```rust
-use crate::util::FileLock;
-
-let lock = FileLock::new("/path/to/lockfile", true).await?;  // blocking=true
-// Lock held until dropped or explicitly unlocked
-lock.unlock().await?;
-```
-
-## Mount Guard Pattern (`core/src/disk/mount/guard.rs`)
-
-RAII guards for filesystem mounts. Ensures filesystems are unmounted when guards are dropped.
-
-### `MountGuard`
-
-Basic mount guard:
-
-```rust
-use crate::disk::mount::guard::MountGuard;
-use crate::disk::mount::filesystem::{MountType, ReadOnly};
-
-let guard = MountGuard::mount(&filesystem, "/mnt/target", ReadOnly).await?;
-
-// Use the mounted filesystem at guard.path()
-do_something(guard.path()).await?;
-
-// Explicit unmount (or auto-unmounts on drop)
-guard.unmount(false).await?;  // false = don't delete mountpoint
-```
-
-### `TmpMountGuard`
-
-Reference-counted temporary mount (mounts to `/media/startos/tmp/`):
-
-```rust
-use crate::disk::mount::guard::TmpMountGuard;
-use crate::disk::mount::filesystem::ReadOnly;
-
-// Multiple clones share the same mount
-let guard1 = TmpMountGuard::mount(&filesystem, ReadOnly).await?;
-let guard2 = guard1.clone();
-
-// Mount stays alive while any guard exists
-// Auto-unmounts when last guard is dropped
-```
-
-### `GenericMountGuard` trait
-
-All mount guards implement this trait:
-
-```rust
-pub trait GenericMountGuard: std::fmt::Debug + Send + Sync + 'static {
-    fn path(&self) -> &Path;
-    fn unmount(self) -> impl Future<Output = Result<(), Error>> + Send;
-}
-```
-
-### `SubPath`
-
-Wraps a mount guard to point to a subdirectory:
-
-```rust
-use crate::disk::mount::guard::SubPath;
-
-let mount = TmpMountGuard::mount(&filesystem, ReadOnly).await?;
-let subdir = SubPath::new(mount, "data/subdir");
-
-// subdir.path() returns the full path including subdirectory
-```
-
-## FileSystem Implementations (`core/src/disk/mount/filesystem/`)
-
-Various filesystem types that can be mounted:
-
-| Type | Description |
-|------|-------------|
-| `bind.rs` | Bind mounts |
-| `block_dev.rs` | Block device mounts |
-| `cifs.rs` | CIFS/SMB network shares |
-| `ecryptfs.rs` | Encrypted filesystem |
-| `efivarfs.rs` | EFI variables |
-| `httpdirfs.rs` | HTTP directory as filesystem |
-| `idmapped.rs` | ID-mapped mounts |
-| `label.rs` | Mount by label |
-| `loop_dev.rs` | Loop device mounts |
-| `overlayfs.rs` | Overlay filesystem |
-
-## Other Useful Utilities
-
-### `Apply` / `ApplyRef` traits
-
-Fluent method chaining:
-
-```rust
-use crate::util::Apply;
-
-let result = some_value
-    .apply(|v| transform(v))
-    .apply(|v| another_transform(v));
-```
-
-### `Container<T>`
-
-Async-safe optional container:
-
-```rust
-use crate::util::Container;
-
-let container = Container::new(None);
-container.set(value).await;
-let taken = container.take().await;
-```
-
-### `HashWriter<H, W>`
-
-Write data while computing hash:
-
-```rust
-use crate::util::HashWriter;
-use sha2::Sha256;
-
-let writer = HashWriter::new(Sha256::new(), file);
-// Write data...
-let (hasher, file) = writer.finish();
-let hash = hasher.finalize();
-```
-
-### `Never` type
-
-Uninhabited type for impossible cases:
-
-```rust
-use crate::util::Never;
-
-fn impossible() -> Never {
-    // This function can never return
-}
-
-let never: Never = impossible();
-never.absurd::<String>()  // Can convert to any type
-```
-
-### `MaybeOwned<'a, T>`
-
-Either borrowed or owned data:
-
-```rust
-use crate::util::MaybeOwned;
-
-fn accept_either(data: MaybeOwned<'_, String>) {
-    // Use &*data to access the value
-}
-
-accept_either(MaybeOwned::from(&existing_string));
-accept_either(MaybeOwned::from(owned_string));
-```
-
-### `new_guid()`
-
-Generate a random GUID:
-
-```rust
-use crate::util::new_guid;
-
-let guid = new_guid();  // Returns InternedString
-```

-# i18n Patterns in `core/`
-
-## Library & Setup
-
-**Crate:** [`rust-i18n`](https://crates.io/crates/rust-i18n) v3.1.5 (`core/Cargo.toml`)
-
-**Initialization** (`core/src/lib.rs:3`):
-```rust
-rust_i18n::i18n!("locales", fallback = ["en_US"]);
-```
-This macro scans `core/locales/` at compile time and embeds all translations as constants.
-
-**Prelude re-export** (`core/src/prelude.rs:4`):
-```rust
-pub use rust_i18n::t;
-```
-Most modules import `t!` via the prelude.
-
-## Translation File
-
-**Location:** `core/locales/i18n.yaml`
-**Format:** YAML v2 (~755 keys)
-
-**Supported languages:** `en_US`, `de_DE`, `es_ES`, `fr_FR`, `pl_PL`
-
-**Entry structure:**
-```yaml
-namespace.sub.key-name:
-  en_US: "English text with %{param}"
-  de_DE: "German text with %{param}"
-  # ...
-```
-
-## Using `t!()`
-
-```rust
-// Simple key
-t!("error.unknown")
-
-// With parameter interpolation (%{name} in YAML)
-t!("bins.deprecated.renamed", old = old_name, new = new_name)
-```
-
-## Key Naming Conventions
-
-Keys use **dot-separated hierarchical namespaces** with **kebab-case** for multi-word segments:
-
-```
-<module>.<submodule>.<descriptive-name>
-```
-
-Examples:
-- `error.incorrect-password` — error kind label
-- `bins.start-init.updating-firmware` — startup phase message
-- `backup.bulk.complete-title` — backup notification title
-- `help.arg.acme-contact` — CLI help text for an argument
-- `context.diagnostic.starting-diagnostic-ui` — diagnostic context status
-
-### Top-Level Namespaces
-
-| Namespace | Purpose |
-|-----------|---------|
-| `error.*` | `ErrorKind` display strings (see `src/error.rs`) |
-| `bins.*` | CLI binary messages (deprecated, start-init, startd, etc.) |
-| `init.*` | Initialization phase labels |
-| `setup.*` | First-run setup messages |
-| `context.*` | Context startup messages (diagnostic, setup, CLI) |
-| `service.*` | Service lifecycle messages |
-| `backup.*` | Backup/restore operation messages |
-| `registry.*` | Package registry messages |
-| `net.*` | Network-related messages |
-| `middleware.*` | Request middleware messages (auth, etc.) |
-| `disk.*` | Disk operation messages |
-| `lxc.*` | Container management messages |
-| `system.*` | System monitoring/metrics messages |
-| `notifications.*` | User-facing notification messages |
-| `update.*` | OS update messages |
-| `util.*` | Utility messages (TUI, RPC) |
-| `ssh.*` | SSH operation messages |
-| `shutdown.*` | Shutdown-related messages |
-| `logs.*` | Log-related messages |
-| `auth.*` | Authentication messages |
-| `help.*` | CLI help text (`help.arg.<arg-name>`) |
-| `about.*` | CLI command descriptions |
-
-## Locale Selection
-
-`core/src/bins/mod.rs:15-36` — `set_locale_from_env()`:
-
-1. Reads `LANG` environment variable
-2. Strips `.UTF-8` suffix
-3. Exact-matches against available locales, falls back to language-prefix match (e.g. `en_GB` matches `en_US`)
-
-## Adding New Keys
-
-1. Add the key to `core/locales/i18n.yaml` with all 5 language translations
-2. Use the `t!("your.key.name")` macro in Rust code
-3. Follow existing namespace conventions — match the module path where the key is used
-4. Use kebab-case for multi-word segments
-5. Translations are validated at compile time

-# Patch-DB Patterns
-
-## Model<T> and HasModel
-
-Types stored in the database derive `HasModel`, which generates typed accessor methods on `Model<T>`:
-
-```rust
-#[derive(Debug, Deserialize, Serialize, HasModel)]
-#[serde(rename_all = "camelCase")]
-#[model = "Model<Self>"]
-pub struct ServerInfo {
-    pub version: Version,
-    pub network: NetworkInfo,
-    // ...
-}
-```
-
-**Generated accessors** (one per field):
-- `as_version()` — `&Model<Version>`
-- `as_version_mut()` — `&mut Model<Version>`
-- `into_version()` — `Model<Version>`
-
-**`Model<T>` APIs:**
-- `.de()` — Deserialize to `T`
-- `.ser(&value)` — Serialize from `T`
-- `.mutate(|v| ...)` — Deserialize, mutate, reserialize
-- For maps: `.keys()`, `.as_idx(&key)`, `.insert()`, `.remove()`, `.contains_key()`
-
-## Database Access
-
-```rust
-// Read-only snapshot
-let snap = db.peek().await;
-let version = snap.as_public().as_server_info().as_version().de()?;
-
-// Atomic mutation
-db.mutate(|db| {
-    db.as_public_mut().as_server_info_mut().as_version_mut().ser(&new_version)?;
-    Ok(())
-}).await;
-```
-
-## TypedDbWatch<T>
-
-Watch a JSON pointer path for changes and deserialize as a typed value. Requires `T: HasModel`.
-
-### Construction
-
-```rust
-use patch_db::json_ptr::JsonPointer;
-
-let ptr: JsonPointer = "/public/serverInfo".parse().unwrap();
-let mut watch = db.watch(ptr).await.typed::<ServerInfo>();
-```
-
-### API
-
-- `watch.peek()?.de()?` — Get current value as `T`
-- `watch.changed().await?` — Wait until the watched path changes
-- `watch.peek()?.as_field().de()?` — Access nested fields via `HasModel` accessors
-
-### Usage Patterns
-
-**Wait for a condition, then proceed:**
-
-```rust
-// Wait for DB version to match current OS version
-let current = Current::default().semver();
-let mut watch = db
-    .watch("/public/serverInfo".parse().unwrap())
-    .await
-    .typed::<ServerInfo>();
-loop {
-    let server_info = watch.peek()?.de()?;
-    if server_info.version == current {
-        break;
-    }
-    watch.changed().await?;
-}
-```
-
-**React to changes in a loop:**
-
-```rust
-// From net_controller.rs — react to host changes
-let mut watch = db
-    .watch("/public/serverInfo/network/host".parse().unwrap())
-    .await
-    .typed::<Host>();
-loop {
-    if let Err(e) = watch.changed().await {
-        tracing::error!("DB watch disconnected: {e}");
-        break;
-    }
-    let host = watch.peek()?.de()?;
-    // ... process host ...
-}
-```
-
-### Real Examples
-
-- `net_controller.rs:469` — Watch `Hosts` for package network changes
-- `net_controller.rs:493` — Watch `Host` for main UI network changes
-- `service_actor.rs:37` — Watch `StatusInfo` for service state transitions
-- `gateway.rs:1212` — Wait for DB migrations to complete before syncing

-# rpc-toolkit
-
-StartOS uses [rpc-toolkit](https://github.com/Start9Labs/rpc-toolkit) for its JSON-RPC API. This document covers the patterns used in this codebase.
-
-## Overview
-
-The API is JSON-RPC (not REST). All endpoints are RPC methods organized in a hierarchical command structure.
-
-## Handler Functions
-
-There are four types of handler functions, chosen based on the function's characteristics:
-
-### `from_fn_async` - Async handlers
-For standard async functions. Most handlers use this.
-
-```rust
-pub async fn my_handler(ctx: RpcContext, params: MyParams) -> Result<MyResponse, Error> {
-    // Can use .await
-}
-
-from_fn_async(my_handler)
-```
-
-### `from_fn_async_local` - Non-thread-safe async handlers
-For async functions that are not `Send` (cannot be safely moved between threads). Use when working with non-thread-safe types.
-
-```rust
-pub async fn cli_download(ctx: CliContext, params: Params) -> Result<(), Error> {
-    // Non-Send async operations
-}
-
-from_fn_async_local(cli_download)
-```
-
-### `from_fn_blocking` - Sync blocking handlers
-For synchronous functions that perform blocking I/O or long computations.
-
-```rust
-pub fn query_dns(ctx: RpcContext, params: DnsParams) -> Result<DnsResponse, Error> {
-    // Blocking operations (file I/O, DNS lookup, etc.)
-}
-
-from_fn_blocking(query_dns)
-```
-
-### `from_fn` - Sync non-blocking handlers
-For pure functions or quick synchronous operations with no I/O.
-
-```rust
-pub fn echo(ctx: RpcContext, params: EchoParams) -> Result<String, Error> {
-    Ok(params.message)
-}
-
-from_fn(echo)
-```
-
-## ParentHandler
-
-Groups related RPC methods into a hierarchy:
-
-```rust
-use rpc_toolkit::{Context, HandlerExt, ParentHandler, from_fn_async};
-
-pub fn my_api<C: Context>() -> ParentHandler<C> {
-    ParentHandler::new()
-        .subcommand("list", from_fn_async(list_handler).with_call_remote::<CliContext>())
-        .subcommand("create", from_fn_async(create_handler).with_call_remote::<CliContext>())
-}
-```
-
-## Handler Extensions
-
-Chain methods to configure handler behavior.
-
-**Ordering rules:**
-1. `with_about()` must come AFTER other CLI modifiers (`no_display()`, `with_custom_display_fn()`, etc.)
-2. `with_call_remote()` must be the LAST adapter in the chain
-
-| Method | Purpose |
-|--------|---------|
-| `.with_metadata("key", Value)` | Attach metadata for middleware |
-| `.no_cli()` | RPC-only, not available via CLI |
-| `.no_display()` | No CLI output |
-| `.with_display_serializable()` | Default JSON/YAML output for CLI |
-| `.with_custom_display_fn(\|_, res\| ...)` | Custom CLI output formatting |
-| `.with_about("about.description")` | Add help text (i18n key) - **after CLI modifiers** |
-| `.with_call_remote::<CliContext>()` | Enable CLI to call remotely - **must be last** |
-
-### Correct ordering example:
-```rust
-from_fn_async(my_handler)
-    .with_metadata("sync_db", Value::Bool(true))  // metadata early
-    .no_display()                                  // CLI modifier
-    .with_about("about.my-handler")                // after CLI modifiers
-    .with_call_remote::<CliContext>()              // always last
-```
-
-## Metadata by Middleware
-
-Metadata tags are processed by different middleware. Group them logically:
-
-### Auth Middleware (`middleware/auth/mod.rs`)
-
-| Metadata | Default | Description |
-|----------|---------|-------------|
-| `authenticated` | `true` | Whether endpoint requires authentication. Set to `false` for public endpoints. |
-
-### Session Auth Middleware (`middleware/auth/session.rs`)
-
-| Metadata | Default | Description |
-|----------|---------|-------------|
-| `login` | `false` | Special handling for login endpoints (rate limiting, cookie setting) |
-| `get_session` | `false` | Inject session ID into params as `__Auth_session` |
-
-### Signature Auth Middleware (`middleware/auth/signature.rs`)
-
-| Metadata | Default | Description |
-|----------|---------|-------------|
-| `get_signer` | `false` | Inject signer public key into params as `__Auth_signer` |
-
-### Registry Auth (extends Signature Auth)
-
-| Metadata | Default | Description |
-|----------|---------|-------------|
-| `admin` | `false` | Require admin privileges (signer must be in admin list) |
-| `get_device_info` | `false` | Inject device info header for hardware filtering |
-
-### Database Middleware (`middleware/db.rs`)
-
-| Metadata | Default | Description |
-|----------|---------|-------------|
-| `sync_db` | `false` | Sync database after mutation, add `X-Patch-Sequence` header |
-
-## Context Types
-
-Different contexts for different execution environments:
-
-- `RpcContext` - Web/RPC requests with full service access
-- `CliContext` - CLI operations, calls remote RPC
-- `InitContext` - During system initialization
-- `DiagnosticContext` - Diagnostic/recovery mode
-- `RegistryContext` - Registry daemon context
-- `EffectContext` - Service effects context (container-to-host calls)
-
-## Parameter Structs
-
-Parameters use derive macros for JSON-RPC, CLI parsing, and TypeScript generation:
-
-```rust
-#[derive(Deserialize, Serialize, Parser, TS)]
-#[serde(rename_all = "camelCase")]  // JSON-RPC uses camelCase
-#[command(rename_all = "kebab-case")]  // CLI uses kebab-case
-#[ts(export)]  // Generate TypeScript types
-pub struct MyParams {
-    pub package_id: PackageId,
-}
-```
-
-### Middleware Injection
-
-Auth middleware can inject values into params using special field names:
-
-```rust
-#[derive(Deserialize, Serialize, Parser, TS)]
-pub struct MyParams {
-    #[ts(skip)]
-    #[serde(rename = "__Auth_session")]  // Injected by session auth
-    session: InternedString,
-
-    #[ts(skip)]
-    #[serde(rename = "__Auth_signer")]   // Injected by signature auth
-    signer: AnyVerifyingKey,
-
-    #[ts(skip)]
-    #[serde(rename = "__Auth_userAgent")] // Injected during login
-    user_agent: Option<String>,
-}
-```
-
-## Common Patterns
-
-### Adding a New RPC Endpoint
-
-1. Define params struct with `Deserialize, Serialize, Parser, TS`
-2. Choose handler type based on sync/async and thread-safety
-3. Write handler function taking `(Context, Params) -> Result<Response, Error>`
-4. Add to parent handler with appropriate extensions (display modifiers before `with_about`)
-5. TypeScript types auto-generated via `make ts-bindings`
-
-### Public (Unauthenticated) Endpoint
-
-```rust
-from_fn_async(get_info)
-    .with_metadata("authenticated", Value::Bool(false))
-    .with_display_serializable()
-    .with_about("about.get-info")
-    .with_call_remote::<CliContext>()  // last
-```
-
-### Mutating Endpoint with DB Sync
-
-```rust
-from_fn_async(update_config)
-    .with_metadata("sync_db", Value::Bool(true))
-    .no_display()
-    .with_about("about.update-config")
-    .with_call_remote::<CliContext>()  // last
-```
-
-### Session-Aware Endpoint
-
-```rust
-from_fn_async(logout)
-    .with_metadata("get_session", Value::Bool(true))
-    .no_display()
-    .with_about("about.logout")
-    .with_call_remote::<CliContext>()  // last
-```

-# S9PK Package Format
-
-S9PK is the package format for StartOS services. Version 2 uses a merkle archive structure for efficient downloading and cryptographic verification.
-
-## File Format
-
-S9PK files begin with a 3-byte header: `0x3b 0x3b 0x02` (magic bytes + version 2).
-
-The archive is cryptographically signed using Ed25519 with prehashed content (SHA-512 over blake3 merkle root hash).
-

-## Components
-
-### manifest.json
-
-The package manifest contains all metadata:
-
-| Field | Type | Description |
-|-------|------|-------------|
-| `id` | string | Package identifier (e.g., `bitcoind`) |
-| `title` | string | Display name |
-| `version` | string | Extended version string |
-| `satisfies` | string[] | Version ranges this version satisfies |
-| `releaseNotes` | string/object | Release notes (localized) |
-| `canMigrateTo` | string | Version range for forward migration |
-| `canMigrateFrom` | string | Version range for backward migration |
-| `license` | string | License type |
-| `wrapperRepo` | string | StartOS wrapper repository URL |
-| `upstreamRepo` | string | Upstream project URL |
-| `supportSite` | string | Support site URL |
-| `marketingSite` | string | Marketing site URL |
-| `donationUrl` | string? | Optional donation URL |
-| `docsUrl` | string? | Optional documentation URL |
-| `description` | object | Short and long descriptions (localized) |
-| `images` | object | Image configurations by image ID |
-| `volumes` | string[] | Volume IDs for persistent data |
-| `alerts` | object | User alerts for lifecycle events |
-| `dependencies` | object | Package dependencies |
-| `hardwareRequirements` | object | Hardware requirements (arch, RAM, devices) |
-| `hardwareAcceleration` | boolean | Whether package uses hardware acceleration |
-| `gitHash` | string? | Git commit hash |
-| `osVersion` | string | Minimum StartOS version |
-| `sdkVersion` | string? | SDK version used to build |
-
-### javascript.squashfs
-
-Contains the package JavaScript that implements the `ABI` interface from `@start9labs/start-sdk-base`. This code runs in the container runtime and manages the package lifecycle.
-
-The squashfs is mounted at `/usr/lib/startos/package/` and the runtime loads `index.js`.
-
-### images/
-
-Container images organized by architecture:
-
-- **`<image-id>.squashfs`** - Container root filesystem
-- **`<image-id>.json`** - Image metadata (entrypoint, user, workdir, etc.)
-- **`<image-id>.env`** - Environment variables for the container
-
-Images are built from Docker/Podman and converted to squashfs. The `ImageConfig` in manifest specifies:
-- `arch` - Supported architectures
-- `emulateMissingAs` - Fallback architecture for emulation
-- `nvidiaContainer` - Whether to enable NVIDIA container support
-
-### assets.squashfs
-
-Static assets accessible to the package, mounted read-only at `/media/startos/assets/` in the container.
-
-### dependencies/
-
-Metadata for dependencies displayed in the UI:
-- `metadata.json` - Just title for now
-- `icon.<ext>` - Icon for the dependency
-
-## Merkle Archive
-
-The S9PK uses a merkle tree structure where each file and directory has a blake3 hash. This enables:
-
-1. **Partial downloads** - Download and verify individual files
-2. **Integrity verification** - Verify any subset of the archive
-3. **Efficient updates** - Only download changed portions
-4. **DOS protection** - Size limits enforced before downloading content
-
-Files are sorted by priority for streaming (manifest first, then icon, license, dependencies, javascript, assets, images).
-
-## Building S9PK
-
-Use `start-cli s9pk pack` to build packages:
-
-```bash
-start-cli s9pk pack <manifest-path> -o <output.s9pk>
-```
-
-Images can be sourced from:
-- Docker/Podman build (`--docker-build`)
-- Existing Docker tag (`--docker-tag`)
-- Pre-built squashfs files
