Aiden McClelland 2ee403e7de chore: remove tor from startos core
Tor is being moved from a built-in OS feature to a service. This removes
the Arti-based Tor client, onion address management, hidden service
creation, and all related code from the core backend, frontend, and SDK.

- Delete core/src/net/tor/ module (~2060 lines)
- Remove OnionAddress, TorSecretKey, TorController from all consumers
- Remove HostnameInfo::Onion and HostAddress::Onion variants
- Remove onion CRUD RPC endpoints and tor subcommand
- Remove tor key handling from account and backup/restore
- Remove ~12 tor-related Cargo dependencies (arti-client, torut, etc.)
- Remove tor UI components, API methods, mock data, and routes
- Remove OnionHostname and tor patterns/regexes from SDK
- Add v0_4_0_alpha_20 database migration to strip onion data
- Bump version to 0.4.0-alpha.20

StartOS Backend

Structure

  • startos: This contains the core library for StartOS that supports building startbox.
  • helpers: This contains utility functions used across both startos and js-engine
  • models: This contains types that are shared across startos, js-engine, and helpers

Artifacts

The StartOS backend is packed into a single binary startbox that is symlinked under several different names for different behavior:

  • startd: This is the main daemon of StartOS
  • start-cli: This is a CLI tool that will allow you to issue commands to startd and control it similarly to the UI
  • start-sdk: This is a CLI tool that aids in building and packaging services you wish to deploy to StartOS
