Self-Hosting Status

All self-hosting tiers (0-7) complete as of v0.5.0:

  • GCC 14.2, binutils 2.43, make, ninja
  • vpkg package manager
  • BusyBox 208/208 tests passing
  • Native compilation on VeridianOS

KDE Plasma 6 Status (v0.25.1)

Cross-compiled from source using musl-based static pipeline:

  • kwin_wayland: 64MB stripped, loads into Ring 3 (4 LOAD segments, ~66MB VA)
  • plasmashell: 59MB stripped
  • dbus-daemon: 886KB
  • Rootfs: 180MB BlockFS image (512 inodes)
  • Qt 6.8.3, KDE Frameworks 6.12.0, Mesa 24.2.8 (softpipe), Wayland 1.23.1

Current state: ELF loader maps kwin_wayland into user memory, musl _start entry point reached. Expected double-fault at syscall boundary (kernel syscall gaps pending for v1.0.0).

Verification Infrastructure

  • 38 Kani proofs for critical kernel paths
  • 6 TLA+ specifications (boot chain, IPC, memory, capabilities)
  • TLC model checking configurations
  • scripts/verify.sh runner

Next Steps

  • v1.0.0: Final release with kernel syscall gap remediation
  • Real hardware testing
  • Community contributions
  • llvmpipe GPU upgrade
  • Upstream KDE cross-compilation patches
