Carry project memory in the repo, with tools/memory-sync.sh
Claude Code keeps per-project memory at <home>/.claude/projects/<key>/,
where <key> is the project's absolute path with every separator and the
drive colon turned into a dash. That makes it both rename-fragile and
machine-specific, and this project has hit each of those once:
- D:\DEV\Schunix -> D:\DEV\SchOS changed the key, and 43 memories were
invisible until moved across by hand.
- Development happens from Windows and from Linux, and each looks in a
different place for the same checkout.
Committing .claude/memory/ fixes both -- git carries it across renames
and between hosts -- and `import` puts it wherever the local machine
expects. .claude/settings.local.json stays ignored: those are per-machine
permissions.
The colon maps to a dash rather than being dropped. Deleting it gives
D-DEV-SchOS, which matches nothing and silently finds zero memories; that
was the first attempt. On Git Bash the key comes from `cygpath -w`,
because Claude Code is a Windows program and sees D:\DEV\SchOS, not
/d/DEV/SchOS.

Decided 2026-08-08. Nexoniarz: "we should take FreeBSD or NetBSD and their
|
||||
Network stuff because it's going to be hell making own TCP/IP." **Agreed on the
|
||||
premise** — TCP is the one part of a network stack where writing it yourself is
|
||||
a bad trade. It is not the packet format that is hard; it is congestion control,
|
||||
retransmission, window management and twenty years of corner cases that only
|
||||
appear against a real peer.
|
||||
|
||||
**But the source matters, and NetBSD is the wrong one.**
|
||||
|
||||
## The licence evidence (all verified, not assumed)
|
||||
|
||||
| | advertising clause? |
|
||||
|---|---|
|
||||
| NetBSD `sys/netinet/tcp_input.c`, `tcp_output.c` | **Yes** — the WIDE Project's 4-clause |
|
||||
| FreeBSD `sys/netinet/tcp_input.c` | **No** — UC, Swinburne, FreeBSD Foundation, Juniper |
|
||||
| lwIP | **No** — BSD-3, Swedish Institute of Computer Science |
|
||||
|
||||
The NetBSD clause belongs to **WIDE**, not Berkeley, so the 1999 rescission does
|
||||
not reach it. Checked FreeBSD's file directly from `raw.githubusercontent.com`;
|
||||
zero matches for "All advertising materials". Checked lwIP's `COPYING`; likewise
|
||||
zero. This **reverses** the older assumption in `docs/roadmap.md` that NetBSD
|
||||
was the intended starting point.
|
||||
|
||||
## The porting evidence, which matters more
|
||||
|
||||
FreeBSD's `sys/netinet` is not a library. `tcp_input.c` alone is 122 KB and
|
||||
reaches into mbufs, `epoch(9)`, netisr, VNET, `uma(9)`, sockbufs, inpcb hash
|
||||
tables and FreeBSD's locking. Taking it means porting FreeBSD's kernel
|
||||
infrastructure first and finding the TCP underneath — the same conclusion
|
||||
`docs/roadmap.md` §1 already reached about `sys/dev/usb`.
|
||||
|
||||
**lwIP was written for the situation Schunix is actually in:** a small OS with a
|
||||
raw Ethernet driver and no infrastructure. Port layer is a handful of files, no
|
||||
dependency on the host allocator or locking, and it brings ARP, IPv4, ICMP, UDP,
|
||||
TCP, DHCP and DNS.
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation: lwIP first, FreeBSD as the reference to check against.**
|
||||
|
||||
## Practical notes
|
||||
|
||||
- Nexoniarz deleted the NetBSD checkout (`src-trunk/`) for space and said it can
|
||||
be re-fetched. **Do not clone a whole BSD tree** — a sparse checkout of
|
||||
`sys/net` and `sys/netinet` is all that has ever been needed, and the space
|
||||
complaint was legitimate.
|
||||
- One-file fetches from `raw.githubusercontent.com` are enough for a licence
|
||||
check and cost nothing. That is how both findings above were made.
|
||||
- Shell trap hit while doing this: `grep -c` **exits 1 when it finds zero
|
||||
matches**, so `cmd && grep -c ... || echo "failed"` prints the failure message
|
||||
on a perfectly successful run. Nearly reported "no network access" when the
|
||||
fetch had worked.
|
||||
- Whichever is chosen, it needs a `NOTICE` entry — see [[schunix-licensing]].
