Sixty-five headers sat side by side in include/, so `#include "irq.h"`
said nothing about where irq.h was or what it belonged to, and errno.h,
stat.h and fcntl.h at the top shadowed the system's for any host tool
built with -I./include. They are in folders now -- arch/ core/ fs/
dev/ gfx/ net/ uapi/ (and ldls/ for the Linux driver layer) -- and
every include names the folder, as Linux's do: "core/proc.h".
Done mechanically and checked the hard way: the kernel built from this
tree disassembles identically to the one built from the tree before
it. The full image boots, and userland is the same set of programs.
Paths in docs and comments follow; docs/guides/layout.md has a table
of what is where, and tools/fix-includes.py rewrites old-style
includes from the folders in the tree, for code written before this.

Shift is the logo, Guru is the icon, SchCotie is the mascot, and the difference
between them is not stylistic. An icon works once, at one size, in one state. A
mascot has to be able to *do* things -- confused, pleased, asleep, seen from
behind -- which is why it costs more and is drawn last. Written down because
this is exactly the kind of decision that gets re-derived badly.
Assets/ becomes docs/branding/, which also fixes two things:
* Filenames had spaces in them, so every reference needed quoting. They are
lowercase and hyphenated now.
* Assets/ held hand-written SVG and generated PNG in one directory, which is
the one rule docs/guides/layout.md states.
The guide records what was previously only in people's heads:
* The constraint everything answers to -- include/logo.h is a 128x128
single-channel coverage mask, so a mark has to survive as a solid shape in
one colour and be recognisable at 24 px. Colour is the last decision, never
the first.
* Guru's purple is load-bearing. PSOGM_BG #4B1D9A is deliberately not the
accent #7C5CFF, and theme.h's rule is that the full-bleed purple belongs
entirely to failure. If Guru appears in accent violet on a sticker, the deep
purple stops meaning "the machine stopped" -- and it is the only colour in
the system that means anything.
* Why shift-mask.svg is a separate file from shift.svg. mklogo.py reads ink as
(255 - luminance) * alpha, so tones survive as coverage and the relationship
inverts: darkest here is brightest on screen. Copying the violet fills would
light the object from below.
* Why a raster is committed beside its SVG. inkscape is not a build
prerequisite, so requiring a vector rasteriser would break the build on most
hosts for a file that changes about once a year.
* That the BSD daemon is copyrighted and SchCotie must be drawn from the
concept rather than from Beastie. A daemon is a Greek daimon and a Unix
background process; neither is ownable. The pitchfork, the sneakers and that
face are.
Format rule: SVG, or PNG at high resolution with no lossy compression, nothing
else. SVG is the source of truth for every mark and a raster is generated from
it, never edited.
include/logo.h regenerates byte-identical from the new path -- only the source
comment differs. The two old wordmark SVGs were deleted outside this session and
are left deleted; their PNGs are kept as superseded-*.png for reference.
