- tty1-tty12 all run login; the image has only root. /dev/tty7..12 could not
be written (cdev.c knew minors 10-16 only), which sent their jobs into a
restart storm that took the supervisor down; fixed, and stat reports them as
Linux's tty7..12.
- Erasing text at a prompt did nothing: erase_one sent a bare backspace, which
only moves; it and the echo path now send back-blank-back through vt_feed.
- A white cursor block was left at the end of every line of a verbose boot:
a line feed at the bottom scrolls the pixels, cursor included, and the
cursor was erased after the scroll. It comes off first now. A blank cell is
also marked dirty, which it was not.
- ldlsd died with a general protection fault on real hardware in its variadic
log function: Linux module code calls with an 8-byte-aligned stack and an
unset %al, and the prologue's movaps faults. LDLS guest code is built with
-mstackrealign.
- make iso took over a minute for any change, because staging r8169 rewrote
the same files and every mtime moved; it now replaces files only if their
contents differ (about 10 s).
- The loader's splash is redrawn in the boot manager's style, and the boot
manager shows its cursor whenever a pointer device exists.
- xf86-input-libinput is out of the image again: with it Xorg took both
keyboard and pointer from libinput and, on the user's laptop, neither worked.

Alpine's libinput, libseat, seatd, xf86-input-libinput and usbutils join the
image, and seatd runs from schinit. libinput lists the keyboard and pointer as
an ordinary user, Xorg now drives both through libinput, and a program linked
to libseat running as schos opens seat0 through seatd, is handed
/dev/input/event0 and reads its name through the descriptor.
Two kernel bugs stood in the way, and both would have stopped a Wayland
compositor too. The socket connect() queues for a listener was allocated with
its domain at zero, so sendmsg refused SCM_RIGHTS on the accepted end: a server
could receive descriptors and never send one. And sendmsg treated a control
buffer longer than its messages as an error, where Linux takes a following
header too short to be one as the end; seatd passes a zeroed CMSG_SPACE array
with one descriptor at the front.
Found with /proc/strace and a temporary kinfo in sendmsg's EINVAL sites.

The kernel now checks owner/group/other on open, create, unlink, rename, exec
and path search; honours set-user-id and set-group-id; restricts kill, mount,
reboot and mknod; keeps supplementary groups; and implements chown. devtmpfs
nodes carry owners and modes that chmod/chown keep. Terminals run login, the
image has root and schos, X starts as the ordinary user.

udevd and a one-shot trigger run from schinit, 10-schos.conf no longer lists
event0/event1, and the docs say what udev covers and what it does not.

SchOS will not write its own compositor. projects/schcom, its test and its make targets are deleted. roadmap.md section 5 is
now the road to Wayland (udev/eudev, a /sys/devices tree and uevent netlink, libinput and libseat, a DRM device via the GPU
plan) and 5b is the boot manager rework (Niveus/skeuomorphic UEFI GUI). XLibre, Xorg or a Wayland compositor from Alpine,
whichever suits; Xorg for now.

Tried in QEMU on a built ISO: startx brings up Window Maker, xclock and xeyes connect and disconnect, an xterm runs
and exits, Xorg stays up -- the pthread_join crash is gone with threads. -dumbSched is removed from .xserverrc.
make iso now stages Linux's r8169 set first when this machine has the modules (ldls-r8169-if-present), and
sysroot-install puts LICENSE, LICENSE.MIT and NOTICE in /usr/share/licenses/schos.

1.0: the acceptance test drops its reboot clause (a live system is the finish line) and passes. Schcom is kept with a
job: the installer's GUI first, SchDE on top later (roadmap section 5). The old 'LDLS ships no Linux code' policy is
gone from ldls/devices/licensing/Makefile/.gitignore/ldlsd; NOTICE records the r8169 modules (GPL-2.0-only) and the
Realtek firmware. The download button points at the v0.1.0 release asset; the stale 64 MB ISO under docs/Website is
removed. mkaroot.sh's -dumbSched comment no longer claims SchOS has no threads.

kernel (threads, demand paging, TLB shootdowns, dynamic linking, RAM direct map), syscalls, filesystem (/proc, /sys,
/dev), terminals (12, VT handshake, ptys), networking (r8169 through LDLS), LDLS (module sets; Linux code may ship),
devices (what stays in the kernel; hybrid.md's lasting content), boot (the loader's placement of the kernel),
graphics (fbdev, GMMOS, QR 1-40), audio (ALSA over OSS), debugging, usb. New: packages.md (the apk root) and
desktop.md (Xorg on the framebuffer).
