The manifest described its own fields by naming the thing they were
modelled on -- "in launchd terms this is a RunAtLoad + KeepAlive
daemon", and ThrottleInterval attributed to launchd by name. The design
debt is real and recorded in docs; a file shipped in /etc is not the
place to keep citing another system's trademarks.
What the fields do is unchanged, and so is every value. The comment that
survives says what the interval guards against, which is the part a
reader of this file actually needs.

LOGO_SRC named "Assets/SchOS Small Logo.png", which no longer exists --
the small logo was replaced by the full logo, the same mark slightly
redrawn. `make logo` had been failing since. Points at the full logo now;
not the text logo, which is the wordmark and would be illegible scaled to
128 px. Verified by photographing the splash: the mark renders as the
circle with Sch over OS.
/etc lived only in sysroot/, which is generated and gitignored, so
/etc/passwd, /etc/group, /etc/profile, /etc/kshrc and /etc/motd would all
have been missing from a fresh clone -- and the machine boots to a shell
that reads them. They are tracked under etc/ now and installed by
etc-install alongside the schinit manifests.
/etc/motd still said "Schunix": the rename swept tracked files, and this
one was excluded from version control at the time. Fixed.
Noted while checking: sysroot/bin/sh still contains the symbol
__schunix_tp, so the staged mksh predates the rename of the musl TLS
patch to __schos_tp. Harmless -- it is an internal symbol -- but it
confirms the staged ports are older than the patches that produce them,
and they cannot be rebuilt on a Windows host. It resolves the next time
ports are built on Linux.
Milestone 1 of three: manifests, RunAtLoad, KeepAlive with throttling,
and reaping. Replaces the hardcoded fork-a-shell loop in cmd/init, which
stays in the tree for now.
Jobs are sectioned key=value files in /etc/schinit/*.job, kept in the
repo under etc/ and installed into the sysroot -- sysroot/ is generated
and gitignored, so anything written only there is lost on a fresh clone,
which is already true of /etc/passwd and should not become true of the
boot configuration. Unknown keys and sections are ignored rather than
fatal: a manifest written for a newer schinit must not stop this one
booting the machine.
Socket sections are parsed and recorded but not yet held. That is
milestone 2 and it is the whole reason for copying launchd rather than
sysvinit -- the supervisor holds the listener and starts the job on first
connect, which inverts the dependency graph and makes runlevels a
non-concept. The key exists now so manifests need not change later.
getdents64 is exposed to userland for this. The kernel has had it since
the Linux ABI landed, but nothing declared it in user.h or lib/usys.S, so
first-party programs had no way to list a directory at all.
Two things found by testing rather than reasoning:
- setsid() gives a job its own session, and a session has no
controlling terminal. The console then delivers input only to the
foreground process group it tracks, so the shell came up, echoed
every keystroke through the line discipline, and executed none of
them -- indistinguishable from a hung shell. ControllingTerminal=yes
claims it with TIOCSCTTY/TIOCSPGRP; off by default, since a daemon
has no business seizing the console.
- the first bootstrap() dropped /dev/input/event0-1 and most of /proc,
because it was transcribed from the part of the old init that had
been read rather than all of it. -Evdev caught it.
build/usbstick.img is built by `all` now: without it QEMU refuses the
-drive and the entire -Usb run produces no output, which reads as a
broken USB driver.
Seven suites green: base 27, Tty 51, Ps 32, Sock 64, Fb 36, Usb 31,
Evdev 29. make schfs-check passes.
