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.

**Removed 2026-08-08 at Nexoniarz's request** ("we don't need it anymore because
|
|
we know that doom works"). Do not re-add it, and do not reintroduce the name into
|
|
comments — they also asked for trademark words to be cleared from the tree, and
|
|
it is now at zero references outside `dist/`.
|
|
|
|
Deleted: `ports/fbdoom/`, `tools/doomtest.ps1`, `tools/doomtest2.ps1`, the
|
|
`doom`/`doomtest`/`doom-uninstall` Makefile targets, `NOTPORTS := fbdoom`.
|
|
**The WADs were moved, not deleted** — `dist/wads/` — because `doom1.wad` was a
|
|
shareware download that existed nowhere else in the tree, while `freedoom1.wad`
|
|
is recoverable from `dist/freedoom-0.13.0.zip`.
|
|
|
|
**What it was worth, because the shape is worth repeating.** A large program
|
|
somebody else wrote, exercising `/dev/fb0`, evdev, `mmap`, the ELF loader,
|
|
`gettimeofday` and a fixed-rate tic loop at once, is harsher than any in-house
|
|
test *because it was not written against our bugs*. It found: the
|
|
`fcntl(F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK)` no-op; the evdev backlog replayed to each new
|
|
opener; and the missing `EVIOCGRAB`. All fixed, all now covered by
|
|
`tools/bootcheck.ps1 -Evdev` / `-Sock` — which are narrower and do **not** prove
|
|
the whole stack composes. That is the honest cost of the removal.
|
|
|
|
**Why it went beyond being asked:** ~100k lines of GPL-2.0 engine on
|
|
non-redistributable shareware data, whose safety depended on two separate
|
|
opt-outs (`NOTPORTS` and `RAMDISK_EXCLUDE`) both staying correct — and the
|
|
ramdisk is linked *into the kernel binary*, so a slip there makes the kernel
|
|
undistributable, not just the image. See [[schunix-ramdisk-root-sizing]] and
|
|
[[schunix-licensing]].
|
|
|
|
**Two techniques from it that transfer:**
|
|
- Assert on *pixels*, not log lines. A log-only harness once passed on a blank
|
|
screen. `tools/splashshot.ps1` counts distinct colours for this reason.
|
|
- For a crash inside a program you did not write, run `llvm-nm` against the
|
|
faulting `rip` to get a function name, then use the fault offset to identify
|
|
the exact field. "Null pointer plus 24" alone is nearly useless.
|
|
|
|
Both lessons are written up in `docs/roadmap.md` Phase 7 and
|
|
`docs/architecture/kernel-history.md` §10 and §12, with the program genericised.
