VIBRIX / DOCUMENTATION

Understand the
whole machine.

Start with the dated status snapshot to see what is actually verified. Repository documents remain authoritative and evolve with the code; future architecture is not the same as current functionality.

NATIVE USERSPACE

Desktop preview

Boot controls, real terminal/files, graphics ABI, input safety and QEMU pixel tests.
