- ARCHITECTURE: the kernel section now carries the real Rust-vs-C numbers —
22 Rust modules / 29,269 Rust LOC at ring 0 / 492 lines of hand-written C
(nine FFI shims; the rest kbuild-generated). char-device/ioctl ABI, Ed25519
module signing, Linux 6.19, QEMU-boot-validated.
- GRIMOIRE "by the numbers": 113 labs (was 108), 13 plugins (was 8), 84-module
/ ~105K-LOC gamification engine (was ~110/~53K), 7 playable factions, live
systems (XP curve, perk synergies, morality consequences, faction wars).
- README: ChurchOfMalware creed updated to the current faction liturgy —
"code is scripture · exploitation is sermon · INFECTION is salvation".
All measured from the live tree; boundary-clean (no sealed-symbol usage).

Bump README, FEATURES, FOR_RECRUITERS, ROADMAP, and GRIMOIRE from the v60
"Sun & Salt" line to the v80 "Sunlance" 1.0 GA milestone.
- Version strings, badges, and headline metrics -> v80 / 1.0 GA
- ALFRED v5 -> v6.0; GRIMOIRE 100 labs -> 108 (catalog 1.0); 160 -> 209 crates
- Post-quantum framed as the default posture
- Correct the now-dead custom-syscall claim (469-485 collide with upstream
Linux 6.19) -> generic capability-gated, signed kernel-module interface
- Generalize stale CI-workflow / kernel-module counts
IP discipline: withholds v61-v80 subsystem internals (consensus, federated
learning, policy engine, cross-prompt-injection, char-dev/ioctl specifics,
key-escrow). Public-safe pre-release information only.

GRIMOIRE.md additions:
- The arsenal — three distrobox-based operator environments (Kali,
BlackArch's 2,800+ packages, Parrot privacy stack), 600+ host-native
tools via pacman/AUR, ~3,400 cross-distrobox total, with progressive
unlock through certification arcs
- Boss contracts — raids vs nightmare tiers, contract.toml state
machine semantics, branch-on-solution-approach, faction favor as
earned reputation
- The XP engine — ~100K-line gamification crate, modified-logarithmic
level curve with prestige boundaries, multiplicative multiplier stack
(property-tested cap), signed-commit-attestation XP for upstream
contributions (forge-resistant)
- Loot economy depth — tier-tied drop tables, prestige-locked gear,
reputation multipliers
- Certification arcs — OffSec (OSCP/OSEP/OSWE/OSCE³), GIAC, ISC²,
EC-Council, INE, Splunk/Sentinel/Elastic, AZ-500/SC-100/AWS Security
- Blue + red + purple split — full-spectrum positioning vs the
curriculum-only competitors
MESH.md (NEW) — the e-waste reduction philosophy as a load-bearing
front-door doc. Three reinforcing pillars (environmental, economic,
sovereign) + how the mesh works at a high level + what it enables.
"The mesh is the product. Everything else is architecture in service
of this core." Old laptops and retired workstations pulled from the
e-waste stream back into a sovereign compute pool.
README.md updates:
- Mesh-on-salvaged-silicon as a first-class capability bullet
- Promise section now leads with "the mesh is the product"
- Cross-link to MESH.md
The pivot here is from "Syn_OS is a security distro with mesh capability"
to "Syn_OS is mesh-of-old-hardware running local AI; security distro is
how we got here." This matches the founder's stated load-bearing thesis.
