Why `os_chroot` and not `os_set_root`? + +**Answer**: Unix heritage. The name `chroot` is immediately recognizable to developers familiar with containerization, jails, and isolation. It conveys the right semantics: "change the root directory for path resolution." + +### 2. Why panic on mount conflicts? + +**Answer**: Security and correctness. If an application tries to override an OS mount, it's either: +- A configuration error (fixable), or +- An attempted security violation (must be blocked) + +Fail-fast is safer than allowing undefined behavior. + +### 3. Why GitHub raw URLs only? + +**Answer**: MVP scope and security. GitHub provides: +- HTTPS by default +- Immutable refs (commit SHAs) +- Wide adoption in the target community +- Free hosting for public repos + +Future versions can support other HTTPS sources. + +### 4. Why separate OS and application fstab? + +**Answer**: Separation of concerns. The OS layer (kernel, core libs) should be independently maintainable from application layer (BMAD bundles, user agents). This mirrors `/etc/fstab` vs per-user mounts in traditional Unix. + +## What This Proves + +✅ **Proof 1**: Promptware OS can boot reliably from an official OS root +✅ **Proof 2**: Promptware OS can `os_chroot` into an application root +✅ **Proof 3**: Promptware OS can ingest arbitrary text payloads as init +✅ **Proof 4**: BMAD (or any system) can be booted by URL without installation + +**This is the "cloud-native agent OS" proof.** + +## What's NOT in MVP + +Following Unix philosophy and "worse is better", these are intentionally deferred: + +- ❌ `os/modules/*` system +- ❌ Expansion pack discovery +- ❌ Content patching/overlay +- ❌ Format parsing (bundle structure interpretation) +- ❌ Multi-URL source support beyond GitHub + +**Rationale**: Prove the core mechanism first.
