# Project Kiln

Private Phase 0 scaffold for the CLI-first Arch gaming OS. `Kiln` and every
`kiln-*` identifier are temporary repository-local names, not public compatibility
promises.

## Current proof

The workspace contains a dependency-free Rust core and CLI smoke path. Rust 1.85 is
the minimum supported compiler because it introduced Edition 2024; development and CI
remain pinned to the reviewed Rust 1.97.1 toolchain:

```text
kiln version
kiln doctor
kiln doctor --json
```

Run deterministic repository and Rust gates with `make verify`. Run only the
environment-independent repository checks with `make static`. Run the separately
versioned, network-backed dependency advisory/license/source audit with `make audit`.
Rust 1.97.1 is pinned.

The active specification is under `docs/spec/`. Start with
`docs/spec/00_SPEC_INDEX.md`; the archived monolith is intentionally excluded.

Local Codex CLI work starts with `AGENTS.md`. The initial bounded Phase 1 brief is
`docs/handoff/phase-1-codex-cli.md`.
