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:

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.
