Where everything lives: the layout as ruled, and its first stage

[Japabu]

The owner ruled on 2026-09-26 where everything in ToyOS lives. This PR records that ruling as a track and builds its first stage, the part that needs no isolation work.

What changed, and why

The layout is recorded in one place. issues/filesystem/where-everything-lives.md (a track) holds the tree, the rules and the stages with their exits. Every line in it is the owner's ruling, including the five the review asked about, which the orchestrator confirmed as owner-approved:

• a third-party app may create a dotfile inside its own app folder (the honest limit);
• /config overrides /system/etc;
• per-user overrides of the keyboard layout and the language come with the users track;
• an app finds its files next to its binary (current_exe());
• /system is signed, because the self-update track signs the image. The track now says that nothing verifies it until that lands.

The stages are: 1 (this PR); 2, an app's HOME is its folder; 3, users; 4, the time zone (one file in /config, one writer, local time read through it, and no zone recovered by subtraction); 5, the language (one file in /config, one writer, init sets it on every program); 6, fonts ship as files (below); 7, the upstream arms. Each stage has an exit.

/config and /state exist. They are two more names DATA answers to. init makes /home/toy and its eight folders at boot, and makes a service's /state/<name> before each start. The kernel makes no home. A folder that fails now says which folder, not that the whole home is missing.

HOME is init's on every spawn path. This is the review's first blocker.

• The launcher path. init sets HOME from the row on every start (Program::home), over whatever the caller carried: /state/<name> for a row marked service = true, the session's /home/toy for everything else.
• The direct path. This is std's spawn of an undeclared program, or a spawn by a caller with no launcher, or by one that endowed a handle. Before, it handed the child the parent's whole environment, so an ssh exec of an undeclared binary ran with HOME=/state/sshd. Now init answers the launch of an undeclared program with the session's HOME (MSG_NOT_DECLARED carries it as its payload, and toyos::launch::Outcome::NotDeclared { home } holds it). std's direct spawn carries a HOME in only two cases: its caller named one, or init answered one. It never carries the parent's own. A direct spawn that init was not asked about carries no HOME.
• Why init decides, and not a refusal. The isolation track (issues/isolation/every-program-sees-only-the-files-it-was-given.md) puts every location and every session in init's hands. A child's view is at most its parent's. At stage 3 a login authority asks init's launcher for a session instead of spawning one. Refusing the spawn would end the metal loop's and sshd_exec's runs of undeclared test binaries over ssh. Stripping the variable alone would give such a binary no HOME. Letting init answer is the one choice that keeps "a location reaches a program only from init" true today and that stage 3 needs no change to. The program's authority on the direct path is still inheritance, as before; only its HOME moved.

A serving row must be a service. toyos_manifest::render refuses a row that serves a port but is not marked service = true (ServesWithoutService). every_config_renders_its_manifest renders every config. A service that serves nothing, such as sshd, cannot be told apart from its row, so it is still marked by hand, and nothing in the build can refuse an unmarked sshd.

std answers $HOME. These are fork commits on ToyOSOrg/rust wt-toyos-layout:

• home_dir answers $HOME, and the runtime stops seeding HOME/XDG_CONFIG_HOME at every start (a0534feb, e1acded3);
• the direct spawn's HOME rule (957f1426);
• a merge of toyos-inbox at 7a809b75, netd, std: the TCP client path holds up — resets, half-close, loss, clients that leave, peers that vanish, replies that flood #520's pin, into this branch (80ea645f).

The pin is 80ea645f.

An empty directory is listed. Vfs::list now names the directories the VFS carries in created_dirs, so an empty .config is in its parent's listing and the dotfile walk sees it. The listing still refuses past MAX_LIST_ENTRIES, as every FileSystem::list does. The filed DATA issue loses that bullet and is renamed issues/filesystem/a-directory-on-data-survives-no-reboot.md.

Machine settings leave the user's home. The keyboard layout is /config/keyboard-layout. sshd keeps its identity and key list in /state/sshd. The shell keeps its history in its own folder's State: $HOME/Apps/shell while HOME is the session's, and $HOME itself once stage 2 makes that folder its HOME (OWN_FOLDER), so the path does not double. Stage 2's exit names that line.

The SDK doc lines are now deleted, per the owner's rule. The prior state of this branch had corrected the 26 lines (/bin/x to /system/bin/x) instead, flagged as a deviation for the orchestrator to confirm. The owner's rule stands: /bin and /system/bin are both deleted from these sentences, leaving each program named by itself (`init`, `logd`, `toybox`, `ps`, `sshd`, `ls`, `terminal`, `console`) rather than by a path that names ToyOS's own tree inside a crate three external forks (winit, softbuffer, cpal) resolve by version — the concrete deployment path is exactly the free text that just rotted once and would rot again at the next layout move. cargo doc --no-deps on toyos-abi, toyos and userland/toyos-window builds clean (pre-existing unrelated warnings only, unchanged from before this edit).

This PR no longer ships JetBrains Mono. src/assets.rs and NOTICE are back to main's, which ends the collision with #528 (see below).

/log/lease.txt does not move. It is the metal loop's bench report on the FAT log volume, not netd's lease, and the track records this.

#528 and src/assets.rs

The resolution the track records (stage 6) is:

• TTFs ship as files under /system/share/fonts from assets/fonts/;
• the console raster stays its own asset, rasterized from the top-level TTF;
• each OFL text ships once, under /system/share/licenses.

This branch no longer touches src/assets.rs or NOTICE, so the two branches share no hunk there, and neither has to change anything in those files to land after the other. At #528's head (42059f54, and 5fc53dbc in its worktree), the_system_fonts_ship_with_their_licence puts the Open Sans OFL at share/fonts/ofl.txt. That meets stage 6's "every OFL text in /system/share/licenses" only once assets/fonts/OFL.txt moves under assets/licenses/ and that test asserts the new path. JetBrains Mono as a file, assets/fonts/JetBrainsMono-Regular.ttf (the same blob as the top-level one), is stage 6's too. Whoever builds stage 6 owns both. Neither is a landing condition for either PR.

Tests

layout_fresh_boot (Fast, Parallel) boots tests/layoutcase on a blank DATA volume with a staged key: tests/sshdcase, plus a declared shell and the locale applet. Over ssh it checks:

1. shell -c 'echo $HOME' prints /home/toy. The shell is a declared row, so its HOME comes from init's start, over sshd's /state/sshd.
2. locale de sets the layout, and an interactive shell runs echo layout history.
3. test_rs_layout_paths de 'echo layout history' runs. Nothing declares it, so sshd spawns it directly. It asserts:
   • HOME and home_dir() are /home/toy, and /home/root is absent;
   • /home/toy lists exactly the eight folders and /state lists exactly logd netd sshd;
   • /state/sshd/host_ed25519 is a file;
   • /config/keyboard-layout reads de and /home/toy/Apps/shell/State/history holds the typed line, both asked for by literal path;
   • no entry under /apps /config /home /log /state /tmp starts with a dot.

The host also checks sshd's minted a new host identity at /state/sshd/host_ed25519 line.

Negative controls

Each control was a checked patch against the committed green arm. The script applied it, ran layout_fresh_boot, reverse-applied it, and showed the tree clean. Every red names the mutated behaviour, which shows the mutated tree built and ran. The rows through m4b were measured at 75942e24; the kernel rows were measured again at 542f00ed.

mutation	exit	red because
B1: the whole HOME routing reverted (fork 957f1426 reversed in rust/, toyos/src/launch.rs to base, init's MSG_NOT_DECLARED back to a bare signal)	1	HOME is Ok("/state/sshd"), home_dir() is Some("/state/sshd")
B2: command.env("HOME", &home) deleted from start, boot path given HOME at its call site (the reviewer's)	1	a launched shell's HOME is "/state/sshd\n"
B3: ".config" added to init's HOME_FOLDERS (the reviewer's)	1	/home/toy lists [".config", …], a dotfile on a fresh boot: ["/home/toy/.config"]

B4b: history at $HOME/.shell_history (the reviewer's; OWN_FOLDER deleted with it so it builds)	1	…/Apps/shell/State/history: NotFound, a dotfile /home/toy/.shell_history
kernel: the Vfs::list change reverted	1	/home/toy lists ["Apps"], /state lists ["sshd"]
kernel reverted and B3	1	same, and no dotfile line: without the kernel change the walk cannot see .config, which is the review's finding
green arm at 75942e24 (twice) and at 542f00ed	0

Host: toyos-manifest's a_row_that_serves_a_port_and_is_no_service_is_refused pins the render refusal.

Independent oracle. For the HOME routing and the layout, the owner's ruling is the specification, and the test is written against the ruling, not against the code. For home_dir, the fork follows upstream std's unix idiom (var_os("HOME") filtered for empty), without the passwd fallback. For the listing, the oracle is the kernel's own created_dirs contract (cd and list already treat an entry there as a directory). No second implementation reads the DATA volume. The oracle stays partial.

The fast tier's reds:

• lan_mdns_answer failed with path must be shorter than SUN_LEN, both wide and alone. This is issues/build/a-lane-s-tap-socket-path-is-past-sun-len-on-the-dev-host.md, from Every test's scratch goes with it, and a killed run's with the next #529's scratch root.
• quiesce_wakes_on_the_last_park failed with QEMU died before ===READY=== (status 0), red wide and GREEN alone. Its boot log shows the machine rebooting on purpose: test_rs_quiesce_last exits 0, then Syncing filesystems…, stop: 4 of 4 userland thread(s) stopped, Rebooting., all before test-runner's ready marker. That is not a kernel death. --known-red says it is not quarantined.
• quiesce_leaves_the_volume_whole and metal_job_reboot, the two the review asked about, were green in this run. --known-red says neither is quarantined.

The same-session A/B against main awaits disk space. It needs a second worktree, and df -h /Users read 23 GiB free, then 28 GiB, both under the 30 GiB the brief requires. None of the three quiesce/metal reds is adjudicated.

ABI

#525 landed on main at 7345e3fe, taking toyos-abi to 0.13.0, toyos to 0.14.0 and toyos-window to 0.15.0 — the same versions this branch had independently bumped to, which collide. This branch has since merged origin/main (799f94bd) and moved each of the three past main's landed versions to the next free minor: toyos-abi 0.13.0 -> 0.14.0, toyos 0.14.0 -> 0.15.0, toyos-window 0.15.0 -> 0.16.0. Every in-tree pin (toyos/Cargo.toml, userland/toyos-window/Cargo.toml) moved with it, and every tracked lockfile was re-locked with cargo update -w in its own workspace (git diff on each shows only these three crates' version strings moving — no third-party drift). cargo run -- --ci abi-split is green at the head below.

The rust fork

The pin 80ea645f is wt-toyos-layout (pushed). It contains #520's pin 7a809b75, so whichever of #520 and #531 lands second pins a commit that already holds both, or a merge of the two, and never a cherry-pick. It is not based on toyos-inbox's current head f3492d92. That head's aarch64 commits move compiler/ (tree 734f975f against the 7641f053 every pin on main has), and src/sysroot.rs's check_compiler refuses a worktree build over a compiler/ that the primary's compiler was not built from. So that merge waits until the aarch64 compiler change lands and the primary rebuilds. wt-toyos-layout must not be deleted until toyos-inbox contains 80ea645f.

What I am unsure of

• service = true is my spelling of "a system service". filepicker and compositor are marked because they serve machine-wide ports. The render rule now enforces that for every serving row.
• On the direct path, a caller with no launcher now gives its child no HOME at all. No program in the tree relies on the old inheritance: the tests that read HOME are run over ssh or launched.
• The shell's OWN_FOLDER rule compares path components. It answers the same file at stage 1 and stage 2, but it is one small piece of stage-2-aware code in stage 1.

Review of #531 at 1b8d4599, against origin/main at e48604c0.

Readiness. CI run 36254168573: abi-split passed and host was skipped, which is how ci.yml treats a pull request. The body reports layout_fresh_boot at exit 0 and every guest arm with its exit code. No hardware is targeted. Ready for review.

BLOCKER

• userland/init/src/main.rs:1178, rust library/std/src/sys/process/toyos.rs (the routing rule) — HOME comes from init only on the launcher path. A direct SYS_SPAWN hands the child the parent's environment, and std takes that path in three cases: the program is undeclared (Outcome::NotDeclared), the caller holds no launcher, or the caller endowed a handle. So the child of a service inherits /state/<service>. Example: an ssh exec of any undeclared binary (userland/sshd/src/main.rs:238) runs with HOME=/state/sshd, the directory that holds the host private key. Before this branch std overwrote HOME in every process, so this inheritance is new here. It breaks the ruling that locations reach a program only through what init sets. Fix: the direct path carries no HOME that init did not set. Test: an undeclared program started by sshd reports a HOME other than /state/sshd. That test is red today.

• userland/init/src/main.rs:1170-1178 — "overrides whatever a launching caller carried" is untested. Surviving mutation: delete command.env("HOME", &home); from start, and at :368 write start(Command::new(path).env("HOME", self.program.home()), …). Boot-started programs keep their HOME, and test_rs_layout_paths inherits test-runner's. So layout_fresh_boot and every arm in the body stay green. Test that must turn red: sshd launches /system/bin/shell -c 'echo $HOME' and the output must read /home/toy, not /state/sshd.

• tests/toyos-rust-tests/src/bin/layout_paths.rs:83-902 — the walk cannot see a hidden folder, which is half of the ruling. A directory on DATA is in no listing until a file is under it, so an empty dot-directory is invisible to the walk. Surviving mutation: userland/init/src/main.rs:1496 const HOME_FOLDERS: [&str; 9] = [".config", "Apps", …], and layout_fresh_boot stays green. Fix: make the check able to see an empty directory. The straight route is Vfs::list naming created_dirs children, which also closes the filed issue's first bullet. The alternative is for the author to state in the body and in the filed issue that this half is unchecked, and to give it an exit.

• toyos/src/surface.rs:52, userland/shell/src/main.rs:13 — two moves no test pins. layout_fresh_boot boots tests/sshdcase, where neither locale nor the interactive shell writes anything. Two mutations survive every test named in the body:

  • LAYOUT_CONFIG = "/home/toy/.config/keyboard-layout". The locale arms read the constant, so they cannot notice.
  • const HISTORY: &str = ".shell_history";. screen_console_shell saves history and nothing reads where it went.

  Fix: a guest check that asks for /config/keyboard-layout and /home/toy/Apps/shell/State/history by literal path after locale <name> and one shell command have run, with the dotfile walk run over the same boot.

• PR body, "fast tier's three reds" — quiesce_leaves_the_volume_whole and metal_job_reboot are unadjudicated. Both are red when run wide and green when run alone, and --known-red says neither is quarantined. "Green alone" is the load-coincident pattern that CLAUDE.md says is investigated, never re-run away. The merge queue boots no guest, so the reds would enter main unseen. Could they be this diff's? Neither reads a moved path. Both are Metal-profile boots judged on the FAT log volume and on a shutdown bound (WAIT in power.rs, a 20 s drain in volumes.rs), and this branch adds only boot-time mkdirs in init and service = true on logd. So they plausibly are not, but that is not established. Required: a same-session run with the whole fast tier on e48604c0. If main reds the same way, file each red at its owner. If it does not, they are this diff's.

NOTE

• Collision on the published versions. Storage stage 3, steps 1–4: toyos-blockring, SYS_DEVICE_DMA_MAP, blockd and partition sessions #525, Existing Rust GUI apps on ToyOS: iced on one winit backend, paced redraws, forks on one branch per base #528 and Self-update, stage 1: signed A/B slots, ssh … update < image, swap over exec #530 also set toyos to 0.14.0 and toyos-window to 0.15.0, and Storage stage 3, steps 1–4: toyos-blockring, SYS_DEVICE_DMA_MAP, blockd and partition sessions #525 and Self-update, stage 1: signed A/B slots, ssh … update < image, swap over exec #530 also set toyos-abi to 0.13.0. Every side edits the same line to the same value, so git merges it without a conflict. abi-split runs only on the pull request, never in the merge queue. The result would be two different contents published as one version. The second lander must: merge main, move each crate it changed to the next minor (toyos 0.15.0, toyos-window 0.16.0, and toyos-abi 0.14.0 if it touched it), move every pin and lockfile, and re-run cargo run -- --ci abi-split after the merge.

Existing Rust GUI apps on ToyOS: iced on one winit backend, paced redraws, forks on one branch per base #528 asserts that a top-level TTF ships only as the console raster (a_system_font_ships_as_it_is_and_the_console_font_as_its_raster, using Console.ttf). This branch ships every top-level TTF as the file itself, and font_licence panics on Console.ttf. Whichever lands second reds the other's test. The two also put the OFL in different places: share/licenses/ here, share/fonts/ofl.txt there. One route has to go. The one that fits the track is JetBrains Mono under assets/fonts/ through Existing Rust GUI apps on ToyOS: iced on one winit backend, paced redraws, forks on one branch per base #528's add_dir, which makes FONT_LICENCES and its test deletable.
• The rust fork pin. e1acded3 is pushed and is the head of ToyOSOrg/rust wt-toyos-layout, so it is reachable. It is not on toyos-inbox, where every earlier pin on main sits. src/forkcheck.rs contains no written rule about toyos-inbox. The two fork commits are clean: ToyOS files only, and upstream's home_dir shape without the passwd fallback. toyos-inbox has moved to ba6055ac and carries netd, std: the TCP client path holds up — resets, half-close, loss, clients that leave, peers that vanish, replies that flood #520's 7a809b75, so netd, std: the TCP client path holds up — resets, half-close, loss, clients that leave, peers that vanish, replies that flood #520 and this branch conflict on the rust gitlink. Whichever lands second must merge the two fork branches in the fork and pin that merge. wt-toyos-layout must not be deleted until toyos-inbox contains e1acded3.
• Track fidelity. The time zone and the language are ruled machine-wide in /config. No stage owns the time zone at all, and the language appears only as the sys-locale upstream arm. Give them a stage and an exit.
• userland/shell/src/main.rs:13 — the history path breaks at stage 2. Apps/shell/State/history under $HOME assumes stage 1's HOME. Once stage 2 makes the app's HOME /home/toy/Apps/shell, the path becomes …/Apps/shell/Apps/shell/State/history. Stage 2's exit should name this line.
• issues/build/sshd-fail-closed-assumes-a-home-no-earlier-boot-of-its-lane-wrote.md — its exit is already met. tests/common/qemu.rs:3003 gives every boot that names no image a blank DATA volume. Close the issue rather than reword it.
• toyos-abi, toyos and toyos-window doc lines — corrected, although the owner ruled deletion. The deleted issue's exit condition said "deleted rather than corrected, per the owner's rule on wrong prose". The owner has to accept this deviation. The branch should not decide it alone.
• userland/init/src/main.rs:1511-1516 — the error line is misleading. When a folder fails after /home/toy was made, init still reports "no session home".
• Unmarked rows get the session home. toyos-manifest USER and service are correct for stage 1. A row missing service = true (for example sshd in a new config) silently puts machine keys in the user's home, and nothing in the build refuses that.
• The independent oracle is thin, as the body admits: the ruling is the test's author's own reading of it. It is acceptable for the layout. It does not cover the HOME propagation above.
• One command of mine was not read-only. It invoked cargo run -- --known-red, which may have compiled toyos-build. The tree is unchanged.

REMOVE

• issues/filesystem/where-everything-lives.md:34-35 — "A third-party program that hard-codes ~/.something may still create one, but only inside its own app folder." The ruling says no dotfile anywhere, and this sentence softens it.
• issues/filesystem/where-everything-lives.md:18 — "signed". ROOT is not signed.
• issues/filesystem/where-everything-lives.md:20 — "a file here overrides /system/etc". The owner did not rule this and nothing implements it.
• issues/filesystem/where-everything-lives.md:50-51 — "and per-user overrides come with the users track". The ruling says machine-wide.
• issues/filesystem/where-everything-lives.md:54 — "An app finds its own files next to its binary (current_exe())." The owner did not rule this.
• NOTICE:164-165, src/assets.rs:528-529 and :550-551 — "where fontdb and fontique look" and "where the toolkits look". Neither looks anywhere on ToyOS until the upstream arms open.
• tests/toyos-rust-tests/src/bin/layout_paths.rs:837-838 — "so a folder added to one reds here". This is false for a folder added to init's list, as the BLOCKER above shows.

SEND BACK

[Japabu]

Answer to the review of 1b8d4599. The head is now 542f00ed, and the rust pin is 80ea645f.

BLOCKERs

1. The direct path's HOME. init answers MSG_NOT_DECLARED with the session's HOME, and std's direct spawn carries only a HOME its caller named or one init answered, never its own. I chose to have init decide over refusing the spawn, and the body gives the reasons against the isolation track. test_rs_layout_paths is undeclared, so sshd spawns it directly, and it must read /home/toy. With the whole routing reverted (fork 957f1426 reversed, launch.rs at base, init's bare signal), the test exits 1 with HOME is Ok("/state/sshd"). At head it exits 0.
2. init's override. Over ssh, shell -c 'echo $HOME' must print /home/toy. Your mutation (the env line deleted from start, and the boot path given HOME at its call site) exits 1 with a launched shell's HOME is "/state/sshd\n".
3. Hidden empty directories. Vfs::list now names the directories created_dirs carries, and /home/toy and /state are asserted as exact listings. Your ".config" mutation exits 1, both on the exact listing and with a dotfile … ["/home/toy/.config"]. With the kernel change reverted the test exits 1 on the listings, and kernel-reverted plus .config shows no dotfile line: that is your finding, reproduced.
4. The layout and history paths. Over ssh, locale de runs and an interactive shell runs one line, and the judge reads both files by literal path. LAYOUT_CONFIG → /home/toy/.config/… exits 1. History → .shell_history exits 1, with OWN_FOLDER deleted with it so the mutated tree builds; the first attempt did not build and was discarded.
5. The fast tier. The A/B against main awaits disk space: df read 23 GiB, then 28 GiB, under the 30 GiB required. I ran the fast tier once at 542f00ed: exit 1, 396 passed. The reds were lan_mdns_answer (the SUN_LEN issue, already filed) and quiesce_wakes_on_the_last_park: red wide, green alone, and a deliberate reboot before the ready marker. quiesce_leaves_the_volume_whole and metal_job_reboot were green in this run. --known-red says none of the four is quarantined.

NOTEs

• A row that serves a port without service = true is refused at render, and every config is rendered on the host. sshd serves nothing, so the build cannot classify it.
• The history path no longer doubles (OWN_FOLDER), and stage 2's exit names it.
• The sshd fail-closed issue is closed (deleted).
• I kept the SDK doc correction, and the body flags that the owner's rule said to delete them.
• Existing Rust GUI apps on ToyOS: iced on one winit backend, paced redraws, forks on one branch per base #528: this branch no longer touches src/assets.rs or NOTICE. Neither lander has to change those files. The track's stage 6 owns moving Existing Rust GUI apps on ToyOS: iced on one winit backend, paced redraws, forks on one branch per base #528's OFL to /system/share/licenses and shipping JetBrains Mono as a file.
• The fork pin is a merge of netd, std: the TCP client path holds up — resets, half-close, loss, clients that leave, peers that vanish, replies that flood #520's 7a809b75, not toyos-inbox's head f3492d92, because that head moves compiler/, which check_compiler refuses.
• The misleading error line is fixed.
• The five fidelity lines stay, cited as the owner's rulings. The time-zone and language stages are added, each with an exit.
• Storage stage 3, steps 1–4: toyos-blockring, SYS_DEVICE_DMA_MAP, blockd and partition sessions #525 is still open, so the version bump is pending.

REMOVE: the lines in NOTICE and src/assets.rs are gone (both files are back to main's), and so is the layout_paths line. I did not remove the track lines: the orchestrator ruled them owner-approved.

Merged origin/main (#525 landed at 7345e3fe) into this branch at 799f94bd, resolving conflicts in issues/filesystem/storage-is-layers-and-a-role-is-a-filesystem.md (took main's userland-file-server rewrite plus this branch's DATA-role and paths-doc-pointer edits) and in tests/toyos-rust-tests/Cargo.lock / userland/Cargo.lock (took main's side, then re-locked). Bumped the three published SDK crates this branch changes past main's already-landed versions, since both landed on the same numbers: toyos-abi 0.13.0 -> 0.14.0, toyos 0.14.0 -> 0.15.0, toyos-window 0.15.0 -> 0.16.0, moved every in-tree pin, and re-ran cargo update -w in each tracked lockfile's own workspace (Cargo.lock, bootloader/Cargo.lock, kernel/Cargo.lock, tests/ssh-client-host/Cargo.lock, tests/toyos-rust-tests/Cargo.lock, toyos/Cargo.lock, userland/Cargo.lock, userland/libc/Cargo.lock) — git diff on each shows only these three crates' version strings moving, no third-party drift. Deleted the 26 SDK doc lines this branch had corrected (/bin/x -> /system/bin/x) instead of correcting them, per the owner's rule recorded in the now-deleted twenty-seven-sdk-doc-lines-name-a-path-that-is-gone issue: each sentence now names the program alone (`init`, `logd`, `toybox`, `ps`, `sshd`, `ls`, `terminal`, `console`), with no path. cargo doc --no-deps still builds clean on toyos-abi, toyos and userland/toyos-window (only pre-existing, unrelated warnings). Gates at head fd454902: cargo run -- --ci abi-split exit 0 (bumped: toyos-abi 0.13.0 -> 0.14.0, toyos 0.14.0 -> 0.15.0, toyos-window 0.15.0 -> 0.16.0); cargo run -- --ci host exit 0 (43 steps, all green); cargo test --test toyos-build -- layout_fresh_boot exit 0 (PASS, 98.5s).

Round-1 BLOCKERs closed and judged at 542f00e (HOME decided by init on every spawn path, the override pinned by an ssh echo, empty dot-folders seen via a kernel listing fix, keyboard-layout and history paths pinned, each red under its mutation); final round fd45490 takes toyos-abi 0.14.0 / toyos 0.15.0 / toyos-window 0.16.0 after #525 and deletes the 26 stale SDK doc paths. --ci host, abi-split and layout_fresh_boot exit 0. Landing.
