A Rust virtual OS console for operators who want control.

phase1 is a terminal-first advanced operator kernel: a Rust-built virtual OS console with a simulated kernel, VFS, process table, audit log, guarded browser, in-system wiki, runtime roadmap, and safe-by-default shell.

This browser demo is intentionally simulated, but it mirrors the product feel: command-first, transparent, inspectable, and secure by default.

operator-grade foundation
Everything feels like a console. Everything is designed to be inspectable.
01 · kernel
Kernel simulation
Boot profiles, virtual processes, /proc, PCIe flavor, CR3/CR4 commands, and audit records for operator visibility.
02 · vfs
Virtual filesystem
A terminal-native VFS with files, docs, editors, runtime state, and a safer place to practice OS-style workflows.
03 · safety
Guarded host bridge
Host-backed tools stay behind safe-mode and explicit trust gates so the default posture is private and contained.
04 · browser
Terminal browser
Guarded browser and network inspection ideas are built around clarity, not hidden background behavior.
05 · runtimes
Runtime roadmap
Language support, storage, Git, Rust workflows, and future runtime shells are being designed with capability metadata and limits.
06 · docs
Wiki-first learning
In-system manual pages plus a public Wiki Hub make phase1 teachable, searchable, and friendly for contributors.

    
website roadmap
From landing page to full public front door.
The website roadmap turns GitHub Pages into the main public home for phase1: homepage, wiki, docs navigation, visual demos, releases, contributors, quality notes, and sponsorship.
  1. Phase A · launched
    Homepage identity
    README-banner identity, official phase1 logo, founder profile, Bryforge company section, sponsor CTA, GitHub links, SEO, and deploy workflow.
  2. Phase B · in progress
    Wiki content on the site
    Bring Quick Start, Boot Profiles, Command Map, Files/VFS, Browser Safety, Language Runtime Support, Updates, Troubleshooting, Tutorials, Sponsorship, and Bryforge into web pages.
  3. Phase C · planned
    Docs navigation and search
    Persistent docs sidebar, mobile docs drawer, page-local table of contents, previous/next links, keyboard-friendly search, and command metadata cards.
