With the shared device data (device-abi, pci-class, usb-abi, usb-ids, acpi-ids,
aml) now in library/device/, what remained in system/devices/ was purely
kernel-internal: the firmware-discovery machinery and the rich pointer-based
device model (platform, device-model, acpi, device-tree, power), reached only
through the "platform" module by three kernel files. It belongs with the kernel.
Move it to system/kernel/devices/. A pure relocation: the "platform" module
name is unchanged and every cross-dir dependency is a module import, so only the
one b.path and some comments move. The top-level split is now clean —
system/kernel/ is the kernel, library/device/ the shared device libraries,
system/{drivers,services} the userspace. The runtime /system/devices concept
(the virtual device tree) is unaffected; system/kernel/devices/ is its
implementation.
Also fixes two comment refs that still pointed device-abi at its pre-Wave-1a
home (system/devices/) — it lives at library/device/model/ now.
zig build + test green; smoke, discovery, acpi-parse, acpi-ps2, acpi-report pass.
system.img was only mentioned in passing (efi.md, system-requirements.md);
its format, builder, fallback chain, and kernel-side life were spread across
pack-system-image.py, build.zig, efi.zig, initial-ramdisk.zig, and vfs.zig.
New dedicated page covers all of it, cross-linked from every prior mention
and added to the docs index.
Every doc verified claim-by-claim against the code by parallel audit agents,
then fixed and adversarially re-verified. Two waves of staleness corrected:
the originally audited findings (higher-half boot handoff, kernel VFS
takeover, fault isolation + claim release + driver restart, AML/S5 moving to
ring 3, threading's shipped design, USB+FAT landing) and a second pass of
adjacent claims the verifiers caught (smp.md 'not built yet' intro,
system-requirements' PS/2-only and no-storage claims, halting.md's red-panic
and no-IDT text, testing.md's serial mirroring, router-era vfs-protocol
wording, capsule-first boot loading).
threading.md now documents the shared-fate gap explicitly: the design says a
process dies whole, the kernel today kills only the offending thread.
Also fixes three stale code comments (isr.s exceptionHandler, acpi.zig
sleepValue, build.zig boot-volume) — comments only, no behavior change.
