The /loop work list for the committed design set: Phase 0 baseline, PM
(unix-path flag-day), H1 copy discipline, P1 envelope + Channel, P2
registry + ServiceId retirement, P3 open grants, P4a-c protocol rebase,
H2 SMEP, HS sysret guard, H3 SMAP. Ten settled decisions from the
2026-07-31 grounding pass, two corrected on review: every packet carries
the envelope header folded (headerless events rejected), and bind/open
authorization is chain-attested identity (name alone rejected — ungated
spawn makes it a confused deputy). smep-smap.md gains the verified
straggler table: nine syscalls, klog_status the ninth, with the
callee-writer restructuring notes.
The security-track design set. communication.md is the model: four layers
(namespace / protocol / channel / transport), packets and signals, parties
addressed by the channel and objects by target, transports as replaceable
buffer+doorbell mechanisms. protocol-namespace.md is L3+L2: /protocol names
contracts, resolution establishes a channel, init is the registrar,
restriction is per-process namespace delegation (with the microphone-prompt
worked example), the envelope is the universal packet header, migration
P1-P5 retires ServiceId. file-system-hierarchy.md replaces the unix-FHS
spec with the danos-native tree (/applications, /protocol, /system,
/volumes) and its migration table. ipc.md is re-cut as the kernel-ipc
transport document. smep-smap.md designs the kernel hardening: copy
discipline for the eight raw user-pointer syscalls, then SMEP, then SMAP
as a permanent tripwire.
