🗺️ Development Phases (1-20) — Master Tracking Issue

[j33pguy]

33-Linux Development Phases

Each phase = one focused session, one PR. Rate-limit friendly.

Core Infrastructure

• Phase 1: Docs & README ✅ PR docs: comprehensive documentation — architecture, security, chunking, cloud, roadmap #1
• Phase 2: gated scaffold — Ring 2 gateway proto definitions + service skeleton
• Phase 3: gated logic — request validation, deserialization, rebuild, routing
• Phase 4: SO_PEERCRED verification — per-ring Unix socket permissions, caller identity checks
• Phase 5: Ring isolation in initd — separate sockets per ring, module process separation

Chunking & Storage

• Phase 6: FastCDC implementation — pure Go content-defined chunking, gear hash, no external deps
• Phase 7: Per-chunk encryption pipeline — filed → cryptd integration, AES-256-GCM per chunk
• Phase 8: Manifest system — create, store, list file versions, manifest schema
• Phase 9: Rollback & GC — manifest rollback, chunk garbage collection, retention policies
• Phase 10: Storage integration — end-to-end: file → chunk → encrypt → queue → manifest

Auth & Hardware

• Phase 11: YubiKey FIDO2 — hardware auth integration, challenge-response login
• Phase 12: TPM2 key sealing — seal/unseal master key to PCR values, graceful fallback without TPM
• Phase 13: Dual-factor boot flow — TPM + YubiKey → unseal master key → derive session keys
• Phase 14: Auth overhaul — replace hardcoded admin/admin with real credential system

Cloud Backend

• Phase 15: Server scaffold — Go monolith, auth service, blob store, manifest store
• Phase 16: Sync protocol — chunk upload/download, manifest sync, dedup (HEAD check)
• Phase 17: Offline queue drain — netd implementation, conflict resolution, retry logic

Desktop & Image

• Phase 18: Wayland compositor — cage/labwc kiosk mode, display integration
• Phase 19: Browser in LXC — Chromium containerized, DevTools stripped, Wayland socket passthrough
• Phase 20: Bootable Pi image — build pipeline, ARM64 squashfs, SD card flashable image

---

Pace: 2-3 phases per day max. Quality over speed.
Each phase: Branch → implement → test → PR → merge.
Timeline: ~6-8 weeks for all 20 phases.
