Closes #236

What / why

Lands the platform's canonical living architecture document as docs/architecture.md (foundation-strengthening item PR-EOS-8, Aswin's named deliverable): the first full draft written 2026-11-01 from the eos coherency review, replacing the 8.6 KB overview with the verified present/planned document. Part I (§1–§9) is present state only — what was verified from code and documents named in the Verification notes appendix. Part II (§10) is planned state, every item carrying a [PLANNED — source: …] marker. MCP is recorded as NOT implemented in eos (no server, no server.json, no MCP code path), not claimed. The existing mkdocs nav slot (Architecture: architecture.md) is unchanged; the README Getting started list gains one cross-link bullet.

Draft landed verbatim at first commit (37,317 B, including its DRAFT banner — this PR is the review it asks for); head is 40,026 B after the second-look corrections (DRAFT banner stripped, claims corrected, registry path fixed). Spot-checked against post-snapshot master (eb5bcfc): no draft claim is contradicted by the Nov 2–3 landings (funding.json #230, readdir fix #229 touch neither the structural claims nor the MQTT/MCP status lines — MQTT publish/subscribe still return -1 per TODO(#199 slice 3), and #199 stays under the multi-look HOLD).

Seam + journey stage

Choosing / building (stages 1–3): a developer choosing eos currently finds no honest map of the two halves (RTOS framework + build/system tool); this document is that map, with present and planned state kept visibly apart.

Declarations

Contract-change: no. Architecture-impact: yes — this PR is itself the architecture document; no separate delta PR is needed (plan-core: an Architecture-impact: yes PR in eos carries its delta in the same PR).

CI status

Docs-only change; CI on this PR is the verification gate and must be green before any merge (next-day review).

Refs: foundation plan briefs/2026-11-01-foundation-eos.md PR-EOS-8.

Summary by Sourcery

Establish the canonical, evidence-based living architecture reference for EoS while clearly separating implemented behavior from planned work.

New Features:

  • Add a canonical living architecture document that maps EoS's RTOS framework and build/system tool, distinguishes verified present state from explicitly sourced planned state, and records system boundaries, contracts, integrations, maturity, and verification notes.

Enhancements:

  • Link the new architecture document from the README documentation list.

Documentation:

  • Replace the previous build-tool-focused architecture overview with a comprehensive, evidence-based architecture reference covering current capabilities, known gaps, external integration seams, and future proposals.

Chores:

  • Update the generated full LLM documentation snapshot to include the expanded architecture content.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added a README link to the architecture guide.
    • Reworked the guide to distinguish code-verified current behavior from planned work, and documented verification sources and scope limits.
    • Described the RTOS framework and build/system tool, including their configuration, components, interfaces, testing, and repository connections.
    • Recorded implementation maturity, known defects, configuration counts, and verification gaps; Linux and hybrid pipelines remain partial or planned.
    • Updated the full-text documentation with the revised architecture account and its present-state and planned-state distinctions.

RetriggerView in GreptileConfidence Score: 5/5

The documentation changes appear safe to merge.

Summary

Replaces the build-tool-only overview with a living architecture document covering both the RTOS framework and build tool.

  • The architecture guide maps both halves of EoS and marks planned work separately.

All four previous findings are addressed. No new actionable issues were found. Builds and tests were not run.

Walkthrough

The pull request links the README to docs/architecture.md and replaces the earlier architecture overviews in that document and llms-full.txt with descriptions of current implementation, verification limits, and sourced planned work.

Changes: Architecture Documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Architecture snapshot
README.md, docs/architecture.md, llms-full.txt
The README links to the architecture document. The documents describe EoS’s RTOS framework and build/system tool, their configuration, components, APIs, implementation limits, and contract defects.
Integrations and validation scope
docs/architecture.md
The document describes satellite-repository connections and records the documented test, CI, examples, and documentation structure and limits.
Planned state and verification sources
docs/architecture.md, llms-full.txt
The documents distinguish sourced planned work from present state and list verification sources and areas not verified.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Before / after behavior

  • observed — Modified behavior in README.md: Adds a link to docs/architecture.md with a description of its role and update scope.
  • observed — Modified behavior in docs/architecture.md: The previous high-level overview, pipeline descriptions, module tables, graph claims, and YAML configuration examples are replaced by a two-part, evidence-qualified architecture account. It distinguishes Half A’s RTOS libraries from Half B’s build tool, documents their separate configuration paths, and describes current components and implementation limits. The replacement also records API maturity and defects, integration evidence, verification scope, and explicitly sourced planned work rather than presenting proposed pipelines or features as implemented.
  • observed — Modified behavior in llms-full.txt: Replaces the previous concise build-system overview and its stated Linux, RTOS, and hybrid pipelines, component breakdowns, config examples, graph types, and design principles with a repository snapshot that separates verified present state from sourced plans. The new document describes EoS’s separately configured RTOS-framework and build-tool halves; their build targets, configuration, API surfaces, maturity, and known defects; satellite-repository attachment evidence; and testing, examples, and documentation. It identifies Linux and hybrid image building as scaffold/partial, RTOS firmware as the real pipeline, and incomplete Linux/hybrid image work and other proposals as planned rather than implemented.

High-Level Assessment

A single document in the existing MkDocs architecture slot is appropriate: it gives readers one map of both halves while visibly separating evidence from intent. Splitting present and planned architecture into separate pages would make that distinction harder to maintain together.

Action required

1. Firmware linker script is missing 🔗
Description
Section 8.1 says ebuild generates eboot_linker.ld for an eos app to select with
EOS_LINKER_SCRIPT, but ebuild generates eboot_memory.ld instead and eos does not use that CMake
variable. Following this documented ebuild-to-eos path leaves the named script unavailable and does
not establish the intended slot placement.
Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The canonical guide names a linker artifact ebuild does not generate and a CMake setting eos does not consume.
## Fix Focus Areas
- docs/architecture.md[377-384]
- docs/integration-guide.md[114-132]
## Recommended Fix
Correct the artifact name and describe an integration path that actually passes ebuild's generated memory fragment to the eos linker. Coordinate any required build wiring with ebuild.

2. Some public peripherals remain stubbed 🐞
Description
Section 4 says hal_common.c dispatches every public HAL call to a registered backend, but several
public calls return fixed values without consulting one. Applications using UART receive callbacks,
I²C register helpers, timer counts, or interrupt registration cannot enable those operations merely
by registering a backend.
Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The HAL section overstates backend dispatch coverage for public calls that remain stubs.
## Fix Focus Areas
- docs/architecture.md[173-176]
## Recommended Fix
Qualify the dispatch statement and enumerate the public HAL calls that are still fixed-value stubs, distinguishing them from the separately documented extended-peripheral stubs.

3. Kernel callers may miss distinct errors 🐞
Description
The contract-conventions paragraph describes RTOS-half returns as 0/-1, but the public kernel
API defines additional negative status codes. Kernel callers handling only the documented pair would
conflate timeout, full, empty, invalid, and allocation-failure results with generic errors.
Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The architecture reduces all RTOS-half return conventions to zero and minus one, omitting public kernel status codes.
## Fix Focus Areas
- docs/architecture.md[296-300]
## Recommended Fix
Describe `0`/`-1` as a pattern for some APIs, and explicitly note the kernel's `EOS_KERN_*` results and their distinct failure meanings.

4. Firmware signing guidance fails 🔗
Description
Section 8.1 identifies eBoot’s tools/sign_image.py as the signing step for the eos app described
in the linked integration guide, but that tool requires an already-headered image and rejects the
guide’s raw-binary command options. Following that flow fails before producing a bootable signed
image; eBoot’s tools/eos_sign.py is the tool that packages and signs a raw firmware binary.
Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The newly canonical architecture text endorses a raw-firmware signing flow that the current eBoot signing tool cannot perform.
## Fix Focus Areas
- docs/architecture.md[377-384]
- docs/integration-guide.md[134-150]
## Recommended Fix
Update the architecture and linked guide to use eBoot's current raw-image packaging and signing command, or specify the prerequisite image-header creation and supported sign_image.py arguments.

5. Developers are sent to the wrong config 🐞
Description
The packages row calls build.yaml the project entry point without distinguishing it from the

eos_config_load, while the root build.yaml is the separate ebuild recipe described later in the
document.
Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The packages row presents the ebuild recipe as an undifferentiated project entry point for the build tool.
## Fix Focus Areas
- docs/architecture.md[211-211]
- docs/architecture.md[395-400]
## Recommended Fix
Identify `eos.yaml` as the native CLI's default project configuration and label the root `build.yaml` specifically as the ebuild entry point.

**Linux image pipeline is a scaffold**

When a user relies on the present-state description to build a deployable Linux system, a developer following this description expects a usable Linux image, but the kernel step skips the build, the rootfs step creates a directory skeleton without installing packages, and raw-image creation only creates an empty file with best-effort partitioning. The pipeline can report success without producing a bootable system.

Mark the Linux pipeline as scaffolded and identify which stages are placeholders until they produce and validate a bootable image.

Also at `docs/architecture.md:212`.

`backends/src/backend.c`; leave the rest of the entry unchanged.
- Line 312: Reconcile the networking maturity claims in this architecture table
with the `Planned` classification in `STATUS.md` and `README.md`. Preserve the
table’s narrower host-socket and MQTT implementation details, and either record
the status drift there or update the authoritative status documents so the
claims agree.
- Around line 278-280: Update the API-layer anchor description for eos to avoid
presenting its public C headers as stable or versioned; describe them as the de
facto public surface or qualify stability and versioning as an intended role,
consistent with the stated absence of repository policies and guarantees.
- Line 318: Update the experimental-status row in the architecture table to
limit test-evidence claims to surfaces documented in STATUS.md. Split the row by
surface and cite the corresponding evidence, or mark surfaces without documented
test evidence as unassessed; do not imply tests exist for unlisted surfaces.

literal pipe characters no longer split the Markdown table cells; replace them
with commas or escape them, preserving the three-column row.
- Line 115: Update the Platform backend row in the architecture table to
distinguish root-build sources from tree-only sources: list hal_common.c,
hal_extended_stubs.c, and the selected platform HAL as root-built, and mark
hal/src/hal_stm32f4/* and hal/src/backends/* as uncompiled tree sources.
- Line 211: Update the Packages row to identify eos.yaml as the project entry

Separate root-built HAL sources from tree-only sources.

This table is introduced as the root build target inventory. The root CMakeLists.txt adds only hal_common.c, hal_extended_stubs.c, and one of hal_linux.c, hal_win32.c, or hal_rtos.c. It does not add hal/src/hal_stm32f4/* or hal/src/backends/*. Mark those paths as separate, uncompiled tree sources. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Name eos.yaml as the project entry point in the Packages row.

The Packages row names build.yaml as the root project entry point. The eos CLI reads eos.yaml by default (cmd/eos/main.c:23, :149), and the getting-started guide tells users to create eos.yaml (docs/getting-started.md:35). build.yaml is the ebuild descriptor for this repository (schemas/README.md:31). A reader who follows the row looks for the wrong project file.

Correct the statements that the repo has no versioning or deprecation policy.

docs/api-release-process.md defines SemVer version rules and a deprecation policy. The sentences at docs/architecture.md:321-325 and the §7.1 sentence "no published stability policy in the repo" state the opposite. Update them to match the release process document.

Loop review (acting owner, 2026-11-06) — HELD with findings from the merge-train review + the testing team's clean-context second look. The doc's verified core checks out (MQTT publish/subscribe still return -1, no MCP surface in eos, counts, two-halves layout, Part II [PLANNED] markers, README link + mkdocs nav slot), but three present-state claims are contradicted by live master, plus two process gaps. Each finding below was verified against master @ 39aab4f by reading the code, not from the draft.

BLOCKING — §1, lines 44-46: "Both halves are configured by the same product/board selection." False as a shared seam. Code search on master: EOS_PRODUCT has 0 hits in core/, backends/, cmd/, systems/, pkg/; boards has 0 hits in core/; boards/ references repo-wide are only in docs, AGENTS.md, README.md, STATUS.md, scripts/*.sh, sim/*.yaml — no half-B code loads boards/*.yaml. EOS_PRODUCT is a half-A CMake definition only (root CMakeLists.txt add_compile_definitions(EOS_PRODUCT_...)). Rewrite the seam as what it is (half A selects a product profile; half B takes target/board config through its own path) or move the claim to planned state.

BLOCKING — §5 Systems row, line 212: Linux pipeline "kernel → rootfs → image" and Hybrid "Linux phase + one firmware phase per RTOS target, then combine". The Linux pipeline does not work as described on master: systems/src/image.c eos_system_build_kernel() warns "Kernel build requires kernel source tree — skipping in scaffold" / "Buildroot integration not yet implemented" and still returns EOS_OK; the RAW case creates only an empty zero-filled file plus a partition table — no kernel or rootfs is written into it; systems/src/rootfs.c builds only an FHS skeleton + hostname/fstab (no packages); systems/src/firmware.c eos_hybrid_build() runs the Linux phase then one firmware phase per target and returns — there is no combine step (0 "combin" mentions in the file). The RTOS firmware phase itself is real. Restate as scaffold/partial with the gaps named, or move the working pipeline to planned state.

BLOCKING — §8.3–8.4, lines 417, 428-437: AI bridge presented as present-state eIPC transport. Master layers/ai/src/eos_ai.c: eos_ai_send_intent() returns EOS_AI_OK having sent nothing (comment: "In full build: eni_eipc_bridge_send_intent(...); This stub ..."); eos_ai_send_tool_request() likewise returns EOS_AI_OK with args discarded; eos_ai_receive_result() writes buf[0] = '\0' and returns EOS_AI_OK. A success-returning no-op bridge must not sit in a "present state (verified)" part as the live eIPC attachment between ENI and EAI — label it API scaffolding, with the working connection in planned state.

BLOCKING — llms-full.txt not updated. Its header says "It is generated by hand from the sources — when a source doc changes, update this file in the same commit", and it lists docs/architecture.md as a source; the new doc's §9 (line 498) repeats the rule. This PR touches only docs/architecture.md + README.md, so after merge the agent-facing corpus would still serve the old Half-B-only overview ("EoS is a developer-first embedded build system...") that §2 says this document replaces. Update the architecture section of llms-full.txt in this PR.

BLOCKING — Linked Issue policy red on head b3b3d91 (4×). The PR body carries no closing-issue reference (only Refs: foundation plan briefs/...). The body's own rule ("CI ... must be green before any merge") is unmet. This is a foundation item with no GitHub issue; file one for PR-EOS-8 and link it (Closes #N) so the policy turns green — the same fix the loop applied to #231/#233 today.

Advisory — DRAFT banner (lines 3-6) lands verbatim into master, where "proposed" and "for review" become stale the moment it merges; strip or reword it as part of this PR. Advisory — line 486: "CI is 18 workflows" vs 20 .yml files in master .github/workflows/; the count is exactly 18 only after excluding auto-assign.yml and linked-issue.yml — name that exclusion.

Disposition: the writer fixes the three claims, the llms-full.txt update, the banner, the count note, and the issue link on this branch; the PR returns to the next merge train with fresh review + a clean-context second look. No merge today. Loop review, 2026-11-06.

Mark descriptor-based selection as planned

Section 6 says board descriptors select build facts today. A reader can therefore expect a board YAML file to configure memory, peripherals and the toolchain. Neither configuration path does that. State that the files record those facts and that selection is planned. Mirror the correction in llms-full.txt.

Suggested fix

-- A descriptor selects memory/peripheral/toolchain facts at
-  configure time. **It is not a port and not hardware
+- Descriptors record board facts. Neither configuration path
+  selects these facts from the YAML files today. **A descriptor
+  is not a port and not hardware
   validation**: no board has been observed to boot

Clean-context second look on #232 (2026-11-07) found one blocking
defect: docs/architecture.md:211 cited backends/src/Backend.c, which
does not exist (404 on master); the registry is backends/src/backend.c
(lowercase; g_backends registry, eos_backend_register, eos_backend_find
verified on master). One-word correction in both docs/architecture.md
and llms-full.txt (which mirror each other). No other change.

Loop merge train 2026-11-07 — clean-context second look: FAIL (narrow, one blocking defect).

B1 (blocking, fixed on branch in c02db55): §5 cited backends/src/Backend.c, which does not exist (404 on master). The registry is backends/src/backend.c (lowercase; g_backends registry, eos_backend_register, eos_backend_find verified on master). One-word correction in both docs/architecture.md:211 and llms-full.txt:672. Verified independently by the merge train before applying.

Everything else passed the second look: §1 shared-selection claim, §5 scaffold row, §8.4 AI-bridge stubs, CI/workflow counts (18 of 20), board/product/example counts, the full §7 contract truth table, §8 satellite sections, MCP absence — all verified against live master at 2f932f0. llms-full.txt architecture section is byte-identical to the doc. Closes #236 is the right issue.

Advisories (fixed in the PR body, no code change): A1 — old overview is 8,608 B (8.6 KB), not 7.5 KB; A2 — head doc is 40,026 B, not 37,317 B at first commit. Both figures corrected in the body.

Head moved, so this PR returns to the 2026-11-08 merge train with fresh review + second look once CI on c02db55 is green. Merge-train premise review: pass (claims verified vs live master; llms-full embedding differs from the doc only by surrounding blank lines).

#236 Architecture document (foundation PR-EOS-8): land the canonical living document · 4 of 7 met · 2 to check by hand

# Requirement Status Notes
1 Land docs/architecture.md as the canonical living architecture document, replacing the build-tool-only overview and including verification notes. ✅ Met The new document covers both halves and includes a verification-notes appendix.
2 Part I documents verified present state, including the two halves, their seams and gaps, configuration, APIs, satellite-repo attachments, and testing, examples, and docs. ✅ Met
3 Part II marks each planned item with a source marker naming the eos document it comes from. 🟡 Partly met The MCP item is marked planned, but its source is described as org direction outside eos rather than an eos document.
4 Keep the full corrected document text in the docs/architecture.md section of llms-full.txt. ✅ Met The sampled present-state, planned-state, and appendix text matches the architecture document.
5 Add a README cross-link and update the living document by PR when architecture-level changes land. ✅ Met The README links to the document, which states the PR update practice.
6 Complete the next-day live-master premise check and full-diff review before merge. 👀 Check by hand (manual process) Confirm the next-day review checked the document against live master and reviewed the full diff before merge.
7 Have green CI on the PR before merge. 👀 Check by hand (external system) Confirm the PR's CI checks are green before merge.

⚪ Low · MCP source is external

The MCP planned-state marker cites org direction recorded outside eos, not an eos document as the issue requires. Cite an eos source document or present the MCP absence as present-state information rather than a planned item.

Merge train 2026-11-08 — second look FAIL (narrow, B1 only). Everything else in the second look passed: the §5 registry path fix is verified (backends/src/backend.c exists on master, Backend.c 404s), the head size 40,026 B and old overview 8,608 B check out, CI is green and the Linked Issue policy is SUCCESS at c02db55.

B1 (blocking): wrong line count in gap G-2. docs/architecture.md:343 (and the matching llms-full.txt architecture section) says services/gps/include/eos/gps_nmea.h is "47 lines"; the file on master is 48 lines (1,188 B, verified via the contents API). The paired claim is correct (drivers/include/eos/gps_nmea.h is 15 lines). One-number fix in both files.

HELD under the G7 2-cycle cap — no third fix cycle today. The fix (47 → 48 in docs/architecture.md and llms-full.txt) goes on this branch for the 2026-11-09 train, with a fresh review + second look then.

Second-look finding B1 on PR #232: services/gps/include/eos/gps_nmea.h
is 48 lines (verified on head c02db55), not 47 as the G-2 entry
stated. drivers header verified 15 lines (unchanged). Fixes
architecture.md:343 and llms-full.txt:804.

Fix applied for second-look finding B1 (comment 6725894746): services/gps/include/eos/gps_nmea.h verified 48 lines on head c02db55 (drivers header verified 15 lines, unchanged). Commit d685efb corrects 47 -> 48 in docs/architecture.md:343 and llms-full.txt:804 (single occurrence each, byte-verified). Returns to the 2026-11-09 merge train for fresh review + second look.

Premise: pass — canonical living architecture document lands; G-2 duplicate-GPS-API entry verified vs live master (services gps_nmea.h 48 lines, drivers 15 lines, both layouts as stated); spot-checks G-1 guards, MQTT stubs, MCP absence, HAL line counts all verified.
Contract: n/a — docs-only (docs/architecture.md, llms-full.txt, README cross-link). Architecture-impact: yes — this PR IS the eos docs/architecture.md delta.
CI: green @ d685efb (all build/test/cross-compile/QEMU/static-analysis/CodeQL success; policy success).
Integration: Integration-unverified: infra — nightly Unified Build run 42554104710 red on artifact-storage quota (infra), not test failures.
Reviewer: loop run 2026-11-09
Second look: pass (B1 fix verified: 47→48 in both files, exact +1/−1 diff; 5 spot-checks verified).
