From ecd522b4cd36ec2d7e2fa72e0efc1d7202516691 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sam & Claude Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 23:44:48 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Clawdie Shell specification v0.9.0-rc1 Core documentation: - CLAWDIE-SHELL.md: Main specification (overview, features, philosophy) - SHELL-ARCHITECTURE.md: Modular shell design (5 libraries, patterns) - LUMINA-INTEGRATION.md: Desktop configuration (luminarc, openbox) - ADMIN-PANEL.md: bsddialog UI specification (system management) - REFACTOR-SUMMARY.md: Transition from multi-DE to Lumina-only Philosophy: Standing on giants' shoulders - FreeBSD (ZFS, jails, rc.d, stability) - PC-BSD (Lumina desktop, installer wisdom) - POSIX shell (portability, simplicity, no VM overhead) Updated .gitignore to exclude build artifacts. Updated README.md with Clawdie Shell branding. All dates in 23.mar.2026 format (user preference).
