Grove sigil

You light kindling, not the log.

Grove is the front door of a pink, offline-first terminal ecosystem: firmware we write, a screen lock that seals the glass, a house with readable walls — no cloud, no telemetry, no blobs you cannot rebuild.

The fire — Kindling

x86_64 firmware + kernel we write. Phase 1 green (own page tables, cup-stack); phase 2 shut. Missing syscalls return ENOSYS — silent success is a lie. repo

The house — readable walls

Bulwark — host ward

The suite — faeOS

menagerie models

Pink offline-first terminal ecosystem: framed status prompt, local agent, music vessel, haiku bard, history, network weaves, private search. Source-only kit — engines build on your machine.

ElegantVW/faeOS

The canopy — Grove

One person, one office box, one column of software. Everything here runs on the machine in front of you: no cloud accounts, no telemetry, no prebuilt blobs you cannot rebuild.

Grove is the mother. Gleam will be the OS when it boots. Kindling is the kernel, already struck. faeOS is today's fast house on Arch.

Second machine

git clone git@github.com:ElegantVW/faeOS.git ~/faeOS && cd ~/faeOS && ./install.sh
git clone git@github.com:ElegantVW/bulwark.git ~/bulwark && cd ~/bulwark && ./build.sh install
git clone git@github.com:ElegantVW/pixie.git ~/pixie && cd ~/pixie && ./install.sh
git clone git@github.com:ElegantVW/scroll.git ~/scroll

Then a model at ~/.local/share/pixie/models/ and pixie "hello".
