DByteOS Personal Workspace Beta Foundation

DByteOS Personal Workspace Beta Foundation is the v9.0.2 milestone for the host-runnable DByteOS userland. It marks the point where DByte, the interactive shell, packaged examples, DByteOS commands, preferences, diagnostics, and documentation form a cohesive personal computing environment.

What is included§

DByte language runtime, REPL, shell, project workflow, and release package.
DByteOS userland under examples/dbyteos/.
Manual pages, onboarding, command discovery, and package smoke guides.
Profile, config, mutable preferences, and shell prompt integration.
Notes, journal, workspace projects, logger, services, diagnostics, and system snapshot commands.
Simulated permission checks for protected and writable userland paths.

First journey§

boot
welcome
check-system
doctor
prefs set system.prompt dbyteos>
snapshot
project reset-demo
task reset-demo
task list demo
task add demo write tests
task done demo 1
task status demo
task summary demo
task open demo
task doctor demo
task snapshot demo
task clear-done demo
project status demo

prefs reset-demo

The journey initializes the userland, shows onboarding, checks readiness, verifies diagnostics, demonstrates a safe prompt preference, summarizes the system, restores and inspects a deterministic workspace project, exercises project tasks, and restores demo state.

Boundaries§

DByteOS Personal Workspace Beta Foundation is not a standalone operating system. It does not add a kernel, bootloader, hardware drivers, OS passthrough, new language syntax, or new security semantics. It remains a deterministic userland that runs through the DByte runtime on the host system.
