10 foundation§
The host-runnable userland prototype becomes a documented alpha environment.
20 delivered surface§
Boot lifecycle, command reference, security positioning and shell activation are documented around a DByte runtime-hosted environment.
30 evidence reading§
The tagged docs describe launch through dbyte shell, boot/status/notes/journal commands, and explicit alpha positioning.
40 boundary · nonclaim§
The environment still runs on a host operating system. Interrupts, paging and hardware ownership are not implied by the DByteOS name in this era.
