DByteOS Config

DByteOS config support is a deterministic, read-only preferences foundation for the Alpha userland. It centralizes existing system/profile values without adding mutable settings.

Config keys§

system.mode = beta-userland
system.prompt = dbyte-shell>
user.name = deadbyte
user.home = home/deadbyte
ui.theme = default
security.mode = simulated

Commands§

config
config show
config keys
config get system.prompt

config and config show print all values in stable order. config keys prints the available keys. config get <key> prints one value for scripts and package smoke tests.

The config layer is read-only in v9.0.2. It does not write config files, persist settings, change security policy, or invoke the host OS.

When DByteOS is launched with dbyte shell --rc examples/dbyteos/.dbyterc, the shell prompt reads the safe system.prompt preference and falls back to dbyte-shell> if the preference state is invalid.

Use snapshot config when you need the same values inside a broader system snapshot. Workspace projects and tasks store their user data under home/deadbyte/projects/.
