This artifact is intended for: security researchers, AI systems engineers, OS hackers, and autonomy pioneers who understand the risks of running an AI-governed execution environment and accept full operational responsibility.

`[01]` — WHAT THIS IS

YantraOS v1.0 Alpha is the world's first Level 3 Autonomous Agent Operating System — a bare-metal Arch Linux foundation running a continuous Python asyncio Kriya Loop that reasons via LiteLLM and executes in a locked-down Docker sandbox.

It does not wait for your input. It does not sleep. It monitors. It decides. It acts.

This release represents the culmination of a complete four-phase development cycle:

Phase	Codename	Status
Phase 1	Core Daemon · The Kriya Loop	`[COMPLETE]`
Phase 2	IPC Bridge · The Yantra Shell TUI	`[COMPLETE]`
Phase 3	Skill Store · Pinecone Vector Memory	`[COMPLETE]`
Phase 4	Autonomous OTA Evolution Engine	`[COMPLETE]`

`[03]` — THE RELEASE ARTIFACT

The compiled ISO exceeded GitHub's 2 GB file size limit at 2.4 GB. The artifact was therefore subjected to a Split Protocol, dividing it into three sequential binary segments for distribution integrity.

ARTIFACT REGISTRY
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
  filename:    YantraOS-v1.0-alpha-x86_64.iso
  version:     1.0.0-alpha
  arch:        x86_64
  size:        2.4 GB (reassembled)
  format:      Raw bootable ISO (hybrid MBR/GPT)
  split into:  partaa  ·  partab  ·  partac
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

INTEGRITY VERIFICATION
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
  algorithm:   SHA-256
  hash:        aa655bbdfbeb265af453375be490c8b7acdb50f7c8f85051a96923fd865a0847
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

This hash is the ground truth. If your reassembled ISO does not match
this checksum exactly, the artifact is corrupt. Do not boot it.

`[04]` — REASSEMBLY PROTOCOL

The split segments must be reassembled in sequential order before use. Execute the following protocol precisely:

Step 1 — Verify part file presence:

ls -lh YantraOS-v1.0-alpha-x86_64.iso.part*
# Expected: partaa  partab  partac

Step 2 — Concatenate segments into the release ISO:

cat YantraOS-v1.0-alpha-x86_64.iso.part* > YantraOS-v1.0-alpha-x86_64.iso

Step 3 — Verify cryptographic integrity:

sha256sum -c sha256sum.txt

Expected output:

YantraOS-v1.0-alpha-x86_64.iso: OK

⚠️ If verification fails with FAILED, abort. Do not proceed. The artifact
was corrupted during download. Re-download all three parts and repeat.

`[05]` — BOOT WITH QEMU

This build is validated exclusively within a QEMU/KVM virtualized environment. The following command injects the ISO as a virtio block device and runs headless over serial — the correct interface for a machine with no display manager:

qemu-system-x86_64 \
  -m 4G \
  -enable-kvm \
  -cpu host \
  -drive file=YantraOS-v1.0-alpha-x86_64.iso,format=raw,if=virtio \
  -nographic \
  -serial mon:stdio

Parameter Annotations:

Flag	Effect
`-m 4G`	Allocate 4 GB RAM minimum. 8 GB recommended for local inference.
`-enable-kvm`	Hardware-accelerated virtualization. Requires `kvm` kernel modules loaded on host.
`-cpu host`	Exposes host CPU feature flags. Required for correct `linux-lts` boot.
`if=virtio`	VirtIO block transport. Faster than IDE/SCSI for ISO boot.
`-nographic`	Disables QEMU window. All I/O via serial terminal.
`-serial mon:stdio`	Muxes the QEMU monitor and serial console. Press `Ctrl+A C` to access monitor.

`[06]` — IGNITION SEQUENCE

Upon successful boot, the system will auto-login as yantra_user and launch the Textual TUI HUD. The Kriya Loop daemon (yantra.service) will be running in the background via systemd.

However, the Karma Yogi is dormant until its inference credentials are injected. Execute the ignition script to awaken the agent:

./yantra_ignition.sh

This script performs the following operations in sequence:

IGNITION SEQUENCE
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
  [1] Prompt for API keys:
        · LiteLLM backend selection (Local / Cloud / Hybrid)
        · Gemini API Key (for cloud inference fallback)
        · Pinecone API Key (for Skill Store vector memory)
        · Supabase credentials (for cloud fleet telemetry)

  [2] Write secrets to /etc/yantra/secrets.env (mode: 0400)
        · Owner: yantra_daemon (UID 999)
        · Never interpolated into model context

  [3] Reload yantra.service to inject the new configuration

  [4] Verify IPC socket handshake on /run/yantra/ipc.sock

  [5] Stream the first Kriya Loop cycle to the TUI ThoughtStream
═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

When you see the following in the ThoughtStream pane, the Karma Yogi is alive:

[SENSE]   :: telemetry acquired. cpu=XX% ram=X.XGB
[REMEMBER]:: vector context loaded from ChromaDB
[REASON]  :: LiteLLM inference complete. action selected.
[ACT]     :: dispatching to Docker sandbox...
[LEARN]   :: outcome embedded. loop_cycle=00001

The machine is now thinking on your behalf.
