Device Categories — SecuBox 6-Icon System

SecuBox uses a unified 6-category icon system across all devices and interfaces. This Hamiltonian path (AUTH → MESH) represents the security flow from authentication to network mesh.

The Six Categories

Index	Icon	Name	Role	Color	Hex
0	🔐	AUTH	Authentication / VPN / Encryption	Rust	#C04E24
1	🛡️	WALL	Firewall / nftables / CrowdSec	Amber	#9A6010
2	⚙️	BOOT	System / OS / Services	Crimson	#803018
3	🧠	MIND	AI / CPU / Processing	Indigo	#3D35A0
4	🌳	ROOT	Privileges / Integrity / Trust	Teal	#0A5840
5	🌐	MESH	Network / WireGuard / Tailscale	Navy	#104A88

Hamiltonian Path

The order AUTH → WALL → BOOT → MIND → ROOT → MESH follows the Hamiltonian path defined in the SecuBox security charter:

AUTH ─────► WALL ─────► BOOT
  │                       │
  │   ┌─────────────────┐ │
  │   │   SecuBox Core  │ │
  │   └─────────────────┘ │
  │                       │
MESH ◄───── ROOT ◄───── MIND

1. AUTH — Entry point: user authenticates
2. WALL — Traffic filtered by firewall rules
3. BOOT — System services respond
4. MIND — AI/processing analyzes request
5. ROOT — Privileges verified, integrity checked
6. MESH — Connected to network mesh

Device Implementations

Smart-Strip (SBX-STR-01)

Physical HMI module with 6 RGB LEDs and capacitive touch zones.

Feature	Description
LEDs	6× SK6812-MINI-E (RGB, 5V)
Touch	6× capacitive pads (AT42QT2120)
Interface	USB-C / I²C
Animations	Sweep, breathing, panic

LED Behaviors:

• Solid — Status OK
• Flash — Error or event
• Pulse — Operation in progress
• Sweep — Hamiltonian animation
