🌟 Key Highlights & Major Additions

🔬 1. Mathematical AI Pillar HUD & Grounded Telemetry Engine

• Kernel-Grounded Process Metrics: Eliminates synthetic heuristics in favor of live /proc/<pid>/statm RSS readings for Ollama, Python, Cursor, and Antigravity processes.
• Empirical Attention Entropy & Perplexity: Real-time computation of Shannon entropy $H(A) = -\sum p_i \log_2 p_i$ and Bigram Perplexity $PPL = 2^{H(A)}$ over live model reasoning traces.
• Timestamp-Grounded Velocity: Measures true instantaneous token generation rates ($v_T = \Delta \text{tokens} / \Delta t$) by parsing consecutive ISO timestamps.
• Multi-Agent Neural Mesh Support: Native scraping and live UDP/HTTP telemetry ingestion for Google Antigravity, Cursor IDE, Ollama, and Zoth-Sentinel.

💡 2. "Visual Cockpit" Mode (Intuitive Non-Math Interface)

• 🎯 AI Brain Focus & Clarity Dial: Segmented 4-stage color spectrum (Confused ➔ Searching ➔ Focused ➔ Laser Sharp) showing instant certainty percentages (e.g. 98% Sure) and plain-English clarity status.
• 🚀 Thought Speedometer & 🔋 Memory Fuel Tank: Speedometer reading in simple words/sec with turbo badges, plus an automotive-style conversation fuel gauge showing memory saturation.
• 🪜 4-Stage Thinking Journey Stepper: Animated visual pipeline tracking what the AI is doing in real-time (1. 👁️ Reading ➔ 2. 🧠 Planning ➔ 3. 🔧 Executing ➔ 4. ✨ Answering).
• 💬 Plain-English Activity Feed: Human-readable action cards explaining what happened and why, with click-to-expand mathematical proof drawers.

🌌 3. Celestial 3D Interactive Wallpaper & UI Polish

• Dynamic Gold Mouse Trails: Interactive celestial particle engine tracking cursor motion across the Sovereign Intelligence background canvas.
• Reboot Persistence: Autostart hooks guaranteeing the interactive canvas persists across user sessions and reboots.
• Cinematic 60fps Boot Splash: High-definition Plymouth theme with vector star glyphs and matrix transitions.

🛡️ 4. Security & System Hardening

• PAM Lock Screen Resolution: Enforced root:shadow 2755 SGID permissions on unix_chkpwd across live and installed environments.
• SUID Sandbox Hardening: Guaranteed permissions for Electron and Chromium sandbox helpers.
• Sovereign Vault & Secret Injection: Argon2id + ChaCha20-Poly1305 encrypted secret manager (zoth-vault).

📦 Download & Reassembly Instructions

Due to GitHub's 2 GiB per-asset release limit, the 8.5 GB hybrid ISO is packaged in GitHub-compliant split chunks:

1. Download all files:
   • zothos-3.1-amd64.iso.part00
   • zothos-3.1-amd64.iso.part01
   • zothos-3.1-amd64.iso.part02
   • zothos-3.1-amd64.iso.part03
   • zothos-3.1-amd64.iso.part04
   • zothos-3.1-amd64.iso.sha256
   • zothos-join-iso.sh
2. Run the automated reassembly helper:

   bash zothos-join-iso.sh

   Or combine manually:

   cat zothos-3.1-amd64.iso.part* > zothos-3.1-amd64.iso
   sha256sum -c zothos-3.1-amd64.iso.sha256

3. Flash to USB drive using Balena Etcher, Rufus, or dd:

   sudo dd if=zothos-3.1-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M status=progress conv=fsync
