  • Wiki: bring up to v6.4.222 (N/N++ language, encodings, bootloader framebuffer) Add a new page for N and N++, the native NyxOS language, and document 40 releases (v6.4.183-222): - N-Language (new): the two-language design, syscalls-as-language, the ncc bootstrap compiler, the v0.2-v0.15 feature line mapped to N++ P1-P4, the M0-M5 self-hosting ladder (ncc runs in-OS; M5 triangle started), and xbm install ncc. Reframed the Userspace "Nyx C" section as N's ancestor. - Cryptography and TLS: Ed25519 signature verify + new encodings/checksums (Ascii85, Base58, bech32, URL, CSV, SemVer, CRC-32C, Fletcher, Murmur, FNV). - Command Reference: new commands/coreutils (file, tar, tsort, factor, date +FORMAT, the codec commands); counts to ~145 builtins. - GUI: taskbar system tray + flyouts, Start-menu search/arrow-nav, screensaver, Cordillera wallpaper. Desktop: File Manager Type column. - Boot Process / GUI: boot on the bootloader-provided framebuffer (multiboot2/ GOP) instead of Bochs VBE (v6.4.222). - Filesystem: VFS 512-node pool + vfsstat; MAX_INODES 256->512 propagated to Architecture, Kernel Data Structures, Troubleshooting. kernel.h god-header splits noted in Architecture. - Version History: 40 rows under a new era. Glossary: N/N++/ncc. Navigation, Obsidian graph color group, and version markers bumped to v6.4.222. Lint: 42 pages, 0 broken links / anchors / orphans. Syscalls still 57.

  • Add Toolchain page and bring the wiki up to v6.4.9 Document the in-OS C toolchain on a new Toolchain page: the userland libc, the cc shell builtin, the TinyCC 0.9.27 port, and the tcc-compiles-tcc self-host milestone (the in-OS tcc compiling its own ~40k-line source to a valid x86-64 object). Refresh the surrounding pages to match: Version-History through v6.4.9, plus cross-links and content updates across the source-tree, userspace, shell, filesystem, security and reference pages.
