Wiki: bring up to v6.4.361 (self-install, ring-3 windows, NVMe, real hardware)
Largest ingest yet — 139 releases. Two invariants finally moved: syscalls
57 -> 61 (ring-3 window calls 57-60), builtins ~145 -> ~209.
- Installation (new): NyxOS installs itself to an ATA/NVMe disk and boots
standalone (BIOS + UEFI) via nyxinstall - partitioning, ext2/FAT32-ESP
formatters, GRUB install, and the from-scratch NVMe driver.
- Correctness fixes: syscall count 57->61 wiki-wide + the four window syscalls
(Syscalls, Syscall Reference; HOWTO example renumbered 57->61); FPU/SSE is now
saved across context switches (Process Management, #40); /dev/urandom from the
CSPRNG + symlinks + chmod/read-only permissions (Filesystem); corrected
"no filesystem permissions" and added v6.4 hardening rows (Security).
- Drivers: NVMe + AC'97. GUI: ring-3 windows, Hemera/Erebus naming, software 3D
renderer, notifications/clipboard, display rotation. Boot: UEFI/GOP + real-HW.
Networking: TCP recv-window flow control (#80), netstat/route/arp/httpd.
Cryptography: hmac/totp/uuid/encrypt/decrypt. Command Reference: ~209 builtins,
grouped v6.4 command block, shell history/$VAR/$((expr))/aliases.
- N-Language: v0.22, N++ P5 (own types + #[drop]), nwin (a window drawn from N),
the growing M5 toy compiler, 22-program suite.
- Version History: 139 rows under a new era. Glossary: Hemera/Erebus/NVMe/nwin/
nyxinstall. Navigation, Obsidian graph group, and markers bumped to v6.4.361.
Lint: 43 pages, 0 broken links / anchors / orphans.
Wiki: document kernel context switching (Process-Management + Log, Glossary, cross-links)
New "Context switching" section in Process-Management: the timer-ISR switch path, the SAVE_REGS 15-GPR register list, the CR3/ring resume rule, the per-process kernel stack, the per-CPU handoff slots, and the SAVE_REGS-first origin bug. Adds a 2026-07-27 Log entry, a Glossary "Context switch" term, and cross-links from the TSS rsp0 row (Hardware-Reference) and the process_t stack/kernel_stack rows (Kernel-Data-Structures). Index page/line counts refreshed.

docs: update wiki to v5.8.25 — full-screen editor, /proc, /dev, user ps/kill/top, signals, mmap, pipelines, tab completion, syscall table, and all v5.8.x features
v5.7.25: fork() syscall - COW process clone
- SYS_FORK (syscall #10): COW-clone ring-3 process
- Refcounted physical frames: page_incref / page_get_refcount
- clone_page_directory_cow: walk user PML4, downgrade writable leaves to RO+COW
- vm_handle_fault COW path: private copy on first write
- Both parent and child resume in round-robin
