It does not store data and does not run services; it is a high-fidelity terminal purpose-built around keyboard-driven operator flow. The reference point is the Bloomberg Terminal: a single keyboard, a small set of function keys, and a relentless focus on the operator's context. The binary is written from scratch in Rust for sub-50-millisecond cold start and a 15-megabyte footprint. This article covers how os-console runs, the F-key surface, the rendering stack, and the two operating modes. `os-console` is the human-facing surface of the PointSav platform — a Command Ledger that connects to one [[totebox-os|Totebox]] and renders its state to the operator.

On the host operating system — Windows, macOS, or Linux — it acts as a Virtual Machine Monitor: it uses the host's native virtualisation API to create a small, isolated VM in RAM and boots an seL4 environment inside it. `os-console` ships as a single executable.
