PointSav Documentation

The engineering library for the PointSav platform — operating systems and services for regulated businesses that own their data, their AI, and their record-keeping outright. Where the monorepo holds the code, this wiki holds the reasoning: architecture, services, security, and the governance commitments that bind future development.

Operating SystemsIndex

PointSav builds a family of purpose-built operating systems that share a common seL4 and Rust substrate. Each does one job, contains no features it does not need, and communicates through a common Diode-based protocol discipline. The result is a family that can be audited component by component, upgraded independently, and deployed in any configuration without unexpected coupling between systems.

Start here: OS family — eight operating systems, one substrate — the entry point for readers new to the family; it explains the common substrate, the Capability-based security model every OS inherits, the Diode standard that governs how they communicate, and the seL4 microkernel substrate that anchors them all.

The archive layer

The core record-keeping systems at the foundation of every deployment — where the canonical record lives and how it is coordinated across a fleet.

  • Sovereign vault and service host — os-totebox is the archive layer of the PointSav family — one isolated vault per entity, storing inert flat files with no delete, exposed via the Diode on command. Its production path hosts a Linux guest under the seL4 microkernel; other host forms exist for compatibility and local development.
  • Totebox orchestration — Totebox Orchestration is the coordination layer managing multiple Totebox data-archive containers, keeping execution engines isolated from passive corporate ledgers.
  • VM-* architecture and OS family — The PointSav platform organises runtime deployments under five named VM types — Totebox, MediaKit, Orchestration, PrivateGit, Infrastructure — each mapping to one os-* binary.
  • Scaling coordinated development across many Totebox Archives — Coordination bottlenecks past twenty archives — publication serialization, message relay latency, operator load, and the path to per-archive process isolation.
  • os-totebox: the sovereign WORM data vault — os-totebox is designed to become a Type I bare-metal OS built on a formally verified seL4 microkernel, with a WORM data vault enforced by a compiled capability graph — the intended end state, not the software running today.
  • How service-* Become seL4 Protection Domains on os-totebox — How os-totebox is designed to map Rust service binaries to seL4 Protection Domains: the planned seven-PD stack, capability confinement, startup ordering, and the two-bottom development path — Phase H1 roadmap work, not the binary running today.

Operator surfaces

The systems through which a human operator interacts with the platform — keyboard-driven, F-key-structured, and built around muscle memory rather than discoverability.

  • os-console — the Command Ledger — os-console is the human-facing surface of the PointSav platform — a single-binary, keyboard-native Command Ledger that connects to a Totebox and hosts independent TUI cartridges through a unified chassis.
  • os-console: The Totebox Orchestration Browser — os-console-totebox-browser has been folded into os-console's own 'Why this design: the browser analogy' section — this article is now a short pointer, not a separate deep dive.
  • Input machine — The Input Machine is the mandatory document ingest gate in os-console, bound permanently to F12 and backed by service-input on the Totebox Archive.
  • Sovereign desktop — os-workplace is the planned free desktop tier in the PointSav family — today a growing set of independent Rust and Tauri apps an operator runs on their own computer, joining the network as a station-* WireGuard peer; the intended adoption gateway to the commercial line.
  • Fleet aggregator — os-orchestration is the commercial-tier OS letting a single operator see, query, and command many Totebox archives at once — the Fleet Aggregator for enterprise deployments.

Network control and infrastructure

The systems that manage the network fabric, the bootstrap path, and the underlying compute substrate.

  • OS network admin — os-network-admin is the control plane for a PPN: WireGuard mesh routing, the node-join ceremony surface, and Diode-standard enforcement, without archive-tier authority.
  • Private git OS — The OS layer hosting the private Git infrastructure underpinning the development workspace, staging-tier commit flow, and canonical repos for PointSav engineering.
  • os-infrastructure — PPN node operating system — os-infrastructure is the OS layer for PPN nodes — its sole purpose is to set up and maintain a node: WireGuard tunnels, guest VMs, and the operator control plane.

Publishing and media

The public-facing OS that hosts the company's marketing surface, internal wiki, and compliance newsroom on a single sovereign appliance.

  • OS mediakit — The public-web tier of the PointSav OS family — os-mediakit owns TLS, systemd lifecycle, and gateway-mediated data access; app-mediakit-knowledge/marketing/distribution own domain logic. Ubuntu 24.04 today; the planned end state is one seL4 VM per deployment instance, not a single combined appliance.
