0:/usr was a Unix transplant in an otherwise Montauk-native layout.
The SDK now lives at 0:/sdk/{bin,include,lib} (+ ldscripts under
0:/sdk/x86_64-montauk): Montauk-flavored, and a clean unit for a
future per-component installer tickbox. Native binutils is rebuilt
with --prefix=/sdk so ld's compiled-in search paths follow; future
ports configure with --prefix=/sdk.
Also add pathconf() with _PC_* names to the libc: now that realpath
exists, libiberty's lrealpath.c compiles its pathconf fallback path
unconditionally.
Shell command resolution and tab completion updated to 0:/sdk/bin.
Boot-verified in QEMU: setup, login, desktop on the new image with
zero usr/ remnants in the ramdisk.

The devkit target in programs/GNUmakefile stages the native binutils
(as, ld, ar, nm, objcopy, objdump, readelf, ranlib, strip, size,
strings, addr2line, c++filt, elfedit as *.elf) into the image at
0:/usr/bin, plus a target-side sysroot: libc headers, montauk/ and
Api/ SDK headers and the freestanding C++ set at 0:/usr/include, and
libc.a + crt1/crti/crtn objects (with empty libm/libstdc++ stand-ins)
at 0:/usr/lib. ld's ldscripts ship under 0:/usr/x86_64-montauk.
The /usr prefix matches the binutils configure prefix, and the kernel
already resolves driveless absolute paths against the cwd drive, so
compiled-in /usr/lib search paths work natively on drive 0.
The shell resolves commands from 0:/usr/bin (after 0:/os) and tab
completion lists it. When toolchain/native/ has not been built, the
devkit step skips cleanly and the image builds as before.

Grow the Montauk libc enough to cross-build binutils 2.43.1 with
--host=x86_64-montauk. gas, ld, ar, nm, objcopy, objdump, readelf,
ranlib, strip and friends now link as native ET_EXEC Montauk binaries
(staged stripped in toolchain/native/, not yet shipped in the image).
New libc surface: full Linux errno and signal sets, O_* flags with
real O_EXCL/O_APPEND semantics, unlink/rmdir/dup/dup2/getpid/_exit,
kill (SYS_KILL), fcntl, fileno/fdopen, putc/getchar/rewind,
ctime/asctime, strtoll/strtoull/atoll, bsearch, mkstemp/mktemp,
realpath (lexical, drive-prefix aware), mbstowcs/mblen, chmod/fchmod/
umask/utime no-ops (VFS has no modes or settable times), full struct
stat with fake inodes, sscanf field widths (bounded conversions),
SCN*/PRI* completions, wait/waitpid over SYS_WAITPID, and new headers
sys/wait.h, sys/param.h, utime.h, wchar.h, memory.h.
fork/exec/pipe are declared but fail with ENOSYS: binutils never
spawns, and real process plumbing is the posix_spawn milestone, which
needs kernel support (exit status reporting, fd redirection).
TCC's montauk_compat.h shims (unlink, chmod, execvp, realpath, fdopen,
strtoll, strtoull) are retired in favor of the libc versions.

Switch all program and library Makefiles from host g++ (or the
bare-metal x86_64-elf compiler) to x86_64-montauk-g++/gcc and drop the
flags the target now owns: -nostdinc + kernel freestanding -isystem
paths, -m64/-march, -fno-PIC, -mno-red-zone, -mcmodel=small, -static,
-Wl,-m,elf_x86_64, -z max-page-size, --build-id=none. Deliberate
policy flags stay (-ffreestanding, per-app SSE, -nostdlib + link.ld).
Program builds now require the montauk toolchain and fail with a
pointer to build-montauk-toolchain.sh; lib/ and libs/ keep the host
fallback since the toolchain script bootstraps libc through it.
Userspace is also now pinned to the cross GCC instead of drifting
with the distro compiler.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <[email protected]>
Add build-montauk-toolchain.sh: builds an OS-aware cross GCC/binutils
(same versions and prefix as the bare-metal x86_64-elf toolchain) whose
x86_64-montauk target links static ET_EXEC binaries against the Montauk
libc sysroot with no special flags: 4 KiB max page size for the kernel
ELF loader, -mno-red-zone by default, crt1/crti/crtn + -lc from the
sysroot, __montauk__ defined. Target patches are checked into
toolchain/patches/, the GCC target header into toolchain/files/.
sys/types.h now includes <stdint.h> so hosted code (libgcov and
friends) sees intptr_t via the stdio include chain.

Add tear-free scanout to the Intel GPU driver: a second kernel-allocated
scanout buffer, DSPASURF flips latched at vblank, and a vblank interrupt
delivered over MSI (Gen 11+ master/display/pipe IRQ chain) with a
monotonic vblank counter and WaitVblank().
Expose it as SYS_FBFLIP (150): index selects the front buffer, -1
queries support, flags bit0 waits for the flip to latch. fb_map() now
maps buffer 1 right after buffer 0 when flipping is available, and
gui::Framebuffer draws to the off-screen buffer and flips with vsync,
falling back to the direct copy when unsupported.
Scanout is restored to buffer 0 when the flip-owning process exits and
on panic, so the terminal and panic box never land on the invisible
buffer.

Deleting a big file froze the desktop for seconds: ext2 FreeBlock did 4
synchronous disk I/Os per data block (bitmap + BGDT read/write), and the
file manager deleted single files inline on the desktop main thread.
- Ext2: batch block frees per block group; keep the bitmap resident,
clear bits in memory, flush bitmap + BGDT once per group transition.
Also covers the truncate-on-overwrite path.
- Ext2: refuse to mount volumes with block size > 4096; temp buffers
throughout the driver are single 4 KiB pages, so larger blocks would
overflow them (our mkfs always uses 4K).
- Files: route single-file deletes past 4 MiB to the background worker
+ progress dialog; refuse (instead of stalling inline) when another
file operation already owns the worker.

bdAddr bytes are stored LSB-first (HCI wire order) throughout the stack,
but the bluetooth app and btbonds tool formatted them LSB-first too, so
every MAC displayed byte-reversed. Print addr[5] down to addr[0] instead.
Display-only change; wire-order parsing and syscalls untouched.

Bump the selected character's name (16->19) and metadata (14->15) sizes, and

instead of top-aligned.

Render the button in its disabled state during the post-copy confirmation
window, matching the Bluetooth app's greyed-out "Scanning..." button.

Instead of a separate "Copied to clipboard" line beside the Copy button, flip
the button's own label to "Copied" for ~1.6s after a copy, then back to "Copy".
Simpler and keeps the footer uncluttered.

The hand-rolled Copy button (bold, custom-shaded accent fill) and the floating
accent "toast" pill both looked out of place. Replace the button with the
canonical mtk::draw_button (BUTTON_PRIMARY), matching the Refresh button in
Devices and buttons elsewhere. Replace the floating pill with a plain
"Copied to clipboard" status line in the footer, right-aligned beside the Copy
button, that fades after ~1.6s — no overlay drawn over the character grid.

The scrollbar was placed inside the padded tile grid, leaving a gap above it
(below the tabs) and beside it (before the window edge). Give the scrollbar
its own viewport spanning the full panel between the tabs and footer, flush to
the right window edge, like the Devices/Music apps. The tile grid keeps its
margins and simply reserves the scrollbar width plus a gap on its right.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <[email protected]>
Replace charmap's hand-drawn scrollbar with the mtk scrollbar widgets
(scrollbar_track_rect / scrollbar_thumb_rect / draw_scrollbar), matching the
Devices and Music apps: standard 12px track colored SCROLLBAR_BG/FG with a
draggable thumb. Adds thumb drag, track-click-to-jump, and hover highlight
(mirroring devexplorer's handling); the tile grid reserves an SB_GUTTER on the
right sized from mtk::SCROLLBAR_W. The bar auto-hides when the set fits.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <[email protected]>
Replace charmap's bespoke tab drawing/hit-testing with mtk::draw_tab_bar /
mtk::hit_tab_bar so the top tabs match the canonical MontaukOS style used by
the Desktop Settings panel: a surface-colored bar with a bottom border, the
active tab cut out in window_bg with a 3px accent underline, active label in
accent and inactive labels in text_subtle. Tab height is now 36 (theme.tab_h).
Drops the custom hover tint (the canonical style has none).

The top header bar duplicated the window-manager title bar. Drop it: tabs
now sit at the top of the content area (window shrinks by the header's
height). The "Copied" confirmation moves from the header to a floating
accent toast anchored to the lower-right of the grid, drawn last.

A standalone Window Server app for browsing curated sets of characters
and copying them to the clipboard for pasting into other apps.
- Four sets (Latin, Punctuation, Currency, Symbols) shown as a responsive,
scrollable tile grid with category tabs, a live preview/detail footer,
and a Copy button.
- Click a tile (or use arrow keys + Enter/Space) to select and copy; a
transient toast confirms the copy. Mouse wheel scrolls; Tab cycles sets.
- Styled with the MTK theme (accent, surfaces, rounded tiles) to match the
other Montauk apps, modeled on the calculator app.
The character set is deliberately the single-byte Windows-1252 range the
system font can render (the glyph cache only holds codepoints 0-255).
Copying writes the raw byte, so glyphs render identically here and in every
other single-byte-text Montauk app (copying UTF-8 would render as mojibake).
Registered in programs/GNUmakefile and scripts/install_apps.sh alongside
calculator; menu category "Applications", icon accessories-character-map.svg.
