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.

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.

Ship a default wallpaper (blossoms by Nikhil Kumar, Unsplash License) in
a new 0:/os/wallpapers/ directory for OS-provided imagery, staged from
programs/data/wallpapers/. login.elf falls back to
0:/os/wallpapers/default.jpg when the desktop config names no wallpaper
or the configured file cannot be opened. Attribution added to
THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt and man legal.

- Ship each bundled font's license at 0:/os/licenses/: OFL-1.1 copies for
JetBrains Mono, Noto Serif, and Roboto, and AGPLv3 + font-embedding
exception for C059 (URW Base 35).
- THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt gains sections for all four font families and
now describes MontaukOS as source-available.
- license.txt rewritten as the MontaukOS Software License: use, study,
modify, and redistribute freely with attribution; selling or bundling
into commercial products still requires permission. Replaces the
previous no-copy/no-modify/no-redistribute EULA.
- The MontaukOS license itself now also ships on the ISO
(0:/os/licenses/LICENSE.txt, sourced from the website copy).
- man legal updated: license pointer + full third-party component list.

- New 0:/os/licenses/ directory on the ISO with GPL-3.0.txt (Flat Remix
icon theme), GPL-2.0.txt (doomgeneric DOOM engine), and NOTICES.txt
(mirrors montaukos.org/THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt).
- THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt gains a Flat Remix section (GPLv3, attribution,
modification and corresponding-source statements; the shipped SVGs are
the source form).
- man legal now lists third-party components and points at 0:/os/licenses/.
- doom1.wad removed from the repo and the build: the shareware WAD is
proprietary id Software content. doom.elf (GPLv2) still ships; users
must supply their own WAD.

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.
