SourceOS

Immutable, local-first OS substrate (workstation + edge) with verifiable policy and user-space isolation.

No community automation dependency.

Topology position

• Role: immutable OS substrate for workstation and edge lanes.
• Connects to:
  • SociOS-Linux/agentos-spine — current Linux-side integration/workspace spine that assembles or routes adjacent layers around the substrate
  • SourceOS-Linux/sourceos-spec — canonical typed contracts, JSON-LD contexts, and shared vocabulary for policy, assets, and events
  • SociOS-Linux/workstation-contracts — workstation/CI contract and conformance lane
  • SociOS-Linux/socios — opt-in automation commons, never a required dependency
  • SociOS-Linux/socioslinux-web — Linux public web/docs surface that explains the substrate downstream
  • Linux build and publish surfaces such as image/package lanes may realize this substrate, but this repo is the substrate rather than the builder
• Not this repo:
  • opt-in automation commons
  • workspace controller
  • public docs site
  • canonical typed-contract registry
• Semantic direction: this repo should eventually publish a substrate-focused repo descriptor that references the shared SourceOS/SociOS vocabulary from sourceos-spec.
