> Skimmer's design intentionally echoes DragonFly BSD's LWKT and msgport subsystems — the per-CPU runqueue, the lwkt_* API surface, the rule that cross-CPU work flows as messages rather than as direct foreign writes. DragonFly's source under ~/proj/OS/DragonFlyBSD/6.4.2/sys/kern/ was studied as a structural reference during v0.1 bring-up.

Is this Claude going unsupervised? There are also references to CLAUDE.md ("see CLAUDE.md for scope") which is nowhere to be found.

Do you have any plans (maybe in the far future) to re-implement the Photon microGUI system?
Just asking because for me, that's half of what made QNX so great back in the day. Even today I keep raving about that 1.44MB demo floppy, about how polished, performant and efficient Photon was.

To all experts in video cards reading this:
Do you know, how to initialize a NVidia card in the RISC-V system (such as Unmatched or Polarfire) to the basic VGA mode 3 (text mode, 80x25)? :)
I really wanted to get the Real Console for QSOE, but so far all my efforts to run video BIOS (via U-Boot's bios_emulator) are not successful...

Is it a micro-kernel based? Because writing kernel drivers is not the most convenient approach.
