# Progress

This file is now intentionally compact.

Detailed chronological history through Phase 18.2 has been archived at:

- `docs/reports/progress-log-through-phase18-2-freebsd.md`

For a broader narrative summary, see:

- `docs/PROG_SUMMARY.md`

## Current status

Fruix currently has:

- declarative system modeling on FreeBSD
- content-addressed system closures under `/frx/store`
- native FreeBSD base artifacts in `/frx/store`
- declarative FreeBSD source objects and source materialization
- source-driven native base builds from materialized source snapshots
- side-by-side source revisions and boot validation
- a host-driven non-interactive install path:
  - `fruix system install`
- a bootable Fruix-managed installer environment:
  - `fruix system installer`

Validated boot modes still are:

- `freebsd-init+rc.d-shepherd`
- `shepherd-pid1`

The validated Phase 18 installation work currently uses:

- `freebsd-init+rc.d-shepherd`

## Latest completed achievement

### 2026-04-04 — Phase 18.2 completed

Fruix now boots a minimal installer environment and installs a target system from inside it.

Highlights:

- added in `modules/fruix/system/freebsd.scm`:
  - `installer-operating-system`
  - `operating-system-installer-image-spec`
  - `materialize-installer-image`
- added CLI support in `scripts/fruix.scm`:
  - `fruix system installer`
  - `--install-target-device DEVICE`
- the installer image now carries:
  - its own installer closure
  - the selected target closure
  - the target store closure
  - a staged target rootfs payload
  - in-guest installer state/log/scripts
- validated workflow:
  - boot installer image in QEMU/UEFI/TCG
  - reach installer over SSH
  - install target system onto second disk from inside the guest
  - boot the installed target successfully

Validation:

- `PASS phase18-installer-environment`
- regression re-checks:
  - `PASS phase18-system-install`
  - `PASS phase17-source-revisions-qemu`

Commit:

- `1d00907` — `Add Fruix bootable installer environment`

## Recent major milestones

- `1d00907` — `Add Fruix bootable installer environment`
- `2517710` — `Add non-interactive Fruix installation flow`
- `02a02e3` — `Document Fruix FreeBSD source policy`
- `865012e` — `Boot Fruix from distinct FreeBSD source revisions`
- `8150508` — `Validate side-by-side FreeBSD source revisions`
- `5cbf5b9` — `Build native bases from materialized FreeBSD sources`

## Active constraints

- local `bhyve` remains blocked under Xen due to lack of nested VT-x exposure
- XO self-service creation is still not usable with the current token
- real XCP-ng validation must continue to use:
  - VM `90490f2e-e8fc-4b7a-388e-5c26f0157289`
  - approved A/B VDIs:
    - `0f1f90d3-48ca-4fa2-91d8-fc6339b95743`
    - `7061d761-3639-4bec-87f7-2ba1af924eaa`
- local QEMU/TCG validation keeps conservative default SMP settings; `QEMU_SMP` remains overrideable

## Next step

Per `docs/PLAN_4.md`, the next planned step is:

- **Phase 18.3** — produce a bootable UEFI installer ISO

That should build on the now-validated installer environment rather than replacing it.
