Rust kernel expansion:
- rust/src/checksum/mod.rs (new): memory-safe CRC-32C (Castagnoli), Adler-32,
and FNV-1a-64 with thin C-ABI shims. Registered in lib.rs with a boot-time
self-test (crc32c("SUB-OS")=0x61e96ce9, verified against a reference impl).
- include/kernel/rust.h: FFI declarations; rust/rust_fallback.c: matching C
fallbacks so aarch64/armv8i (no native rustc target) get identical results.
- LazyBox: new `cksum <text>` applet printing all three via the Rust engine.
GUI expansion:
- gui/gui_apps.c: Conway's Game of Life -- an interactive B3/S23 cellular
automaton with Play/Pause/Step/Random/Clear toolbar, click-to-toggle cells,
a live generation/population readout, and a board that scales with the
window. The Random button seeds from the Rust ChaCha20 CSPRNG. Toolbar and
cell input are gated on the MOUSE_DOWN edge so they do not re-fire while held.
- Registered "Life" (flask icon) in the desktop app table and on the desktop.
Verified: clean build on x86_64/aarch64/armv8i; boots through the SUB login to
the desktop (screenshotted) with the checksum self-test and 0 panics/0 OOM.

Kernel / memory:
- mm/kmalloc.c: fix "Heap: Out of memory" under the GUI. The desktop allocates
three full-screen 32-bit buffers (~11MB) which overflowed the fixed 16MB pool.
The heap now starts at 32MB and grows on demand from the PMM (16MB regions),
with region-safe coalescing (only merges physically adjacent blocks) so growth
never corrupts across separate PMM allocations. Adds heap_get_grow_count().
Build / run:
- Makefile: merge `run-gui` into `run` so `make run` boots into the graphical
desktop; add `run-headless` (serial-only via QEMU_CMD), bump guest RAM to
256M, update .PHONY and help.
Configure:
- scripts/kconfig/menuconfig.py: gate the curses UI behind isatty() on stdin and
stdout so non-interactive `make configure` stops emitting "nocbreak() returned
ERR" and falls cleanly through to the non-interactive writer.
GUI / userland:
- gui/gui_apps.c: rebuild the System Monitor from hardcoded values into live
telemetry -- real heap used/total/free with a colour-shifting bar, a scrolling
heap-utilisation graph, the grow counter, and real PMM RAM figures.
- lazybox `free`: report how many times the heap has grown.
Auth:
- Default login is now SUB / SUB (Kali-style username==password), seeded first
as the primary uid-0 account and set as the logged-in user; root kept for
compatibility. Hardcoded "root" defaults (whoami, su, passwd, ssh, sshd
session) updated to SUB.
Verified: clean build on x86_64/aarch64/armv8i; GUI boots with 0 OOM/0 panic;
auth engine initialises cleanly; `make configure` fallback is clean.

Expands the kernel-and-TTY core with the primitives the higher layers have
been missing, plus an in-kernel harness that proves they work.
Data structures (lib/):
- rbtree.c: Linux-compatible red-black tree with parent pointers, full
insert/erase rebalancing, in-order iteration and an invariant validator.
- kfifo.c: power-of-two byte ring with free-running indices, so the wrap
path costs one mask instead of a branch per byte.
- hashtable.c: separately-chained table with FNV-1a hashing, string or
u64 keys, and rehash-on-growth at a 3/4 load factor.
Kernel subsystems:
- kernel/wait.c: wait queues and one-shot completion barriers, backed by a
static sleeper pool so a blocking path never re-enters the allocator.
- kernel/futex.c: 32-bucket futex hash with value re-check, requeue, and an
fmutex_t sleeping mutex built on the uncontended-fastpath protocol.
- kernel/rcu.c: tiny RCU with reader nesting, deferred callbacks, kfree_rcu
and rcu_assign_pointer/rcu_dereference publish barriers.
- mm/page_cache.c: write-back block page cache, 4 KB pages indexed by
(device, page), CLOCK second-chance eviction and dirty write-back.
- kernel/ktest.c: KUnit-style harness with 6 built-in suites, 21 cases and
735 assertions covering every subsystem above (all passing under QEMU).
LazyBox userland:
- coreutils.c: sort, uniq, cut, tr, rev, tac, nl, seq, diff, xxd, du,
factor, sum and truncate, reading through the VFS and handling the
zero-length synthetic nodes that procfs and sysfs expose.
- ktest, rcuinfo, futexinfo, waitinfo and pagecache diagnostics applets.
