Phoenix Matrix OS

Phoenix Matrix is a security-control operating substrate designed for deterministic system protection and verifiable autonomous actuation.

Current System Status

Vertical Slice: PROVEN

The core architectural pipeline from kernel telemetry to durable storage is now functional and verified.

Current Proven Capabilities (Vertical Slice)

• Persist to disk: Verified via TestPersistorWriteAndRead.
• Crash recovery: Verified via TestPersistorCrashRecovery (partial line detection).
• Replay integrity: Verified via TestReplayerHeadHashContinuity.
• Cross-process survival: Verified via TestEndToEndPersistenceAndRecovery.
• Deterministic Math: Fixed-point arithmetic used in all security and physics paths.
• Authenticated Identity: Ed25519-signed events and validator set management.
• P2P Gossip: libp2p-based propagation of authenticated state transitions.

Not Yet Implemented (Gaps)

• TOKEN-WARDEN-001 authentication: Root authority token is generated in-memory but needs full CLI integration.
• eBPF -> Bus wiring: Connected in bootstrap but requires root/kernel for live production polling.
• Consensus Voting: Quorum certificates defined but full BFT voting loop (PreVote/PreCommit) is planned.
• Slashing: Punitive logic for Byzantine behavior is specified but not yet implemented.

Core Mandates

1. Determinism is sacred. No float64 in state-transition or security paths.
2. Replay is authoritative. Disk-backed ledger is the single source of truth.
3. Fail-Closed. System restricts I/O on integrity violation or connectivity loss.

Usage

# Start the Phoenix Matrix Daemon
./platform/os/phoenixd
