Phase 5: System Tools

• System monitor
• Backup tool (Btrfs snapshots)
• Firewall configuration
• User management GUI
• System update GUI

Phase 6: Polish

• Custom themes (Win11 dark/light color schemes)
• SamiOS branding (logos, wallpapers, boot screens)
• Documentation (installation, voice architecture, VERSION SSOT)
• Testing suite — 142+ assertions across 8 test files:
  • tests/test_profiledef.sh — archiso profiledef.sh shape
  • tests/test_packages.sh — package list shape
  • tests/test_pacman_conf.sh — pacman.conf configuration
  • tests/test_samios_cli.sh — samios CLI behavior
  • tests/test_font_policy.sh — 7777-exclusion font policy
  • tests/test_version.sh — VERSION SSOT (55+ assertions, 7 components)
  • tests/test_installer.sh — samios-installer.sh coverage
  • tests/test_voice_bridge.sh — voice-bridge.py hermetic behavioral tests make check is a developer-side target that runs lint + test together; CI invokes the two separately.
• Release automation (ISO build pipeline)

Phase 7: Advanced Features

• Dual-boot setup tool (Windows → SamiOS migration)
• System recovery tools
• Snapshot/rollback (Btrfs)
• Container support (Docker/Podman)
• Virtual machine support
• Custom kernel with optimizations

Long-term Goals

• Custom kernel with SamiType hardware acceleration
• SamiOS-specific packages (voice-native apps)
• Community repository
• Hardware certification
• Enterprise features

Timeline

• Phase 1: ✅ Complete
• Phase 2: ✅ Complete (WSL), bare-metal pending
• Phase 3: Q3 2026
• Phase 4: Q4 2026 (SamiType integration begins)
• Phase 5-7: 2027+

Notes

• Prioritize stability over features
• Keep system lightweight
• Maintain Arch compatibility
• Focus on daily-driver usability
• Voice-first interaction is the north star
