Definitive Guide
The frontmatter index across the platform — three pillars (device, software, narrative) with brief explanations and pointers to the canonical docs.
KN-86 Deckline
Reference material for building the device — hardware, OS, runtime, cartridges, and API surface.
Architecture Decisions
Every architectural decision in chronological order. ADRs supersede prior specs.
Device
Hardware (BOM, schematics, mechanical, electrical, sourcing) and OS (system image, kiosk, systemd, device tree, coprocessor firmware, update system).
Software
nOSh runtime (orchestration, mission board, CIPHER voice, input dispatch, bare-deck terminal), cartridge authoring (capability model, Lisp paradigm, UI patterns, screen rules), and API reference (KEC Lisp, NoshAPI, wire grammars, editor tools).
How this site is built
Section titled “How this site is built”This site is a build-time mirror of the canonical reference docs in the kn-86 monorepo at kn-86/docs/ (per ADR-0041). The files there are the source of truth; their raw content is copied into this repo and the content collection is regenerated by scripts/sync-from-docs.mjs on every dev/build run. ADR / spec PRs target the kn-86 repo.
The full kn-86/docs tree is rendered here — hardware, nOSh runtime, cartridge authoring, and API reference — everything someone needs to build the device or write a cartridge.
