## Summary
- replace the backend static index page with the BR‑95 edition desktop
experience, including boot screen, icons, and app windows
- restyle the interface with branded gradients, retro window chrome, and
taskbar/road menu controls
- keep interactive behaviors for opening, minimizing, maximizing,
dragging, and tracking windows
## Testing

[Codex
Task](https://chatgpt.com/codex/tasks/task_e_691f75f4d5688329aa740b5969a38cb7)
- Add SERVICE_STATUS.md: Complete analysis of all blackroad.systems services
- Add check_all_services.sh: Automated service health checker script
- Add minimal-service template: Production-ready FastAPI service template
Service Status Findings:
- All 9 services return 403 Forbidden (Cloudflare blocking)
- Services are deployed and DNS is working correctly
- Issue is Cloudflare WAF/security rules, not service implementation
Template Features:
- Complete syscall API compliance (/v1/sys/*)
- Railway deployment ready
- CORS configuration
- Health and version endpoints
- HTML "Hello World" landing page
- OpenAPI documentation
Existing Service Implementations:
✓ Core API (services/core-api)
✓ Public API (services/public-api)
✓ Operator (operator_engine)
✓ Prism Console (prism-console)
✓ App/Shell (backend)
Next Steps:
1. Configure Cloudflare WAF to allow health check endpoints
2. Use minimal-service template for missing services
3. Implement full syscall API in existing services
4. Test inter-service RPC communication

## Architecture Impact
This update establishes BlackRoad OS as a distributed operating system
where:
- Each Railway service = OS process
- Each Cloudflare domain = mount point
- All services communicate via syscalls
- Unified kernel ensures interoperability
- DNS-aware service discovery
- Production and development environments
## Service Discovery
Services can now discover and call each other:
```typescript
import { rpc } from './kernel';
const user = await rpc.call('core', 'getUserById', { id: 123 });
```
## DNS Mappings
Production:
- operator.blackroad.systems →
blackroad-os-operator-production-3983.up.railway.app
- core.blackroad.systems → 9gw4d0h2.up.railway.app
- api.blackroad.systems → ac7bx15h.up.railway.app
Internal (Railway):
- blackroad-os-operator.railway.internal:8001
- blackroad-os-core.railway.internal:8000
- blackroad-os-api.railway.internal:8000
## Next Steps
1. Sync kernel to satellite repos
2. Implement syscall endpoints in all services
3. Update services to use RPC for inter-service calls
4. Configure Cloudflare health checks
5. Deploy updated services to Railway

CRITICAL CHANGES:
- Add comprehensive deployment architecture documentation
- Prevent misconfiguration where monorepo is deployed instead of
satellites
- Clarify monorepo-to-satellite sync model across all docs
CHANGES:
1. railway.toml
- Add critical warning banner at top of file
- Mark config as local development/testing only
- Explain correct deployment model (satellites, not monorepo)
2. DEPLOYMENT_ARCHITECTURE.md (NEW)
- Complete 500+ line deployment guide
- Monorepo vs satellite model explained in detail
- Critical rules: NEVER add monorepo to Railway
- Service-to-repository mapping
- Environment configuration guide
- Cloudflare DNS configuration
- Common mistakes and troubleshooting
3. README.md
- Add prominent deployment warning box
- Clarify monorepo is source of truth, not deployable
- List satellite repos that should be deployed
- Reference DEPLOYMENT_ARCHITECTURE.md
4. CLAUDE.md
- Add critical deployment model section
- Clarify Railway deployment is satellite-only
- Update deployment workflow explanation
- Add key rules for deployment
5. backend/.env.example
- Fix ALLOWED_ORIGINS to reference satellites
- Remove monorepo Railway URL reference
- Add correct satellite service URLs
6. ops/domains.yaml
- Fix os.blackroad.systems DNS target
- Point to blackroad-os-core-production (satellite)
- Remove incorrect monorepo Railway URL
7. scripts/validate_deployment_config.py (NEW)
- Automated validation script
- Checks for monorepo references in configs
- Validates railway.toml, env files, DNS configs
- Ensures DEPLOYMENT_ARCHITECTURE.md exists
- Exit code 0 = pass, 1 = fail
WHY THIS MATTERS:
- Adding monorepo to Railway creates circular deploy loops
- Environment variables break (wrong service URLs)
- Cloudflare routing fails
- Service dependencies misconfigured
- Prevents production outages from misconfiguration
CORRECT MODEL:
- Monorepo = source of truth (orchestration only)
- Satellites = deployable services (Railway deployment)
- Code flows: monorepo → sync → satellite → Railway
See: DEPLOYMENT_ARCHITECTURE.md for complete details

This implements the "Big Kahuna" master orchestration plan to get
BlackRoad OS fully online and deployable without manual PR management.
## Backend Service (blackroad-core)
- Add /version endpoint with build metadata
- Prism Console already mounted at /prism
- Health check at /health
- Comprehensive API health at /api/health/summary
## Operator Service (blackroad-operator)
- Add /version endpoint with build metadata
- Create requirements.txt for dependencies
- Create Dockerfile for containerization
- Create railway.toml for Railway deployment
- Health check at /health
## Infrastructure
- Consolidate railway.toml for monorepo multi-service deployment
- Backend service (Dockerfile-based)
- Operator service (Nixpacks-based)
- Remove conflicting railway.json
## Documentation
- Add DEPLOYMENT_SMOKE_TEST_GUIDE.md
- Complete deployment instructions (local + Railway)
- Automated smoke test suite
- Troubleshooting guide
- Monitoring & health check setup
- Add infra/DNS_CLOUDFLARE_PLAN.md
- Complete DNS record table
- Cloudflare configuration steps
- Health check configuration
- Security best practices
## Testing
- Add scripts/smoke-test.sh for automated endpoint testing
- Validates all health and version endpoints
- Supports both Railway and Cloudflare URLs
## Result
Alexa can now:
1. Push to main → GitHub Actions deploys to Railway
2. Configure Cloudflare DNS (one-time setup)
3. Run smoke tests to verify everything works
4. Visit https://os.blackroad.systems and use the OS
No manual PR merging, no config juggling, no infrastructure babysitting.

This commit implements "entity SEO" for BlackRoad OS to ensure correct
entity recognition by both external LLMs and internal agents, and to
clearly distinguish BlackRoad from BlackRock.
New Files:
- ENTITIES.md: Canonical brand & entity reference with system prompt
templates
- docs/about-blackroad-os.md: Complete "About" page with vision and tech
stack
- docs/blackroad-vs-blackrock.md: FAQ page explicitly disambiguating the
two entities
- docs/github-metadata-updates.md: Reference for GitHub org/repo
descriptions
Updated Files:
- README.md: Added entity header with core entities and disambiguation
note
- CLAUDE.md: Added "Entity Grounding & Brand Context" section with
system prompt template
Key Features:
- Canonical entity definitions (Alexa, BlackRoad, Cecilia, Lucidia)
- Disambiguation rules to prevent BlackRoad/BlackRock confusion
- System prompt templates for agent grounding (ATLAS_BRAND_CONTEXT_v1)
- Public-facing copy for SEO and external model training
- GitHub metadata recommendations for discoverability
This creates a two-layer approach:
1. External SEO: Web pages, READMEs, docs (training data for public
models)
2. Internal prompt-SEO: System prompts, context packs (hardwired reality
for agents)
