Single document that surfaces the depth of work behind veilor-os:
metrics, distros studied, every tool traversed in the build chain,
all 35+ failure classes hit and beaten, key engineering decisions and
why, what's in the repo beyond the kickstart, and the self-hosted
nullstone CI infrastructure built to support it.
Receipts not narrative — every claim links back to a file path,
commit, error, or config. Useful as portfolio anchor and as a single
read-this-first for anyone returning to the project after a gap.
