-## 🚀 **What is APT-OSTree?**
-
-APT-OSTree is a Debian/Ubuntu equivalent of `rpm-ostree` that provides atomic package management for OSTree-based systems. It combines the familiar APT package management interface with the atomic update capabilities of OSTree.
-
-### **Key Features**
-- **Atomic Updates**: Package installations and updates are atomic - they either complete fully or rollback completely
-- **OSTree Integration**: Seamless integration with OSTree for system image management
-- **APT Compatibility**: Familiar APT commands and package management workflow
-- **Dependency Resolution**: Advanced dependency resolution with conflict detection
-- **Security**: Sandboxed package operations using bubblewrap
-
-### **Use Cases**
-- **Immutable Infrastructure**: Deploy and manage immutable server images
-- **Atomic Desktop Updates**: Update desktop systems atomically
-- **Container Base Images**: Manage package layers in container base images
-- **System Rollbacks**: Easy system rollbacks to previous states
-
-## 📖 **Quick Start**
-
-If you want to get started immediately, check out the [Quick Start Guide](user/quick-start.md). Here's a basic example:
-
-```bash
-# Install a package atomically
-apt-ostree install nginx
-
-# Check system status
-apt-ostree status
-
-# Rollback if needed

+# rpm-ostree Third-Party Tools Integration
+
+## Overview
+
+rpm-ostree integrates with various third-party tools and external systems to provide comprehensive system management capabilities. This document explains how rpm-ostree implements integration with these tools.
+
+## Core Third-Party Dependencies
+
+### libdnf Integration
+
+rpm-ostree uses libdnf for RPM package management:
+
+```c
+// libdnf integration in rpmostree-core.cxx
+#include <dnf/dnf-context.h>
+#include <dnf/dnf-goal.h>
+#include <dnf/dnf-package.h>
+
+class RpmOstreeDnfIntegration {
+private:
+    DnfContext *dnf_context;
+    DnfGoal *dnf_goal;
+    
+public:
+    // Initialize DNF context for OSTree operations
+    gboolean initialize_dnf_context(
+        RpmOstreeSysroot *sysroot,
+        const char *deployment_path,
+        GCancellable *cancellable,
+        GError **error) {
+        
+        // Create DNF context
+        dnf_context = dnf_context_new();
+        
+        // Configure for OSTree deployment
+        dnf_context_set_install_root(dnf_context, deployment_path);
+        dnf_context_set_release_ver(dnf_context, "39");
+        dnf_context_set_platform_module(dnf_context, "platform:39");
+        
+        // Load repositories
+        dnf_context_setup(dnf_context, cancellable, error);
+        
+        return TRUE;
+    }
+    
+    // Resolve package dependencies
+    gboolean resolve_package_dependencies(
+        const char *package_name,
+        GPtrArray **resolved_packages,
+        GCancellable *cancellable,
+        GError **error) {
+        
+        // Create DNF goal
+        dnf_goal = dnf_goal_new(dnf_context);
+        
+        // Add package to goal
+        dnf_goal_install(dnf_goal, package_name);
+        
+        // Resolve dependencies
+        DnfGoalActions actions = dnf_goal_resolve(dnf_goal, error);
+        if (actions == DNF_GOAL_ACTION_ERROR) {
+            return FALSE;
+        }
+        
+        // Get resolved packages
+        GPtrArray *packages = dnf_goal_get_packages(dnf_goal, DNF_PACKAGE_INFO_INSTALL);
+        *resolved_packages = packages;
+        
+        return TRUE;
+    }
+    
+    // Download packages
+    gboolean download_packages(
+        GPtrArray *packages,
+        const char *download_path,
+        GCancellable *cancellable,
+        GError **error) {
+        
+        // Download packages to specified path
+        return dnf_context_download_packages(
+            dnf_context, packages, download_path, cancellable, error);
+    }
+};
+```
+
+### Bubblewrap Integration
+
+rpm-ostree uses bubblewrap for secure package script execution:
+
+```c
+// Bubblewrap integration in rpmostree-core.cxx
+#include <bwrap.h>
+
+class RpmOstreeBubblewrap {
+public:
+    // Execute package scripts in sandboxed environment
+    gboolean execute_package_script(
+        const char *script_path,
+        const char *deployment_path,
+        const char *package_name,
+        GCancellable *cancellable,
+        GError **error) {
+        
+        // Create bubblewrap arguments
+        g_autoptr(GPtrArray) args = g_ptr_array_new();
+        g_ptr_array_add(args, (gpointer)"bwrap");
+        g_ptr_array_add(args, (gpointer)"--dev-bind");

+        g_ptr_array_add(args, (gpointer)"/proc");
+        g_ptr_array_add(args, (gpointer)"--bind");
+        g_ptr_array_add(args, (gpointer)deployment_path);
+        g_ptr_array_add(args, (gpointer)"/");
+        g_ptr_array_add(args, (gpointer)"--chdir");
+        g_ptr_array_add(args, (gpointer)"/");
+        g_ptr_array_add(args, (gpointer)script_path);
+        g_ptr_array_add(args, NULL);
+        
+        // Execute script in sandbox
+        return rpmostree_sysroot_run_sync(
+            sysroot, (char**)args->pdata, cancellable, error);
+    }
+    
+    // Execute post-installation scripts
+    gboolean execute_postinstall_scripts(
+        const char *deployment_path,
+        GPtrArray *packages,
+        GCancellable *cancellable,
+        GError **error) {
+        
+        // Execute post-installation scripts for each package
+        for (guint i = 0; i < packages->len; i++) {
+            DnfPackage *package = g_ptr_array_index(packages, i);
+            const char *package_name = dnf_package_get_name(package);
+            
+            // Find and execute post-installation script
+            g_autofree char *script_path = g_strdup_printf(
+                "%s/var/lib/rpm-postinst/%s", deployment_path, package_name);
+            
+            if (g_file_test(script_path, G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS)) {
+                execute_package_script(script_path, deployment_path, package_name, cancellable, error);
+            }
+        }
+        
+        return TRUE;
+    }
+};
+```
+
+### systemd Integration
+
+rpm-ostree integrates with systemd for service management:
+
+```c
+// systemd integration in rpmostreed-daemon.cxx
+#include <systemd/sd-bus.h>

+## 🏗️ **Gemini's Architectural Analysis - Critical Insights**
+
+### **The rpm-ostree Architecture Understanding**
+
+Gemini's analysis reveals a crucial architectural insight: `apt-ostree` needs to replicate the core functionality of `rpm-ostree`, which is fundamentally a **hybrid system** that combines:
+
+1. **`libostree`**: Core library for managing immutable filesystem trees
+2. **Package Management Libraries**: RPM/DNF equivalents for Debian (APT)
+3. **Hybrid Logic Layer**: Core code that takes package information and constructs new `libostree` commits
+
+### **Why This Changes the Recommendation**
+
+#### **apt-ostree's Core Requirements**
+```rust
+// apt-ostree needs to perform complex transactional operations:
+// 1. Read base ostree commit (immutable base layer)
+// 2. Handle user requests (e.g., "apt-ostree install cowsay")
+// 3. Use APT to resolve dependencies (critical!)
+// 4. Create new ostree tree from resolved packages
+// 5. Handle dpkg triggers and maintainer scripts
+// 6. Commit new tree and update bootloader
+```
+
+#### **Dependency Resolution is Critical**
+The most critical requirement is **robust dependency resolution** - something that `apt-pkg-native` may not provide adequately:
+
+```rust
+// apt-ostree needs to:
+// - Load APT Cache
+// - Create DepCache for dependency resolution
+// - Automatically resolve all dependencies (e.g., cowsay -> perl -> perl-modules)
+// - Handle complex dependency graphs
+// - Manage package state and conflicts
+```
+
+### **Gemini's Specific Concerns with apt-pkg-native**
+
+#### **Limited Feature Set**
+- **Basic Operations**: May not provide the transactional features needed
+- **Dependency Resolution**: Insufficient for complex package layering
+- **State Management**: Lacks the stateful reasoning capabilities required
+
+#### **Complex API**
+- **Uncertain Maintenance**: Questionable long-term viability
+- **Basic Functionality**: Too basic for apt-ostree's complex requirements
+- **Missing Features**: Lacks critical features for package transactions
+
+### **Why rust-apt is Better Suited**
+
+#### **Comprehensive APT Integration**
+```rust
+// rust-apt provides the essential tools:
+use rust_apt::cache::Cache;
+use rust_apt::depcache::DepCache;
+use rust_apt::package::Package;
+
+// 1. Package cache management
+let cache = Cache::new()?;
+
+// 2. Dependency resolution (critical!)
+let depcache = DepCache::new(&cache)?;
+depcache.mark_install("cowsay")?;
+let resolved = depcache.resolve_dependencies()?;
+
+// 3. Package iteration and file lists
+for package in resolved {
+    let files = package.file_list()?;
+    let location = package.download_location()?;
+    // ... ostree tree construction
+}
+```
+
+#### **Transactional Capabilities**
+- **DepCache**: Full dependency resolution engine
+- **Package State Management**: Tracks installation, removal, upgrades
+- **Conflict Resolution**: Handles package conflicts automatically
+- **Repository Integration**: Full access to APT repository metadata
+
+## 🏗️ **rpm-ostree Packaging Architecture - Additional Critical Insights**
+
+### **CLI-Daemon Separation Pattern**
+
+The rpm-ostree analysis reveals a **fundamental architectural requirement** that apt-ostree must follow:
+
+```c
+// rpm-ostree architecture:
+// CLI (rpm-ostree) → DBus → Daemon (rpmostreed) → DNF/RPM → OSTree
+
+// apt-ostree must follow the same pattern:
+// CLI (apt-ostree) → DBus → Daemon (apt-ostreed) → APT → OSTree
+```
+
+#### **Why This Architecture is Essential**
+1. **Security**: Privileged operations isolated in daemon
+2. **Reliability**: Transaction management and rollback capabilities
+3. **State Persistence**: System state maintained across operations
+4. **Concurrency**: Multiple operations can be managed simultaneously
+
+### **Package Management Integration Requirements**
+
+#### **rpm-ostree's libdnf Integration**
+```c
+// rpm-ostree uses libdnf for:
+// - DnfContext: Package repository management
+// - DnfGoal: Dependency resolution and transaction planning
+// - DnfSack: Package metadata and querying
+// - DnfPackage: Individual package operations
+
+class RpmOstreeDnfManager {
+    DnfContext *dnf_context;
+    DnfGoal *dnf_goal;
+    DnfSack *dnf_sack;
+    
+    // Full dependency resolution
+    gboolean resolve_package_dependencies();
+    
+    // Transaction management
+    gboolean execute_transaction();
+    
+    // Package download and extraction
+    gboolean download_packages();
+};
+```
+
+#### **apt-ostree's Equivalent Requirements**
+```rust
+// apt-ostree needs equivalent capabilities:
+// - Cache: Package repository management
+// - DepCache: Dependency resolution and transaction planning
+// - Package: Individual package operations
+// - Records: Package metadata and file lists
+
+pub struct AptManager {
+    cache: Cache,
+    depcache: DepCache,
+    records: PackageRecords,
+    
+    // Full dependency resolution
+    pub fn resolve_dependencies(&mut self, packages: &[String]) -> Result<Vec<Package>>;
+    
+    // Transaction management
+    pub fn execute_transaction(&mut self) -> Result<TransactionResult>;
+    
+    // Package download and extraction
+    pub fn download_packages(&self, packages: &[Package]) -> Result<Vec<PathBuf>>;
+}
+```
+
+### **Transaction Management Requirements**
+
+#### **rpm-ostree's Transaction System**
+```c
+// rpm-ostree implements complete transaction lifecycle:
+class RpmOstreeTransaction {
+    // Transaction lifecycle
+    gboolean begin_transaction();
+    gboolean execute_transaction();
+    gboolean commit_transaction();
+    gboolean rollback_transaction();
+    
+    // Progress reporting
+    void report_progress(guint percentage, const char *message);
+    
+    // Error handling
+    gboolean handle_error(GError *error);
+};
+```
+
+#### **apt-ostree's Transaction Requirements**
+```rust
+// apt-ostree must implement equivalent transaction management:
+pub struct AptOstreeTransaction {
+    // Transaction lifecycle
+    pub fn begin(&mut self) -> Result<()>;
+    pub fn execute(&mut self) -> Result<TransactionResult>;
+    pub fn commit(&mut self) -> Result<()>;
+    pub fn rollback(&mut self) -> Result<()>;
+    
+    // Progress reporting
+    pub fn report_progress(&self, percentage: u32, message: &str);
+    
+    // Error handling
+    pub fn handle_error(&mut self, error: AptOstreeError) -> Result<()>;
+}
+```
+

+
+## 💡 **Critical Insight from Gemini's Analysis + rpm-ostree Architecture**
+
+**apt-pkg-native is fundamentally insufficient for apt-ostree's architectural requirements.** While it works for basic operations, apt-ostree needs:
+
+1. **Full Dependency Resolution**: Complex package dependency graphs
+2. **Transactional Operations**: Complete package transaction management
+3. **Package State Management**: Full package state tracking
+4. **Repository Integration**: Complete access to APT repository metadata
+5. **Daemon Integration**: CLI-daemon separation for privileged operations
+6. **Transaction Management**: Complete transaction lifecycle support
+
+**rust-apt provides all of these critical features**, making it the **only viable choice** for apt-ostree's core functionality.
+
+**Additionally, rpm-ostree's architecture reveals that apt-ostree must implement:**
+1. **CLI-Daemon separation** (like rpm-ostree)
+2. **DBus communication** for privileged operations
+3. **Transaction management** for package operations
+4. **OSTree integration** for package layering
+
+## 🎯 **Final Recommendation - STRENGTHENED**
+
+**Migrate to rust-apt immediately.** The current apt-pkg-native implementation, while functional for basic operations, cannot support apt-ostree's core architectural requirements. rust-apt provides the comprehensive APT integration needed for:
+
+- Complex dependency resolution
+- Transactional package operations
+- Package state management
+- Repository metadata access
+- Daemon integration
+- Transaction management
+- Production-ready apt-ostree functionality
+
+**This migration is not optional - it's required** for apt-ostree to achieve its architectural goals and provide the hybrid image/package system functionality that mirrors rpm-ostree's capabilities.
+
+**The rpm-ostree architecture analysis confirms that apt-ostree must follow the same architectural pattern: CLI + Daemon + Comprehensive Package Management Library.**
+
+This analysis provides the foundation for making an informed decision about APT integration in apt-ostree, ensuring optimal compatibility with Debian 13 Trixie and Ubuntu 25.04 Plucky Puffin while maintaining current development momentum.

+# 🔍 **rpm-ostree vs rpm-ostreed: CLI-Daemon Separation Analysis**
+
+## 📋 **Overview**
+
+This document provides a comprehensive analysis of the separation between `rpm-ostree` (the CLI client) and `rpm-ostreed` (the system daemon) based on examination of the rpm-ostree source code. Understanding this separation is crucial for implementing a similar architecture in apt-ostree.
+
+## 🏗️ **Architecture Overview**
+
+### **Component Separation**
+```
+┌─────────────────┐    ┌─────────────────┐    ┌─────────────────┐
+│   rpm-ostree    │    │   DBus Layer    │    │   rpm-ostreed   │
+│   (CLI Client)  │◄──►│   (Communication)│◄──►│   (System Daemon)│
+│                 │    │                 │    │                 │
+│ • Command Line  │    │ • Client Proxy  │    │ • OSTree Ops    │
+│ • User Interface│    │ • Signal Handler│    │ • Package Mgmt  │
+│ • Progress Display│   │ • Error Handling│    │ • Transactions  │
+└─────────────────┘    └─────────────────┘    └─────────────────┘
+```
+
+### **Key Design Principles**
+1. **Separation of Concerns**: CLI handles user interaction, daemon handles system operations
+2. **Privilege Isolation**: Daemon runs with elevated privileges, CLI runs as user
+3. **Transaction Management**: Daemon manages long-running operations, CLI monitors progress
+4. **Fallback Support**: CLI can operate without daemon for read-only operations
+5. **Security by Design**: Daemon handles all privileged operations via PolicyKit

+### **2. Signal Flow Patterns**
+```
+Daemon Event → DBus Signal → Client Handler → User Display
+```
+
+**Signal Types**:
+- **`Message`**: Text messages and status updates
+- **`TaskBegin`/`TaskEnd`**: Task start/completion notifications
+- **`PercentProgress`**: Progress percentage updates
+- **`DownloadProgress`**: Download progress details
+- **`Finished`**: Transaction completion notification
+- **`Changed`**: System state change notifications
+
+### **3. Method Invocation Patterns**
+```
+Client Request → DBus Method → Daemon Handler → Operation Execution → Response
+```
+
+**Method Flow**:
+1. **Client invokes** DBus method on daemon interface
+2. **Daemon receives** method call and validates parameters
+3. **Authorization check** performed via PolicyKit
+4. **Operation executed** with progress reporting
+5. **Response sent** back to client with results
+6. **Signals emitted** for progress and completion
+

+| **System State** | ❌ None | ✅ Primary | Daemon monitors and manages |
+| **Resource Locking** | ❌ None | ✅ Primary | Daemon locks sysroot |
+| **Rollback Operations** | ❌ None | ✅ Primary | Daemon manages rollback |

+## 🎯 **Key Implementation Principles**
+
+### **1. Clear Separation of Concerns**
+- **CLI**: User interface, command parsing, progress display
+- **Daemon**: System operations, OSTree management, security
+
+### **2. Graceful Degradation**
+- **Primary mode**: Full functionality via daemon
+- **Fallback mode**: Limited functionality when daemon unavailable
+
+### **3. Security by Design**
+- **Privilege isolation**: Daemon handles privileged operations
+- **Authorization**: PolicyKit integration for all system changes
+- **Sandboxing**: Package script execution in controlled environment
+
+### **4. Transaction Safety**
+- **Atomic operations**: All changes are atomic
+- **Rollback support**: Automatic rollback on failure
+- **Progress tracking**: Real-time operation monitoring
+
+### **5. Performance Optimization**
+- **Caching**: Intelligent caching of deployment and package information
+- **Parallel operations**: Concurrent package processing where possible
+- **Resource management**: Efficient memory and disk usage
+
+This CLI-daemon separation analysis provides the foundation for implementing a production-ready apt-ostree system that maintains the proven architecture of rpm-ostree while adapting to the Debian/Ubuntu package management paradigm. The clear separation of responsibilities ensures maintainability, security, and scalability.

+## 🔍 **rpm-ostree Implementation Analysis**
+
+### **CLI Commands Structure**
+
+Based on `rpmostree-builtin-db.cxx`, rpm-ostree provides these database subcommands:
+
+```c
+static RpmOstreeCommand rpm_subcommands[]
+    = { { "diff", RPM_OSTREE_BUILTIN_FLAG_LOCAL_CMD, "Show package changes between two commits",
+          rpmostree_db_builtin_diff },
+        { "list", RPM_OSTREE_BUILTIN_FLAG_LOCAL_CMD, "List packages within commits",
+          rpmostree_db_builtin_list },
+        { "version", RPM_OSTREE_BUILTIN_FLAG_LOCAL_CMD,
+          "Show rpmdb version of packages within the commits", rpmostree_db_builtin_version },
+        { NULL, (Rpm_OSTREE_BUILTIN_FLAG_LOCAL_CMD)0, NULL, NULL } };
+```
+
+### **Key Insights from rpm-ostree**
+
+1. **Local Commands**: All database commands are `LOCAL_CMD` (don't require daemon)
+2. **Repository Access**: Commands can work with local OSTree repositories
+3. **RPM Integration**: Direct access to RPM database for package information
+4. **Commit Comparison**: Built-in support for comparing different OSTree commits
+
+## 🚀 **apt-ostree Implementation Strategy**
+
+### **1. CLI Command Structure**
+
+```rust
+// src/main.rs - Database command handling
+async fn db_commands(args: &[String]) -> AptOstreeResult<()> {
+    if args.is_empty() {
+        show_db_help();
+        return Ok(());
+    }
+    
+    let subcommand = &args[0];
+    match subcommand.as_str() {
+        "list" => db_list(&args[1..]).await?,
+        "diff" => db_diff(&args[1..]).await?,
+        "version" => db_version(&args[1..]).await?,

+
+### **2. Package Information Sanitization**
+
+```rust

+
+## 📊 **Performance Optimization**
+
+### **1. Caching Strategy**

+        
+        Ok(packages)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### **2. Parallel Processing**
+
+```rust
+// Parallel package information extraction
+impl DatabaseManager {
+    pub async fn extract_package_info_parallel(
+        &self,
+        commits: &[String],
+    ) -> Result<HashMap<String, Vec<PackageInfo>>, Error> {
+        let mut tasks = JoinSet::new();
+        
+        // Spawn parallel extraction tasks
+        for commit in commits {
+            let commit = commit.clone();
+            let db_manager = self.clone();
+            
+            tasks.spawn(async move {
+                let packages = db_manager.list_packages(Some(&commit)).await?;
+                Ok::<_, Error>((commit, packages))
+            });
+        }
+        
+        // Collect results
+        let mut results = HashMap::new();
+        while let Some(result) = tasks.join_next().await {

+# 🔍 **rpm-ostree Error Handling Analysis**
+
+## 📋 **Overview**
+
+This document analyzes the error handling patterns in rpm-ostree, examining how errors are managed across the CLI client (`rpm-ostree`) and the system daemon (`rpm-ostreed`). Understanding these patterns is crucial for implementing robust error handling in apt-ostree.
+
+## 🏗️ **Error Handling Architecture Overview**
+
+### **Component Error Handling Distribution**
+```
+┌─────────────────┐    ┌─────────────────┐    ┌─────────────────┐
+│   CLI Client    │    │   Error Layer   │    │   System Daemon │
+│   (rpm-ostree)  │◄──►│   (GError/DBus) │◄──►│   (rpm-ostreed) │
+│                 │    │                 │    │                 │
+│ • User-facing   │    │ • Error Types   │    │ • System-level  │
+│ • Command-line  │    │ • Error Codes   │    │ • Transaction   │
+│ • Progress      │    │ • Error Domain  │    │ • OSTree Ops    │
+└─────────────────┘    └─────────────────┘    └─────────────────┘
+```
+
+### **Error Handling Principles**
+1. **Separation of Concerns**: CLI handles user-facing errors, daemon handles system errors
+2. **Error Propagation**: Errors flow from daemon to CLI via DBus
+3. **Transaction Safety**: Failed operations trigger automatic rollback
+4. **User Experience**: Clear error messages with recovery suggestions
+5. **Logging Integration**: Comprehensive error logging for debugging
+
+## 🔍 **Detailed Error Handling Analysis**
+
+### **1. Daemon Error Types (`rpmostreed-errors.h`)**
+
+#### **Core Error Definitions**
+```cpp
+typedef enum
+{
+  RPM_OSTREED_ERROR_FAILED,                    // Generic operation failure
+  RPM_OSTREED_ERROR_INVALID_SYSROOT,           // Invalid system root path
+  RPM_OSTREED_ERROR_NOT_AUTHORIZED,            // PolicyKit authorization failure
+  RPM_OSTREED_ERROR_UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS,        // Concurrent update prevention
+  RPM_OSTREED_ERROR_INVALID_REFSPEC,           // Invalid OSTree reference
+  RPM_OSTREED_ERROR_NUM_ENTRIES,               // Enum size marker
+} RpmOstreedError;
+```
+
+#### **Error Domain Registration**
+```cpp
+// From rpmostreed-errors.cxx
+static const GDBusErrorEntry dbus_error_entries[] = {
+  { RPM_OSTREED_ERROR_FAILED, "org.projectatomic.rpmostreed.Error.Failed" },
+  { RPM_OSTREED_ERROR_INVALID_SYSROOT, "org.projectatomic.rpmostreed.Error.InvalidSysroot" },
+  { RPM_OSTREED_ERROR_NOT_AUTHORIZED, "org.projectatomic.rpmostreed.Error.NotAuthorized" },
+  { RPM_OSTREED_ERROR_UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS, "org.projectatomic.rpmostreed.Error.UpdateInProgress" },
+  { RPM_OSTREED_ERROR_INVALID_REFSPEC, "org.projectatomic.rpmostreed.Error.InvalidRefspec" },
+};
+
+GQuark rpmostreed_error_quark (void) {
+  static gsize quark = 0;
+  g_dbus_error_register_error_domain ("rpmostreed-error-quark", &quark, 
+                                      dbus_error_entries, G_N_ELEMENTS (dbus_error_entries));
+  return (GQuark)quark;
+}
+```
+
+**Key Characteristics**:
+- **DBus Integration**: Errors are registered as DBus error domains
+- **Standardized Codes**: Predefined error codes for common failure scenarios
+- **Internationalization**: Error messages can be localized
+- **Error Quarks**: Unique identifiers for error domains
+
+### **2. Transaction Error Handling**
+
+#### **Transaction Lifecycle Error Management**
+```cpp
+// From rpmostreed-transaction.cxx
+struct _RpmostreedTransactionPrivate {
+  GDBusMethodInvocation *invocation;           // DBus method context
+  gboolean executed;                            // Transaction completion state
+  GCancellable *cancellable;                   // Cancellation support
+  
+  // System state during transaction
+  char *sysroot_path;                          // Sysroot path
+  OstreeSysroot *sysroot;                      // OSTree sysroot
+  gboolean sysroot_locked;                     // Sysroot lock state
+  
+  // Client tracking
+  char *client_description;                    // Client description
+  char *agent_id;                              // Client agent ID
+  char *sd_unit;                               // Systemd unit
+  
+  // Progress tracking
+  gint64 last_progress_journal;                // Progress journal timestamp
+  gboolean redirect_output;                    // Output redirection flag
+  
+  // Peer connections
+  GDBusServer *server;                         // DBus server
+  GHashTable *peer_connections;                // Client connections
+  
+  // Completion state
+  GVariant *finished_params;                   // Completion parameters
+  guint watch_id;                              // Watch identifier
+};
+```
+
+#### **Error Recovery Mechanisms**
+```cpp
+// Transaction rollback on failure
+static void
+unlock_sysroot (RpmostreedTransaction *self)
+{
+  RpmostreedTransactionPrivate *priv = rpmostreed_transaction_get_private (self);
+
+  if (!(priv->sysroot && priv->sysroot_locked))
+    return;
+
+  ostree_sysroot_unlock (priv->sysroot);
+  sd_journal_print (LOG_INFO, "Unlocked sysroot");
+  priv->sysroot_locked = FALSE;
+}
+
+// Transaction cleanup
+static void
+transaction_maybe_emit_closed (RpmostreedTransaction *self)
+{
+  RpmostreedTransactionPrivate *priv = rpmostreed_transaction_get_private (self);
+
+  if (rpmostreed_transaction_get_active (self))
+    return;
+
+  if (g_hash_table_size (priv->peer_connections) > 0)
+    return;
+
+  g_signal_emit (self, signals[CLOSED], 0);
+  rpmostreed_sysroot_finish_txn (rpmostreed_sysroot_get (), self);
+}
+```
+
+**Key Characteristics**:
+- **Automatic Rollback**: Failed transactions automatically unlock sysroot
+- **Resource Cleanup**: Proper cleanup of system resources on failure
+- **Signal Emission**: Error signals sent to all connected clients
+- **Journal Integration**: Errors logged to systemd journal
+
+### **3. CLI Client Error Handling**
+
+#### **DBus Error Handling Patterns**
+```cpp
+// From rpmostree-clientlib.cxx
+static void
+on_owner_changed (GObject *object, GParamSpec *pspec, gpointer user_data)
+{
+  auto tp = static_cast<TransactionProgress *> (user_data);
+  tp->error = g_dbus_error_new_for_dbus_error (
+    "org.projectatomic.rpmostreed.Error.Failed",
+    "Bus owner changed, aborting. This likely means the daemon crashed; "
+    "check logs with `journalctl -xe`."
+  );
+  transaction_progress_end (tp);
+}
+
+// Transaction connection error handling
+static RPMOSTreeTransaction *
+transaction_connect (const char *transaction_address, GCancellable *cancellable, GError **error)
+{
+  GLNX_AUTO_PREFIX_ERROR ("Failed to connect to client transaction", error);
+  
+  g_autoptr (GDBusConnection) peer_connection = g_dbus_connection_new_for_address_sync (
+    transaction_address, 
+    G_DBUS_CONNECTION_FLAGS_AUTHENTICATION_CLIENT, 
+    NULL, cancellable, error
+  );
+
+  if (peer_connection == NULL)
+    return NULL;
+
+  return rpmostree_transaction_proxy_new_sync (
+    peer_connection, G_DBUS_PROXY_FLAGS_NONE, NULL, "/", 
+    cancellable, error
+  );
+}
+```
+
+#### **User-Facing Error Display**
+```cpp
+// Progress and error display
+static void
+transaction_progress_signal_handler (GDBusConnection *connection, const char *sender_name,
+                                    const char *object_path, const char *interface_name,
+                                    const char *signal_name, GVariant *parameters,
+                                    gpointer user_data)
+{
+  auto tp = static_cast<TransactionProgress *> (user_data);
+
+  if (g_strcmp0 (signal_name, "Message") == 0) {
+    const char *message;
+    g_variant_get (parameters, "(&s)", &message);
+    
+    if (!tp->progress) {
+      tp->progress = TRUE;
+      rpmostreecxx::console_progress_begin_task (message);
+    } else {
+      rpmostreecxx::console_progress_set_message (message);
+    }
+  } else if (g_strcmp0 (signal_name, "PercentProgress") == 0) {
+    guint percentage;
+    const char *message;
+    g_variant_get (parameters, "(u&s)", &percentage, &message);
+    
+    if (!tp->progress) {
+      tp->progress = TRUE;
+      rpmostreecxx::console_progress_begin_percent (message);
+    }
+    rpmostreecxx::console_progress_update (percentage);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Key Characteristics**:
+- **Error Context**: Errors include helpful context and recovery suggestions
+- **Progress Integration**: Error messages integrated with progress display
+- **User Guidance**: Clear instructions for troubleshooting (e.g., `journalctl -xe`)
+- **Graceful Degradation**: Client continues operation when possible
+
+### **4. Rust Error Handling Integration**
+
+#### **Error Type Definitions**
+```rust
+// From rust/src/lib.rs
+/// APIs defined here are automatically bridged between Rust and C++ using https://cxx.rs/
+///
+/// # Error handling
+///
+/// For fallible APIs that return a `Result<T>`:
+///
+/// - Use `Result<T>` inside `lib.rs` below
+/// - On the Rust *implementation* side, use `CxxResult<T>` which does error
+///   formatting in a more preferred way
+/// - On the C++ side, use our custom `CXX_TRY` API which converts the C++ exception
+///   into a GError. In the future, we might try a hard switch to C++ exceptions
+///   instead, but at the moment having two is problematic, so we prefer `GError`.
+```
+
+#### **System Host Type Validation**
+```rust
+// From rust/src/client.rs
+/// Return an error if the current system host type does not match expected.
+pub(crate) fn require_system_host_type(expected: SystemHostType) -> CxxResult<()> {
+    let current = get_system_host_type()?;
+    if current != expected {
+        let expected = system_host_type_str(&expected);
+        let current = system_host_type_str(&current);
+        return Err(format!(
+            "This command requires an {expected} system; found: {current}"
+        ).into());
+    }
+    Ok(())
+}
+
+/// Classify the running system.
+#[derive(Clone, Debug)]
+pub(crate) enum SystemHostType {
+    OstreeContainer,
+    OstreeHost,
+    Unknown,
+}
+```
+
+**Key Characteristics**:
+- **Hybrid Approach**: Rust `Result<T>` bridged to C++ `GError`
+- **Type Safety**: Rust enums for error classification
+- **Context Preservation**: Error messages include system context
+- **Bridging**: `CxxResult<T>` for Rust-C++ boundary
+
+## 🔄 **Error Flow Patterns**
+
+### **1. Error Propagation Flow**
+```
+System Error → Daemon → DBus Error → CLI Client → User Display
+```
+
+**Detailed Flow**:
+1. **System Operation Fails** (e.g., OSTree operation, file permission)
+2. **Daemon Catches Error** and creates appropriate error code
+3. **DBus Error Sent** to connected clients with error details
+4. **CLI Client Receives Error** and formats for user display
+5. **User Sees Error** with context and recovery suggestions
+
+### **2. Transaction Error Handling Flow**
+```
+Transaction Start → Operation Execution → Error Detection → Rollback → Error Reporting
+```
+
+**Detailed Flow**:
+1. **Transaction Begins** with sysroot locking
+2. **Operations Execute** in sequence
+3. **Error Detected** during any operation
+4. **Automatic Rollback** of completed operations
+5. **Sysroot Unlocked** and resources cleaned up
+6. **Error Reported** to all connected clients
+7. **Transaction Terminated** with error state
+
+### **3. Client Error Recovery Flow**
+```
+Error Received → Context Analysis → Recovery Attempt → Fallback → User Notification
+```
+
+**Detailed Flow**:
+1. **Error Received** from daemon via DBus
+2. **Context Analyzed** (error type, system state)
+3. **Recovery Attempted** (retry, alternative approach)
+4. **Fallback Executed** if recovery fails
+5. **User Notified** of error and recovery status
+
+## 📊 **Error Handling Responsibility Matrix**
+
+| Error Type | CLI Client | Daemon | Notes |
+|------------|------------|---------|-------|
+| **Command Parsing** | ✅ Primary | ❌ None | CLI validates user input |
+| **DBus Communication** | ✅ Client | ✅ Server | Both handle connection errors |
+| **OSTree Operations** | ❌ None | ✅ Primary | Daemon handles all OSTree errors |
+| **Package Management** | ❌ None | ✅ Primary | Daemon handles APT/RPM errors |
+| **Transaction Errors** | ✅ Display | ✅ Management | Daemon manages, CLI displays |
+| **System Errors** | ❌ None | ✅ Primary | Daemon handles system-level errors |
+| **User Input Errors** | ✅ Primary | ❌ None | CLI validates before sending |
+| **Recovery Actions** | ✅ Primary | ✅ Support | CLI guides user, daemon executes |

+### **2. Transaction Error Management**
+
+#### **Transaction Error Handling**
+```rust

+}
+```
+
+### **3. Client Error Handling**
+
+#### **CLI Error Display**
+```rust
+// src/client.rs
+impl AptOstreeClient {
+    pub async fn handle_dbus_error(&self, error: &fdo::Error) -> String {

+    }
+}
+```
+
+### **4. Error Recovery Strategies**
+
+#### **Automatic Recovery**
+```rust
+// daemon/src/recovery.rs
+pub struct ErrorRecovery {
+    max_retries: u32,
+    retry_delay: Duration,
+}
+
+impl ErrorRecovery {
+    pub async fn retry_operation<F, T, E>(
+        &self,
+        operation: F,
+        operation_name: &str,
+    ) -> Result<T, E>
+    where
+        F: Fn() -> Future<Output = Result<T, E>> + Send + Sync,
+        E: std::error::Error + Send + Sync + 'static,
+    {
+        let mut attempts = 0;

+        
+        while attempts < self.max_retries {
+            match operation().await {
+                Ok(result) => return Ok(result),
+                Err(error) => {
+                    attempts += 1;
+                    last_error = Some(error);
+                    
+                    if attempts < self.max_retries {
+                        tracing::warn!(
+                            "{} failed (attempt {}/{}), retrying in {:?}...",
+                            operation_name, attempts, self.max_retries, self.retry_delay
+                        );
+                        tokio::time::sleep(self.retry_delay).await;
+                    }
+                }
+            }
+        }
+        
+        Err(last_error.unwrap())
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### **Fallback Operations**
+```rust
+// src/fallback.rs
+impl AptOstreeClient {
+    pub async fn install_packages_with_fallback(&self, packages: &[String]) -> Result<(), Error> {
+        // Try daemon first
+        if let Ok(client) = AptOstreeClient::new().await {
+            match client.install_packages(packages).await {
+                Ok(()) => return Ok(()),
+                Err(error) => {
+                    tracing::warn!("Daemon installation failed: {}", error);
+                    // Fall through to fallback
+                }
+            }
+        }
+        
+        // Fallback to direct operations (limited functionality)
+        tracing::info!("Using fallback installation mode");
+        self.install_packages_direct(packages).await
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## 🎯 **Key Implementation Principles**
+
+### **1. Error Classification**
+- **User Errors**: Invalid input, permission issues
+- **System Errors**: OSTree failures, file system issues
+- **Network Errors**: Package download failures
+- **Transaction Errors**: Rollback failures, state corruption
+
+### **2. Error Recovery Priority**
+1. **Automatic Recovery**: Retry operations, rollback transactions
+2. **Graceful Degradation**: Fallback to limited functionality
+3. **User Guidance**: Clear error messages with recovery steps
+4. **Logging**: Comprehensive error logging for debugging
+
+### **3. User Experience**
+- **Clear Messages**: Error messages explain what went wrong
+- **Recovery Steps**: Provide specific actions to resolve issues
+- **Progress Integration**: Errors integrated with progress display
+- **Context Preservation**: Maintain context across error boundaries
+
+### **4. System Reliability**
+- **Transaction Safety**: Failed operations don't leave system in bad state
+- **Resource Cleanup**: Proper cleanup of locked resources
+- **Rollback Support**: Automatic rollback of failed operations
+- **State Consistency**: Maintain consistent system state
+
+This error handling analysis provides the foundation for implementing robust error handling in apt-ostree that maintains the reliability and user experience standards established by rpm-ostree while adapting to the Debian/Ubuntu ecosystem.

+# Live Updates Architecture
+
+## Overview
+
+This document describes the live updates architecture for `apt-ostree`, covering how the system handles live updates, user overlays, and runtime modifications without requiring system reboots. The design enables dynamic system updates while maintaining system stability and consistency.
+
+## Live Update Commands
+
+### Core Live Update Commands
+
+#### `apt-ostree apply-live`
+Applies live updates to the running system.
+
+**Purpose:**
+- Apply package updates without reboot
+- Update system configuration
+- Modify running services
+- Apply security patches
+
+**Implementation Details:**
+- Package installation in user space
+- Service restart and reload
+- Configuration file updates
+- Runtime state management
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+# Apply live updates
+apt-ostree apply-live
+
+# Apply specific package updates
+apt-ostree apply-live --packages=nginx,postgresql
+
+# Apply with service restart
+apt-ostree apply-live --restart-services
+```
+
+**Options:**
+- `--packages`: Specific packages to update
+- `--restart-services`: Restart affected services
+- `--dry-run`: Show what would be updated
+- `--force`: Force update even if risky
+
+#### `apt-ostree usroverlay`
+Manages user overlays for live modifications.
+
+**Purpose:**
+- Create temporary file overlays
+- Modify system files at runtime
+- Test configuration changes
+- Apply temporary fixes
+
+**Implementation Details:**
+- Overlay filesystem creation
+- File modification tracking
+- Change persistence management
+- Overlay cleanup and removal
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+# Create user overlay
+apt-ostree usroverlay --create
+
+# Add file to overlay
+apt-ostree usroverlay --add=/etc/nginx/nginx.conf
+
+# Remove overlay
+apt-ostree usroverlay --remove
+```
+
+**Options:**
+- `--create`: Create new overlay
+- `--add`: Add file to overlay
+- `--remove`: Remove overlay
+- `--list`: List overlay contents
+
+## Live Update Architecture
+
+### Overlay Filesystem System
+
+#### Overlay Structure
+
+The live update system uses overlay filesystems:
+
+```
+System Structure:
+├── Base OSTree (read-only)
+├── User Overlay (read-write)
+└── Runtime Modifications (temporary)
+```
+
+**Components:**
+- **Base layer**: Original OSTree deployment
+- **User overlay**: Persistent user modifications
+- **Runtime layer**: Temporary runtime changes
+- **Union mount**: Combined filesystem view
+
+#### Overlay Types
+
+1. **User Overlays**
+   - Persistent across reboots
+   - User-specific modifications
+   - Configuration customizations
+   - Package additions
+
+2. **Runtime Overlays**
+   - Temporary modifications
+   - Service state changes
+   - Configuration updates
+   - Package installations
+
+3. **System Overlays**
+   - System-wide modifications
+   - Service configurations
+   - Security updates
+   - System customizations
+
+### Live Update Process
+
+#### Update Workflow

+# 🔍 **rpm-ostree Monitoring and Logging Analysis**
+
+## 📋 **Overview**
+
+This document provides a comprehensive analysis of rpm-ostree's actual monitoring and logging implementation based on examination of the source code, comparing it with the existing apt-ostree monitoring documentation. This analysis reveals significant differences between the documented approach and the actual implementation.
+
+## 🏗️ **rpm-ostree Monitoring Architecture (Actual Implementation)**
+
+### **Component Structure**
+```
+┌─────────────────┐    ┌──────────────────┐    ┌─────────────────┐
+│   CLI Client    │    │   Progress       │    │   Systemd       │
+│   (rpm-ostree)  │◄──►│   Management     │◄──►│   Integration   │
+│                 │    │                 │    │                 │
+│ • Console Output│    │ • Progress Bars │    │ • Journal Logs  │
+│ • User Feedback │    │ • Task Tracking │    │ • Service Logs  │
+│ • Error Display │    │ • Status Updates│    │ • Transaction   │
+└─────────────────┘    └──────────────────┘    └─────────────────┘
+```
+
+### **Key Design Principles**
+1. **Minimal Monitoring**: No comprehensive monitoring system like apt-ostree documentation describes
+2. **Progress-Centric**: Focus on user-facing progress and status updates
+3. **Systemd Integration**: Basic systemd journal logging for daemon operations
+4. **Console-First**: Rich console output with progress bars and status updates
+5. **No Metrics Collection**: No systematic metrics gathering or health checks
+
+## 🔍 **Detailed Implementation Analysis**
+
+### **1. Progress Management System**
+
+#### **Console Progress Implementation**
+```rust
+// From rust/src/console_progress.rs - Progress bar management
+pub(crate) fn console_progress_begin_task(msg: &str) {
+    let mut lock = PROGRESS.lock().unwrap();
+    assert_empty(&lock, msg);
+    *lock = Some(ProgressState::new(msg, ProgressType::Task));
+}
+
+pub(crate) fn console_progress_begin_n_items(msg: &str, n: u64) {
+    let mut lock = PROGRESS.lock().unwrap();
+    assert_empty(&lock, msg);
+    *lock = Some(ProgressState::new(msg, ProgressType::NItems(n)));
+}
+
+pub(crate) fn console_progress_begin_percent(msg: &str) {
+    let mut lock = PROGRESS.lock().unwrap();
+    assert_empty(&lock, msg);
+    *lock = Some(ProgressState::new(msg, ProgressType::Percent));
+}
+```
+
+**Key Characteristics**:
+- **Single Progress Bar**: Only one progress bar active at a time
+- **Multiple Types**: Task, N-Items, and Percent progress modes
+- **TTY Awareness**: Adapts output for terminal vs non-terminal environments
+- **State Management**: Global progress state with mutex protection
+
+#### **Progress Types**
+```rust
+#[derive(PartialEq, Debug)]
+enum ProgressType {
+    Task,           // Spinner with message
+    NItems(u64),    // Progress bar with item count
+    Percent,        // Progress bar with percentage
+}
+```
+
+**Implementation Details**:
+- **Task Mode**: Spinner with "Task...done" format
+- **N-Items Mode**: Progress bar with item count and ETA
+- **Percent Mode**: Progress bar with percentage and ETA
+- **Non-TTY Fallback**: Simple text output for non-interactive environments
+
+### **2. Daemon Logging (Minimal)**
+
+#### **Systemd Journal Integration**
+```cpp
+// From src/daemon/rpmostreed-daemon.cxx - Systemd integration
+#include <systemd/sd-daemon.h>
+#include <systemd/sd-journal.h>
+#include <systemd/sd-login.h>
+
+// From src/daemon/rpmostreed-transaction.cxx - Transaction logging
+static void
+unlock_sysroot (RpmostreedTransaction *self)
+{
+  RpmostreedTransactionPrivate *priv = rpmostreed_transaction_get_private (self);
+
+  if (!(priv->sysroot && priv->sysroot_locked))
+    return;
+
+  ostree_sysroot_unlock (priv->sysroot);
+  sd_journal_print (LOG_INFO, "Unlocked sysroot");
+  priv->sysroot_locked = FALSE;
+}
+```
+
+**Key Characteristics**:
+- **Basic Journal Logging**: Only critical operations logged to systemd journal
+- **Transaction Events**: Logs transaction start, connection, and completion
+- **No Structured Logging**: Simple text messages, no JSON or structured data
+- **No Metrics**: No performance or system metrics collection
+
+#### **Transaction Logging**
+```cpp
+// From src/daemon/rpmostreed-transaction.cxx - Connection logging
+static void
+transaction_connection_closed_cb (GDBusConnection *connection, gboolean remote_peer_vanished,
+                                  GError *error, RpmostreedTransaction *self)
+{
+  RpmostreedTransactionPrivate *priv = rpmostreed_transaction_get_private (self);
+
+  g_autofree char *creds = creds_to_string (g_dbus_connection_get_peer_credentials (connection));
+  if (remote_peer_vanished)
+    sd_journal_print (LOG_INFO, "Process %s disconnected from transaction progress", creds);
+  else
+    sd_journal_print (LOG_INFO, "Disconnecting process %s from transaction progress", creds);
+
+  g_hash_table_remove (priv->peer_connections, connection);
+  transaction_maybe_emit_closed (self);
+}
+```
+
+**Logging Coverage**:
+- **Connection Events**: Client connections and disconnections
+- **Transaction State**: Sysroot locking/unlocking
+- **Error Conditions**: Basic error logging
+- **No Performance Data**: No timing or resource usage metrics
+
+### **3. Client-Side Progress Integration**
+
+#### **Progress Bar Integration**
+```cpp
+// From src/app/rpmostree-clientlib.cxx - Progress integration
+static void
+on_progress (GDBusConnection *connection, const char *sender, const char *object_path,
+             const char *interface_name, const char *signal_name, GVariant *parameters,
+             gpointer user_data)
+{
+  auto tp = static_cast<TransactionProgress *> (user_data);
+  auto percentage = g_variant_get_uint32 (g_variant_get_child_value (parameters, 0));
+  auto message = g_variant_get_string (g_variant_get_child_value (parameters, 1), NULL);
+
+  if (!tp->progress)
+    {
+      tp->progress = TRUE;
+      rpmostreecxx::console_progress_begin_percent (message);
+    }
+  rpmostreecxx::console_progress_update (percentage);
+}
+```
+
+**Key Characteristics**:
+- **DBus Signal Integration**: Progress updates via DBus signals from daemon
+- **Real-time Updates**: Live progress updates during operations
+- **User Feedback**: Rich console output with progress bars
+- **No Persistence**: Progress information not stored or analyzed
+
+### **4. Error Handling and Reporting**
+
+#### **Error Definition**
+```cpp
+// From src/daemon/rpmostreed-errors.cxx - Error types
+static const GDBusErrorEntry dbus_error_entries[] = {
+  { RPM_OSTREED_ERROR_FAILED, "org.projectatomic.rpmostreed.Error.Failed" },
+  { RPM_OSTREED_ERROR_INVALID_SYSROOT, "org.projectatomic.rpmostreed.Error.InvalidSysroot" },
+  { RPM_OSTREED_ERROR_NOT_AUTHORIZED, "org.projectatomic.rpmostreed.Error.NotAuthorized" },
+  { RPM_OSTREED_ERROR_UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS, "org.projectatomic.rpmostreed.Error.UpdateInProgress" },
+  { RPM_OSTREED_ERROR_INVALID_REFSPEC, "org.projectatomic.rpmostreed.Error.InvalidRefspec" },
+};
+```
+
+**Error Coverage**:
+- **DBus Errors**: Well-defined error types for DBus communication
+- **Transaction Errors**: Basic transaction failure scenarios
+- **Authorization Errors**: Permission and access control errors
+- **No Health Checks**: No systematic health monitoring or validation

+            std::process::exit(1);
+        }
+    }
+    
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+#### **Progress Integration**
+```rust
+// src/operations/package_install.rs - Progress + monitoring integration
+pub async fn install_packages(
+    packages: Vec<String>,
+    monitoring: &AptOstreeMonitoring,
+) -> Result<()> {

+        packages.len() as u64,
+    )?;
+    
+    let result = monitoring.monitoring_manager.monitor_operation(
+        "package_installation",
+        || async {
+            for (i, package) in packages.iter().enumerate() {

+    progress.end_progress("done")?;
+    Ok(result)
+}
+```

+# 🔍 **rpm-ostree OCI Integration Analysis**
+
+## 📋 **Overview**
+
+This document provides a comprehensive analysis of rpm-ostree's OCI (Open Container Initiative) integration capabilities, examining how OCI operations are implemented and how they relate to the CLI vs daemon separation. This analysis is based on examination of the actual rpm-ostree source code rather than speculative documentation.
+
+## 🏗️ **OCI Architecture Overview**
+
+### **Component Structure**
+```
+┌─────────────────┐    ┌─────────────────┐    ┌─────────────────┐
+│   CLI Client    │    │   OCI Layer     │    │   OSTree Core   │

+│ • Progress      │    │ • Format Conv   │    │ • Metadata      │
+└─────────────────┘    └─────────────────┘    └─────────────────┘
+```
+
+### **Key Design Principles**
+1. **CLI-Centric OCI Operations**: OCI operations are primarily CLI-based, not daemon-based
+2. **Direct OSTree Integration**: Container operations directly access OSTree repository
+3. **External Tool Integration**: Uses external tools (podman, buildah) for container operations
+4. **Rust Implementation**: OCI functionality is implemented in Rust, not C++ daemon
+
+## 🔍 **Detailed OCI Implementation Analysis**
+
+### **1. OCI Command Structure**
+
+#### **CLI Entry Points**
+```rust
+// From rust/src/main.rs - OCI command dispatch
+"container-encapsulate" => {
+    rpmostree_rust::client::warn_future_incompatibility(
+        "This entrypoint is deprecated; use `rpm-ostree compose container-encapsulate` instead",
+    );
+    rpmostree_rust::container::container_encapsulate(args_orig).map(|_| 0)
+        .map_err(anyhow::Error::msg)
+},
+```
+
+**Key Characteristics**:
+- **CLI-Only**: OCI operations are CLI commands, not daemon operations
+- **Deprecated Path**: Direct `container-encapsulate` is deprecated in favor of compose workflow
+- **Rust Implementation**: Full OCI functionality implemented in Rust, not C++ daemon
+- **No DBus Integration**: OCI operations don't go through the daemon
+
+#### **Compose Integration**
+```rust
+// From rust/src/compose.rs - Compose-based OCI operations
+// The compose module integrates OCI operations into the compose workflow
+// rather than exposing them as standalone daemon operations
+```
+
+**Key Characteristics**:
+- **Workflow Integration**: OCI operations integrated into compose workflow
+- **Higher-Level Abstractions**: Compose provides higher-level container operations
+- **Daemon Independence**: OCI operations don't require daemon communication
+
+### **2. Core OCI Implementation**
+
+#### **Container Encapsulation**
+```rust
+// From rust/src/container.rs - Main OCI implementation
+#[derive(Debug, Parser)]
+struct ContainerEncapsulateOpts {
+    #[clap(long)]
+    #[clap(value_parser)]
+    repo: Utf8PathBuf,
+
+    /// OSTree branch name or checksum
+    ostree_ref: String,
+
+    /// Image reference, e.g. registry:quay.io/exampleos/exampleos:latest
+    #[clap(value_parser = ostree_ext::cli::parse_base_imgref)]
+    imgref: ImageReference,
+
+    /// Additional labels for the container
+    #[clap(name = "label", long, short)]
+    labels: Vec<String>,
+
+    /// Path to container image configuration in JSON format
+    #[clap(long)]
+    image_config: Option<Utf8PathBuf>,
+
+    /// Override the architecture
+    #[clap(long)]
+    arch: Option<Arch>,
+
+    /// Maximum number of container image layers
+    #[clap(long)]
+    max_layers: Option<NonZeroU32>,
+
+    /// The encapsulated container format version; must be 1 or 2
+    #[clap(long, default_value = "1")]
+    format_version: u32,
+}
+```
+
+**Key Characteristics**:
+- **Direct Repository Access**: Direct access to OSTree repository, no daemon mediation
+- **Rich Configuration**: Extensive configuration options for container generation
+- **Format Flexibility**: Support for multiple container format versions
+- **Architecture Override**: Ability to override target architecture
+
+#### **OSTree Integration**
+```rust
+// From rust/src/container.rs - OSTree commit processing
+pub fn container_encapsulate(args: Vec<String>) -> CxxResult<()> {
+    let args = args.iter().skip(1).map(|s| s.as_str());
+    let opt = ContainerEncapsulateOpts::parse_from(args);
+    let repo = &ostree_ext::cli::parse_repo(&opt.repo)?;
+    let (root, rev) = repo.read_commit(opt.ostree_ref.as_str(), gio::Cancellable::NONE)?;
+    
+    // Read package information directly from commit
+    let pkglist: glib::Variant = {
+        let r = crate::ffi::package_variant_list_for_commit(
+            repo.reborrow_cxx(),
+            rev.as_str(),
+            cancellable.reborrow_cxx(),
+        )
+        .context("Reading package variant list")?;
+        unsafe { glib::translate::from_glib_full(r as *mut _) }
+    };
+
+    // Process packages and generate container metadata
+    // ... container generation logic
+}
+```
+
+**Key Characteristics**:
+- **Direct Commit Access**: Direct reading of OSTree commits without daemon
+- **Package Metadata**: Direct access to package information from commits
+- **C++ Bridge**: Uses C++ FFI for package metadata, but Rust for container logic
+- **No Transaction Management**: OCI operations don't use daemon transaction system
+
+### **3. Container Storage Integration**
+
+#### **External Tool Integration**
+```rust
+// From rust/src/containers_storage.rs - Container storage management
+#[derive(Debug, Copy, Clone)]
+enum Backend {
+    Podman,
+    Buildah,
+}
+
+impl AsRef<str> for Backend {
+    fn as_ref(&self) -> &'static str {
+        match self {
+            Backend::Podman => "podman",
+            Backend::Buildah => "buildah",
+        }
+    }
+}
+
+pub(crate) struct Mount {
+    backend: Backend,
+    path: Utf8PathBuf,
+    temp_cid: Option<String>,
+    mounted: bool,
+}
+```
+
+**Key Characteristics**:
+- **External Dependencies**: Relies on external container tools (podman, buildah)
+- **Backend Detection**: Automatic detection of available container backends
+- **Mount Management**: Temporary container mounting for filesystem access
+- **Resource Cleanup**: Automatic cleanup of temporary containers and mounts
+
+#### **Container Mounting**
+```rust
+// From rust/src/containers_storage.rs - Container mounting operations
+impl Mount {
+    pub(crate) fn new_for_image(image: &str) -> Result<Self> {
+        let backend = Self::detect_backend()?;
+        let mut o = match backend {
+            Backend::Podman => Command::new(backend.as_ref())
+                .args(["create", image])
+                .run_get_output()?,
+            Backend::Buildah => Command::new(backend.as_ref())
+                .args(["from", image])
+                .run_get_output()?,
+        };
+        
+        let mut s = String::new();
+        o.read_to_string(&mut s)?;
+        let cid = s.trim();
+        let path = Self::_impl_mount(backend, cid)?;
+        
+        Ok(Self {
+            backend,
+            path,
+            temp_cid: Some(cid.to_owned()),
+            mounted: true,
+        })
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Key Characteristics**:
+- **Command Execution**: Uses external commands for container operations

+- **Cross-Platform**: Supports both podman and buildah backends
+- **Mount Management**: Manages temporary mounts for container filesystem access
+
+### **4. OCI Image Generation**
+
+#### **Filesystem Mapping**
+```rust
+// From rust/src/container.rs - Filesystem to container mapping
+struct MappingBuilder {
+    unpackaged_id: Rc<String>,
+    packagemeta: ObjectMetaSet,
+    componentmeta: ObjectMetaSet,
+    checksum_paths: BTreeMap<String, BTreeSet<Utf8PathBuf>>,
+    path_packages: HashMap<Utf8PathBuf, BTreeSet<Rc<String>>>,
+    path_components: HashMap<Utf8PathBuf, BTreeSet<Rc<String>>>,
+    skip: HashSet<Utf8PathBuf>,
+    component_ids: HashSet<String>,
+    rpmsize: u64,
+}
+```
+
+**Key Characteristics**:
+- **Package Tracking**: Maps filesystem paths to package information
+- **Component Support**: Supports component-based packaging systems
+- **Checksum Mapping**: Maps file checksums to paths for deduplication

+
+#### **Layer Generation**
+```rust
+// From rust/src/container.rs - Container layer generation
+fn build_fs_mapping_recurse(
+    path: &mut Utf8PathBuf,
+    dir: &cap_std::fs::Dir,
+    state: &mut MappingBuilder,
+) -> Result<()> {
+    for child in dir.entries()? {
+        let childi = child?;
+        let name: Utf8PathBuf = childi.name().try_into()?;
+        let child = dir.child(&name);
+        path.push(&name);
+        
+        match childi.file_type() {
+            gio::FileType::Regular | gio::FileType::SymbolicLink => {
+                let child = child.downcast::<ostree::RepoFile>().unwrap();
+                
+                // Track component information from extended attributes
+                if let Some(component_name) = get_user_component_xattr(&child)? {
+                    let component_id = Rc::from(component_name.clone());
+                    state.component_ids.insert(component_name);
+                    state
+                        .path_components
+                        .entry(path.clone())
+                        .or_default()
+                        .insert(Rc::clone(&component_id));
+                }
+                
+                // Track package information
+                let checksum = child.checksum().to_string();
+                state
+                    .checksum_paths
+                    .entry(checksum)
+                    .or_default()
+                    .insert(path.clone());
+            }
+            gio::FileType::Directory => {
+                build_fs_mapping_recurse(path, &child, state)?;
+            }
+            o => anyhow::bail!("Unhandled file type: {o:?}"),
+        }
+        path.pop();
+    }
+    Ok(())
+}

+
+## 🚀 **apt-ostree OCI Implementation Strategy**
+
+### **1. Architecture Decision**
+
+#### **CLI-Centric OCI Operations**
+```rust
+// OCI operations should be CLI-based, not daemon-based
+// This follows rpm-ostree's proven architecture
+
+impl AptOstreeCli {
+    pub async fn container_encapsulate(
+        &self,
+        ostree_ref: &str,
+        image_ref: &str,
+        options: ContainerOptions,
+    ) -> Result<()> {
+        // Direct OSTree access - no daemon required
+        let repo = self.get_ostree_repo().await?;
+        let (root, rev) = repo.read_commit(ostree_ref).await?;
+        
+        // Generate container image directly
+        let container = self.generate_container_image(root, options).await?;
+        
+        // Output container image
+        self.write_container_image(container, image_ref).await?;
+        
+        Ok(())
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Rationale**:
+- **Performance**: Direct access avoids DBus overhead
+- **Simplicity**: No complex transaction management needed
+- **Reliability**: Fewer failure points without daemon dependency
+- **Consistency**: Follows rpm-ostree's proven architecture
+
+#### **External Tool Integration**
+```rust
+// Use external tools for container operations, like rpm-ostree
+pub struct ContainerBackend {
+    backend_type: BackendType,
+    command_path: PathBuf,
+}
+
+impl ContainerBackend {
+    pub fn detect_available() -> Result<Vec<Self>> {
+        let mut backends = Vec::new();
+        
+        // Check for podman
+        if let Ok(path) = which::which("podman") {
+            backends.push(Self {
+                backend_type: BackendType::Podman,
+                command_path: path,
+            });
+        }
+        
+        // Check for buildah
+        if let Ok(path) = which::which("buildah") {
+            backends.push(Self {
+                backend_type: BackendType::Buildah,
+                command_path: path,
+            });
+        }
+        
+        Ok(backends)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+**Rationale**:
+- **Maturity**: External tools are mature and well-tested
+- **Standards**: Follows container ecosystem standards
+- **Maintenance**: Reduces maintenance burden on apt-ostree
+- **Compatibility**: Ensures compatibility with existing container workflows
+
+### **2. Implementation Structure**
+
+#### **Core OCI Module**
+```rust
+// src/oci/mod.rs - Main OCI functionality
+pub mod container;
+pub mod registry;
+pub mod storage;
+pub mod utils;
+
+pub use container::ContainerEncapsulator;
+pub use registry::RegistryClient;
+pub use storage::ContainerStorage;
+pub use utils::OciUtils;
+```
+
+#### **Container Encapsulation**
+```rust
+// src/oci/container.rs - Container image generation
+pub struct ContainerEncapsulator {
+    ostree_manager: OstreeManager,
+    apt_manager: AptManager,
+    options: ContainerOptions,
+}
+
+impl ContainerEncapsulator {
+    pub async fn encapsulate_commit(
+        &self,
+        ostree_ref: &str,
+        image_ref: &str,
+    ) -> Result<()> {
+        // 1. Read OSTree commit
+        let (root, rev) = self.ostree_manager.read_commit(ostree_ref).await?;
+        
+        // 2. Extract package information
+        let packages = self.apt_manager.get_commit_packages(&rev).await?;
+        
+        // 3. Generate filesystem mapping
+        let mapping = self.generate_filesystem_mapping(&root, &packages).await?;
+        
+        // 4. Create container layers
+        let layers = self.create_container_layers(&mapping).await?;
+        
+        // 5. Generate OCI manifest
+        let manifest = self.generate_oci_manifest(&layers, image_ref).await?;
+        
+        // 6. Write container image
+        self.write_container_image(&manifest, &layers, image_ref).await?;
+        
+        Ok(())
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### **Registry Integration**
+```rust
+// src/oci/registry.rs - Container registry operations
+pub struct RegistryClient {
+    registry_url: String,
+    credentials: Option<RegistryCredentials>,
+}
+
+impl RegistryClient {
+    pub async fn push_image(
+        &self,
+        image_path: &Path,
+        image_ref: &str,
+    ) -> Result<()> {
+        // Use external tool (skopeo) for registry operations
+        let output = Command::new("skopeo")
+            .args([

+
+## 🎯 **Key Implementation Principles**
+
+### **1. CLI-Centric Architecture**
+- **Direct Access**: OCI operations directly access OSTree repository
+- **No Daemon Dependency**: OCI operations don't require daemon communication
+- **Local Processing**: All container generation happens locally
+- **External Tools**: Use external tools for container operations
+
+### **2. External Tool Integration**
+- **Tool Detection**: Automatic detection of available container tools
+- **Backend Support**: Support for multiple container backends
+- **Command Execution**: Execute external commands for container operations
+- **Error Handling**: Proper error handling for external tool failures
+
+### **3. OSTree Integration**
+- **Direct Repository Access**: Direct access to OSTree repository
+- **Package Metadata**: Extract package information from commits
+- **Filesystem Mapping**: Map filesystem to package metadata
+- **Component Support**: Support for component-based packaging
+
+### **4. Progress and Error Handling**
+- **Local Progress**: Local progress reporting without daemon
+- **Error Propagation**: Proper error propagation from external tools
+- **Resource Cleanup**: Automatic cleanup of temporary resources
+- **User Feedback**: Clear user feedback for OCI operations
+
+## 📚 **Documentation Status**
+
+### **Current Documentation Issues**
+1. **Speculative Content**: Some existing OCI documentation contains speculative content
+2. **Incorrect Architecture**: Claims OCI operations go through daemon (they don't)
+3. **Missing Implementation**: No actual OCI implementation exists in current apt-ostree
+4. **Outdated Information**: Documentation doesn't reflect actual rpm-ostree implementation
+
+### **Corrected Understanding**
+1. **CLI-Only Operations**: OCI operations are CLI-based, not daemon-based
+2. **Direct OSTree Access**: Direct access to OSTree repository without daemon
+3. **External Tool Integration**: Uses external tools for container operations
+4. **Rust Implementation**: Full OCI functionality implemented in Rust
+
+This OCI integration analysis provides the foundation for implementing OCI functionality in apt-ostree that follows the proven architecture of rpm-ostree while maintaining the CLI-centric approach that has proven successful for container operations.

+# 🚀 **apt-ostree OSTree Handling Architecture**
+
+## 📋 **Overview**
+
+This document outlines the OSTree handling responsibilities and architecture for apt-ostree, based on analysis of the rpm-ostree implementation. It explains the separation of concerns between the CLI client (`apt-ostree`) and the daemon (`apt-ostreed`), and provides detailed implementation guidance for OSTree operations.
+
+## 🏗️ **Architecture Overview**
+
+### **Component Separation**

+
+### **Responsibility Distribution**
+
+#### **CLI Client (`apt-ostree`)**
+- **Command parsing** and user interface
+- **DBus communication** with daemon
+- **Progress display** and user feedback
+- **Error reporting** and recovery suggestions
+- **Fallback operations** when daemon unavailable
+
+#### **Daemon (`apt-ostreed`)**
+- **OSTree operations** and filesystem management
+- **Transaction management** and atomic operations
+- **System state** monitoring and updates
+- **Privilege management** and security
+- **Long-running operations** and background tasks
+
+## 🔍 **OSTree Operations Analysis**
+
+### **Core OSTree Responsibilities**
+
+Based on the rpm-ostree analysis, the following OSTree operations are handled by the daemon:
+
+#### **1. Deployment Management**
+```rust
+// Core deployment operations handled by daemon
+pub struct OstreeManager {
+    repo: Arc<RwLock<Repo>>,
+    sysroot_path: PathBuf,
+}
+
+impl OstreeManager {
+    // List all deployments
+    pub async fn list_deployments(&self) -> Result<Vec<DeploymentInfo>, OstreeError>
+    
+    // Get currently booted deployment
+    pub async fn get_booted_deployment(&self) -> Result<Option<DeploymentInfo>, OstreeError>
+    
+    // Create new deployment
+    pub async fn create_deployment(&self, refspec: &str) -> Result<String, OstreeError>
+    
+    // Deploy specific commit
+    pub async fn deploy_commit(&self, commit: &str) -> Result<(), OstreeError>
+    
+    // Rollback to previous deployment
+    pub async fn rollback_deployment(&self) -> Result<(), OstreeError>
+}
+```
+
+#### **2. Repository Operations**
+```rust
+impl OstreeManager {
+    // Pull new content from remote
+    pub async fn pull_ref(&self, refspec: &str) -> Result<String, OstreeError>
+    
+    // Check for updates
+    pub async fn check_for_updates(&self) -> Result<UpdateInfo, OstreeError>
+    
+    // Generate repository metadata
+    pub async fn refresh_metadata(&self) -> Result<(), OstreeError>
+}
+```
+
+#### **3. Filesystem Operations**
+```rust
+impl OstreeManager {
+    // Create staging deployment
+    pub async fn create_staging_deployment(&self) -> Result<String, OstreeError>
+    
+    // Install packages in staging
+    pub async fn install_packages_in_staging(
+        &self,
+        staging_ref: &str,
+        packages: &[String],
+    ) -> Result<(), OstreeError>
+    
+    // Commit staging deployment
+    pub async fn commit_staging_deployment(
+        &self,
+        staging_ref: &str,
+        message: &str,
+    ) -> Result<String, OstreeError>
+}
+```
+
+#### **4. Boot Configuration**
+```rust
+impl OstreeManager {
+    // Get deployment boot configuration
+    pub async fn get_deployment_boot_config(
+        &self,
+        deploy_id: &str,
+        is_pending: bool,
+    ) -> Result<BootConfig, OstreeError>
+    
+    // Set kernel arguments
+    pub async fn set_kernel_args(
+        &self,
+        added: &[String],
+        removed: &[String],
+        replaced: &[String],
+    ) -> Result<(), OstreeError>
+    
+    // Manage initramfs
+    pub async fn set_initramfs_state(
+        &self,
+        regenerate: bool,
+        args: &[String],
+    ) -> Result<(), OstreeError>
+}
+```
+
+## 🏗️ **Package Layering Architecture - CRITICAL SECTION**
+
+### **Understanding Package Layers in OSTree**
+
+**Package layers ARE new OSTree commits** - they're not separate from OSTree, they're how apt-ostree implements package management on top of OSTree's immutable filesystem model.
+
+#### **Layer Structure in OSTree Repository**
+
+```
+OSTree Repository Structure:
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│ Base Image Commit (e.g., Debian 13 Trixie)            │
+│ ├── /usr/bin/bash                                      │
+│ ├── /usr/lib/systemd                                   │
+│ ├── /etc/os-release                                     │
+│ └── ... (immutable base system)                        │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+                                    ↓
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│ Package Layer Commit (e.g., user installed vim)        │
+│ ├── /usr/bin/vim                                       │
+│ ├── /usr/share/vim                                     │
+│ ├── /var/lib/dpkg/info/vim.postinst                    │
+│ └── ... (vim package files)                            │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+                                    ↓
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│ Another Package Layer (e.g., user installed git)       │
+│ ├── /usr/bin/git                                       │
+│ ├── /usr/share/git                                     │

+│ └── ... (git package files)                            │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+### **Complete Package Installation Workflow**
+
+#### **Example: `apt-ostree install vim`**
+
+```rust
+// Complete workflow from CLI command to new OSTree commit:
+
+// 1. CLI receives command: "apt-ostree install vim"
+// 2. CLI communicates with daemon via DBus
+// 3. Daemon creates transaction and begins package layering
+// 4. New OSTree commit is created (this IS the layer)
+// 5. System boots from new commit
+
+impl AptOstreeIntegration {
+    pub async fn install_packages(&self, packages: &[String]) -> Result<String, Error> {
+        // 1. Create staging deployment from current booted commit
+        let staging_ref = self.ostree_manager.create_staging_deployment().await?;
+        
+        // 2. Resolve package dependencies (e.g., vim -> vim-common, vim-runtime)
+        let all_packages = self.apt_manager.resolve_dependencies(packages).await?;
+        
+        // 3. Download packages from APT repositories
+        let package_paths = self.apt_manager.download_packages(&all_packages).await?;
+        
+        // 4. Extract packages to staging deployment
+        for (package, path) in all_packages.iter().zip(package_paths.iter()) {
+            self.extract_package_to_staging(&staging_ref, package, path).await?;
+        }
+        
+        // 5. Execute package scripts (preinst, postinst)
+        self.execute_package_scripts(&staging_ref, &all_packages).await?;
+        
+        // 6. Commit staging deployment as new OSTree commit
+        let commit_hash = self.ostree_manager.commit_staging_deployment(
+            &staging_ref,
+            &format!("Install packages: {}", packages.join(", ")),
+        ).await?;
+        
+        // 7. Update boot configuration to use new commit
+        self.ostree_manager.set_default_deployment(&commit_hash).await?;
+        
+        Ok(commit_hash)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### **Layer Creation Process**
+
+```rust
+// Detailed layer creation workflow:
+impl AptOstreeIntegration {
+    async fn create_package_layer(
+        &self,
+        base_commit: &str,

+    ) -> Result<String, Error> {
+        // 1. Extract base filesystem from current OSTree commit
+        let base_tree = self.ostree_manager.read_commit(base_commit).await?;
+        
+        // 2. Create temporary directory for new layer
+        let layer_path = tempfile::tempdir()?.path().to_path_buf();
+        
+        // 3. Copy base filesystem to layer
+        self.copy_tree(&base_tree, &layer_path).await?;
+        
+        // 4. Apply DEB packages to layer
+        for package in packages {
+            self.apply_package_to_layer(package, &layer_path).await?;
+        }
+        
+        // 5. Process package scripts and handle conflicts
+        self.process_package_scripts(&layer_path, packages).await?;
+        
+        // 6. Create new OSTree commit from layer
+        let new_commit = self.ostree_manager.commit_tree(
+            &layer_path,
+            &format!("Package layer: {}", packages.join(", ")),
+            Some(base_commit), // Parent commit
+        ).await?;
+        
+        // 7. Update ref to point to new commit
+        self.ostree_manager.update_ref("debian/13/x86_64/silverblue", &new_commit).await?;
+

+
+### **Layer Rollback and Recovery**
+
+#### **Rollback Implementation**
+
+```rust
+// Rollback to previous package layer:
+impl AptOstreeIntegration {
+    pub async fn rollback_to_previous_layer(&self) -> Result<(), Error> {
+        // 1. Get current and previous deployments

+        // 2. Set previous deployment as default
+        self.ostree_manager.set_default_deployment(&previous.checksum).await?;
+        
+        // 3. Reboot system to activate rollback
+        self.ostree_manager.reboot_system().await?;

+            .ok_or(Error::NoBootedDeployment)?;
+        
+        // Find all previous deployments
+        let rollbacks: Vec<_> = deployments.iter()
+            .filter(|d| d.serial < current.serial)

+
+## 🔄 **Transaction Flow**
+
+### **1. Transaction Creation**
+```
+Client Request → Daemon → Create Transaction Object → Return Transaction Path
+```
+
+**Implementation**:
+```rust
+// In daemon
+impl AptOstreeDaemon {
+    async fn create_transaction(&self) -> zbus::fdo::Result<String> {
+        let transaction = Transaction::new(
+            self.get_user_id().await?,
+            self.get_session_id().await?,
+            "Package installation".to_string(),
+            "apt-ostree CLI".to_string(),
+        );
+        
+        let transaction_id = transaction.id.clone();
+        self.transactions.write().await.insert(transaction_id.clone(), transaction);
+        
+        Ok(transaction_id)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### **2. Transaction Execution**
+```
+Transaction.Start() → Lock Sysroot → Execute Operations → Emit Progress Signals
+```
+
+**Implementation**:
+```rust
+impl Transaction {
+    pub async fn execute(&mut self, daemon: &AptOstreeDaemon) -> Result<(), TransactionError> {
+        self.state = TransactionState::InProgress;
+        
+        // Lock sysroot
+        self.sysroot_locked = true;
+        
+        // Execute operations
+        for operation in &self.operations {
+            match operation {
+                Operation::InstallPackage { name, version } => {
+                    daemon.install_package(name, version).await?;
+                }
+                Operation::RemovePackage { name } => {
+                    daemon.remove_package(name).await?;
+                }
+                Operation::UpdateSystem => {
+                    daemon.update_system().await?;
+                }
+                // ... other operations
+            }
+        }
+        
+        self.state = TransactionState::Committed;
+        self.sysroot_locked = false;
+        Ok(())
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### **3. Progress Monitoring**
+```
+Operations Execute → Progress Signals → Client Display → User Feedback
+```
+
+**Implementation**:
+```rust
+// In daemon
+impl AptOstreeDaemon {
+    async fn emit_progress(&self, transaction_id: &str, progress: u32, message: &str) {
+        if let Some(transaction) = self.transactions.read().await.get(transaction_id) {
+            // Emit DBus signal
+            self.connection.emit_signal(
+                None,
+                &transaction.get_object_path(),
+                "org.projectatomic.aptostree1.Transaction",
+                "PercentProgress",
+                &(message, progress),
+            ).ok();

+# Package Management Architecture
+
+## Overview
+
+This document describes the package management architecture for `apt-ostree`, covering how packages are installed, uninstalled, and managed within the OSTree system. The design follows the same principles as `rpm-ostree` but integrates with APT instead of RPM.
+
+## Package Management Commands
+
+### Core Commands
+
+#### `apt-ostree install <packages>`
+Installs packages by creating new OSTree layers containing the package files.
+
+**Implementation Details:**
+- Creates a new OSTree commit with package files
+- Resolves dependencies using APT
+- Downloads packages to temporary storage
+- Extracts package contents to new OSTree layer
+- Updates package database
+- Commits changes atomically
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+apt-ostree install vim git
+```
+
+**Options:**
+- `--reboot` - Reboot after installation
+- `--preview` - Show what would be installed
+- `--check` - Verify package integrity
+- `--cache-only` - Use only cached packages
+
+#### `apt-ostree uninstall <packages>`
+Removes packages by creating a new OSTree commit without the package files.
+
+**Implementation Details:**
+- Creates new OSTree commit excluding package files
+- Updates package database
+- Removes package metadata
+- Commits changes atomically
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+apt-ostree uninstall vim
+```
+
+#### `apt-ostree search <query>`
+Searches for available packages using APT's search capabilities.
+
+**Implementation Details:**
+- Uses APT's search functionality
+- Filters results based on current OSTree deployment
+- Shows package availability and versions
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+apt-ostree search "web server"
+```
+
+## Package Layering Architecture
+
+### OSTree Layer Management
+
+Packages are managed through OSTree layers, where each package installation creates a new commit:
+
+```
+Base OSTree Commit
+├── System packages (base image)
+└── User-installed packages (layers)
+    ├── Layer 1: vim, git
+    ├── Layer 2: nginx
+    └── Layer 3: postgresql
+```
+
+### Layer Creation Process
+
+1. **Dependency Resolution**
+   - Use APT to resolve package dependencies
+   - Download all required packages
+   - Verify package integrity
+
+2. **OSTree Commit Preparation**
+   - Create temporary working directory
+   - Extract package contents
+   - Apply package scripts and configuration
+
+3. **Commit Creation**
+   - Create new OSTree commit with changes
+   - Update package database
+   - Link to parent commit
+
+4. **Deployment Update**
+   - Update current deployment pointer
+   - Prepare for next boot (if --reboot specified)
+
+## APT Integration
+
+### Package Sources
+
+`apt-ostree` integrates with APT's package sources:
+
+- **Debian/Ubuntu repositories** - Standard package sources
+- **PPAs** - Personal Package Archives
+- **Custom repositories** - Third-party package sources
+
+### Package Database
+
+Maintains APT package database within OSTree:
+
+- Package metadata
+- Dependency information
+- Installation status
+- Version history
+
+### Dependency Resolution
+
+Uses APT's dependency resolver:
+
+- Automatic dependency installation
+- Conflict resolution
+- Version compatibility checking
+- Repository priority handling
+
+## Transaction Management
+
+### Atomic Operations
+
+All package operations are atomic:
+
+- **Success**: Complete installation with new OSTree commit
+- **Failure**: Rollback to previous state
+- **Partial failure**: Not possible - all or nothing
+
+### Rollback Support
+
+Failed installations automatically rollback:
+
+- Remove temporary files
+- Restore previous OSTree commit
+- Clean up package database
+- Maintain system consistency
+
+## Package Overrides
+
+### Override System
+
+Packages can be overridden at different levels:
+
+- **System level** - Base image packages
+- **User level** - User-installed packages
+- **Temporary** - Runtime overrides
+
+### Override Commands
+
+```bash
+# Replace system package
+apt-ostree override replace <package>
+
+# Remove override
+apt-ostree override remove <package>
+
+# Reset to default
+apt-ostree override reset <package>
+```
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Package Verification
+
+- GPG signature verification
+- Package integrity checks
+- Repository authenticity validation
+- Secure download protocols
+
+### Privilege Management
+
+- Polkit-based authorization
+- Root privilege requirements
+- User permission checking
+- Audit logging
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+### Caching Strategy
+
+- Package download caching
+- OSTree commit caching
+- Dependency resolution caching
+- Metadata caching
+
+### Parallel Operations
+
+- Concurrent package downloads
+- Parallel dependency resolution
+- Background OSTree operations
+- Asynchronous processing
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Common Error Scenarios
+
+1. **Package Not Found**
+   - Check repository configuration
+   - Verify package names
+   - Update package lists
+
+2. **Dependency Conflicts**
+   - Automatic conflict resolution
+   - Manual conflict resolution
+   - Rollback on unresolvable conflicts
+
+3. **Network Issues**
+   - Retry mechanisms
+   - Offline package installation
+   - Partial download recovery
+
+4. **Disk Space Issues**
+   - Space requirement checking
+   - Automatic cleanup
+   - User notification
+
+## Integration with rpm-ostree

+# 🔍 **rpm-ostree Packaging Architecture Analysis**
+
+## 📋 **Overview**
+
+This document provides a comprehensive analysis of how rpm-ostree handles packaging, including the relationship between `rpm-ostree` (CLI client) and `rpm-ostreed` (system daemon), and how this architecture informs apt-ostree's packaging approach. This analysis is critical for understanding the architectural requirements and making informed decisions about APT integration.
+
+## 🏗️ **rpm-ostree vs rpm-ostreed Architecture**
+
+### **High-Level Architecture**
+

+└─────────────────┘    └─────────────────┘    └─────────────────┘
+```
+
+### **Key Architectural Principles**
+
+1. **Separation of Concerns**: CLI handles user interaction, daemon handles privileged operations
+2. **DBus Communication**: All privileged operations go through DBus to the daemon
+3. **Transaction Management**: Daemon manages all package transactions and OSTree operations
+4. **State Persistence**: Daemon maintains system state across operations
+
+## 🔍 **Detailed Packaging Analysis**
+
+### **1. CLI Client (rpm-ostree)**
+
+#### **Role and Responsibilities**
+```c
+// rpm-ostree CLI handles:
+// - Command-line argument parsing
+// - User interaction and confirmation
+// - Progress display and output formatting
+// - DBus communication with daemon
+// - Error handling and user feedback
+```
+
+#### **Package Management Commands**
+```c
+// Key packaging commands in rpm-ostree CLI:
+rpmostree_builtin_install()      // Install packages
+rpmostree_builtin_uninstall()    // Remove packages
+rpmostree_builtin_search()       // Search packages
+rpmostree_builtin_override()     // Manage package overrides
+```
+
+#### **CLI Implementation Pattern**
+```c
+// Standard CLI pattern for package operations:
+gboolean
+rpmostree_builtin_install(int argc, char **argv, 
+                          RpmOstreeCommandInvocation *invocation,
+                          GCancellable *cancellable, 
+                          GError **error)
+{
+    // 1. Parse command-line options
+    // 2. Validate arguments
+    // 3. Call pkg_change() for actual operation
+    // 4. Handle user interaction (confirmations)
+    // 5. Display results and progress
+    
+    return pkg_change(invocation, sysroot_proxy, FALSE, 
+                     (const char *const *)argv,
+                     (const char *const *)opt_uninstall, 
+                     cancellable, error);
+}
+```
+
+### **2. Daemon (rpmostreed)**
+
+#### **Role and Responsibilities**
+```c
+// rpm-ostreed daemon handles:
+// - All privileged operations (package installation, OSTree commits)
+// - DNF/RPM package management
+// - OSTree repository operations
+// - Transaction management and rollback
+// - System state persistence
+// - Security and policy enforcement
+```
+
+#### **Core Daemon Components**
+```c
+// Key daemon files:
+rpmostreed-daemon.cxx           // Main daemon entry point
+rpmostreed-sysroot.cxx         // OSTree sysroot management
+rpmostreed-os.cxx              // OS deployment operations
+rpmostreed-transaction.cxx     // Transaction management
+rpmostreed-transaction-types.cxx // Package change operations
+```
+
+#### **Package Change Operations**
+```c
+// Daemon handles package changes through transactions:
+class RpmOstreeTransaction {
+    // Package installation
+    gboolean install_packages(GPtrArray *packages);
+    
+    // Package removal
+    gboolean remove_packages(GPtrArray *packages);
+    
+    // Dependency resolution
+    gboolean resolve_dependencies(GPtrArray *packages);
+    
+    // OSTree commit creation
+    gboolean create_package_layer();
+};
+```
+
+### **3. DNF/RPM Integration**
+
+#### **libdnf Usage**
+```c
+// rpm-ostree uses libdnf for package management:
+#include <dnf/dnf-context.h>
+#include <dnf/dnf-goal.h>
+#include <dnf/dnf-package.h>
+#include <dnf/dnf-repo.h>
+#include <dnf/dnf-sack.h>
+
+class RpmOstreeDnfManager {
+private:
+    DnfContext *dnf_context;
+    DnfGoal *dnf_goal;
+    DnfSack *dnf_sack;
+    
+public:
+    // Initialize DNF context for OSTree operations
+    gboolean initialize_dnf_context(
+        RpmOstreeSysroot *sysroot,
+        const char *deployment_path,
+        GCancellable *cancellable,
+        GError **error);
+    
+    // Resolve package dependencies
+    gboolean resolve_package_dependencies(
+        const char *package_name,
+        GPtrArray **resolved_packages,
+        GCancellable *cancellable,
+        GError **error);
+    
+    // Download packages
+    gboolean download_packages(
+        GPtrArray *packages,
+        const char *download_path,
+        GCancellable *cancellable,
+        GError **error);
+};
+```
+
+#### **RPM Package Processing**
+```c
+// rpm-ostree processes RPM packages for OSTree integration:
+class RpmOstreeRpmProcessor {
+public:
+    // Extract RPM package to filesystem
+    gboolean extract_rpm_package(
+        const char *rpm_path,
+        const char *extract_path,
+        GCancellable *cancellable,
+        GError **error);
+    
+    // Process RPM scripts
+    gboolean process_rpm_scripts(
+        const char *rpm_path,
+        const char *deployment_path,
+        const char *script_type,
+        GCancellable *cancellable,
+        GError **error);
+};
+```
+
+### **4. Package Layering System**
+
+#### **Layer Management**
+```c
+// rpm-ostree implements sophisticated package layering:
+class RpmOstreeLayerManager {
+public:
+    // Create package layer
+    gboolean create_package_layer(
+        RpmOstreeSysroot *sysroot,
+        const char *base_commit,
+        const char *new_commit,
+        GPtrArray *packages,
+        GCancellable *cancellable,
+        GError **error);
+    
+    // Remove package layer
+    gboolean remove_package_layer(
+        RpmOstreeSysroot *sysroot,
+        const char *base_commit,
+        const char *new_commit,
+        GPtrArray *packages,
+        GCancellable *cancellable,
+        GError **error);
+};
+```
+
+#### **Layer Creation Process**
+```c
+// Package layer creation workflow:
+// 1. Extract base filesystem from OSTree commit
+// 2. Create temporary directory for layer
+// 3. Apply RPM packages to layer
+// 4. Process package scripts
+// 5. Merge layer with base tree
+// 6. Create new OSTree commit
+// 7. Update ref to point to new commit
+```
+
+### **5. Dependency Resolution**
+
+#### **Advanced Dependency Resolution**
+```c
+// rpm-ostree uses DNF's advanced dependency resolver:
+class RpmOstreeDependencyResolver {
+public:
+    // Resolve complex dependencies
+    gboolean resolve_complex_dependencies(
+        GPtrArray *requested_packages,
+        GPtrArray **resolved_packages,
+        GPtrArray **conflicts,
+        GCancellable *cancellable,
+        GError **error);
+    
+    // Check for dependency conflicts
+    gboolean check_dependency_conflicts(
+        GPtrArray *packages,
+        GPtrArray **conflicts,
+        GCancellable *cancellable,
+        GError **error);
+    
+    // Resolve file conflicts
+    gboolean resolve_file_conflicts(
+        GPtrArray *packages,
+        GPtrArray **conflict_files,
+        GCancellable *cancellable,
+        GError **error);
+};
+```
+
+#### **Dependency Resolution Process**
+```c
+// Dependency resolution workflow:
+// 1. Create DNF goal for complex resolution
+// 2. Add requested packages to goal
+// 3. Resolve dependencies automatically
+// 4. Get resolved packages and conflicts
+// 5. Handle any conflicts or errors
+```
+
+## 🔄 **Transaction Flow**
+
+### **1. Package Installation Flow**
+
+```
+CLI (rpm-ostree install) 
+    ↓
+Parse arguments and validate
+    ↓
+Call pkg_change() 
+    ↓
+DBus communication to daemon
+    ↓
+Daemon creates transaction
+    ↓
+DNF dependency resolution
+    ↓
+Download packages
+    ↓
+Create OSTree layer
+    ↓
+Process package scripts
+    ↓
+Commit new OSTree tree
+    ↓
+Update boot configuration
+    ↓
+Return results to CLI
+    ↓
+Display results to user
+```
+
+### **2. Transaction Management**
+
+```c
+// Daemon manages transactions through:
+class RpmOstreeTransaction {
+    // Transaction lifecycle
+    gboolean begin_transaction();
+    gboolean execute_transaction();
+    gboolean commit_transaction();
+    gboolean rollback_transaction();
+    
+    // Progress reporting
+    void report_progress(guint percentage, const char *message);
+    
+    // Error handling
+    gboolean handle_error(GError *error);
+};
+```
+
+## 🎯 **Key Insights for apt-ostree**
+
+### **1. Architectural Requirements**
+
+#### **CLI-Daemon Separation**
+- **CLI**: Handle user interaction, argument parsing, progress display
+- **Daemon**: Handle privileged operations, package management, OSTree operations
+- **Communication**: DBus for all privileged operations
+
+#### **Package Management Integration**
+- **Dependency Resolution**: Must be robust and handle complex scenarios
+- **Transaction Management**: All package operations must be transactional
+- **State Persistence**: Maintain system state across operations
+- **Rollback Capability**: Handle failed operations gracefully
+
+### **2. APT Integration Requirements**
+
+#### **Critical Features Needed**
+```rust
+// apt-ostree needs APT integration that provides:
+// 1. Full dependency resolution (DepCache equivalent)
+// 2. Transactional operations
+// 3. Package state management
+// 4. Repository metadata access
+// 5. Package download and extraction
+// 6. Script execution handling
+```
+
+#### **Why This Matters**
+- **rpm-ostree uses libdnf**: Full-featured package management library
+- **apt-ostree needs equivalent**: APT library with similar capabilities
+- **Current apt-pkg-native insufficient**: Lacks critical features
+- **rust-apt required**: Provides comprehensive APT integration
+
+### **3. Implementation Strategy**
+
+#### **Phase 1: Core Architecture**
+1. **Implement CLI-Daemon separation** (like rpm-ostree)
+2. **Create DBus interface** for privileged operations
+3. **Implement basic APT integration** using rust-apt
+
+#### **Phase 2: Package Operations**
+1. **Dependency resolution** using rust-apt's DepCache
+2. **Transaction management** for package operations
+3. **OSTree integration** for package layering
+
+#### **Phase 3: Advanced Features**
+1. **Package overrides** and customization
+2. **Conflict resolution** and error handling
+3. **Performance optimization** and caching
+
+## 📊 **Comparison: rpm-ostree vs apt-ostree**
+
+| Feature | rpm-ostree | apt-ostree (Current) | apt-ostree (Required) |
+|---------|-------------|----------------------|------------------------|
+| **Architecture** | CLI + Daemon | CLI only | CLI + Daemon |
+| **Package Management** | libdnf (full-featured) | apt-pkg-native (basic) | rust-apt (full-featured) |
+| **Dependency Resolution** | ✅ Advanced | ❌ Basic | ✅ Advanced |
+| **Transaction Management** | ✅ Full | ❌ None | ✅ Full |
+| **OSTree Integration** | ✅ Complete | ⚠️ Partial | ✅ Complete |
+| **Rollback Support** | ✅ Yes | ❌ No | ✅ Yes |
+
+## 🚀 **Recommendations**
+
+### **1. Immediate Actions**
+- **Stop apt-pkg-native development**: Insufficient for apt-ostree requirements
+- **Begin rust-apt migration**: Required for comprehensive APT integration
+- **Plan daemon architecture**: Follow rpm-ostree's proven pattern
+
+### **2. Architecture Decisions**
+- **CLI-Daemon separation**: Essential for security and functionality
+- **DBus communication**: Required for privileged operations
+- **Transaction management**: Critical for reliability and rollback
+
+### **3. Implementation Priority**
+1. **rust-apt integration** (immediate requirement)
+2. **Daemon architecture** (foundational)
+3. **Package operations** (core functionality)
+4. **Advanced features** (future enhancement)
+
+## 💡 **Critical Conclusion**
+
+**rpm-ostree's packaging architecture reveals that apt-pkg-native is fundamentally insufficient for apt-ostree's requirements.** 
+
+The analysis shows that rpm-ostree relies on:
+- **Full-featured package management** (libdnf)
+- **Advanced dependency resolution** (DNF Goal system)
+- **Transactional operations** (complete transaction lifecycle)
+- **Daemon-based architecture** (privileged operations)
+
+**apt-ostree needs equivalent capabilities**, which means:
+- **rust-apt is required** (provides comprehensive APT integration)
+- **Daemon architecture is essential** (follows rpm-ostree's proven pattern)
+- **Current implementation cannot succeed** (apt-pkg-native lacks critical features)
+
+This analysis confirms that **migration to rust-apt is not optional - it's required** for apt-ostree to achieve its architectural goals and provide the hybrid image/package system functionality that mirrors rpm-ostree's capabilities.

+# 🔍 **rpm-ostree vs rpm-ostreed: Responsibility Analysis**
+
+## 📋 **Overview**
+
+This document analyzes the separation of responsibilities between `rpm-ostree` (the CLI client) and `rpm-ostreed` (the system daemon) based on examination of the rpm-ostree source code. Understanding this separation is crucial for implementing a similar architecture in apt-ostree.
+
+## 🏗️ **Architecture Overview**
+
+### **Component Structure**
+```
+┌─────────────────┐    ┌─────────────────┐    ┌─────────────────┐

+│ • Progress Display│   │ • Error Handling│    │ • Transactions  │
+└─────────────────┘    └─────────────────┘    └─────────────────┘
+```
+
+### **Key Design Principles**
+1. **Separation of Concerns**: CLI handles user interaction, daemon handles system operations
+2. **Privilege Isolation**: Daemon runs with elevated privileges, CLI runs as user
+3. **Transaction Management**: Daemon manages long-running operations, CLI monitors progress
+4. **Fallback Support**: CLI can operate without daemon for read-only operations
+
+## 🔍 **Detailed Responsibility Analysis**
+
+### **1. rpm-ostree (CLI Client) Responsibilities**
+
+#### **Command Line Interface**
+```cpp
+// From libmain.cxx - Command registration and dispatch
+static RpmOstreeCommand commands[] = {
+  { "compose", RPM_OSTREE_BUILTIN_FLAG_LOCAL_CMD | RPM_OSTREE_BUILTIN_FLAG_REQUIRES_ROOT,
+    "Commands to compose a tree", rpmostree_builtin_compose },
+  { "status", (RpmOstreeBuiltinFlags)0, "Get the version of the booted system",
+    rpmostree_builtin_status },
+  { "upgrade", RPM_OSTREE_BUILTIN_FLAG_SUPPORTS_PKG_INSTALLS, "Perform a system upgrade",
+    rpmostree_builtin_upgrade },
+  { "install", RPM_OSTREE_BUILTIN_FLAG_CONTAINER_CAPABLE, "Overlay additional packages",
+    rpmostree_builtin_install },
+  // ... more commands
+};
+```
+
+**Responsibilities**:
+- **Command parsing** and argument validation
+- **Option handling** and help display
+- **Command dispatch** to appropriate builtin functions
+- **User interface** and output formatting
+
+#### **DBus Client Communication**
+```cpp
+// From rpmostree-clientlib.cxx - Client-side DBus handling
+static gboolean
+app_load_sysroot_impl (const char *sysroot, GCancellable *cancellable, 
+                       GDBusConnection **out_conn, GError **error)
+{
+  // Start daemon if not running
+  ROSCXX_TRY (client_start_daemon (), error);
+  
+  // Connect to system bus
+  g_autoptr (GDBusConnection) connection = g_bus_get_sync (G_BUS_TYPE_SYSTEM, 
+                                                          cancellable, error);
+  
+  // Register as client
+  if (uid == 0 || sd_session_is_active (session_id) == 1) {
+    rpmostree_sysroot_call_register_client (sysroot_proxy, options, NULL, NULL);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Responsibilities**:
+- **DBus connection** establishment and management
+- **Client registration** with daemon
+- **Method invocation** on daemon interfaces
+- **Signal handling** for progress updates
+- **Error handling** and retry logic
+
+#### **Progress Monitoring and Display**
+```cpp
+// From rpmostree-builtin-status.cxx - Status display
+static void
+print_deployment (RpmOstreeDeployment *deployment, gboolean verbose, 
+                 gboolean only_booted, guint textarea_width)
+{
+  // Format and display deployment information
+  g_print ("%s %s %s %s\n", 
+           deployment->osname, deployment->checksum, 
+           deployment->version, deployment->timestamp);
+}
+```
+
+**Responsibilities**:
+- **Progress display** during long operations
+- **Status reporting** and user feedback
+- **Output formatting** (text, JSON, etc.)
+- **Error message** presentation
+
+#### **Fallback Operations**
+```cpp
+// From rpmostree-builtin-status.cxx - Fallback when daemon unavailable
+static gboolean
+rpmostree_builtin_status (int argc, char **argv, RpmOstreeCommandInvocation *invocation,
+                         GCancellable *cancellable, GError **error)
+{
+  // Try daemon first, fallback to direct OSTree if needed
+  if (rpmostree_client_connection_new (invocation, cancellable, &connection, error)) {
+    // Use daemon for status
+    return get_status_via_daemon (connection, invocation, cancellable, error);
+  } else {
+    // Fallback to direct OSTree operations
+    return get_status_direct (invocation, cancellable, error);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Responsibilities**:
+- **Fallback logic** when daemon unavailable
+- **Direct OSTree operations** for read-only tasks
+- **Graceful degradation** of functionality
+- **User notification** of limited capabilities
+
+### **2. rpm-ostreed (Daemon) Responsibilities**
+
+#### **System State Management**
+```cpp
+// From rpmostreed-daemon.cxx - Daemon state management
+struct _RpmostreedDaemon {
+  GObject parent_instance;
+  
+  GHashTable *bus_clients;           // Active client tracking
+  gboolean running;                  // Daemon running state
+  gboolean rebooting;                // System reboot state
+  RpmostreedSysroot *sysroot;       // OSTree sysroot management
+  gchar *sysroot_path;              // System root path
+  
+  // Configuration settings
+  guint idle_exit_timeout;          // Auto-exit timeout
+  RpmostreedAutomaticUpdatePolicy auto_update_policy;  // Update policy
+  gboolean lock_layering;           // Package layering lock
+  gboolean disable_recommends;      // Recommends handling
+

+## 🔄 **Communication Flow**
+
+### **1. Command Execution Flow**
+```
+User Command → CLI Parsing → DBus Request → Daemon Processing → Progress Updates → Completion
+```
+
+**Detailed Flow**:
+1. **User enters command** (e.g., `rpm-ostree install package`)
+2. **CLI parses command** and validates arguments
+3. **CLI connects to daemon** via DBus
+4. **CLI registers as client** with daemon
+5. **CLI invokes daemon method** (e.g., `PkgChange`)
+6. **Daemon creates transaction** and returns transaction path
+7. **CLI monitors transaction** via DBus signals
+8. **Daemon executes operations** and emits progress
+9. **CLI displays progress** to user
+10. **Daemon completes transaction** and emits completion signal
+11. **CLI displays results** and exits
+
+### **2. Signal Handling Flow**
+```
+Daemon Event → DBus Signal → Client Handler → User Display
+```
+
+**Signal Types**:
+- **`Message`**: Text messages and status updates
+- **`TaskBegin`/`TaskEnd`**: Task start/completion notifications
+- **`PercentProgress`**: Progress percentage updates
+- **`DownloadProgress`**: Download progress details
+- **`Finished`**: Transaction completion notification
+
+## 📊 **Responsibility Matrix**
+
+| Responsibility | CLI (rpm-ostree) | Daemon (rpm-ostreed) | Notes |
+|----------------|-------------------|----------------------|-------|
+| **Command Parsing** | ✅ Primary | ❌ None | CLI handles all user input |
+| **Argument Validation** | ✅ Primary | ❌ None | CLI validates before sending |
+| **DBus Communication** | ✅ Client | ✅ Server | Both sides of communication |
+| **OSTree Operations** | ❌ None | ✅ Primary | Daemon has exclusive access |
+| **Package Management** | ❌ None | ✅ Primary | Daemon handles RPM/OSTree |
+| **Transaction Management** | ❌ None | ✅ Primary | Daemon manages lifecycle |
+| **Progress Reporting** | ✅ Display | ✅ Generation | Daemon generates, CLI displays |
+| **Error Handling** | ✅ User-facing | ✅ System-level | Different error contexts |
+| **Security** | ❌ None | ✅ Primary | Daemon handles authorization |
+| **Configuration** | ✅ Reading | ✅ Reading/Writing | Daemon can modify system |
+| **Fallback Operations** | ✅ Primary | ❌ None | CLI handles when daemon unavailable |

+# System Management Architecture
+
+## Overview
+
+This document describes the system management architecture for `apt-ostree`, covering how the system handles initramfs management, kernel arguments, daemon operations, and other system-level functionality. The design maintains compatibility with `rpm-ostree` while integrating with Debian/Ubuntu system components.
+
+## System Management Commands
+
+### Initramfs Management
+
+#### `apt-ostree initramfs`
+Manages the initial RAM filesystem for the current deployment.
+
+**Implementation Details:**
+- Regenerates initramfs for current kernel
+- Includes OSTree-specific modules
+- Updates bootloader configuration
+- Maintains kernel module dependencies
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+apt-ostree initramfs
+```
+
+**Options:**
+- `--force` - Force regeneration even if unchanged
+- `--verbose` - Show detailed output
+- `--debug` - Enable debug mode
+
+#### `apt-ostree initramfs-etc`
+Manages `/etc` files in the initramfs.
+
+**Implementation Details:**
+- Copies relevant `/etc` files to initramfs
+- Maintains configuration consistency
+- Updates initramfs when `/etc` changes
+- Handles configuration file conflicts
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+apt-ostree initramfs-etc
+```
+
+### Kernel Arguments Management
+
+#### `apt-ostree kargs`
+Manages kernel command line arguments.
+
+**Implementation Details:**
+- Reads current kernel arguments
+- Modifies kernel arguments for deployments
+- Updates bootloader configuration
+- Maintains argument persistence across reboots
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+# View current kernel arguments
+apt-ostree kargs
+
+# Add kernel argument
+apt-ostree kargs --append="console=ttyS0"
+
+# Remove kernel argument
+apt-ostree kargs --delete="console=ttyS0"
+
+# Replace kernel argument
+apt-ostree kargs --replace="console=ttyS0,115200"
+```
+
+**Options:**
+- `--append` - Add new kernel argument
+- `--delete` - Remove kernel argument
+- `--replace` - Replace kernel argument
+- `--deploy-index` - Target specific deployment
+- `--print-only` - Show what would be changed
+
+### Daemon Management
+
+#### `apt-ostree reload`
+Reloads the daemon configuration and state.
+
+**Implementation Details:**
+- Reloads configuration files
+- Refreshes package lists
+- Updates transaction state
+- Restarts background services
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+apt-ostree reload
+```
+
+#### `apt-ostree cancel`
+Cancels pending transactions.
+
+**Implementation Details:**
+- Identifies active transactions
+- Cancels pending operations
+- Cleans up temporary files
+- Restores system state
+
+**Example:**
+```bash
+apt-ostree cancel
+```
+
+**Options:**
+- `--transaction-id` - Cancel specific transaction
+- `--all` - Cancel all pending transactions
+
+## System Architecture
+
+### Initramfs Integration
+
+The initramfs system integrates with OSTree deployments:
+
+```
+Boot Process:
+1. Bootloader loads kernel + initramfs
+2. Initramfs mounts OSTree root
+3. System switches to OSTree deployment
+4. Normal system initialization
+```
+
+**Components:**
+- **Kernel modules** - Required for boot
+- **OSTree tools** - Deployment management
+- **Configuration files** - System settings
+- **Helper scripts** - Boot automation
+
+### Kernel Arguments Persistence
+
+Kernel arguments are stored and managed per deployment:
+
+```
+Deployment Structure:
+├── OSTree commit
+├── Kernel arguments
+├── Bootloader config
+└── Initramfs reference
+```
+
+**Storage:**
+- **OSTree metadata** - Argument storage
+- **Bootloader integration** - GRUB/GRUB2 support
+- **Deployment linking** - Argument association
+
+### Daemon State Management
+
+The daemon maintains system state:
+
+```
+Daemon State:
+├── Active transactions
+├── Package cache
+├── OSTree status
+├── Configuration
+└── System health
+```
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### Bootloader Integration
+
+Supports multiple bootloaders:
+
+- **GRUB2** - Primary bootloader
+- **systemd-boot** - UEFI bootloader
+- **Extlinux** - Legacy bootloader
+
+**Configuration:**
+- Automatic bootloader detection
+- Configuration file generation
+- Boot entry management
+- Default boot selection
+
+### Systemd Integration
+
+Integrates with systemd services:
+
+- **Service management** - Start/stop/restart
+- **Dependency handling** - Service ordering
+- **Logging integration** - Journald support
+- **Socket activation** - DBus communication
+
+### OSTree Integration
+
+Deep integration with OSTree:
+
+- **Deployment management** - Current/previous deployments
+- **Commit tracking** - Change history
+- **Rollback support** - System restoration
+- **Layering** - Package management
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Privilege Management
+
+System management commands require elevated privileges:
+
+- **Root access** - System-level changes
+- **Polkit authorization** - Policy-based access control
+- **Capability checking** - Linux capabilities
+- **Audit logging** - Security event tracking
+
+### Configuration Security
+
+Protects system configuration:
+
+- **File permissions** - Secure file access
+- **Configuration validation** - Input sanitization
+- **Change verification** - Integrity checking
+- **Rollback protection** - Unauthorized change prevention
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+### Caching Strategy
+
+Implements intelligent caching:
+
+- **Configuration cache** - Parsed configuration
+- **State cache** - System state information
+- **Metadata cache** - OSTree metadata
+- **Bootloader cache** - Boot configuration
+
+### Background Operations
+
+Non-blocking system operations:
+
+- **Async processing** - Non-blocking operations
+- **Background updates** - Concurrent processing
+- **Progress reporting** - User feedback
+- **Error handling** - Graceful failure
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Common Error Scenarios
+
+1. **Initramfs Generation Failures**
+   - Kernel module issues
+   - Configuration conflicts
+   - Disk space problems
+   - Permission errors

+   - Resource exhaustion
+   - Communication failures
+
+### Recovery Mechanisms
+
+Automatic and manual recovery:
+
+- **Automatic rollback** - Failed operation recovery
+- **State restoration** - Previous state recovery
+- **Error reporting** - Detailed error information
+- **Recovery guidance** - User assistance
+
+## Monitoring and Logging
+
+### System Health Monitoring
+
+Continuous system monitoring:
+
+- **Service status** - Daemon health
+- **Transaction state** - Operation progress
+- **Resource usage** - System resources

+metadata.insert("packages".to_string(), "vim,git".to_string());
+metadata.insert("source".to_string(), "cli".to_string());
+metadata.insert("environment".to_string(), "production".to_string());
+```
+
+## Transaction Persistence
+
+### Storage Backend
+
+Transactions are persisted using:
+
+- **File-based storage**: JSON files in `/var/lib/apt-ostree/transactions/`
+- **Database storage**: SQLite database for complex queries
+- **Memory cache**: In-memory cache for active transactions
+
+### Data Structure
+
+```json
+{
+  "transaction_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
+  "transaction_type": "pkg_change",
+  "state": "executing",
+  "created_at": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z",
+  "updated_at": "2024-01-15T10:35:00Z",
+  "description": "Install vim and git",
+  "metadata": {
+    "packages": "vim,git",
+    "user_id": "1000",
+    "priority": "normal"
+  },
+  "steps": [
+    {
+      "step_id": "1",
+      "description": "Download packages",
+      "status": "completed",
+      "started_at": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z",
+      "completed_at": "2024-01-15T10:32:00Z"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Transaction Steps
+
+### Step Structure
+
+Each transaction consists of multiple steps:
+
+```rust
+#[derive(Debug, Clone, Serialize, Deserialize)]
+pub struct TransactionStep {
+    pub step_id: String,
+    pub description: String,
+    pub status: StepStatus,
+    pub started_at: Option<DateTime<Utc>>,
+    pub completed_at: Option<DateTime<Utc>>,
+    pub error_message: Option<String>,
+    pub metadata: HashMap<String, String>,
+}
+```
+
+### Step States
+
+- **PENDING**: Step has not yet started
+- **RUNNING**: Step is currently executing
+- **COMPLETED**: Step has completed successfully
+- **FAILED**: Step has failed
+- **SKIPPED**: Step was skipped (e.g., already completed)
+
+### Step Execution
+
+Steps are executed sequentially by default:
+
+1. **Validation**: Verify step prerequisites
+2. **Execution**: Run step logic
+3. **Verification**: Confirm step completion
+4. **Progress Update**: Update transaction progress
+
+## Rollback Mechanism
+
+### Automatic Rollback
+
+Failed transactions automatically trigger rollback:
+
+1. **Failure Detection**: Identify failed step
+2. **State Assessment**: Determine rollback scope
+3. **Rollback Execution**: Execute rollback steps
+4. **State Restoration**: Restore previous system state
+
+### Manual Rollback
+
+Users can manually trigger rollback:
+
+```bash
+# Rollback specific transaction
+apt-ostree transaction rollback <transaction-id>
+
+# Rollback last failed transaction
+apt-ostree transaction rollback --last-failed
+```
+
+### Rollback Steps
+
+Rollback operations execute in reverse order:
+
+1. **Undo Changes**: Reverse completed steps
+2. **State Restoration**: Restore previous state
+3. **Cleanup**: Remove temporary files
+4. **Verification**: Confirm rollback success
+
+## Progress Tracking
+
+### Progress Reporting
+
+Transactions report progress through:
+
+- **DBus signals**: Real-time progress updates
+- **Log files**: Detailed execution logs
+- **Status files**: Human-readable status files
+- **CLI output**: Command-line progress display
+
+### Progress Metrics
+
+Tracked metrics include:
+
+- **Completion percentage**: Overall progress
+- **Step progress**: Individual step progress
+- **Time estimates**: Remaining time estimates
+- **Resource usage**: CPU, memory, disk usage
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Error Classification
+
+Errors are classified by severity:
+
+- **WARNING**: Non-critical issues
+- **ERROR**: Critical issues requiring attention
+- **FATAL**: Unrecoverable errors
+
+### Error Recovery
+
+Error recovery strategies:
+
+1. **Retry**: Automatic retry with backoff
+2. **Skip**: Skip problematic steps
+3. **Rollback**: Automatic rollback on failure
+4. **Manual Intervention**: Require user action
+
+### Error Reporting
+
+Errors are reported through:
+
+- **Log files**: Detailed error logs
+- **DBus signals**: Error notifications
+- **Exit codes**: Process exit codes
+- **User messages**: Human-readable error messages
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Access Control
+
+Transaction operations require appropriate permissions:
+
+- **Create**: User can create transactions
+- **Execute**: User can execute transactions
+- **Cancel**: User can cancel their own transactions
+- **Rollback**: Admin privileges required
+
+### Audit Logging
+
+All transaction operations are audited:
+
+- **Operation logging**: Log all operations
+- **User tracking**: Track user actions
+- **Change logging**: Log all state changes
+- **Security events**: Log security-related events
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+### Caching Strategy
+
+Implement intelligent caching:
+
+- **Transaction cache**: Cache active transactions
+- **Metadata cache**: Cache transaction metadata
+- **Result cache**: Cache operation results
+- **Progress cache**: Cache progress information
+
+### Parallel Processing
+
+Enable parallel operations where possible:
+
+- **Independent steps**: Execute independent steps in parallel
+- **Resource operations**: Parallel resource operations
+- **Validation**: Parallel validation checks
+- **Cleanup**: Parallel cleanup operations
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### DBus Integration
+
+Transactions integrate with DBus:
+
+- **Progress signals**: Real-time progress updates
+- **State changes**: State change notifications
+- **Error signals**: Error notifications
+- **Completion signals**: Completion notifications
+
+### CLI Integration
+
+CLI commands integrate with transactions:
+
+- **Transaction creation**: Create transactions for operations
+- **Progress display**: Show transaction progress

+### System Integration
+
+System-level integration:
+
+- **Service management**: Manage system services
+- **File operations**: Handle file operations

+# 🏗️ **apt-ostree Tree Composition Architecture**
+
+## 📋 **Overview**
+
+This document outlines the tree composition architecture for apt-ostree, based on analysis of how rpm-ostree implements tree building from packages. Tree composition is the process of creating custom OSTree trees by installing packages and committing the result to an OSTree repository.
+
+## 🏗️ **Architecture Overview**
+
+### **Component Separation**
+
+```

+```
+
+### **Responsibility Distribution**
+
+#### **CLI Client (`apt-ostree`)**
+- **Command parsing** for compose subcommands
+- **User interface** and progress display
+- **DBus communication** with daemon
+- **File handling** for treefiles and inputs
+
+#### **Daemon (`apt-ostreed`)**
+- **Tree building** from packages
+- **Package installation** and dependency resolution
+- **OSTree commit** creation
+- **Build environment** management
+
+## 🔍 **rpm-ostree Implementation Analysis**
+
+### **CLI Commands Structure**
+
+Based on `rpmostree-builtin-compose.cxx`, rpm-ostree provides these compose subcommands:
+
+```c
+static RpmOstreeCommand compose_subcommands[] = {
+  { "tree", RPM_OSTREE_BUILTIN_FLAG_LOCAL_CMD,
+    "Process a \"treefile\"; install packages and commit the result to an OSTree repository",
+    rpmostree_compose_builtin_tree },
+  { "install",
+    (RpmOstreeBuiltinFlags)(RPM_OSTREE_BUILTIN_FLAG_LOCAL_CMD
+                            | RPM_OSTREE_BUILTIN_FLAG_REQUIRES_ROOT),
+    "Install packages into a target path", rpmostree_compose_builtin_install },
+  { "postprocess",
+    (RpmOstreeBuiltinFlags)(RPM_OSTREE_BUILTIN_FLAG_LOCAL_CMD
+                            | RPM_OSTREE_BUILTIN_FLAG_REQUIRES_ROOT),
+    "Perform final postprocessing on an installation root", rpmostree_compose_builtin_postprocess },
+  { "commit",
+    (RpmOstreeBuiltinFlags)(RPM_OSTREE_BUILTIN_FLAG_LOCAL_CMD
+                            | RPM_OSTREE_BUILTIN_FLAG_REQUIRES_ROOT),
+    "Commit a target path to an OSTree repository", rpmostree_compose_builtin_commit },
+  { "extensions", RPM_OSTREE_BUILTIN_FLAG_LOCAL_CMD,
+    "Download RPM packages guaranteed to depsolve with a base OSTree",
+    rpmostree_compose_builtin_extensions },
+  { "container-encapsulate", RPM_OSTREE_BUILTIN_FLAG_LOCAL_CMD,
+    "Generate a reproducible \"chunked\" container image (using RPM data) from an OSTree commit",
+    rpmostree_compose_builtin_container_encapsulate },
+  { "image", RPM_OSTREE_BUILTIN_FLAG_LOCAL_CMD,
+    "Generate a reproducible \"chunked\" container image (using RPM data) from a treefile",
+    rpmostree_compose_builtin_image },
+  { "rootfs", RPM_OSTREE_BUILTIN_FLAG_LOCAL_CMD, "Generate a root filesystem tree from a treefile",
+    rpmostree_compose_builtin_rootfs },
+  { "build-chunked-oci", RPM_OSTREE_BUILTIN_FLAG_LOCAL_CMD,
+    "Generate a \"chunked\" OCI archive from an input rootfs",
+    rpmostree_compose_builtin_build_chunked_oci },
+  { NULL, (RpmOstreeBuiltinFlags)0, NULL, NULL }
+};
+```
+
+### **Key Insights from rpm-ostree**
+
+1. **Local Commands**: Most compose commands are `LOCAL_CMD` (don't require daemon)
+2. **Root Requirements**: Package installation requires root privileges
+3. **Rust Integration**: Many commands delegate to Rust implementation
+4. **Treefile Processing**: Uses declarative treefile format for composition
+
+## 🚀 **apt-ostree Implementation Strategy**
+
+### **1. CLI Command Structure**
+
+```rust
+// src/main.rs - Compose command handling
+async fn compose_commands(args: &[String]) -> AptOstreeResult<()> {

+        return Ok(());
+    }
+    
+    let subcommand = &args[0];
+    match subcommand.as_str() {
+        "tree" => compose_tree(&args[1..]).await?,
+        "install" => compose_install(&args[1..]).await?,

+        "image" => compose_image(&args[1..]).await?,
+        "rootfs" => compose_rootfs(&args[1..]).await?,
+        "build-chunked-oci" => compose_build_chunked_oci(&args[1..]).await?,
+        _ => {
+            println!("❌ Unknown compose subcommand: {}", subcommand);

+            }
+        }
+        
+        Ok(())
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## 🧪 **Testing Strategy**
+
+### **1. Unit Tests**
+
+```rust
+#[cfg(test)]
+mod tests {
+    use super::*;
+    
+    #[tokio::test]
+    async fn test_treefile_parsing() {
+        let treefile_content = r#"
+apiVersion: "apt-ostree/v1"
+kind: "Treefile"

+  name: "test-tree"
+packages:
+  - "vim"

+        let composer = TreeComposer::new().await.unwrap();
+        let result = composer.install_base_packages(&["test-package"]).await;
+        assert!(result.is_ok());
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### **2. Integration Tests**
+
+```rust
+#[tokio::test]
+async fn test_full_tree_composition() {
+    // Create test treefile
+    let treefile = create_test_treefile().await?;

+    
+    // Verify packages are installed
+    let installed_packages = composer.list_installed_packages().await?;
+    assert!(installed_packages.contains(&"vim".to_string()));
+}
+```

+
+### Design Principles
+
+1. **Privilege Separation**: Daemon runs with elevated privileges, clients run unprivileged
+2. **D-Bus Communication**: Standard system service interface for inter-process communication
+3. **Transaction Management**: Atomic operations with rollback capability
+4. **Concurrent Operations**: Multiple clients can interact simultaneously
+5. **State Persistence**: Daemon maintains system state across operations
+
+## Client Architecture
+
+### CLI Client (`rpmostree`)
+
+**Purpose**: Command-line interface for user interaction
+
+**Key Components**:
+- **Command Parser**: Parse command-line arguments
+- **D-Bus Client**: Communicate with daemon
+- **Progress Handler**: Display operation progress
+- **Error Handler**: Handle and display errors
+
+**Implementation**:
+```cpp
+class RpmOstreeClient {
+    // D-Bus client
+    std::unique_ptr<RpmOstreeClientLib> client_lib;
+    
+    // Command dispatch
+    int dispatch_command(int argc, char* argv[]);
+    
+    // D-Bus communication
+    bool connect_to_daemon();
+    void handle_daemon_error(const std::string& error);
+    
+    // Progress handling
+    void handle_progress(const std::string& message, int percentage);
+    void handle_completion(const std::string& result);
+};
+```
+
+**Command Flow**:
+1. Parse command-line arguments
+2. Connect to daemon via D-Bus
+3. Send operation request
+4. Handle progress updates
+5. Display results or errors
+
+### GUI Clients
+
+**Purpose**: Graphical user interfaces for system management
+
+**Components**:
+- **GNOME Software**: Integration with GNOME Software Center
+- **KDE Discover**: Integration with KDE Discover
+- **Custom GUIs**: Third-party graphical interfaces
+
+**Implementation**:
+- Use D-Bus interface for system operations
+- Provide user-friendly progress indicators
+- Handle authentication via PolicyKit
+- Display system status and deployment information
+
+### API Clients
+
+**Purpose**: Programmatic interfaces for automation and integration
+
+**Components**:
+- **Python Bindings**: Python library for rpm-ostree operations
+- **Go Bindings**: Go library for rpm-ostree operations
+- **REST APIs**: HTTP-based interfaces (planned)
+
+**Implementation**:
+- Direct D-Bus communication
+- High-level abstractions for common operations
+- Error handling and recovery mechanisms
+- Async operation support
+
+## Daemon Architecture
+
+### Core Daemon (`rpm-ostreed`)
+
+**Purpose**: Centralized system service for privileged operations
+
+**Key Components**:
+- **D-Bus Service**: Expose system management interface
+- **Transaction Manager**: Handle atomic operations
+- **State Manager**: Maintain system state
+- **Resource Manager**: Manage system resources
+
+**Implementation**:
+```cpp
+class RpmOstreeDaemon {
+    // Global state management
+    std::unique_ptr<RpmOstreeSysroot> sysroot;
+    std::unique_ptr<RpmOstreeOS> os;
+    
+    // Transaction management
+    std::map<std::string, std::unique_ptr<RpmOstreeTransaction>> transactions;
+    
+    // D-Bus interface
+    std::unique_ptr<GDBusObjectManagerServer> object_manager;
+    
+    // Service management
+    void start_service();
+    void stop_service();
+    void handle_client_connection(GDBusConnection* connection);
+};
+```
+
+**Service Lifecycle**:
+1. Initialize system components
+2. Register D-Bus service
+3. Start listening for client connections
+4. Handle client requests
+5. Clean up on shutdown
+
+### D-Bus Interface

+
+### Transaction Management
+
+**Purpose**: Handle atomic operations with rollback capability
+
+**Transaction Types**:
+1. **DeployTransaction**: New deployment creation
+2. **RollbackTransaction**: Deployment rollback
+3. **PkgChangeTransaction**: Package installation/removal
+4. **RebaseTransaction**: Base image switching
+5. **UpgradeTransaction**: System upgrades
+
+**Implementation**:
+```cpp
+class RpmOstreeTransaction {
+    // Transaction state
+    TransactionState state;
+    std::string transaction_id;
+    TransactionType type;
+    
+    // Rollback information
+    std::vector<RollbackPoint> rollback_points;
+    
+    // Progress reporting
+    void emit_progress(const std::string& message, int percentage);
+    void emit_completion(bool success, const std::string& result);
+    
+    // Atomic execution
+    bool execute_atomic();
+    void rollback_on_failure();
+    
+    // State management
+    void set_state(TransactionState new_state);
+    TransactionState get_state() const;
+};
+```
+
+**Transaction Lifecycle**:
+1. **Initiation**: Client requests operation
+2. **Validation**: Validate request parameters
+3. **Preparation**: Set up rollback points
+4. **Execution**: Perform operation with progress reporting
+5. **Completion**: Finalize operation or rollback
+6. **Cleanup**: Clean up resources
+
+### State Management
+
+**Purpose**: Maintain system state across operations
+
+**State Components**:
+- **Deployment State**: Current and available deployments
+- **Package State**: Installed and layered packages
+- **Configuration State**: System configuration
+- **Transaction State**: Active and completed transactions
+
+**Implementation**:
+```cpp
+class StateManager {
+    // System state
+    std::unique_ptr<DeploymentState> deployment_state;
+    std::unique_ptr<PackageState> package_state;
+    std::unique_ptr<ConfigurationState> config_state;
+    
+    // State persistence
+    void save_state();
+    void load_state();
+    void sync_state();
+    
+    // State queries
+    DeploymentInfo get_current_deployment();
+    std::vector<DeploymentInfo> get_available_deployments();
+    std::vector<PackageInfo> get_installed_packages();
+};
+```
+
+## Communication Protocol
+
+### D-Bus Communication
+
+**Connection Setup**:
+```cpp
+// Client connection
+GDBusConnection* connection = g_bus_get_sync(G_BUS_TYPE_SYSTEM, nullptr, nullptr);
+
+// Service registration
+GDBusObjectManagerServer* object_manager = g_dbus_object_manager_server_new("/org/projectatomic/rpmostree1");
+```
+
+**Method Calls**:
+```cpp
+// Client method call
+GVariant* result = g_dbus_connection_call_sync(
+    connection,
+    "org.projectatomic.rpmostree1",
+    "/org/projectatomic/rpmostree1/OS",
+    "org.projectatomic.rpmostree1.OS",
+    "Upgrade",
+    g_variant_new("(a{sv})", options),
+    nullptr,
+    G_DBUS_CALL_FLAGS_NONE,
+    -1,
+    nullptr,
+    nullptr
+);
+```
+
+**Signal Handling**:
+```cpp
+// Client signal connection
+g_dbus_connection_signal_subscribe(
+    connection,
+    "org.projectatomic.rpmostree1",
+    "org.projectatomic.rpmostree1.OS",
+    "TransactionChanged",
+    "/org/projectatomic/rpmostree1/OS",
+    nullptr,
+    G_DBUS_SIGNAL_FLAGS_NONE,
+    handle_transaction_changed,
+    nullptr,
+    nullptr
+);
+```
+
+### Error Handling
+
+**Error Types**:
+1. **Network Errors**: Package download failures
+2. **Dependency Errors**: Package dependency conflicts
+3. **Filesystem Errors**: OSTree operation failures
+4. **Permission Errors**: Insufficient privileges
+5. **Transaction Errors**: Transaction failures
+
+**Error Propagation**:
+```cpp
+// Daemon error handling
+void handle_error(const std::string& error, GDBusMethodInvocation* invocation) {
+    GError* g_error = g_error_new_literal(
+        G_DBUS_ERROR,
+        G_DBUS_ERROR_FAILED,
+        error.c_str()
+    );
+    g_dbus_method_invocation_return_gerror(invocation, g_error);
+    g_error_free(g_error);
+}
+
+// Client error handling
+void handle_daemon_error(GError* error) {
+    std::string error_message = error->message;
+    std::cerr << "Error: " << error_message << std::endl;
+    
+    // Provide user guidance based on error type
+    if (g_error_matches(error, G_DBUS_ERROR, G_DBUS_ERROR_SERVICE_UNKNOWN)) {
+        std::cerr << "Daemon is not running. Please start the rpm-ostreed service." << std::endl;
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## Security Model
+
+### Privilege Separation
+
+**Principle**: Separate privileged operations from unprivileged user operations
+
+**Implementation**:
+- **Daemon**: Runs with elevated privileges (root)
+- **Client**: Runs with user privileges
+- **D-Bus**: Secure communication channel
+- **PolicyKit**: Authentication for privileged operations
+
+### Authentication
+
+**PolicyKit Integration**:
+```xml
+<policyconfig>
+    <action id="org.projectatomic.rpmostree1.upgrade">
+        <description>Upgrade system</description>
+        <message>Authentication is required to upgrade the system</message>
+        <defaults>
+            <allow_any>auth_admin</allow_any>
+            <allow_inactive>auth_admin</allow_inactive>
+            <allow_active>auth_admin</allow_active>
+        </defaults>
+        <annotate key="org.freedesktop.policykit.exec.path">/usr/libexec/rpm-ostreed</annotate>
+    </action>
+</policyconfig>
+```
+
+### Sandboxing
+
+**Package Script Execution**:
+- Execute package scripts in controlled environment
+- Use namespace isolation for security
+- Restrict filesystem access
+- Limit privilege escalation
+
+## Concurrent Operations
+
+### Multiple Clients
+
+**Support**: Multiple clients can interact with daemon simultaneously
+
+**Implementation**:
+- **Thread-Safe Operations**: All operations are thread-safe
+- **Transaction Isolation**: Each operation gets its own transaction
+- **Resource Locking**: Prevent conflicting operations
+- **Queue Management**: Queue operations when necessary
+
+### Operation Queuing
+
+**Queue Management**:
+```cpp
+class OperationQueue {
+    std::queue<Operation> pending_operations;
+    std::mutex queue_mutex;
+    std::condition_variable queue_cv;
+    
+    void enqueue_operation(const Operation& operation);
+    Operation dequeue_operation();
+    bool has_pending_operations();
+};
+```
+
+## Performance Optimization
+
+### Resource Management
+
+**Memory Management**:
+- Efficient memory usage for large operations
+- Garbage collection for completed transactions
+- Memory pooling for frequently allocated objects
+
+**Disk Management**:
+- OSTree deduplication for storage efficiency
+- Temporary file cleanup
+- Cache management for package downloads
+
+**Network Optimization**:
+- Parallel package downloads
+- Connection pooling
+- Bandwidth optimization
+
+### Caching
+
+**Package Cache**:
+- Cache downloaded packages
+- Cache package metadata
+- Cache dependency resolution results
+
+**State Cache**:
+- Cache deployment information
+- Cache package lists
+- Cache configuration data
+
+## Monitoring and Logging
+
+### Logging
+
+**Log Levels**:
+- **DEBUG**: Detailed debugging information
+- **INFO**: General information
+- **WARNING**: Warning messages
+- **ERROR**: Error messages
+- **CRITICAL**: Critical errors
+
+**Log Implementation**:
+```cpp
+class Logger {
+    void debug(const std::string& message);
+    void info(const std::string& message);
+    void warning(const std::string& message);
+    void error(const std::string& message);
+    void critical(const std::string& message);
+};
+```
+
+### Monitoring
+
+**Health Monitoring**:
+- Daemon health checks
+- Transaction monitoring
+- Resource usage monitoring
+- Error rate monitoring
+
+**Metrics Collection**:
+- Operation success rates
+- Performance metrics
+- Resource usage statistics
+- Error statistics
+

+## 🔐 **Security Model Analysis**
+
+### **Polkit Integration**
+
+#### **Policy Actions**
+```xml
+<action id="org.projectatomic.rpmostree1.install-uninstall-packages">
+  <description>Install and remove packages</description>
+  <message>Authentication is required to install and remove software</message>
+  <defaults>

+  </defaults>
+</action>
+```
+
+#### **Security Levels**
+- **`auth_admin`**: Full authentication required
+- **`auth_admin_keep`**: Keep authentication for active sessions
+- **`auth_inactive`**: Authentication required for inactive sessions
+
+### **Privilege Escalation**
+- **Read-only operations**: No privileges required (status, search, info)
+- **Package operations**: `auth_admin` required (install, remove, override)
+- **System operations**: `auth_admin` required (upgrade, rollback, deploy)
+- **Boot configuration**: `auth_admin` required (kargs, initramfs)

+- **DBus**: Using `zbus` crate for DBus implementation
+
+### **Dependencies**
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+zbus = "3.0"              # DBus implementation
+tokio = { version = "1.0", features = ["full"] }  # Async runtime
+ostree = "0.20"           # OSTree bindings
+serde = { version = "1.0", features = ["derive"] }  # Serialization

+4. **Security Tests**: Polkit policy validation
+
+## 📚 **Reference Implementation**
+
+### **Key Files to Study**
+- `org.projectatomic.rpmostree1.xml` - Complete DBus interface definition
+- `rpmostreed-daemon.cxx` - Main daemon implementation
+- `rpmostreed-sysroot.cxx` - Sysroot interface implementation
+- `rpmostreed-transaction.cxx` - Transaction management
+- `rpmostreed-transaction-types.cxx` - Transaction type implementations
+- `org.projectatomic.rpmostree1.policy` - Polkit security policies
+
+### **Architecture Patterns**
+1. **Object-Oriented Design**: Clear separation of concerns
+2. **Signal-Based Communication**: Asynchronous progress reporting
+3. **Transaction-Based Operations**: Atomic operation handling
+4. **Client Registration**: Lifecycle management
+5. **Security Integration**: Polkit-based authorization
+
+This analysis provides the foundation for implementing a production-ready DBus daemon for apt-ostree that maintains compatibility with the existing rpm-ostree ecosystem while adapting to the Debian/Ubuntu package management paradigm.

+
+# Check system information
+apt-ostree status --json
+```
+
+## 📈 **Performance Optimization**
+
+### **System Tuning**
+
+#### **Kernel Parameters**
+```bash
+# /etc/sysctl.conf
+# Increase file descriptor limits
+fs.file-max = 1000000
+
+# Optimize memory management
+vm.swappiness = 10
+vm.dirty_ratio = 15
+vm.dirty_background_ratio = 5
+
+# Network tuning
+net.core.somaxconn = 65535
+net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 5000
+
+# Apply changes
+sudo sysctl -p
+```
+
+#### **Resource Limits**
+```bash
+# /etc/security/limits.conf
+aptostree soft nofile 65536
+aptostree hard nofile 65536
+aptostree soft nproc 32768
+aptostree hard nproc 32768
+```
+
+### **Application Optimization**
+
+#### **Connection Pooling**
+```rust
+// Connection pool configuration
+use deadpool::managed::{Manager, Pool, PoolError};
+
+pub struct ConnectionPool {
+    pool: Pool<ConnectionManager>,
+}
+
+impl ConnectionPool {
+    pub async fn new(max_connections: usize) -> Result<Self, PoolError> {
+        let manager = ConnectionManager::new();
+        let pool = Pool::builder(manager)
+            .max_size(max_connections)
+            .build()?;
+        
+        Ok(Self { pool })
+    }
+    
+    pub async fn get_connection(&self) -> Result<PooledConnection, PoolError> {
+        self.pool.get().await
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### **Caching Strategy**
+```rust
+// Cache configuration
+use moka::future::Cache;
+
+pub struct CacheManager {
+    package_cache: Cache<String, PackageInfo>,
+    deployment_cache: Cache<String, DeploymentInfo>,
+}
+
+impl CacheManager {
+    pub fn new() -> Self {
+        let package_cache = Cache::builder()
+            .max_capacity(10000)
+            .time_to_live(Duration::from_secs(3600))
+            .build();
+            
+        let deployment_cache = Cache::builder()
+            .max_capacity(1000)
+            .time_to_live(Duration::from_secs(1800))
+            .build();
+        
+        Self {
+            package_cache,
+            deployment_cache,
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+

+## 🔧 **Development Workflow**
+
+### **Understanding the Codebase**
+
+1. **Start with the CLI**: Review `src/main.rs` to understand command structure
+2. **Explore Commands**: Check `src/commands/` for specific command implementations
+3. **Daemon Architecture**: Review `src/daemon/` for server-side logic
+4. **Library Code**: Examine `src/lib/` for shared functionality
+
+### **Key Development Patterns**
+
+#### **Command Implementation**
+```rust
+// src/commands/example.rs
+use crate::BaseCommand;
+
+pub struct ExampleCommand;
+
+impl BaseCommand for ExampleCommand {
+    fn name(&self) -> &'static str { "example" }
+    
+    fn description(&self) -> &'static str {
+        "Example command implementation"
+    }
+    
+    async fn execute(&self, args: &[String]) -> AptOstreeResult<()> {
+        // Command implementation
+        Ok(())
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### **Daemon Integration**
+```rust
+// src/daemon/example.rs
+use crate::daemon::DaemonManager;
+
+impl DaemonManager {
+    pub async fn handle_example_request(
+        &self,
+        request: ExampleRequest,
+    ) -> Result<ExampleResponse, Error> {
+        // Handle request
+        Ok(ExampleResponse::new())
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## 🧪 **Testing Your Changes**

+    assert!(result.is_ok());
+    
+    // Test unauthorized action
+    let result = manager.check_authorization("org.projectatomic.aptostree.upgrade", authorized_user).await;

+}
+
+#[tokio::test]
+async fn test_polkit_policy_validation() {

+    
+    // Test valid policy

+
+#[tokio::test]
+async fn test_privilege_escalation_prevention() {
+    let manager = PrivilegeManager::new();
+    
+    // Test that regular users cannot escalate privileges
+    let regular_user = 1000;
+    let result = manager.check_privilege_escalation(regular_user, "root").await;
+    assert!(result.is_err()); // Should fail
+    
+    // Test that privileged operations require proper authorization
+    let result = manager.check_privilege_escalation(regular_user, "sudo").await;

+
+### **3. Optimization Opportunities**
+- **Caching**: Intelligent caching of frequently accessed data
+- **Parallelization**: Concurrent execution of independent operations
+- **Lazy loading**: Defer non-critical operations
+- **Compression**: Efficient data storage and transfer
+
+## 🚀 **Optimization Strategies**
+
+### **1. Caching Layer**
+```rust
+// Package metadata cache
+pub struct PackageCache {
+    metadata: LruCache<String, PackageInfo>,
+    dependencies: LruCache<String, Vec<String>>,
+    conflicts: LruCache<String, Vec<String>>,
+}
+
+// OSTree commit cache
+pub struct CommitCache {
+    commits: LruCache<String, CommitInfo>,
+    trees: LruCache<String, TreeInfo>,
+}
+```
+
+### **2. Parallel Processing**
+```rust
+// Concurrent package operations
+pub async fn install_packages_parallel(
+    packages: Vec<String>,
+    max_concurrent: usize,
+) -> AptOstreeResult<()> {
+    let chunks: Vec<Vec<String>> = packages
+        .chunks(max_concurrent)
+        .map(|chunk| chunk.to_vec())
+        .collect();
+    
+    let futures: Vec<_> = chunks
+        .into_iter()
+        .map(|chunk| install_package_chunk(chunk))
+        .collect();
+    
+    futures::future::join_all(futures).await;
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+### **3. Lazy Loading**
+```rust
+// Lazy package information loading
+pub struct LazyPackageInfo {
+    name: String,
+    loaded: Arc<RwLock<bool>>,
+    info: Arc<RwLock<Option<PackageInfo>>>,
+}
+
+impl LazyPackageInfo {
+    pub async fn get_info(&self) -> AptOstreeResult<PackageInfo> {
+        let mut loaded = self.loaded.write().await;
+        if !*loaded {
+            let info = self.load_package_info(&self.name).await?;
+            *self.info.write().await = Some(info.clone());
+            *loaded = true;
+            Ok(info)
+        } else {
+            Ok(self.info.read().await.clone().unwrap())
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### **4. Memory Management**
+```rust
+// Efficient memory usage
+pub struct MemoryPool {
+    buffers: Vec<Vec<u8>>,
+    max_size: usize,
+    current_size: AtomicUsize,
+}
+
+impl MemoryPool {
+    pub fn get_buffer(&self, size: usize) -> Option<Vec<u8>> {
+        if self.current_size.load(Ordering::Relaxed) + size <= self.max_size {
+            self.current_size.fetch_add(size, Ordering::Relaxed);
+            Some(vec![0; size])
+        } else {
+            None
+        }
+    }
+}
+```
+
+## 📈 **Performance Monitoring**
+
+### **1. Metrics Collection**
+```rust
+// Performance metrics
+pub struct PerformanceMetrics {
+    command_times: HashMap<String, Vec<Duration>>,
+    memory_usage: Vec<MemorySnapshot>,
+    cpu_usage: Vec<CpuSnapshot>,
+    io_operations: Vec<IoOperation>,
+}
+
+impl PerformanceMetrics {
+    pub fn record_command_time(&mut self, command: &str, duration: Duration) {
+        self.command_times
+            .entry(command.to_string())
+            .or_insert_with(Vec::new)
+            .push(duration);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### **2. Profiling Tools**
+- **CPU profiling**: Identify hot paths and bottlenecks
+- **Memory profiling**: Track memory allocation patterns
+- **I/O profiling**: Monitor disk and network operations
+- **Network profiling**: Analyze package download performance
+
+### **3. Benchmarking Suite**
+```rust
+// Performance benchmarks
+#[cfg(test)]
+mod benchmarks {
+    use criterion::{black_box, criterion_group, criterion_main, Criterion};
+    
+    fn benchmark_package_search(c: &mut Criterion) {
+        c.bench_function("package_search_1000", |b| {
+            b.iter(|| {
+                let manager = AptManager::new();
+                black_box(manager.search_packages("test"))
+            })
+        });
+    }
+    
+    criterion_group!(benches, benchmark_package_search);
+    criterion_main!(benches);
+}
+```

+ls /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.projectatomic.aptostree.policy
+
+# Verify policy installation
+sudo apt install apt-ostree-polkit
+
+# Check user session
+loginctl show-user $USER
+```
+
+### **Daemon Connection Errors**
+
+#### **Error**: `Failed to connect to daemon` or `Daemon not running`
+**Cause**: aptostreed daemon is not running or not accessible
+**Solution**:
+```bash
+# Start the daemon
+sudo apt-ostree start-daemon
+
+# Check daemon status
+systemctl status aptostreed
+
+# Check DBus connection
+busctl --user list | grep aptostree
+
+# Restart daemon
+sudo systemctl restart aptostreed
+```
+
+#### **Error**: `DBus connection failed`
+**Cause**: DBus communication issues
+**Solution**:
+```bash
+# Check DBus service
+systemctl status dbus
+
+# Restart DBus
+sudo systemctl restart dbus
+
+# Check DBus logs
+journalctl -u dbus -f
+
+# Verify user session
+loginctl show-user $USER
+```
+
+### **OSTree Errors**
+
+#### **Error**: `OSTree repository not found` or `Invalid OSTree path`
+**Cause**: OSTree repository is corrupted or missing
+**Solution**:
+```bash
+# Check OSTree repository
+ostree admin status
+
+# Verify repository integrity
+ostree fsck
+
+# Check repository path
+ls -la /ostree/repo/
+
+# Reinitialize repository (if necessary)
+sudo ostree admin init-fs /
+```
+
+#### **Error**: `Deployment not found` or `Invalid deployment`
+**Cause**: OSTree deployment is corrupted or missing
+**Solution**:
+```bash
+# List deployments
+ostree admin status
+
+# Check deployment paths
+ls -la /ostree/deploy/
+
+# Verify boot configuration
+ls -la /boot/loader/entries/
+
+# Check systemd-boot configuration
+bootctl status
+```
+
+### **Package Management Errors**
+
+#### **Error**: `Package not found` or `Package installation failed`
+**Cause**: Package not available or dependency issues
+**Solution**:
+```bash
+# Update package lists
+sudo apt update
+
+# Check package availability
+apt-cache search <package>
+
+# Check package dependencies
+apt-cache show <package>
+
+# Verify APT configuration
+cat /etc/apt/sources.list
+```
+
+#### **Error**: `Package conflict detected`
+**Cause**: Package conflicts with existing system
+**Solution**:
+```bash
+# Check package conflicts
+apt-ostree db diff
+
+# List package overrides
+apt-ostree override list
+
+# Check user overlays
+apt-ostree usroverlay list
+
+# Resolve conflicts manually
+sudo apt-ostree override reset <package>
+```
+
+### **Filesystem Errors**
+
+#### **Error**: `Overlay mount failed` or `Filesystem error`

+# Security Hardening Plan
+
+## 🎯 **Objective**
+
+Implement comprehensive security measures to protect apt-ostree from various attack vectors while maintaining system functionality and user experience.
+
+## 🛡️ **Security Threats**
+
+### **1. Privilege Escalation**
+- **Unauthorized system modifications** through package installation
+- **Root access** through malicious package scripts
+- **System compromise** through package vulnerabilities
+
+### **2. Data Integrity**
+- **Package tampering** during download or installation
+- **Repository compromise** leading to malicious packages
+- **System state corruption** through failed operations
+
+### **3. Information Disclosure**
+- **Sensitive system information** exposure
+- **User data leakage** through logging or debugging
+- **Configuration details** accessible to unauthorized users
+
+### **4. Denial of Service**
+- **Resource exhaustion** through malicious operations
+- **System instability** through package conflicts
+- **Service disruption** through transaction failures
+
+## 🔒 **Security Measures**
+
+### **1. Authentication and Authorization**
+
+#### **Polkit Integration**
+```rust
+// Enhanced Polkit authorization
+pub struct SecurityManager {
+    authority: Authority,
+    policies: HashMap<String, SecurityPolicy>,
+    user_cache: LruCache<String, UserPermissions>,
+}
+
+impl SecurityManager {
+    pub async fn check_authorization(
+        &self,
+        action: &str,
+        user: &str,
+        details: &HashMap<String, String>,
+    ) -> AptOstreeResult<bool> {
+        let policy = self.policies.get(action)
+            .ok_or_else(|| AptOstreeError::Security("Unknown action".to_string()))?;
+        
+        let permissions = self.get_user_permissions(user).await?;
+        
+        if policy.requires_root && !permissions.is_root {
+            return Ok(false);
+        }
+        
+        if policy.requires_specific_user && !policy.allowed_users.contains(user) {
+            return Ok(false);
+        }
+        
+        Ok(true)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### **User Role Management**
+```rust
+// User role definitions
+#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
+pub enum UserRole {
+    Administrator,    // Full system access
+    PowerUser,       // Package management access
+    StandardUser,    // Read-only access
+    Guest,           // Minimal access
+}
+
+impl UserRole {
+    pub fn can_install_packages(&self) -> bool {
+        matches!(self, UserRole::Administrator | UserRole::PowerUser)
+    }
+    
+    pub fn can_modify_system(&self) -> bool {
+        matches!(self, UserRole::Administrator)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### **2. Input Validation and Sanitization**
+
+#### **Package Name Validation**
+```rust
+// Secure package name validation
+pub fn validate_package_name(name: &str) -> AptOstreeResult<()> {
+    // Check for path traversal attempts
+    if name.contains("..") || name.contains("/") || name.contains("\\") {
+        return Err(AptOstreeError::Security(
+            "Invalid package name: path traversal detected".to_string()
+        ));
+    }
+    
+    // Check for command injection attempts
+    let dangerous_chars = [';', '&', '|', '$', '(', ')', '`'];
+    if dangerous_chars.iter().any(|&c| name.contains(c)) {
+        return Err(AptOstreeError::Security(
+            "Invalid package name: command injection detected".to_string()
+        ));
+    }
+    
+    // Check length limits
+    if name.len() > 100 {
+        return Err(AptOstreeError::Security(
+            "Package name too long".to_string()
+        ));
+    }
+    
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+#### **Path Validation**
+```rust
+// Secure path validation
+pub fn validate_system_path(path: &str) -> AptOstreeResult<()> {
+    let path = std::path::Path::new(path);
+    
+    // Prevent path traversal
+    if path.components().any(|component| {
+        matches!(component, std::path::Component::ParentDir)
+    }) {
+        return Err(AptOstreeError::Security(
+            "Path traversal detected".to_string()
+        ));
+    }
+    
+    // Restrict to system directories
+    let allowed_prefixes = [
+        "/usr",
+        "/etc",
+        "/var",
+        "/opt",
+        "/home",
+    ];
+    
+    let is_allowed = allowed_prefixes.iter().any(|&prefix| {
+        path.starts_with(prefix)
+    });
+    
+    if !is_allowed {
+        return Err(AptOstreeError::Security(
+            "Access to path not allowed".to_string()
+        ));
+    }
+    
+    Ok(())
+}
+```
+
+### **3. Secure Communication**
+
+#### **DBus Security**
+```rust
+// Secure DBus interface
+#[dbus_interface(name = "org.projectatomic.aptostree1")]
+impl DaemonDBus {
+    #[dbus_interface(property)]
+    async fn get_system_status(&self) -> Result<String, Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
+        // Verify caller permissions
+        let caller = self.get_caller_info().await?;
+        if !self.security_manager.check_authorization("get_status", &caller.user, &HashMap::new()).await? {
+            return Err("Access denied".into());
+        }
+        
+        Ok(self.get_status().await?)
+    }
+    
+    async fn install_packages(
+        &self,
+        packages: Vec<String>,
+        #[zbus(header)] hdr: MessageHeader<'_>,
+    ) -> Result<String, Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
+        // Validate caller
+        let caller = self.get_caller_info().await?;
+        
+        // Validate package names
+        for package in &packages {
+            validate_package_name(package)?;
+        }
+        
+        // Check authorization
+        if !self.security_manager.check_authorization("install_packages", &caller.user, &HashMap::new()).await? {
+            return Err("Access denied".into());
+        }
+        
+        // Execute installation
+        Ok(self.execute_installation(packages).await?)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### **Network Security**
+```rust
+// Secure network operations
+pub struct SecureNetworkManager {
+    tls_config: TlsConfig,
+    certificate_store: CertificateStore,
+    allowed_hosts: HashSet<String>,
+}
+
+impl SecureNetworkManager {
+    pub async fn secure_download(
+        &self,
+        url: &str,
+        destination: &Path,
+    ) -> AptOstreeResult<()> {
+        // Validate URL
+        let parsed_url = url::Url::parse(url)
+            .map_err(|_| AptOstreeError::Security("Invalid URL".to_string()))?;
+        
+        // Check allowed hosts
+        if !self.allowed_hosts.contains(parsed_url.host_str().unwrap_or("")) {
+            return Err(AptOstreeError::Security("Host not allowed".to_string()));
+        }
+        
+        // Verify TLS certificate
+        let certificate = self.get_certificate(parsed_url.host_str().unwrap()).await?;
+        if !self.verify_certificate(&certificate).await? {
+            return Err(AptOstreeError::Security("Invalid certificate".to_string()));
+        }
+        
+        // Download with integrity verification
+        self.download_with_verification(url, destination).await
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### **4. Data Integrity and Verification**
+
+#### **Package Integrity**
+```rust
+// Package integrity verification
+pub struct PackageVerifier {
+    hash_algorithms: Vec<HashAlgorithm>,
+    signature_verifier: SignatureVerifier,
+}
+
+impl PackageVerifier {
+    pub async fn verify_package(
+        &self,
+        package_path: &Path,
+        expected_hash: &str,
+        signature: Option<&[u8]>,
+    ) -> AptOstreeResult<()> {
+        // Calculate package hash
+        let actual_hash = self.calculate_hash(package_path).await?;
+        
+        if actual_hash != expected_hash {
+            return Err(AptOstreeError::Security(
+                "Package hash mismatch".to_string()
+            ));
+        }
+        
+        // Verify signature if provided
+        if let Some(sig) = signature {
+            if !self.signature_verifier.verify(package_path, sig).await? {
+                return Err(AptOstreeError::Security(
+                    "Package signature verification failed".to_string()
+                ));
+            }
+        }
+        
+        Ok(())
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### **System State Verification**
+```rust
+// System state verification
+pub struct SystemStateVerifier {
+    checksum_store: ChecksumStore,
+    integrity_checker: IntegrityChecker,
+}
+
+impl SystemStateVerifier {
+    pub async fn verify_system_integrity(&self) -> AptOstreeResult<()> {
+        let critical_paths = [
+            "/usr/bin",
+            "/usr/lib",
+            "/etc",
+            "/var/lib",
+        ];
+        
+        for path in &critical_paths {
+            let checksum = self.checksum_store.get_checksum(path).await?;
+            let actual_checksum = self.calculate_path_checksum(path).await?;
+            
+            if checksum != actual_checksum {
+                return Err(AptOstreeError::Security(
+                    format!("System integrity check failed for {}", path)
+                ));
+            }
+        }
+        
+        Ok(())
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### **5. Audit and Logging**
+
+#### **Security Audit Log**
+```rust
+// Security audit logging
+pub struct SecurityAuditLogger {
+    log_writer: Arc<Mutex<File>>,
+    sensitive_operations: HashSet<String>,
+}
+
+impl SecurityAuditLogger {
+    pub async fn log_security_event(
+        &self,
+        event_type: SecurityEventType,
+        user: &str,
+        operation: &str,
+        details: &HashMap<String, String>,
+        success: bool,
+    ) -> AptOstreeResult<()> {
+        let timestamp = chrono::Utc::now();
+        let event = SecurityEvent {
+            timestamp,
+            event_type,
+            user: user.to_string(),
+            operation: operation.to_string(),
+            details: details.clone(),
+            success,
+            ip_address: self.get_client_ip().await?,
+            session_id: self.get_session_id().await?,
+        };
+        
+        let log_entry = serde_json::to_string(&event)?;
+        let mut writer = self.log_writer.lock().await;
+        writeln!(writer, "{}", log_entry)?;
+        
+        // Alert on sensitive operations
+        if self.sensitive_operations.contains(operation) {
+            self.send_security_alert(&event).await?;
+        }
+        
+        Ok(())

-### Key Design Decisions
-- **Modular Architecture**: Each component is self-contained with clear interfaces
-- **Separation of Concerns**: CLI, daemon, and library code are clearly separated
-- **Documentation-First**: Comprehensive documentation for all components
-- **Testing Infrastructure**: Dedicated testing framework and utilities
-- **Research Integration**: Planning and research notes preserved for reference
-
-## Introduction
-
-apt-ostree is a Debian/Ubuntu equivalent of rpm-ostree, providing a hybrid image/package system that combines APT package management with OSTree's atomic, immutable deployment model.
-
-## Core Design Principles
-
-### 1. "From Scratch" Philosophy
-Every change regenerates the target filesystem completely, avoiding hysteresis and ensuring reproducible results.
-
-### 2. Atomic Operations
-All changes are atomic with proper rollback support, ensuring no partial states.
-
-### 3. Immutable Base + Layered Packages
-- Base image remains unchanged
-- User packages layered on top
-- Clear separation of concerns
-
-## Architecture Components
-
-### Core Modules
-
-#### APT Manager (`src/apt.rs`)
-- Package management using libapt-pkg
-- Repository management and metadata handling
-- Package downloading and dependency resolution
-

-# apt-ostree CLI Manual Mapping
-
-## Overview
-
-This document provides a complete mapping of rpm-ostree CLI commands and options to ensure apt-ostree maintains 100% compatibility. Based on the [rpm-ostree documentation](https://coreos.github.io/rpm-ostree/) and command analysis.
-
-## 🎯 Core Philosophy
-
-apt-ostree aims to be a **hybrid image/package system** that combines:
-- **OSTree** as the base image format (atomic, versioned, checksummed)
-- **APT** package management (Debian/Ubuntu ecosystem)
-- **Client-side package layering** and overrides
-- **Transactional updates** with atomic rollback capability
-
-**⚠️ Important**: Most apt-ostree commands require elevated privileges (sudo) as they modify system state, boot configuration, and OSTree deployments. Only read-only operations like `status`, `search`, and help commands can run without privileges.

-## Architecture Overview
-
-### Daemon-Client Model
-
-apt-ostree follows the same daemon-client architecture as rpm-ostree:
-
-```
-┌─────────────────┐    D-Bus    ┌─────────────────┐
-│   apt-ostree    │ ──────────► │  apt-ostreed    │
-│   (Client)      │             │   (Daemon)      │
-└─────────────────┘             └─────────────────┘

-
-## Development Workflow
-
-### Adding New Commands
-
-1. **Define Command Structure**
-```rust
-// In src/main.rs
-#[derive(Subcommand)]
-enum Commands {
-    // ... existing commands ...
-    
-    /// New command description
-    NewCommand {
-        /// Command argument
-        arg: String,
-        /// Optional flag
-        #[arg(long)]
-        flag: bool,
-    },
-}
-```
-
-2. **Implement Command Logic**
-```rust
-// In src/main.rs match statement
-Commands::NewCommand { arg, flag } => {
-    let result = call_daemon_with_fallback(
-        |client| Box::pin(client.new_command(arg.clone(), flag)),
-        || Box::pin(async {
-            // Fallback implementation
-            let system = AptOstreeSystem::new("debian/stable/x86_64").await?;
-            system.new_command(&arg, flag).await?;
-            Ok("Command completed successfully".to_string())
-        })
-    ).await?;
-    
-    println!("{}", result);
-}
-```
-
-3. **Add Daemon Method**
-```rust
-// In src/bin/apt-ostreed.rs
-#[dbus_interface(name = "org.aptostree.dev.Daemon")]
-impl AptOstreeDaemon {
-    async fn new_command(&self, arg: String, flag: bool) -> zbus::fdo::Result<String> {
-        // Implementation
-        Ok("Command result".to_string())
-    }
-}
-```
-
-4. **Add Client Method**
-```rust
-// In src/daemon_client.rs
-impl DaemonClient {
-    pub async fn new_command(&self, arg: String, flag: bool) -> Result<String, Box<dyn Error>> {
-        let reply: String = self.proxy.call("new_command", &(arg, flag)).await?;
-        Ok(reply)
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### Adding New Modules
-
-1. **Create Module File**
-```rust
-// src/new_module.rs
-use crate::error::{AptOstreeError, AptOstreeResult};
-
-pub struct NewModule {
-    // Module state
-}
-
-impl NewModule {
-    pub fn new() -> AptOstreeResult<Self> {
-        Ok(Self {})
-    }
-    
-    pub async fn do_something(&self) -> AptOstreeResult<()> {
-        // Implementation
-        Ok(())
-    }
-}
-```
-
-2. **Add to lib.rs**
-```rust
-// src/lib.rs
-pub mod new_module;
-```
-
-3. **Add Tests**
-```rust
-// src/new_module.rs
-#[cfg(test)]
-mod tests {
-    use super::*;
-    
-    #[tokio::test]
-    async fn test_new_module() {
-        let module = NewModule::new().unwrap();
-        assert!(module.do_something().await.is_ok());
-    }
-}
-```

-# APT Integration
-
-**Last Updated**: December 19, 2024
-
-## Overview
-
-apt-ostree integrates **APT (Advanced Package Tool)** as the primary package management system for Debian/Ubuntu systems. This integration provides high-level package management capabilities including dependency resolution, repository management, and package installation within the immutable OSTree context.
-
-## 🎯 Key Integration Goals
-
-### 1. APT in Immutable Context
-- Use APT for package management while maintaining OSTree's immutable filesystem
-- Preserve APT's dependency resolution capabilities
-- Maintain package database consistency across deployments
-
-### 2. Performance Optimization
-- Leverage APT's efficient package caching
-- Optimize package download and installation
-- Minimize storage overhead in OSTree layers
-
-### 3. Compatibility
-- Maintain compatibility with existing APT workflows
-- Support standard APT repositories and package formats
-- Preserve APT configuration and preferences
-
-## 🏗️ Architecture
-
-### APT Manager Component
-
-The `AptManager` is the core component responsible for APT integration:
-
-```rust
-pub struct AptManager {
-    cache: apt::Cache,
-    package_lists: Vec<String>,
-    download_dir: PathBuf,
-    config: AptConfig,
-}
-
-pub struct AptConfig {
-    sources_list: PathBuf,
-    preferences_file: PathBuf,
-    trusted_gpg_file: PathBuf,
-    cache_dir: PathBuf,
-}
-```
-
-### Integration Points

-                       └─────────────────┘
-```
-
-## 🔧 Core Functionality
-
-### 1. Package List Management
-
-**Purpose**: Keep APT package lists synchronized with OSTree deployments
-
-**Implementation**:
-```rust
-impl AptManager {
-    pub fn update_package_lists(&mut self) -> Result<(), Error> {
-        // Update package lists from configured repositories
-        self.cache.update()?;
-        
-        // Store updated lists in OSTree-compatible location
-        self.store_package_lists()?;
-        
-        Ok(())
-    }
-    
-    pub fn store_package_lists(&self) -> Result<(), Error> {
-        // Store package lists in /var/lib/apt/lists
-        // This location is preserved across OSTree deployments
-        let lists_dir = Path::new("/var/lib/apt/lists");
-        // ... implementation
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**Key Features**:
-- Automatic package list updates
-- OSTree-compatible storage location
-- Repository configuration management
-- GPG signature verification
-
-### 2. Package Download and Caching
-
-**Purpose**: Efficiently download and cache packages for installation
-
-**Implementation**:
-```rust
-impl AptManager {
-    pub fn download_packages(&mut self, packages: &[String]) -> Result<Vec<PathBuf>, Error> {
-        let mut downloaded_packages = Vec::new();
-        
-        for package in packages {
-            // Resolve package dependencies
-            let deps = self.resolve_dependencies(package)?;
-            
-            // Download package and dependencies
-            for dep in deps {
-                let pkg_path = self.download_package(&dep)?;
-                downloaded_packages.push(pkg_path);
-            }
-        }
-        
-        Ok(downloaded_packages)
-    }
-    
-    pub fn download_package(&self, package: &str) -> Result<PathBuf, Error> {
-        // Use APT's download mechanism
-        let pkg = self.cache.get(package)?;
-        let download_path = self.download_dir.join(format!("{}.deb", package));
-        
-        // Download package to cache directory
-        pkg.download(&download_path)?;
-        
-        Ok(download_path)
-    }
-}
-```
-
-**Key Features**:
-- Automatic dependency resolution
-- Efficient package caching
-- Parallel download support
-- Integrity verification
-
-### 3. Package Installation
-
-**Purpose**: Install packages using APT's installation mechanisms
-
-**Implementation**:
-```rust
-impl AptManager {
-    pub fn install_packages(&mut self, packages: &[String]) -> Result<(), Error> {
-        // Create temporary installation environment
-        let temp_dir = self.create_temp_install_env()?;
-        
-        // Download packages
-        let package_files = self.download_packages(packages)?;
-        
-        // Install packages in temporary environment
-        self.install_in_environment(&temp_dir, &package_files)?;
-        
-        // Extract installed files for OSTree commit
-        let installed_files = self.extract_installed_files(&temp_dir)?;
-        
-        // Clean up temporary environment
-        self.cleanup_temp_env(&temp_dir)?;
-        
-        Ok(())
-    }
-    
-    pub fn install_in_environment(&self, env_path: &Path, packages: &[PathBuf]) -> Result<(), Error> {
-        // Set up chroot environment
-        let chroot = ChrootEnvironment::new(env_path)?;
-        
-        // Copy packages to chroot
-        for package in packages {
-            chroot.copy_file(package)?;
-        }
-        
-        // Install packages using dpkg
-        chroot.run_command(&["dpkg", "-i", "*.deb"])?;
-        
-        // Fix broken dependencies
-        chroot.run_command(&["apt-get", "install", "-f"])?;
-        
-        // Configure packages
-        chroot.run_command(&["dpkg", "--configure", "-a"])?;
-        
-        Ok(())
-    }
-}
-```

-```
-
-## Best Practices
-
-### Production Deployment
-
-1. **Enable Structured Logging**
-   ```bash
-   export APT_OSTREE_STRUCTURED_LOGGING=1
-   ```
-
-2. **Configure Log Rotation**
-   ```bash
-   # Add to /etc/logrotate.d/apt-ostree
-   /var/log/apt-ostree/*.log {
-       daily
-       rotate 30
-       compress
-       delaycompress
-       missingok
-       notifempty
-   }
-   ```
-
-3. **Monitor Metrics Storage**
-   ```bash
-   # Check metrics file size
-   du -sh /var/log/apt-ostree/metrics.json
-   
-   # Archive old metrics
-   mv /var/log/apt-ostree/metrics.json /var/log/apt-ostree/metrics-$(date +%Y%m%d).json
-   ```
-
-4. **Set Up Alerts**
-   ```bash
-   # Monitor health check failures
-   journalctl -u apt-ostree-monitoring | grep "CRITICAL"
-   
-   # Monitor high resource usage
-   apt-ostree monitoring --performance | grep -E "(cpu_usage|memory_usage)"
-   ```
-
-### Development
-
-1. **Use Performance Monitoring**
-   ```rust
-   let monitor = PerformanceMonitor::new(manager, "operation", context);
-   // ... perform operation ...
-   monitor.success().await?;
-   ```
-
-2. **Add Health Checks**
-   ```rust
-   // Add custom health checks
-   async fn check_custom_component(&self) -> HealthCheckResult {
-       // Implementation
-   }
-   ```
-
-3. **Monitor Transactions**
-   ```rust
-   let monitor = TransactionMonitor::new(manager, id, type, count, size);
-   // ... perform transaction ...

-
-### Image Structure
-
-#### OCI Format
-```
-my-image.oci/
-├── index.json          # Image index
-├── blobs/
-│   └── sha256/
-│       ├── abc123...   # Config blob
-│       └── def456...   # Layer blob
-└── manifest.json       # Image manifest
-```
-
-#### Docker Format
-```
-my-image.tar
-├── manifest.json       # Docker manifest
-├── config.json         # Image config
-└── layer.tar.gz        # Compressed layer
-```
-
-### Base Image Resolution
-
-```rust
-// Parse base image reference
-let base_image = parse_base_image_ref("ubuntu:24.04")?;
-// Result: BaseImageRef { distribution: "ubuntu", version: "24.04", architecture: None }
-
-// Map to OSTree branch
-let ostree_branch = format!("{}/{}/{}", 
-    base_image.distribution, 
-    base_image.version, 
-    base_image.architecture.as_deref().unwrap_or("x86_64")
-);
-// Result: "ubuntu/24.04/x86_64"
-```
-
-## Testing
-
-### Unit Tests
-
-```bash
-# Run OCI-specific tests
-cargo test oci
-
-# Run all tests
-cargo test
-```
-
-### Integration Tests
-
-```bash
-# Test OCI image generation
-./test-oci.sh
-
-# Test with real OSTree commits
-apt-ostree compose create --base ubuntu:24.04 --dry-run
-apt-ostree compose build-image test-commit my-test-image --format oci
-```
-
-### Validation
-
-```bash
-# Validate OCI image structure
-skopeo inspect oci:my-image.oci
-
-# Validate Docker image
-docker load < my-image.tar
-docker run --rm my-image:latest echo "Hello from apt-ostree!"
-```
-
-## Error Handling
-
-### Common Errors
-
-#### **Base Image Not Found**
-```
-Error: Base image not found locally: ubuntu:24.04
-Solution: Ensure the base image is available in the OSTree repository
-```
-
-#### **Invalid Source Reference**
-```
-Error: Invalid base image reference format: invalid-ref
-Solution: Use format like "ubuntu:24.04" or "debian/12/x86_64"
-```
-
-#### **OSTree Checkout Failed**
-```
-Error: Failed to checkout commit: abc123...
-Solution: Verify the commit exists and is accessible
-```
-
-### Recovery
-
-The OCI builder includes automatic cleanup of temporary files and proper error propagation:
-
-```rust
-impl Drop for OciImageBuilder {
-    fn drop(&mut self) {
-        // Clean up temp directory on drop
-        if self.temp_dir.exists() {
-            let _ = std::fs::remove_dir_all(&self.temp_dir);
-        }
-    }
-}
-```
-
-## Performance Considerations
-
-### Optimization Strategies
-
-1. **Layer Deduplication**: Reuse existing layers when possible
-2. **Parallel Processing**: Process multiple layers concurrently
-3. **Streaming**: Stream large files without loading into memory
-4. **Caching**: Cache base images and intermediate results
-
-### Memory Usage
-
-- **Temporary Storage**: Uses system temp directory for intermediate files
-- **Streaming**: Large files are processed in chunks
-- **Cleanup**: Automatic cleanup of temporary files
-
-## Security
-
-### Image Security
-
-- **Content Addressing**: All blobs are content-addressed with SHA256
-- **Digest Verification**: Automatic digest verification during image creation
-- **Metadata Validation**: OCI specification compliance validation
-
-### Build Security
-
-- **Temporary Files**: Secure temporary file handling
-- **Permission Preservation**: Maintains original file permissions
-- **Isolation**: Build process isolated from host system
-
-## Future Enhancements
-
-### **Phase 1: Registry Integration**
-- [ ] Container registry push/pull operations
-- [ ] Registry authentication (Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry, etc.)
-- [ ] Image tagging and versioning
-- [ ] Multi-arch image support
-
-### **Phase 2: Advanced Features**

-pub struct OstreeManager {
-    repo: ostree::Repo,
-    deployment_path: PathBuf,
-    commit_metadata: HashMap<String, String>,
-}
-
-impl OstreeManager {
-    pub fn create_commit(&mut self, files: &[PathBuf]) -> Result<String, Error>;
-    pub fn deploy(&mut self, commit: &str) -> Result<(), Error>;

-}
-```
-
-## 🔧 Technical Challenges Research
-
-### 1. APT Database Management in OSTree Context
-
-**Challenge**: APT databases must be managed within OSTree's immutable filesystem structure.

-        // Handle multi-arch database entries
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 2. DEB Script Execution in Immutable Context
-
-**Challenge**: DEB maintainer scripts assume mutable systems but must run in immutable context.
-
-**Research Findings**:

-- Scripts often modify `/etc`, `/var`, and other mutable locations
-- Some scripts require user interaction or network access
-- Script execution order and dependencies are complex
-
-**Solution Strategy**:
-```rust
-// Script execution approach
-impl ScriptExecutor {
-    pub fn analyze_scripts(&self, package: &Path) -> Result<ScriptAnalysis, Error> {
-        // Extract and analyze maintainer scripts
-        // Detect problematic patterns
-        // Validate against immutable constraints
-        // Provide warnings and error reporting
-    }
-    
-    pub fn execute_safely(&self, scripts: &[Script]) -> Result<(), Error> {
-        // Execute scripts in bubblewrap sandbox
-        // Handle conflicts and errors gracefully
-        // Provide offline execution when possible
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 3. Filesystem Assembly and Optimization
-
-**Challenge**: Efficiently assemble filesystem from multiple layers while maintaining performance.
-
-**Research Findings**:

-
-**Solution Strategy**:
-```rust
-// Filesystem assembly approach
-impl FilesystemAssembler {
-    pub fn assemble_filesystem(&self, layers: &[Layer]) -> Result<PathBuf, Error> {
-        // Compute efficient layer assembly order
-        // Use content-addressable storage for deduplication
-        // Optimize file copying and linking
-        // Handle conflicts between layers
-    }
-}
-```
-
-### 4. Multi-Arch Support
-
-**Challenge**: Debian's multi-arch capabilities must work within OSTree's layering system.
-
-**Research Findings**:
-- Multi-arch allows side-by-side installation of packages for different architectures
-- Architecture-specific paths must be handled correctly
-- Dependency resolution must consider architecture constraints
-- Package conflicts can occur between architectures
-
-**Solution Strategy**:
-```rust
-// Multi-arch support approach
-impl AptManager {
-    pub fn handle_multiarch(&self, package: &str, arch: &str) -> Result<(), Error> {
-        // Add architecture support if needed
-        // Handle architecture-specific file paths
-        // Resolve dependencies within architecture constraints
-        // Prevent conflicts between architectures
-    }
-}
-```

-        // Create container from base image
-        // Install packages in container
-        // Export container filesystem changes
-        // Create OSTree layer from changes
-    }
-}
-```
-

-## Best Practices
-
-### System Updates
-1. **Always preview changes**: Use `--preview` or `--dry-run` before applying changes
-2. **Keep multiple deployments**: Use `cleanup --keep 3` to maintain rollback options
-3. **Test in staging**: Test updates in a staging environment before production
-4. **Monitor system**: Check system status regularly with `apt-ostree status`
-
-### Package Management
-1. **Use atomic operations**: Install multiple packages in single transaction
-2. **Verify packages**: Check package information before installation
-3. **Manage dependencies**: Let apt-ostree handle dependency resolution
-4. **Use overrides sparingly**: Only override packages when necessary
-
-### Security
-1. **Keep system updated**: Regular security updates
-2. **Monitor logs**: Check system logs for issues
-3. **Use sandboxing**: Scripts run in sandboxed environment
-4. **Verify signatures**: Package signatures are verified automatically
-
-### Performance
-1. **Optimize storage**: Regular cleanup of old deployments
-2. **Use caching**: APT cache is maintained for performance
-3. **Monitor resources**: Check disk and memory usage
-4. **Batch operations**: Combine multiple operations when possible
-
-## Examples
-
-### Basic System Setup
-```bash
-# Initialize system
-sudo apt-ostree init
-
-# Install essential packages
-sudo apt-ostree install curl vim git
-
-# Check status
-apt-ostree status
-```
-
-### Development Environment
