+          that You distribute, all copyright, trademark, patent, and
+          other attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+      that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed as
+      modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright notice to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.

+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions

+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. When redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity, or other
+      liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this License.
+      However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only on Your
+      own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf of any
+      other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify, defend, and
+      hold each Contributor harmless for any liability incurred by, or
+      claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason of your accepting
+      any such warranty or additional liability.

+# Containerfiles Directory
+
+This directory contains container definitions for building different variants of **Particle OS** - a Debian-native immutable operating system built with OSTree and bootc.
+
+## Overview
+
+These containerfiles define the base images that will be processed by your `deb-bootc-image-builder` tool to create bootable disk images. Each containerfile represents a different system variant with specific characteristics and use cases.
+
+## Container Variants
+
+### 1. `Containerfile.debian-trixie-minimal`
+**Purpose**: Minimal base system for server and embedded deployments
+
+**Characteristics**:

+
+## How They Work Together
+
+### Build Process
+1. **Container Build**: Each containerfile builds a specific system variant
+2. **Image Processing**: Your `deb-bootc-image-builder` tool processes these containers
+3. **Bootable Image**: Creates bootable disk images (raw, qcow2, vmdk, vdi)
+4. **Deployment**: Images can be deployed to physical hardware or virtual machines
+
+### Variant Selection
+- **Minimal**: Choose for servers, embedded systems, or when you need a small footprint
+- **KDE**: Choose for desktop workstations or when you need a full GUI environment
+- **Core**: Choose as a base for custom variants or when you need the reference implementation
+
+## Technical Details
+
+### OSTree Integration
+All variants include OSTree configuration for:
+- Atomic system updates
+- Rollback capability
+- Immutable system design
+- Bootc compatibility
+
+### Bootc Compatibility
+Each container is designed to work with the bootc system:
+- Proper filesystem structure
+- Bootloader configuration
+- Kernel and initramfs setup
+- Systemd service configuration
+
+### Debian Foundation
+All variants are built on Debian Trixie:
+- Latest testing packages
+- Debian package ecosystem
+- Debian security updates
+- Debian community support
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Building a Minimal Server
+```bash
+# Build the minimal container
+podman build -f containerfiles/Containerfile.debian-trixie-minimal -t particle-os-minimal .
+
+# Process with deb-bootc-image-builder
+./bib/particle-os build --base-image particle-os-minimal recipes/server.yml
+```
+
+### Building a Desktop System
+```bash
+# Build the KDE desktop container
+podman build -f containerfiles/Containerfile.debian-trixie-kde -t particle-os-kde .
+
+# Process with deb-bootc-image-builder
+./bib/particle-os build --base-image particle-os-kde recipes/desktop.yml
+```
+
+### Custom Variants
+```bash
+# Use the core container as a base
+podman build -f containerfiles/Containerfile.particle-os -t particle-os-core .
+
+# Add your custom packages and configuration
+# Then process with deb-bootc-image-builder
+```
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+1. **Modify Containerfiles**: Adjust package selection, configuration, or features
+2. **Build Containers**: Test your changes with `podman build`
+3. **Test Integration**: Verify OSTree and bootc compatibility
+4. **Create Images**: Use deb-bootc-image-builder to create bootable images
+5. **Test Boot**: Verify the images boot correctly in QEMU or on hardware
+
+## Contributing

+  - `scripts/test-scripts/` - Test execution scripts
+  - `scripts/test-files/` - Test-related files
+
+- **Moved scripts to appropriate locations**:
+  - Test scripts → `scripts/test-scripts/`
+  - Build scripts → `scripts/build-scripts/`
+  - Integration scripts → `scripts/integration-scripts/`
+  - Performance scripts → `scripts/build-scripts/`
+
+### **2. Test File Consolidation**
+- **Consolidated test directories**:
+  - Merged `tests/` into `test/` (standard location)
+  - Moved test integration results to `test/integration-test-results/`
+  - Moved test images to `test/test-images/`
+  - Moved pytest configuration to `test/`
+
+- **Organized test structure**:
+  - `test/unit/` - Unit tests
+  - `test/integration/` - Integration tests
+  - `test/performance/` - Performance tests
+  - `test/test-images/` - Test artifacts
+
+### **3. FMF Testing Framework Setup**
+- **Enhanced `.fmf/` directory**:
+  - Updated version to 2.0 (standard)
+  - Created `plans/`, `stories/`, `features/` subdirectories
+  - Added proper FMF configuration
+
+### **4. File Relocation**
+- **Moved large files**:
+  - Test images → `test/test-images/`
+  - Integration results → `test/integration-test-results/`
+  - Package requirements → `devel/`
+
+- **Cleaned root directory**:
+  - Removed scattered test files
+  - Organized build scripts
+  - Consolidated documentation

-# TODO - particle-os: Debian-Native OS Image Builder
-
-## 🎯 **Current Status: WORKING PROTOTYPE - Critical Fixes Implemented, Binary Needs Recompilation**
-
-**Date**: August 17, 2025  
-**Phase**: Phase 4 - Critical Issue Resolution & Production Readiness  
-**Status**: 🚧 **WORKING PROTOTYPE - Core Infrastructure Working, Critical Fixes Implemented, Binary Needs Recompilation**
-
-**Summary**: We have built a working prototype that demonstrates the concept of **container-to-bootable-image conversion for particle-os containers**. The core infrastructure (container extraction, package management, basic image creation) is functional, and we have **IDENTIFIED AND IMPLEMENTED** the critical stage execution fixes. However, the binary needs to be recompiled with these fixes to resolve the permission issues.
-
-**Project Scope**: This project is building a **Debian-native equivalent to bootc-image-builder** that can process **particle-os containers** (which use OSTree + bootc + bootupd) and convert them to bootable disk images, similar to how ublue-os images get processed by bootc-image-builder.

-**Current Phase**: Phase 4 - Critical Issue Resolution (70% Complete)  
-**Next Milestone**: Binary Recompilation and Testing of particle-os Compatibility with Kernel Support  
-**Project Status**: 🚧 **WORKING PROTOTYPE - Critical Fixes Implemented, particle-os Compatibility Implemented, Kernel Installation Implemented, Ready for Testing, Binary Needs Recompilation**
-
----
-
-## 🚨 **CURRENT LIMITATIONS**
-
-### **Production Readiness: NOT READY**
-- Binary needs recompilation to activate critical fixes
-- Core functionality incomplete until binary updated
-- Stage failures prevent successful builds
-- No comprehensive testing
-- Bootability issues with current implementation
-
-### **What It Can Do:**
-- Extract containers and create rootfs
-- Install packages using apt
-- Create basic disk image structure
-- Parse and validate recipes
-
-### **What It Cannot Do:**
-- Complete all recipe stages (due to old binary)
-- Create fully bootable images
-- Handle errors gracefully
-- Provide production-ready output
-
----
-
-## 💡 **RECOMMENDATIONS**
-
-### **Immediate Actions:**
-1. **Recompile binary** - This is the critical blocker
-2. **Test stage execution** - Verify all stages work with new binary
-3. **Complete end-to-end testing** - Validate full workflow
-4. **Add kernel support** - Essential for bootability
-
-### **Development Approach:**
-1. **Fix one stage at a time** - Systematic approach to resolution
-2. **Test thoroughly after each fix** - Prevent regression
-3. **Document all issues** - Build knowledge base
-4. **Iterate quickly** - Rapid development cycles
-
-**The project has solid foundations and critical fixes implemented, but needs binary recompilation to activate these fixes before production use.**
-

-
-## 🔧 **Technical Details of Implemented Fixes**
-
-### **Sudo File Operation Helpers Added:**
-```go
-// writeFileWithSudo writes a file to the rootfs using sudo
-func (pm *PackageManager) writeFileWithSudo(path string, data []byte, mode os.FileMode) error
-
-// removeFileWithSudo removes a file from the rootfs using sudo  
-func (pm *PackageManager) removeFileWithSudo(path string) error
-
-// createSymlinkWithSudo creates a symlink in the rootfs using sudo
-func (pm *PackageManager) createSymlinkWithSudo(oldname, newname string) error
-```
-
-### **Updated Methods:**
-- `ConfigureLocale()`: Now uses `writeFileWithSudo()` for all file operations
-- `ConfigureTimezone()`: Now uses `writeFileWithSudo()` and `createSymlinkWithSudo()`
-- `CreateUser()`: Already used sudo for chroot operations
-
-### **Files Modified:**
-- `bib/internal/particle_os/package_manager.go`: Added helper functions and updated methods
-
-**These fixes resolve the "permission denied" errors that were preventing stage execution.**
