-# Simple CLI
+# Simple CLI - Particle-OS Development System

-A simple, CLI-focused Debian-based particle-os system built on Universal Blue's framework. Simple CLI provides a minimal, immutable Linux distribution optimized for command-line usage and server workloads.
+Simple CLI is a Debian-based Particle-OS system focused on providing a clean, CLI-oriented development environment with container-based development tools.

 ## Features

- **Immutable Filesystem**: Built on OSTree for reliable, atomic updates
- **Container-Native**: Built as a container image, deployed with bootc
- **Minimal Footprint**: Focused on essential CLI tools and system utilities
- **Modern Boot**: Uses bootupd for modern bootloader management
- **Debian Base**: Built on Debian Trixie for stability and package availability
+- **Base System**: Debian Trixie with OSTree
+- **Container Runtime**: Podman with full container support
+- **Development Tools**: Both Toolbox and Distrobox for development environments
+- **Build System**: Just-based automation with comprehensive recipes
+- **Immutable Design**: Atomic updates with rollback capability

-## Quick Start
+## Development Environments

-### Building the Image
+Simple CLI provides two powerful development environment tools:
+
+### 1. Toolbox (Official Debian Package)
+
+Toolbox is the official container-based development environment tool, tightly integrated with the system.
+
+#### Quick Start
+```bash
+# Create a development environment
+toolbox create dev
+
+# Enter the development environment
+toolbox enter dev
+
+# Install development tools
+apt update
+apt install gcc make git python3-pip
+
+# Work on projects without affecting the immutable host
+```
+
+#### Features
+- **Native Debian integration** - Uses Debian Trixie containers
+- **Host filesystem access** - Full access to your home directory
+- **Package management** - Use APT to install any tools
+- **System integration** - Access to host network, USB devices, display
+
+### 2. Distrobox (Community Alternative)
+
+Distrobox provides additional flexibility and cross-distribution support.
+
+#### Quick Start
+```bash
+# Create a development environment
+distrobox create dev --image debian:trixie
+
+# Enter the development environment
+distrobox enter dev
+
+# Install development tools
+apt update
+apt install build-essential git python3-pip
+
+# Work on projects with full flexibility
+```
+
+#### Features
+- **Cross-distribution support** - Can use Ubuntu, Fedora, or other images
+- **Advanced container management** - More flexible than Toolbox
+- **Multiple backends** - Supports both Docker and Podman
+- **Custom configurations** - Highly configurable for specific needs
+
+## Using Just Commands
+
+Simple CLI includes comprehensive Just-based automation:

 ```bash
-# Clone the repository
-git clone https://github.com/your-username/simple-cli.git
-cd simple-cli
+# Setup development environment
+just setup-dev

+# Create development environments
+just create-dev-toolbox      # Create Toolbox environment
+just create-dev-distrobox    # Create Distrobox environment
+
+# Enter environments
+just dev-toolbox             # Enter Toolbox environment
+just dev-distrobox           # Enter Distrobox environment
+
+# Test functionality
+just test-toolbox            # Test Toolbox
+just test-distrobox          # Test Distrobox
+
+# List all environments
+just list-envs               # Show all development environments
+
+# Clean up
+just cleanup-envs            # Remove all development environments
+```
+
+## When to Use Which Tool?
+
+### Use Toolbox When:
+- **Native Debian development** - Working with Debian-specific tools
+- **System integration** - Need tight integration with host system
+- **Official support** - Prefer officially supported tools
+- **Simple workflows** - Basic development environment needs
+
+### Use Distrobox When:
+- **Cross-distribution** - Need tools from other distributions
+- **Custom configurations** - Require specific container setups
+- **Advanced workflows** - Complex development environment needs
+- **Flexibility** - Want more control over container configuration
+
+## Configuration Files
+
+### Toolbox Configuration
+- **`/etc/containers/toolbox.conf`** - Main Toolbox configuration
+- **`/etc/profile.d/toolbox.sh`** - Shell integration and welcome messages
+- **`/usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/toolbox.conf`** - Systemd integration
+
+### Distrobox Configuration
+- **`/etc/distrobox/docker.ini`** - Docker backend configuration
+- **`/etc/distrobox/podman.ini`** - Podman backend configuration
+
+## Building and Testing
+
+```bash
 # Build the container image
 just build

 # Test the image
 just test

-# Generate bootable images
+# Generate bootable image
 just generate-bootable
+
+# Full pipeline
+just pipeline
 ```

-### Using the System
+## System Requirements

-```bash
-# Show system information
-ujust info
+- **Container Runtime**: Podman or Docker
+- **Storage**: 10GB+ for development environments
+- **Memory**: 4GB+ RAM recommended
+- **Architecture**: x86_64 (amd64)

-# Check OSTree status
-ujust ostree-status
+## Troubleshooting

-# Update the system
-ujust update
+### Common Issues

-# View system services
-ujust services
-```
+1. **Permission Denied**: Ensure your user is in the appropriate groups
+   ```bash
+   sudo usermod -a -G podman $USER
+   newgrp podman
+   ```

-## Architecture
+2. **Container Creation Fails**: Check container runtime status
+   ```bash
+   podman system info
+   systemctl status podman.socket
+   ```

-Simple CLI follows the particle-os architecture:
+3. **Network Issues**: Verify host networking
+   ```bash
+   ip addr show
+   toolbox enter dev -- ip addr show
+   ```

-1. **Container Image**: The OS is built as a container image using the Containerfile
-2. **OSTree Deployment**: Container images are converted to OSTree commits
-3. **Bootable Images**: bootc-image-builder creates bootable disk images
-4. **System Management**: bootupd handles bootloader updates and management

+# Simple-CLI Scope Definition
+
+## 🎯 Purpose
+Simple-CLI is a **barebones particle-os proving ground** - a minimal reference implementation that demonstrates the core particle-os concept works.
+
+## ✅ What Simple-CLI Should Have
+
+### Core System
+- **Basic OS packages**: systemd, bash, coreutils, vim, less
+- **OSTree integration**: Core particle-os immutable functionality
+- **Boot system**: bootupd, GRUB, initramfs
+- **Kernel**: linux-image-amd64 with basic drivers
+
+### Container & Development
+- **Podman**: Basic container runtime
+- **Toolbox**: **CRITICAL** - makes immutable distros usable
+- **Basic build tools**: Just automation, container building
+- **Skopeo**: Container image inspection
+
+### Minimal Utilities
+- **Network tools**: curl, wget, basic networking
+- **File tools**: Basic file operations
+- **Shell tools**: bash-completion, basic shell utilities
+
+### Essential Immutable Distro Tools
+- **Hardware monitoring**: lm_sensors, powertop, evtest
+- **Network tools**: iwd (wireless), wireguard-tools (VPN)
+- **Development tools**: make, gcc, python3-pip
+- **System utilities**: bcache-tools, fuse-encfs, libxcrypt-compat
+- **Hardware support**: input-remapper, usbmuxd, oddjob-mkhomedir
+
+## ❌ What Simple-CLI Should NOT Have
+
+### Advanced Container Tools
+- docker-compose, docker-buildx, podman-compose
+- Advanced container orchestration
+
+### System Management
+- cockpit, firewalld, pcp monitoring
+- Advanced system administration tools
+
+### Storage & File Systems
+- ZFS, mergerfs, rclone
+- Advanced storage management
+
+### Virtualization
+- libvirt, virt-install, KVM tools
+
+### Advanced Networking
+- Advanced VPN tools beyond wireguard-tools
+
+## 🚀 What Goes to bosom Instead
+
+**bosom** will be the "batteries included" CoreOS equivalent that includes:
+- All the advanced features removed from simple-cli
+- Production-ready tooling
+- Server and HCI capabilities
+- Advanced storage and networking
+
+## 🔧 Why This Scope Matters
+
+1. **Proving Ground**: simple-cli proves particle-os concept works
+2. **Reference Implementation**: Minimal example for other variants
+3. **Development Focus**: Toolbox makes it usable for development
+4. **Clear Separation**: Simple vs. advanced use cases
+5. **Maintainability**: Easier to maintain and debug minimal system
+6. **Immutable Essentials**: Includes tools needed for immutable distro usability
+
+## 📋 Success Criteria
+
+Simple-CLI succeeds when:
+- ✅ Boots and runs as immutable particle-os
+- ✅ Toolbox provides usable development environment
+- ✅ Basic container operations work
+- ✅ OSTree updates and rollbacks function
+- ✅ Can be used as reference for other variants
+- ✅ Includes essential tools for immutable distro usability

+# Boot Performance Optimization for Simple-CLI
+
+## 🎯 Overview
+
+This document outlines the boot performance optimizations implemented in Simple-CLI to address the "boots slow" issue identified in the project.
+
+## 🚀 Boot Performance Optimizations
+
+### 1. Kernel Parameter Optimizations
+
+#### Memory Management
+```bash
+# Optimize memory management for faster boot
+vm.swappiness = 1                    # Reduce swap usage
+vm.dirty_ratio = 15                  # Optimize writeback behavior
+vm.dirty_background_ratio = 5        # Background writeback threshold
+```
+
+#### Kernel Logging
+```bash
+# Reduce kernel logging overhead during boot
+kernel.printk = 3 4 1 3             # Minimize console output
+```
+
+#### Security Optimizations
+```bash
+# Disable address space randomization for faster boot
+kernel.randomize_va_space = 0        # Note: Security trade-off
+```
+
+### 2. Systemd Boot Optimizations
+
+#### Timeout Reductions
+```bash
+# Reduce service timeouts for faster boot
+DefaultTimeoutStartSec=15s           # Faster service start
+DefaultTimeoutStopSec=15s            # Faster service stop
+DefaultRestartSec=100ms              # Faster service restart
+```
+
+#### Parallel Boot
+- Services start in parallel where possible
+- Dependencies optimized for concurrent execution
+- Reduced sequential bottlenecks
+
+### 3. GRUB Boot Optimizations
+
+#### Boot Timeout
+```bash
+GRUB_TIMEOUT=1                       # Minimal boot menu delay
+GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0                # Hide boot menu by default
+GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true       # Quiet hidden timeout
+```
+
+#### Kernel Parameters
+```bash

+fastboot                            # Enable fast boot optimizations
+```
+
+## 🔧 Implementation
+
+### Containerfile Optimizations
+The optimizations are built into the container image:
+
+```dockerfile
+# Boot performance optimizations
+RUN echo "kernel.printk = 3 4 1 3" > /etc/sysctl.d/99-boot-performance.conf && \
+    echo "vm.swappiness = 1" >> /etc/sysctl.d/99-boot-performance.conf && \
+    echo "vm.dirty_ratio = 15" >> /etc/sysctl.d/99-boot-performance.conf && \
+    echo "vm.dirty_background_ratio = 5" >> /etc/sysctl.d/99-boot-performance.conf
+
+# Systemd boot optimizations
+RUN mkdir -p /etc/systemd/system.conf.d && \
+    echo "[Manager]" > /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/99-boot-performance.conf && \
+    echo "DefaultTimeoutStartSec=30s" >> /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/99-boot-performance.conf && \
+    echo "DefaultTimeoutStopSec=30s" >> /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/99-boot-performance.conf && \
+    echo "DefaultRestartSec=100ms" >> /etc/systemd/system.conf.d/99-boot-performance.conf
+```
+
+### Runtime Optimizations
+Additional optimizations can be applied at runtime:
+
+```bash
+# Disable unnecessary services
+systemctl disable systemd-networkd-wait-online.service
+systemctl disable systemd-resolved.service
+
+# Enable parallel boot
+systemctl enable systemd-analyze
+```
+
+## 📊 Performance Measurement
+
+### Built-in Tools
+Simple-CLI includes comprehensive boot performance measurement:
+
+```bash
+# Measure total boot time
+systemd-analyze time
+
+# Identify slowest services
+systemd-analyze blame
+
+# Analyze critical boot chain
+systemd-analyze critical-chain
+
+# Generate boot timeline
+systemd-analyze plot
+```
+
+### Analysis Script
+Use the built-in analysis script:
+
+```bash
+# Quick analysis
+just analyze-boot
+
+# Enable verbose logging
+just enable-verbose-boot
+
+# Apply optimizations
+just optimize-boot
+
+# Full optimization
+just full-boot-optimization
+
+# Quick check
+just quick-boot-check
+```
+
+## 🎯 Expected Results
+
+### Before Optimization
+- **Typical boot time**: 30-60 seconds
+- **Bottlenecks**: Service timeouts, sequential startup, verbose logging
+- **Issues**: Network wait, DNS resolution delays, unnecessary services
+
+### After Optimization
+- **Target boot time**: 15-25 seconds
+- **Improvements**: Parallel service startup, reduced timeouts, optimized memory
+- **Benefits**: Faster development cycles, better user experience
+
+## 🔍 Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+1. **Services failing to start**: Check timeout values
+2. **Network connectivity**: Verify network service dependencies
+3. **Boot failures**: Review kernel parameters
+
+### Debug Mode
+Enable verbose logging for troubleshooting:
+
+```bash
+# Enable debug logging
+just enable-verbose-boot
+
+# Check boot configuration
+just analyze-boot
+```
+
+### Performance Monitoring
+Monitor boot performance over time:
+
+```bash
+# Regular performance checks
+just quick-boot-check
+
+# Detailed analysis
+just analyze-boot
+```

+## 🚀 Future Improvements
+
+### Planned Optimizations
+1. **Initramfs optimization**: Reduce initramfs size and load time
+2. **Service parallelization**: Further optimize service dependencies
+3. **Kernel module loading**: Optimize driver loading sequence
+4. **Filesystem optimization**: Tune filesystem parameters for boot
+
+### Research Areas
+1. **Alternative init systems**: Investigate faster alternatives to systemd
+2. **Kernel compilation**: Optimize kernel configuration for boot speed
+3. **Hardware-specific**: Optimize for specific hardware configurations
