+## ⚠️ READ THESE FILES FIRST
-## Overview
+### 🚀 Quick Start
+1. **AGENTS.md** - Current status + critical requirements (START HERE)
+2. **RESUME.md** - Complete resumption guide
+3. **QUICK_START.md** - Quick reference commands
-KNEL-Football is a highly secure, compliant Debian 13 (Trixie) installation ISO built using a strict Docker-based workflow with Test-Driven Development methodology. The resulting ISO provides a minimal, hardened system with restricted networking designed for tier0 infrastructure access.

-## Security Features
-
-### Kernel Module Blacklisting
-- WiFi modules: cfg80211, mac80211, brcmfmac, iwlwifi, ath9k, rt73usb
-- Bluetooth modules: btusb, bluetooth, btrtl, btintel, btbcm
-
-### Firewall Configuration
-- Default deny policy
-- Dynamic WireGuard endpoint parsing
-- UDP traffic only to WireGuard server
-- nftables implementation
-
-### Package Management Security
-- Execute permissions removed
-- Immutable with `chattr +i`
-- APT/DPKG metadata cleared
-- No package updates possible
-
-### Boot Security
-- UEFI-only boot mode
-- Secure Boot enabled
-- Measured boot implementation
-- Custom keys included
-
-## Compliance
-
-- **CMMC Level 3** - Entry point to tier0 infrastructure
-- **FedRAMP LI-SaaS** - Ready for federal government deployment
-- **DISA STIG** - Adapted Debian 11 STIG for Debian 13
-- **CIS Benchmarks** - Industry best practices for Debian Linux
-
-## User Workflow
-
-### Installation
-1. Boot from ISO
-2. Complete manual partitioning
-3. Set root password
-4. Create non-root user (auto-added to sudo)
-
-### Configuration
-1. Mount USB drive with WireGuard config
-2. Use desktop shortcuts to import/apply configuration
-3. QR code scanning available for mobile configuration
-
-### Remote Access
-1. Remmina for RDP connections
-2. WireGuard tunnel for all network traffic
-3. No direct internet access possible
-
-## Development
-
-### Test-Driven Development
-- Tests written before implementation
-- 100% code coverage mandatory
-- BATS framework for testing
-- Shellcheck for linting
-
-### Build Environment
-- Docker-based container
-- No build tools on host
-- All dependencies in container
-- Proper file permissions
