🔒 MANDATORY SECURITY REQUIREMENTS

Full Disk Encryption (FDE) - MANDATORY

Requirement: ALL systems MUST use full disk encryption with LUKS2

Technical Specifications:

• Cipher: AES-256-XTS (512-bit key)
• Format: LUKS2 with Argon2id KDF
• Partitioning: Separate unencrypted /boot (UEFI requirement)
• Boot Process: Encryption passphrase required at EVERY system boot
• Recovery: No backdoors, no recovery without passphrase

Encryption Passphrase Requirements (MANDATORY):

• Minimum Length: 14 characters (20+ strongly recommended)
• Character Classes: At least 1 of each:
  • Uppercase letter (A-Z)
  • Lowercase letter (a-z)
  • Digit (0-9)
  • Special character (!@#$%^&*)
• Prohibited Patterns:
  • Common words (password, secret, admin, root)
  • Sequential patterns (123, abc, qwerty)
  • Repeated characters (max 2 consecutive)

Implementation Files:

• config/preseed.cfg - Debian installer crypto partitioning
• config/hooks/installed/encryption-setup.sh - LUKS2 configuration
• config/hooks/installed/encryption-validation.sh - Encryption verification

Compliance: NIST SP 800-111, NIST SP 800-53 SC-13

Password Complexity - MANDATORY

Requirement: ALL user passwords MUST meet strict complexity requirements

Password Policy (MANDATORY):

• Minimum Length: 14 characters (20+ strongly recommended)
• Character Classes: Minimum 3 of 4 required (all 4 strongly recommended):
  • Uppercase letters (A-Z) - Minimum 1 required
  • Lowercase letters (a-z) - Minimum 1 required
  • Digits (0-9) - Minimum 1 required
  • Special characters (!@#$%^&*) - Minimum 1 required

Additional Requirements:

• Dictionary Check: Reject common dictionary words
• Username Check: Reject passwords containing username
• Sequence Check: Reject sequential characters (123, abc)
• Repetition Check: Max 2 consecutive identical characters
• Class Repetition: Max 2 consecutive from same character class
• Difference: Min 4 characters different from old password
• Bad Words: Reject (password, secret, admin, root, knel, football, tier0, 12345, qwerty)
• GECOS Check: Reject passwords containing GECOS field info

Enforcement:

• Mechanism: PAM pwquality module
• Scope: ALL users including root
• Enforcing Mode: Reject weak passwords (not just warn)
• Location: /etc/security/pwquality.conf (created by hooks)

Implementation File:

• src/security-hardening.sh - Password policy configuration
• config/hooks/live/security-hardening.sh - Live hook application

Compliance: NIST SP 800-63B, CIS Benchmarks for Debian

🤖 AGENT WORKFLOW

Standard Operating Procedure

1. START UP (First Action)

# Check current state
ls -lh output/

# Read this file (AGENTS.md)
cat AGENTS.md

# Review recent changes
git log --oneline -10

2. UNDERSTAND REQUIREMENTS

• Read MANDATORY SECURITY REQUIREMENTS (above)
• Review PRD.md for detailed requirements
• Check AGENTS.md for critical constraints
• Understand Docker-only workflow

3. MAKE CHANGES

• Read files before editing (Critical!)
• Use conventional commit messages
• Test after every change
• Update relevant documentation

4. TEST CHANGES

# Run tests (inside Docker)
./run.sh test              # Run all tests
./run.sh lint              # Run linting
./run.sh test:unit         # Unit tests only
./run.sh test:integration  # Integration tests only
./run.sh test:security     # Security tests only

5. BUILD ISO (if needed)

# Build ISO (60-90 minutes)
./run.sh iso

# Monitor progress
tail -f /tmp/knel-iso-build.log

# Verify output
cd output/
sha256sum -c knel-football-secure-v1.0.0.iso.sha256
md5sum -c knel-football-secure-v1.0.0.iso.md5

6. TEST ISO (optional)

# Test ISO in VM (runs on host, not in Docker)
./run.sh test:iso create      # Create and boot test VM
./run.sh test:iso console     # Connect to VM console
./run.sh test:iso status      # Show VM status
./run.sh test:iso destroy     # Remove VM

7. COMMIT CHANGES

# Review changes
git status
git diff

# Stage files
git add <files>

# Commit with conventional message
git commit -m "type: subject

body

💘 Generated with Crush


Assisted-by: GLM-4.7 via Crush <crush@charm.land>

"

8. PUSH TO REMOTE

# Push changes
git push origin main

Important Rules

✅ DO

• Read files before editing them
• Use exact text matching (whitespace matters)
• Test after every change
• Run full test suite before committing
• Update documentation when changing behavior
• Follow existing code style
• Use conventional commit messages
• Commit frequently with atomic changes
• Run lint checks

❌ DO NOT

• Edit files you haven't read
• Guess at text matches (be precise)
• Commit without testing
• Skip the test suite
• Break existing tests
• Ignore lint errors
• Make unrelated changes in one commit
• Modify host system directly
• Create directories in /home

---

🐳 DOCKER-ONLY WORKFLOW (CRITICAL)

Why Docker?

• Reproducible builds
• Isolated environment
• No host system pollution
• Consistent across machines
• Easy to clean up

Volumes and Directories

Container Side    Host Side          Purpose
/workspace        ./                 Project root (read-only)
/build            ./tmp              Build intermediate files
/output           ./output           Final artifacts only

Commands Run Inside Container

• ./run.sh build - Build Docker image
• ./run.sh test - Run all tests
• ./run.sh lint - Run linting
• ./run.sh iso - Build ISO

Commands Run on Host

• ./run.sh test:iso - Test ISO with libvirt (VM test only)

NEVER Do These

• ❌ Create directories in /home
• ❌ Install packages on host
• ❌ Modify host system files
• ❌ Write files outside Docker volumes
• ❌ Run live-build commands on host

🔑 KEY CONCEPTS

Build Process

1. Docker Build: Create build environment (~2 minutes)
2. lb config: Configure live-build (~30 seconds)
3. lb bootstrap: Download and install base system (~13 minutes)
4. lb chroot: Install packages and apply hooks (~8 minutes)
5. lb installer: Configure Debian installer (~2 minutes)
6. lb binary: Create binary filesystem (~4 minutes)
7. lb checksum: Generate checksums (~1 minute)

Encryption Setup

1. Preseed: Configure crypto partitioning
2. Live Hook: Apply encryption during live session
3. Install Hook: Configure LUKS2 after installation
4. Validation Hook: Verify encryption post-install

Security Layers

1. Full Disk Encryption - LUKS2 (mandatory)
2. Password Complexity - PAM pwquality (mandatory)
3. Firewall - nftables (inbound SSH, outbound VPN only)
4. WiFi/Bluetooth - Blacklisted (permanently disabled)
5. SSH - WireGuard key authentication
6. Package Management - Disabled for security

🚨 CRITICAL ERROR HANDLING

Build Failures

• Check /tmp/knel-iso-build.log for errors
• Review RESUME.md for common issues
• Check disk space
• Verify Docker permissions

Test Failures

• Run tests individually: bats tests/unit/file.bats
• Check test helper functions
• Verify setup/teardown functions
• Review error messages carefully

Permission Errors

• Ensure run.sh is executable
• Check Docker daemon is running
• Verify user in docker group
• Check volume mount permissions
