KNEL-Football Project Status Report

Last Updated: 2026-07-30 (Session 10 - ISO built and verified) Maintained By: AI Agent (Crush) Purpose: Quick-glance status for project manager

Current Status: ✅ ISO BUILT AND BOOT-VERIFIED

Executive Summary

Demo ISO built successfully (825MB) and verified booting to login prompt in QEMU VM. Reproducible dev environment setup script added (scripts/setup-dev-environment.sh). VM testing tooling now supports QEMU fallback when KVM is unavailable.

Build & Verification Results (Session 10)

• ISO: output/knel-football-secure.iso (825MB, demo mode)
• SHA256: c9b11932ce0fe015274c81a13bc3202ec4b52178e8fbbe146f9d0010a09b7559
• Boot test: PASS — kernel, systemd init, live-config, reached login prompt
• Serial console: Debian GNU/Linux 13 debian ttyS0 / debian login:
• Tests: 788 pass, 0 fail (6 new KVM/QEMU fallback tests)
• Lint: 0 warnings

Immediate Action: Build the ISO

./run.sh iso        # Build production ISO (prompts for credentials during install)

#	Finding	Severity	Status	How Fixed
C-01	Argon2id KDF not enforced	CRITICAL	✅	preseed early_command patches partman-crypto

C-03	Docker --privileged	CRITICAL	✅	Fine-grained caps (SYS_ADMIN,MKNOD,etc)
C-04	SB keys unencrypted	CRITICAL	✅	chmod 700 dir, chmod 600 keys (all paths)
C-05	USB noexec/nosuid/nodev	CRITICAL	✅	All mount options added + input validation

L-01	Serial console all builds	LOW	⬜	Demo only, not a blocker
L-02	Root login in preseed	LOW	✅	boolean false in production preseed
L-03	Legacy DH kex	LOW	⬜	Fallback only, not broken
L-04	VNC no auth	LOW	⬜	Localhost-only, test VM only

What Was Done This Session (Session 9)

• Removed host FDE requirement entirely (PRD FR-011 redefined, check_host_fde removed)
• Fixed C-04: SB key chmod in inline build hook
• Fixed H-06: encryption-validation.sh now uses lsblk discovery
• Fixed H-09: Cache manifest no longer capped at 20 files
• Fixed M-12: src/ WiFi blacklist synced with live hook
• Fixed COMPLIANCE.md: removed fraudulent ✅ summary table
• Updated all tests, docs, AGENTS.md for host FDE removal

Build Verification

Item	Status
Docker image	✅ Built with refreshed pins
Lint (shellcheck)	✅ 0 warnings
Tests	✅ 788 pass, 0 fail
ISO build	✅ Built (demo, 825MB)
ISO boot test	✅ Reached login prompt via serial console

What You Need To Do

Step 1: Build the ISO

./run.sh iso

Step 2: Scrub Git History (C-06)

pip install git-filter-repo
git filter-repo --path config/includes.installer/demo.preseed.cfg --invert-paths
git push --force origin main

Step 3: Validate on Real Hardware

• Install the ISO
• Run cryptsetup luksDump /dev/sda3 — verify KDF shows argon2id
• Try ssh localhost — should be refused (no server)
• Insert USB — verify mount has noexec,nosuid,nodev
• Check grep StrictHostKeyChecking /etc/ssh/ssh_config — should be "yes"
