Summary

First release of the Khal-OS Forward Deployed Engineer Manual — 20 pages covering the full FDE journey from clone-workspace to customer-install. Replaces the unmodified Mintlify Starter Kit.

Reviewed by Claude + council verdict at genie-docs/reports/khal-os-council-verdict.md. Every page carries the 5 kernel-protection guardrails (no core/platform/brain/deploy internals leaked).

Merged into this release

PR Scope Lines
#5 Home + what-is-khal-os + full IA rewrite + starter-kit teardown foundation
#6 Getting Started (clone, install, your-first-pack) + Pack Fundamentals (anatomy, khal-app.json) 5 pages
#4 SDK hooks (hooks-reference, useNats, useKhalAuth, useService) + Services (backend-overview, environment-config) 6 pages (+675 lines)
#7 Patterns (frontend-only, full-stack) + Dev (local-dev-and-testing) + Release (publish-your-pack, customer-install) + Reference (khal-app-json-schema, example-packs) 7 pages

Content map

  • Getting Started — clone-workspace, install-dependencies, your-first-pack
  • Pack Development — anatomy-of-a-pack, khal-app-json
  • SDK — hooks-reference, useNats, useKhalAuth, useService
  • Services — backend-overview, environment-config
  • Patterns — frontend-only-pack, full-stack-pack
  • Dev — local-dev-and-testing
  • Release — publish-your-pack, customer-install
  • Reference — khal-app-json-schema, example-packs
  • Brain — retained existing brain/* pages (overview, quickstart, search, configuration)

Cross-org narrative (on the Home page)

Automagik builds the primitives. Khal-os runs on them. Automagik-dev ships genie, omni, rlmx — the agentic toolchain. Khal-os is the operating system that hosts what those agents build. FDEs reach for the automagik toolchain to author khal packs faster, then ship them via khal-os's deploy rails.

Kernel-protection guardrails (applied + review-verified)

  1. No core/, platform/, brain/, deploy/ source citations.
  2. Contracts exposed, mechanisms hidden (especially useKhalAuth — documents {userId, orgId, role, permissions, loading}, not JWT/WorkOS internals).
  3. Secrets: FDE declares in khal-app.json; platform injects.
  4. Pack-authoring ≠ pack-deployment — release/customer-install intentionally thin.
  5. NATS surface only — explicit <Warning> against khal.internal.* / khal.catalog.* subscriptions.

Review trail

Full PR-by-PR review with signature verification at genie-docs/reports/pr-review-2026-04-17.md. One blocking issue was fixed inline (PR #7's patterns/frontend-only-pack.mdx referenced a fabricated useKhalConfig() hook and the wrong useKhalAuth shape; both corrected against app-kit/packages/types/src/auth.ts before merge).

Outstanding (non-blocking)

  • Screenshot placeholders everywhere (<Frame> with descriptive alt text, no pixels yet) — to be captured from nmstx.khal.ai post-merge.
  • Polish waves (cross-link audit, tab landing pages) can ship after main merges.

Generated by the autonomous docs-sprint orchestrator.

Authored 6 MDX pages for the FDE-facing SDK surface:

sdk/
  - hooks-reference.mdx (index page linking the three hooks)
  - useNats.mdx (pub/sub/request over the platform NATS bridge)
  - useKhalAuth.mdx (current user + org + role)
  - useService.mdx (transport-agnostic client for your own backend)

services/
  - backend-overview.mdx (what a pack service is, shape, lifecycle)
  - environment-config.mdx (khal-app.json env[] declaration + runtime injection)

All hook signatures verified against
app-kit/packages/os-sdk/src/app/hooks.ts. Examples cite pack-terminal
(full-stack reference) and pack-settings (frontend-only useKhalAuth).

docs.json navigation updated with SDK and Services groups under the
existing guides tab.

Kernel guardrails respected: no core/platform/brain/deploy source
citations; contracts-over-mechanisms; NATS surface only (no cluster,
JetStream, or khal.catalog.* internals); JWT/WorkOS explicitly
out-of-scope.

Wish: .genie/wishes/docs-khal-sdk/WISH.md
- Rewrite docs.json with Khal OS brand + 20-page FDE manual IA
- Author index.mdx (Home) with cross-org narrative + Day-1 card
- Author what-is-khal-os.mdx (FDE framing, kernel black-boxed)
- Delete Mintlify Starter Kit boilerplate:
  ai-tools/*, api-reference/*, essentials/*, development.mdx, quickstart.mdx

Kernel-protection guardrails applied throughout.

…n frontend-only-pack

Review flagged (report at genie-docs/reports/pr-review-2026-04-17.md):
- useKhalConfig() does not exist in app-kit/packages/os-sdk — removed.
- useKhalAuth() returns {userId, orgId, role, permissions, loading}, not {user, signOut}.
- Realigned code example with actual KhalAuth interface from app-kit/packages/types/src/auth.ts.
- Noted explicitly that sign-out is a shell concern, matching sdk/useKhalAuth.mdx.

Polish pass per khal-os-polish-findings.md. Seven pages were missing
the 'What's next' navigation pattern established in your-first-pack
and full-stack-pack:

- getting-started/clone-workspace → install-dependencies + your-first-pack
- sdk/useNats → useKhalAuth + useService
- sdk/useKhalAuth → useNats + useService
- sdk/useService → backend-overview + full-stack-pack
- services/backend-overview → environment-config + publish-your-pack
- services/environment-config → backend-overview + customer-install
- reference/khal-app-json-schema → example-packs + anatomy-of-a-pack

Zero new pages, zero scope expansion — just makes the existing 20-page
manual navigable without rely on nav alone.

docs(khal-os): screenshot capture manifest for nmstx.khal.ai
docs(khal-os): FDE manual polish pass — add cross-links to 7 pages
…ignore

Mintlify broken-links was flagging 10 missing image paths referenced
by <Frame> placeholders in the FDE manual. Added 1x1 transparent PNG
stubs at each path so the site renders with zero broken-link warnings.
Real captures will overwrite these in place per images/MANIFEST.md.

Also adds .gitignore (repo had none) to keep node_modules / .mintlify
out of the tree.
