9p4z — 9P2000 for Zephyr
------------------------

    Project: 9p4z
    Origin:  https://github.com/jrsharp/9p4z
    Author:  Jon Sharp (2025-2026)
    License: MIT

    Provides the 9P protocol core (message codec, server framework,
    union filesystem) that aetherd serves its namespace through, on
    both the Zephyr and Unix builds.


Zephyr RTOS
-----------

    Project: Zephyr RTOS
    Origin:  https://zephyrproject.org/
    License: Apache-2.0

    The module build (data crystals, L2CAP samples) is a Zephyr
    application.  The Unix port re-implements the small slice of
    Zephyr API it needs under unix/include/zephyr/ and does not link
    Zephyr code.


OpenSSL
-------

    Project: OpenSSL
    Origin:  https://openssl.org/
    License: Apache-2.0

    The Unix port links the system OpenSSL for P-256 ECDSA
    verification and SHA-256 (CGA identity), TLS for wss://, and the
    WebSocket handshake digest.  Not vendored.


Design lineage
--------------

aetherd's room model and reading conventions draw on 9bbs (Plan 9)
and Citadel-family BBS software; the filesystem-as-interface design
is Plan 9 from Bell Labs throughout.  No source code from those
systems is incorporated; the influence is at the level of design
and idiom.


Development and authorship
--------------------------

aetherd is designed, directed, and built by Jon Sharp.  It has been
developed in substantial collaboration with Claude (Anthropic's
frontier models, via Claude Code).  Design decisions, direction,
and responsibility for the result rest with Jon.  Code smells belong
to Claude. ;)
