INSTALLER TRACK · DESIGN

Scout

See what on your current machine already has a sigilOS home.

Scout profiles an existing Windows, Mac, or Linux system — installed apps, disk usage, hardware — and maps what it finds to sigilOS equivalents: a Store app, a Forge core, a Conflux streaming target, or "no equivalent yet." The result is a migration plan, not a guess.

Design phase — nothing here is shipped yet. No profiler binary exists, no backend is live. This page describes the intended shape. Design doc: the Scout RFC.
✓ Disclosed. Consented. Never covert.

Scout profiles your existing operating system before you've even installed sigilOS — that only happens with your explicit, informed consent, every time, same principle as CIPHER and the Warden audit trail. What's collected is limited to app names/versions, disk and hardware inventory — never filenames, file contents, or credentials — and you see exactly what's about to be sent before it sends.

Two ways to run it

Prepare-to-migrate package
NATIVE BINARY

A small native binary for your current OS — auto-detects the platform, profiles the live system, and stores the result locally before you ever touch sigilOS. Run it ahead of time, review the plan, migrate when you're ready.

Installer offline profile
BOOTLOADER PATH

Boot the sigilOS installer from ISO/IMG and it mounts your existing disk read-only, profiling it without needing your current OS to even boot. Useful for a machine that's already unbootable.

Migrate-package downloads

No downloads yet — the Scout profiler app itself hasn't been written for any platform. But the underlying cc0 codegen targets are no longer the blocker: as of this cycle, all three (Linux ELF, macOS Mach-O, Windows PE) exist and compile a working binary. Windows PE is structurally valid but not yet runtime-verified on real Windows hardware.

macOS
cc0 target ready — profiler not yet built
Linux
cc0 target ready — profiler not yet built
Windows
cc0 target ready (PE unverified on real HW) — profiler not yet built
