Technical brief — HCM bootstrap

Purpose

This localized note explains the scope and checks associated with HCM bootstrap.

Checks

• Always verify the version, artifact, environment, expected result and return code.
• Repeat after a restart when persistence or runtime state is part of the scenario.

Boundary

A packaged component is not READY; documented runtime proof is required for the exact artifact.

Current status

HexaOS is in engineering and validation. No ISO is declared ready without reproducible tests.
