Tirys

ARCHITECTURE

A kernel that isolates, and nothing more.

Every line of privileged code is a permanent liability. The Tirys core exists to isolate, schedule, route and enforce; filesystems, networking and drivers all live in user space, reachable only through capabilities.

Capabilities, not identity

A process acts not because of who it is, but because it holds a specific, unforgeable capability. No ambient privilege. No escalation.

Contained failure

A crashing network stack cannot destroy unrelated applications. Restart a filesystem service without rebooting the machine.

Resources are contracts

Applications declare what they require. The OS either guarantees those resources or refuses to start them. Predictability over optimism.
