Privileged pacstrap builder image for bootstrapping a CachyOS rootfs from scratch. base: arch.arch (via the `arch` import namespace) + the pacstrap-builder candy. Lives in the overthinkos/cachyos submodule (box/cachyos). MUST be invoked before building or troubleshooting cachyos-pacstrap / cachyos-vm.

Privileged builder image used to bootstrap a CachyOS root filesystem via
pacstrap inside a container. It is the bootstrap_builder_image: for
/charly-distros:cachyos-pacstrap and the builder_image: for the
/charly-vm:cachyos VM.
Lives in
overthinkos/cachyos(git submodule atbox/cachyos). It isbase: arch.arch— thearchbase from theoverthinkos/archsubmodule, reached because the cachyoscharly.ymlimports that submodule under thearchnamespace. Its single candy,pacstrap-builder, lives in the main repo (shared with/charly-distros:arch-builder's pacstrap path) and is pulled by git reference.

charly -C box/cachyos box build cachyos-pacstrap-builder
This is the R10 canary for the submodule's composition machinery: a successful
build proves the arch import namespace resolves the arch base from the
overthinkos/arch submodule, the git-ref'd pacstrap-builder candy
materializes, and the embedded build vocabulary (pacstrap builder definition +
cachyos distro config) is reachable.
charly check box cachyos-pacstrap-builder runs the build-scope check: 4 probes pass
(/usr/sbin/pacstrap, arch-install-scripts installed, /usr/sbin/grub-install,
/usr/sbin/parted) — i.e. the pacstrap toolchain the builder must ship.

Invoke BEFORE reading source code or launching Explore agents.
tools
Use when authoring or modifying a charly PLUGIN — a candy with a `plugin:` block that contributes Providers (verbs/kinds/deploy-targets/steps/builders/commands), its own CUE schema, builtin (compiled-in) or external (out-of-tree git repo). Covers the unified Provider model, the per-plugin CUE-schema contract (single source → Go params for dev + schema-over-Describe RPC for runtime), the SDK, and the loader.
tools
The CUE data-validation / configuration CLI (cue), pinned to v0.16.1. Use when working with the cue candy, installing the cue binary into a box or onto a target:local dev host, or running the offline schema-vendoring pipeline that feeds charly's egress validation.
tools
CUE EGRESS validation — validating (and, where it adds value, generating) the config files charly WRITES to a system BEFORE the bytes hit disk. MUST be invoked before working on charly/egress.go, the vendored schemas under candy/plugin-egress/egress-schemas/vendor/, the ValidateEgress / registerVendoredEgressKind path, the offline `task cue:vendor` pipeline, or adding an egress schema for any written artifact (cloud-init, k8s manifests, traefik routes, runtime config, install ledger, systemd/quadlet units, ssh_config, libvirt XML).
tools
Kubernetes cluster-probe declarative check verb — the `kube:` check verb (nodes, pods, ingress, storage class, addon health, apply/delete, and arbitrary resource GETs) served out-of-process by the candy/plugin-kube plugin (vendored client-go; no external kubectl required).
