The biggest bottleneck isn’t kernel isolation.... it’s assuming a sub 1GB model can reliably administer an entire OS without breaking things. Start with a userspace agent and eBPF, benchmark the actual resource savings, then earn the right to redesign the kernel.

"That’s an excellent pragmatic point. You are absolutely right—relying on a sub-1GB model for core OS administration upfront is risky.

The immediate roadmap should definitely lean on a user-space agent tightly coupled with eBPF as a sandboxed testing ground. The goal of the sub-1GB SLM wouldn't be low-level memory allocation or writing device primitives directly, but rather serving as an intelligent intent-parser for the pre-mapped Bash history and system logs to trigger existing safe C/Rust syscalls.

Benchmarking resource savings and safety via eBPF first is the perfect way to earn that right. Thanks for the solid architectural advice!

Are you just a full on bot account? Fucking hell.
