Hero Console

Portable Control Plane For Mutant-Grade Operators

This manual is optimized for scanning, not scrolling forever. Use the chapter rail to swap sections instantly and keep context while you work.

Original synth loop inspired by heroic 90s animation energy. Not the copyrighted X-Men theme.

Manual build metadata will appear here when the hosted bundle is generated.

Readiness

  • Portable OS repo travels cleanly.
  • Repo-local skills and app wrappers travel with it.
  • Runtime continuity backups protect live memory off-device.
  • Hosted manual/docs stay mechanically aligned with source instructions.

Overview

What This Manual Is Optimized For

Influence Model

This manual now follows the clearer documentation patterns seen in The Documentation Compendium and the stronger navigational model of Hugo Book: concise sectioning, strong scanning cues, sidebar chapter switching, and mobile-safe reading without infinite scroll.

Reading Model

  • One chapter visible at a time
  • Searchable chapter rail
  • Prev / next chapter controls
  • Commands grouped by task, not by file

Guided Onboarding

Generate A Setup Path

Fresh Install

Blank Workstation Fast Path

git clone https://github.com/leagibson/forge-home.git
cd forge-home
./bin/forge-bootstrap
./bin/forgeos portable-distribution
./bin/forge-login --no-chat

Install Persistent Services

./bin/forge-bootstrap --install-service

Attach First Work Repo

./bin/forgeos bootstrap-project-memory --repo-root /path/to/work-repo --project-name "Work Project" --register

Continuity Backup

How Forge Survives Device Failure

Portable Truth

GitHub remains the canonical Forge OS brain for code, docs, policies, skills, and apps.

./bin/forgeos repo-backup --label workstation-snapshot

Live Runtime Truth

Runtime snapshots protect SQLite state, sessions, workflow runs, action items, dashboard state, and other live memory.

./bin/forgeos runtime-backup --label workstation-snapshot

Full Device-Failure Recovery Path

./bin/forgeos continuity-backup --label ovh-offsite --remote-host <user@host> --remote-path /path/to/offsite/backups --ssh-command "ssh ..." --scp-command "scp ..."
./bin/forgeos backup-status
./bin/forgeos runtime-restore --archive-path /path/to/forge-runtime-archive.tar.gz --target-root /tmp/forge-restore-test

The continuity backup combines both runtime snapshot and repo bundle, then prunes old sets and records device-failure readiness.

Mechanical Sync Rule

When install, onboarding, continuity, shortcut, lane-control, or governance instructions materially change, Forge rebuilds the manual artifact and hosted bundle together.
