Field notes
The project describes a 1:1 port before a planned redesign, with system calls and userland-facing behavior intended to match OpenBSD. Its status page tracks subsystems individually, and the homepage marks N0–N4 complete while placing VFS and file systems in the next milestone. The project warns that several security-sensitive areas remain unaudited.
