# AI Agent Instructions for Sawa Server (SS)

You are assisting with the **sawa-server** project.

## Project Context
- **Name:** sawa-server
- **Codename:** SS
- **Nature of the project:** Alpine Linux USB server node project. This is **NOT** a web app. The end product is a bootable USB stick.

## Guidelines
1. **System-Level Focus:** Focus on shell scripting, Alpine Linux package management (`apk`), system services (`OpenRC`), minimal disk partitioning, and network configurations. 
2. **Minimalism:** Alpine Linux is strictly minimal. Always prefer lightweight native tools (e.g., `busybox`, `ash` instead of `bash`).
3. **No Web Frameworks:** Do not suggest Node.js, React, or any web frameworks unless explicitly requested for a localized control interface.
4. **Resiliency & State:** The system will transition to running diskless in RAM. Data persistence requires specific Alpine tools like Alpine Local Backup (`lbu`). Commands must respect this ephemeral environment.
5. **Project Structure:** *Never* use the project root folder for new files unless absolutely necessary. Place all documentation (except `README.md`) in the `docs/` folder and organize source code into appropriate subdirectories. `README.md` must stay in the project root for git forge display.
