Building a secure OS: the hard list — what I found and what I'm fixing in IONA OS

Every operating system has security gaps. Most never publish them.

IONA OS is a sovereign operating system written from scratch in Rust. It has a kernel, a GUI, a blockchain protocol, a programming language, and a 140,000‑line AI running in Ring 0. It is designed to be secure by default.

But secure is a journey, not a destination.

Here is the hard list — the security issues I found in IONA OS, and what I am doing about them.
