SPENCER

Overview

SPENCER is an OS construction system integrating A9N Microkernel, the Nun runtime, and A9NLoader-rs behind one build interface. Its cargo xtask commands cover component builds, UEFI disk-image generation, QEMU execution, and GDB attachment.

What it provides

Unified build and run commands
Bootable UEFI disk-image generation
QEMU execution and GDB debugging
External OS payload integration

Role in the A9N Project

It combines independent repositories into a reproducible standard composition. Rather than building A9N alone, it produces a runnable system containing the kernel, loader, and user payload.
