# StartOS Dependency Audit — 2026-03-10

## Summary

**`core/archipelago/` has ZERO dependencies on `core/startos/`.** The startos directory is dead code — not compiled, not imported, not referenced by any active module.

## Findings

### Workspace
- `core/Cargo.toml` workspace members: `archipelago`, `container`, `parmanode`, `performance`, `security`
- `startos` is NOT a workspace member

### Dependencies
- `core/archipelago/Cargo.toml`: no startos dependency
- `core/container/Cargo.toml`: no startos dependency
- All other core modules: no startos dependency
- `cargo tree -p archipelago`: startos does not appear

### Source Code
- Zero `use startos::*` imports in `core/archipelago/src/`
- Zero references to startos in any active Rust code
- No git submodule reference

### Status
`core/startos/` contains a StartOS fork (`start-os` v0.3.5-rev.1) that is present on disk but completely inert. It can be safely removed.

## Action
Remove `core/startos/` directory. No migration needed — there are no dependencies to migrate.
