VBMOUSE.EXE is the DOS TSR build artifact (only vbmouse.drv is referenced by OEMSETUP.INF). With no .exe under guest-tools/ the @electron/windows-sign exclude patch is no longer needed. .gitignore now covers all guest-tools/**/*.exe.
* Auto-map \\HOST to Z: from W95TOOLS at login
W95TOOLS.EXE now calls WNetAddConnectionA("\\\\HOST\\HOST", NULL, "Z:")
on a short retry timer (5 tries, 3s apart) so the shared folder shows up
as a drive without a trip through Start -> Run. MPR.DLL is LoadLibrary'd
so the EXE keeps its USER32/KERNEL32-only import table and still launches
if MPR is somehow absent. Skipped if Z: is already taken; gives up
silently if no share is configured.
Works for any user folder because the SMB server's tree-connect already
routes every share name other than TOOLS/IPC$ to the user share; added a
comment in server.ts pointing at the dependency.
Verified by cold-booting the image with the new vs. old binary in
StartUp: new -> tree connect to \\HOST\\HOST within ~5s of desktop and
z:\ opens in Explorer; old -> no SMB traffic after 55s at desktop.
* Drop rebuilt W95TOOLS.EXE from the diff
Binary will be rebuilt and baked into the image alongside the next
default-state re-bake; keep this PR source-only.
* Stop tracking guest-tools/agent/W95TOOLS.EXE
It's a build output of `make -C guest-tools/agent` and CI doesn't
consume it (the disk image is baked out-of-band), so there's no reason
to carry the binary in git.
* Rewrite update-v86.js for the current build pipeline
Both v86 fixes we've been carrying are now real branches on the fork
(PR #1540 electron-renderer-fs-loader, PR #1541 ide-shared-registers)
combined as felixrieseberg/v86:windows95-base. update-v86.js no longer
needs to patch sources at build time — it just builds whatever's checked
out and copies the result.
Gone: the fallback-to-copy.sh path, the skew-day check, the structural
regex patches for load_file/exportSymbol/fetch-bind, the phantom-slave
guard (both are in the branch), the --js-only flag. If you don't have
cargo/clang/java/closure, the script fails loudly — no silent fallbacks.
Added: sanity checks against the installed libv86.js for the invariants
our SMB integration and parcel-build shim depend on, so if upstream
changes something load-bearing we see it as a WARN at update time
instead of a runtime failure.
Tested end-to-end: 5/5 sanity checks, fresh boot SUCCESS in 32s.
* docs and skills: capture SMB/v86/testing knowledge from the session
- docs/smb-share.md: user-facing SMB integration overview (how to mount in
Win95, what's implemented, what's not). Points at the protocol-level
README inside src/renderer/smb/ for wire-level gotchas.
- .claude/skills/probe-win95: how to boot and test the VM without a human.
Env vars, file locations, failure modes, the XT scancode keyboard trick,
bisect rules of thumb.
- .claude/skills/update-v86: how to pull upstream v86 changes, what the
five sanity-check WARNs mean, how to retire the fork branches when the
PRs merge upstream.
.gitignore narrowed to exclude only the runtime dirs (scheduled_tasks.lock,
worktrees) instead of the whole .claude/ tree, so skills can be committed.
Patches src/ide.js before building: restores the dual master+slave writes
for ATA Command Block registers (Features, Sector Count, LBA Low/Mid/High)
that 1b90d2e7 changed to current_interface-only. Those registers are
channel-shared per ATA spec; Win95's ESDI_506.PDR writes them then switches
drive-select expecting the values to persist. Found via JS-only bisect.
Boots fresh in ~32s with the same sporadic-bluescreen rate as the prod build.
The new build has the tcp-connection bus event so SMB uses the clean path
instead of the connection-theft hack (guard added for the old-API monkeypatch
to skip if the bus handler already accepted).
tools/update-v86.js applies the source patch automatically. v86 checkout
left clean (patch stashed).
React 19, Electron 41, TypeScript 6, electron-forge 7.8, plus everything
else to latest. Migrated to React 19 createRoot API, updated for Electron 41
session/window type changes, and adjusted tsconfig for TS 6 deprecations.
Regenerated @electron/packager patch for 18.4.4.
