What wendy-contributing does

This skill acts as a contributor reference for WendyOS, an embedded Linux system targeting edge hardware like NVIDIA Jetson, Raspberry Pi boards, and ARM64 emulation targets. It explains the setup of layers like meta-wendyos-jetson or meta-wendyos-rpi, along with running bitbake targets through bootstrap scripts or Docker environments on macOS.

It also details the internal architecture of wendy-agent, a gRPC daemon on port 50051 that receives deployments directly from source code instead of standard registries. A dedicated section covers Swift integration suites in E2ETests/. Standard GitHub Actions runners do not support nested virtualization, so testing VM workloads requires local hardware or self-hosted instances.

What it helps with

  • Build WendyOS target images using bitbake and meta layers
  • Configure Swift E2E test suites with fast-path execution
  • Debug containerd daemon workflows and gRPC control sockets
  • Prepare virtual development environments for local edge testing

Example prompts for the agent

  • Show me how to compile the edgeos-image layer for NVIDIA Jetson targets
  • Run the wendy-agent Swift integration test suite against my active VM
  • Explain how container deployments work via the wendy run CLI

What does wendy-contributing do?

It gives your coding agent practical context on WendyOS internals, covering Yocto compilation targets, device agent architecture, and VM test execution.

Why is the E2E_USE_EXISTING_VM variable needed during testing?

Setting E2E_USE_EXISTING_VM=true prevents redundant virtual machine health probes, dropping individual test runtimes significantly.
