FWIW Darling runs in userspace too.

What do you mean by "proprietary components"?

Thanks! What I meant is that Kakehashi doesn't require a custom Linux kernel module (LKM). Kakehashi operates completely without root privileges or kernel-level modifications.

By "proprietary components," I meant that in my prompts, I explicitly forbade the copying or direct implementation of private Apple code. Of course, since LLMs are a bit of a black box, it's hard to be 100% certain about everything it synthesized under the hood, but the clear intent was to stick to public ABI definitions and standard open specs.
