## Overview

SamsaOS is a Cosmos-based operating-system project with a command-line shell, graphical desktop/file browser, text editors, and small console applications. The principal workflow is user input through the kernel’s console loop to command dispatch, which can operate on files or launch an application or GUI mode. The kernel also registers the virtual filesystem and handles desktop and GUI file operations. The README is empty, and excerpts are partial; the graph omits uncertain wiring, especially how the GUI notepad is launched.

Main entry points: [`SamsaOS/CommandManager.cs`](https://github.com/dimplpiml-droid/samsaos/blob/master/SamsaOS/CommandManager.cs) (Command Manager), [`SamsaOS/Kernel.cs`](https://github.com/dimplpiml-droid/samsaos/blob/master/SamsaOS/Kernel.cs) (Kernel and UI Loop), [`SamsaOS/Apps/MivEditor.cs`](https://github.com/dimplpiml-droid/samsaos/blob/master/SamsaOS/Apps/MivEditor.cs) (MIV Text Editor), [`SamsaOS/NotepadGUI.cs`](https://github.com/dimplpiml-droid/samsaos/blob/master/SamsaOS/NotepadGUI.cs) (GUI Notepad)
