adom/hydrogen-windows-bootstrap

The Windows (WSL2) platform layer for Hydrogen. On Windows, Hydrogen's workspace runs inside a WSL2 Ubuntu distro; this package adds everything specific to that runtime on top of the platform-generic adom/hydrogen-bootstrap.

adompkg install adom/hydrogen-windows-bootstrap     # the golden WSL2 image installs this

The platform-layered bootstrap stack

adom/core                                ← Adom ecosystem (generic; shared with Hydrogen Cloud)
  └─ adom/hydrogen-bootstrap             ← Hydrogen, platform-GENERIC
       ├─ adom/hydrogen-windows-bootstrap    ← THIS: WSL2 runtime
       ├─ adom/hydrogen-mac-bootstrap        ← (Kyle)
       └─ adom/hydrogen-ubuntu-bootstrap     ← (Barrett)

Each platform layer depends on adom/hydrogen-bootstrap, which depends on adom/core. The Hydrogen Cloud bootstrap depends on adom/core too, so core stays generic across cloud and desktop Hydrogen.

What this layer adds

• Dependencies: adom/hydrogen-bootstrap (the platform-generic layer) and adom/adom-shotlog (screenshot log tooling).
• Bundled skills: the WSL2-runtime hydrogen-* skills (container, networking, ports, port-watcher, setup, setup-steps, topology, volume, workspace-lifecycle, workspace-monitoring, container-stats) plus the <name>-windows companions of the mixed skills.
• install hook: deploys those skills + seeds the WSL2 code-server workbench.html (trusted domains + activity-bar). Sudo-free (needs_sudo: false; the old updater daemon dependency was retired 2026-07-16).

The skill split (real per-skill reclassification)

All the hydrogen-* skills were read and classified by what's platform-generic vs Windows-specific (not the old shared/wsl2 buckets):

• Generic skills live in adom/hydrogen-bootstrap.
• Clean Windows skills live here, e.g. hydrogen-browser-picker (WebView2), hydrogen-recording (WGC/DXGI), hydrogen-runtime-mode, hydrogen-networking, hydrogen-ports, hydrogen-workspace-lifecycle, the golden-image/WSL2 skills.
• Mixed skills were split: the generic core stays in hydrogen-bootstrap, and the Windows specifics become a <name>-windows companion here (e.g. hydrogen-api-windows carries the /wsl/* endpoint tables, hydrogen-notifications-windows the WinRT/AUMID toast mechanics, hydrogen-setup-windows the WSL2 install cascade). Distinct names mean both layers coexist with no deploy collision.

Still a collaborative pass with Kyle (Mac) and Barrett (Ubuntu): anything in hydrogen-bootstrap that turns out to break off-Windows moves down into the platform layers.
