Show HN: CapOS – A responsibility-gated OS stack with signed process execution

We’ve built a functional prototype for an operating system layer that rejects the classic trust model.

Every process, network access, and system action is explicitly scope-bound to a signed capability token (CapToken) – backed by a cryptographic wallet and domain-specific responsibility structure.

Key Components: CapToken authentication for all system actions

CapAuditDaemon (feedback, incidents, signed system state)

Feedback replaces control – the system acts on effect, not permission

CapNFTs as soulbound responsibility certificates

VPN routing via chain-verified nodes (CapVPNRegistry.sol)

Whitebook & mathematical formalization published on Zenodo

No ACLs, no root, no anonymous processes. Only signed, trackable responsibility. Period.

Feedback kills control. Power demands responsibility.
