docs(naming): adopt OS / Enhanced product-line framing + align with existing repos
Two product lines, named to make scope obvious to buyers: - 🔒 SilverMetal OS — we ship the operating system or ROM (Linux, Pixel, Samsung-unlocked, Motorola-unlocked) - 🛡️ SilverMetal Enhanced — we harden the OS the device already runs (Windows, macOS, iOS, generic Android) Repo alignment: - SilverVPN already exists as a SilverLABS product (server + MAUI client + Linux client + tunnel service). stack/vpn/ is now an integration pointer rather than a re-scaffold; per-platform READMEs reference it. - SilverApple is deprecated; SilverMetal Enhanced — iOS supersedes it. Migration step added as roadmap milestone 3I.1. - SilverDROID name clash explicitly noted as unrelated (it's the SilverSHELL AppStore Android client, not an Android ROM). - SilverChat may overlap with SilverVPN.Client.Chat; alignment decision added as roadmap milestone 1.1.1. Roadmap restructured: phases now track the OS/Enhanced split. Platform matrix re-sectioned and decision flowchart updated. README rewritten around the two-product-line framing.

Each app is built natively per platform — no Electron sprawl where avoidable:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Linux**: native `.deb` + Flatpak
|

- **Android**: native APK / AAB

- **Android**: native APK / AAB (or MAUI where SilverVPN already provides it)

- **Windows**: native MSI / EXE (signed)

- **iOS**: App Store

Where a single codebase (e.g., Tauri / Rust core) lets us hit multiple platforms with a thin native UI shell, we use it. We avoid Electron unless the cost of native is unjustifiable.

## v1 ship order
|
||||
|
||||
For SilverMetal OS — Linux v1:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **SilverBrowser** — ungoogled-chromium-derived, our defaults, our update channel
|
||||
2. **SilverVPN** — WireGuard-based, our exit nodes, account-number signup
|
||||
3. **SilverSync** — Nextcloud-backed (server side), client-side encryption, native clients
|
||||
2. **SilverVPN** integration — existing product, integrated into our ISO with always-on defaults and kill-switch
|
||||
3. **SilverSync** — Nextcloud-backed (server side), client-side encryption, native Linux client
|
||||
|
||||
These three ship with SilverMetal Linux v1.
|
||||
|
||||
v1.1 adds Chat, Duress, Keys.

## Server side
|
||||
|
||||
The Stack server components live in separate repositories under `SilverLABS/`:
|
||||
- `silver-vpn-infra` — WireGuard exit-node infrastructure (Terraform / Ansible)
|
||||
- `silver-sync-server` — Nextcloud + Radicale + Baïkal stack
|
||||
- `silver-chat-homeserver` — Matrix Synapse / Dendrite
|
||||
- `silver-account` — account-number issuance + auth gateway
|
||||
Server components live in separate repositories:
|
||||
- `SilverLABS/SilverVPN` — already exists; includes server stack
|
||||
- `SilverLABS/silver-sync-server` *(to be created)* — Nextcloud + Radicale + Baïkal stack
|
||||
- `SilverLABS/silver-chat-homeserver` *(to be created OR may live under SilverVPN)* — depends on v1.1.1 alignment decision
|
||||
- `SilverLABS/silver-account` *(to be created)* — account-number issuance + auth gateway
|
||||
|
||||
Self-hostable counterparts are documented for users who don't want to use SilverLABS infrastructure.
