 #### 1. VA39 Memory Layout Patching (TCMalloc)
-Upstream utilizes Google's `TCMalloc`, which assumes a standard 48-bit Virtual Address (VA) space. On Android devices with custom kernels or older configurations, the user space utilizes a 39-bit VA space. Running the unmodified binary results in segmentation faults or fatal allocation failures. 
-We run a dedicated Python patching process that:
-* Rewrites specific bitmask and `ubfx` (unsigned bitfield extract) instructions.
-* Adjusts page-alignment logic and `mmap` parameters.
-* Rewrites low-level library wrappers (`faccessat2`) to guarantee absolute compatibility with 39-bit systems.
-
-#### 2. Relocatable Bionic C Bootstrapper
-Standard Termux runs under the Android Bionic libc environment, injecting specific preloads (`LD_PRELOAD=/data/.../libtermux-exec.so`) to intercept calls. However, because our patched binary is built under glibc, loading it directly causes immediate crashes (`invalid ELF header`) when the glibc dynamic linker processes Bionic preloads.
-To circumvent this, we compile a native Bionic C bootstrapper (`bin/agy`):
-* **Dynamic Resolution:** Resolves its own folder at runtime using `/proc/self/exe` via `readlink`, enabling the package to be extracted and executed in *any* directory without wrappers.
-* **Environment Cleansing:** Unsets conflicting environment variables (`LD_PRELOAD`, `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`) before executing the loader.
-* **Redirection:** Configures the native Termux CA bundle (`SSL_CERT_FILE`) and DNS routing (`GODEBUG=netdns=cgo`), then passes execution cleanly to the glibc loader.

+#### 3. PRoot Distro Compatibility (Dynamic Interposer)
+When running inside a non-native Termux environment (e.g., a guest PRoot environment on Android), memory allocation limits can trigger immediate TCMalloc crashes due to the 39-bit VA kernel boundaries.
+To resolve this, a runtime **Memory Interposer** architecture is implemented:
+* **Embedded Interposer**: A dynamic shared library (`libmmap_va39_fix.so`) intercepts `mmap` calls at runtime and redirects memory allocation requests above the 39-bit limit to safe address ranges.
+* **Just-in-Time Unpacking**: To keep the standalone release footprint restricted strictly to the `bin/` directory, the interposer library is embedded as a raw byte array directly inside the `bin/agy` executable. At runtime, the bootstrapper automatically extracts the `.so` to a writable temp directory (`$TMPDIR` -> `/tmp`) and preloads it on the fly.
+* *For more details, see the technical reference at [docs/PROOT_DISTRO_COMPAT.md](docs/PROOT_DISTRO_COMPAT.md).*
+
+#### 4. In-Place Self-Updating
 The C bootstrapper intercepts the `update` subcommand and queries this fork's GitHub Releases API, providing a seamless in-place update mechanism that updates both the patched engine and itself without needing complex wrappers or manually executing curl commands.

+# PRoot Distro and 39-Bit Virtual Address Space Compatibility
+
+## Purpose
+This document explains the runtime interposer and environment-aware bootstrapper architecture implemented to support executing the Antigravity CLI within non-native Termux environments (e.g., guest PRoot/Chroot distributions on Android).
+
+## Problem: 39-Bit Virtual Address Space Limits
+The upstream dynamic binary utilizes Google's `TCMalloc` allocator, which assumes a standard 48-bit Virtual Address (VA) space.
+
+However, many ARM64 Android kernels limit user space to a 39-bit VA space. When TCMalloc makes `mmap` calls specifying a high hint address (e.g., above `2^39`), the call fails on these kernels, triggering an immediate abort:
+```text
+FATAL ERROR: Out of memory trying to allocate internal tcmalloc data
+MmapAligned() failed - unable to allocate with tag (hint=0x2f4c00000000, size=1073741824)
+```
+
+## Solution: Runtime Mmap Interposition
+Because the upstream Go binary is precompiled, system calls made during its execution cannot be modified at source level. The compatibility layer intercepts these calls at the dynamic loading boundary.
+
+### 1. The Interposer (`lib/mmap_va39_fix.c`)
+A minimal shared library intercepts dynamic `mmap` calls at runtime. If a requested hint address exceeds the 39-bit boundary (`1ULL << 39`), the interposer clears the hint (setting it to `NULL`). This redirects the kernel to allocate memory at a valid, lower virtual address, preventing the TCMalloc crash.
+
+### 2. Transient Build-Time Embedding
+To keep the release archive restricted strictly to the `bin/` directory, the interposer is embedded directly inside the bootstrapper rather than being packaged as a separate file in the release archive:
+* **Build-Time**: `build.sh` compiles `lib/mmap_va39_fix.c` to `libmmap_va39_fix.so`, converts the raw binary data into a C byte array header (`lib/mmap_va39_fix_bytes.h`), and compiles it into the `bin/agy` executable.
+* **Git Hygiene**: The generated header and intermediate `.so` are git-ignored to keep the repository history clean.
+
+### 3. Just-In-Time Extraction & Preloading (`lib/agy_helper.c`)
+At runtime, the bootstrapper `bin/agy` executes the following sequence:
+1. **Environment Detection**: Detects if execution is running natively inside Termux or within a guest PRoot/Chroot distribution.
+2. **Dynamic Unpacking**: If running in a guest PRoot/Chroot distribution, the bootstrapper extracts the embedded `.so` bytes from memory to a writable temporary directory (prioritizing `$TMPDIR` before falling back to `/tmp`). Writing is skipped if the file already exists with matching size.
+3. **Preload Injection**: Appends the extracted `.so` path to the glibc loader `--preload` argument and configures relocatable library search paths (e.g., dynamically adding `/lib` and `/usr/lib`) before executing `execv`.
