mr.zeroandClaude Opus 4.8 25b985c7a2 Initial SERMO-BBS: a telnet PC that boots SERMO-DOS
A rubbs-based telnet server that drops every caller into a simulated PC:
it POSTs, boots, loads SERMO-DOS, and lands at a C:\> prompt. Built-in DOS
commands (VER/DATE/TIME/ECHO/MEM/DIR/CLS/HELP/EXIT) behave; anything else
is routed to Sermo::Oracle as a question — the hook for a future LLM.

Built on rubbs' configurable BBS::FakeOS engine; the whole OS lives in
lib/sermo/dos.rb as a FakeOS.define block, so new character-mode OSes are
added as config files, not engine changes.
