-Hakurei is a tool for running sandboxed graphical applications as dedicated subordinate users on the Linux kernel.
-It implements the application container of [planterette (WIP)](https://git.gensokyo.uk/security/planterette),
-a self-contained Android-like package manager with modern security features.
+Hakurei is a tool for running sandboxed desktop applications as dedicated
+subordinate users on the Linux kernel. It implements the application container
+of [planterette (WIP)](https://git.gensokyo.uk/security/planterette), a
+self-contained Android-like package manager with modern security features.
 
-## NixOS Module usage
+Interaction with hakurei happens entirely through structures described by
+package [hst](https://pkg.go.dev/hakurei.app/hst). No native API is available
+due to internal details of uid isolation.
 
-The NixOS module currently requires home-manager to configure subordinate users. Full module documentation can be found [here](options.md).
+## Notable Packages
 
-To use the module, import it into your configuration with
+Package [container](https://pkg.go.dev/hakurei.app/container) is general purpose
+container tooling. It is used by the hakurei shim process running as the target
+subordinate user to set up the application container. It has a single dependency,
+[libseccomp](https://github.com/seccomp/libseccomp), to create BPF programs
+for the [system call filter](https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/userspace-api/seccomp_filter.html).

+Package [internal/pkg](https://pkg.go.dev/hakurei.app/internal/pkg) provides
+infrastructure for hermetic builds. This replaces the legacy nix-based testing
+framework and serves as the build system of Rosa OS, currently developed under
