Standing on Prior Work
Bootscry's planned safety work is informed by kvm-pilot. Its Comet client works with the device's KVMD-derived API; PiKVM publishes the upstream KVMD project.
The current Bootscry evidence covers local OCR, input delivery, and a BIOS catch on one Comet and one target machine. A multi-vendor driver layer and boot-phase detection remain planned.
