A minimal, API-only node OS that bootstraps Sheeternetes.
SheetOS is Talos for spreadsheets: a declarative, API-only node OS whose single job is to bootstrap and run Sheeternetes. Nodes are configured by a machineconfig, never by hand; sheetstrap brings a control-plane or worker node up, and the OS is distributable across many sheets that self-assemble into a cluster.
No shell, no hand-edits — everything is a config, like Talos.
sheetstrap gen-config / bootstrap / join.
Many sheets, one cluster. Eventually consistent, honestly so.

| Management | API only (no SSH) | API only (no SSH) |
| Its whole job | Run Sheeternetes | Run Kubernetes |
| Substrate | A spreadsheet | A minimal Linux |
