+# Core2Module
+
+A replacement for CoreModule with as few external relative requires as possible.
+This will eventually be the successor to CoreModule, the main module for Puter's backend.
+
+## Services
+
+### AlarmService
+
+AlarmService class is responsible for managing alarms.
+It provides methods for creating, clearing, and handling alarms.
+
+#### Listeners
+
+##### `boot.consolidation`
+
+AlarmService registers its commands at the consolidation phase because
+the '_init' method of CommandService may not have been called yet.
+
+#### Methods
+
+##### `create`
+
+Method to create an alarm with the given ID, message, and fields.
+If the ID already exists, it will be updated with the new fields
+and the occurrence count will be incremented.
+
+###### Parameters
+
+- **id:** Unique identifier for the alarm.
+- **message:** Message associated with the alarm.

+Method to clear an alarm with the given ID.
+
+###### Parameters
+
+- **id:** The ID of the alarm to clear.
+
+##### `get_alarm`
+
+Method to get an alarm by its ID.
+
+###### Parameters
+
+- **id:** The ID of the alarm to get.
+
+### LogService
+
+The `LogService` class extends `BaseService` and is responsible for managing and 
+orchestrating various logging functionalities within the application. It handles 
+log initialization, middleware registration, log directory management, and 
+provides methods for creating log contexts and managing log output levels.
+
+#### Listeners
+
+##### `boot.consolidation`
+
+Registers logging commands with the command service.
+
+#### Methods
+
+##### `register_log_middleware`
+
+Registers a custom logging middleware with the LogService.
+
+###### Parameters
+
+- **callback:** The callback function that modifies log parameters before delegation.
+
+##### `create`
+
+Create a new log context with the specified prefix
+
+###### Parameters
+
+- **prefix:** The prefix for the log context
+- **fields:** Optional fields to include in the log context
+
+##### `get_log_file`
+
+Generates a sanitized file path for log files.

+###### Parameters
+
+- **name:** The name of the log file, which will be sanitized to remove any path characters.
+
+##### `get_log_buffer`
+
+Get the most recent log entries from the buffer maintained by the LogService.
+By default, the buffer contains the last 20 log entries.
+
+## Libraries
+
+### core.util.identutil
+
+#### Functions
+
+##### `randomItem`
+
+Select a random item from an array using a random number generator function.
+
+###### Parameters

+##### `stringify_log_entry`
+
+Stringifies a log entry into a formatted string for console output.
+
+###### Parameters
+
+- **logEntry:** The log entry object containing:
+
+### stdio
+
+#### Functions
+
+##### `visible_length`
+
+METADATA // {"ai-commented":{"service":"claude"}}
+
+##### `split_lines`
+
+Split a string into lines according to the terminal width,
+preserving ANSI escape sequences, and return an array of lines.
+
+###### Parameters
+
+- **str:** The string to split into lines
+
+### core.util.strutil
+
+#### Functions
+
+##### `quot`
+
+METADATA // {"def":"core.util.strutil","ai-params":{"service":"claude"},"ai-commented":{"service":"claude"}}
+
+##### `osclink`
+
+Creates an OSC 8 hyperlink sequence for terminal output
+
+###### Parameters
+
+- **url:** The URL to link to
