## Pipeline
-1. Rust parses `profiles/alt-controller.profile`.
+1. Rust parses the typed TOML image definition at `profiles/alt-controller.toml`.
2. The profile uses vendored package lists under `profiles/package-lists/`.
3. Rust initializes an isolated Hasher work root with `hsh --initroot-only`.
4. Rust installs the resolved package set with `hsh-install`.
-5. Rust invokes `sudo tar` to archive `work/alt-controller/chroot` to `out/alt-controller-rootfs.tar`, excluding Hasher's `.host` helper directory. Root is needed only to read root-owned/setuid paths produced inside the isolated Hasher root.
+5. Rust finalizes the rootfs and invokes its native deterministic tar writer to archive it, excluding Hasher's internal `.host` and `.fakedata` directories. The archive records normalized numeric ownership and timestamps; ACLs and xattrs are not represented by the portable initial format.
Hasher is intentionally the only external build dependency in this slice. It supplies ALT package resolution and isolation; the image/profile orchestration belongs to this project.
