CrazyRag778/PyBOX — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a small Python fantasy computer called PyBOX that runs in the terminal and feels like a tiny configurable operating system. When I start it, I want a shell prompt like system at PyBOX where I can type commands.

It should have built in commands for help, status, version, clear, rebase, shutdown, and exit. Add a simple app registry so system tools and installed user apps can be discovered and run from the shell. Include core tools named bob, passwd, and man. Bob should install and remove app packages from a packs folder, unpack them into a user apps area, read a manifest, and update the registry. Passwd should change the stored system password. Man should show text manuals for commands.

Use plain Python and the standard library. Store settings and runtime state in JSON files. Please make it sturdy, with friendly errors for missing files, bad JSON, missing apps, bad commands, and keyboard interrupts.
