Reverse engineered prompt

Build me a lightweight Kubernetes distribution that’s easy to install and run on small machines, edge devices, CI, and development laptops.

I want it to feel like a single simple app to start a cluster, not a huge complicated Kubernetes setup. It should run with low memory use, ship as one binary, and work with sensible secure defaults. Make it support the basics needed for a real cluster, like container runtime, networking, DNS, ingress, load balancing, storage, and metrics, but keep it easy to turn pieces off if I do not need them.

It should also handle the annoying cluster stuff for me, like TLS certificates, server and agent connections, and auto loading manifests from a local folder when they change. If you need to check current Kubernetes or Go docs online while building it, go ahead. Please include install scripts, service files, tests, and clear docs so someone can try it quickly on Linux and ARM too.
