Clean-room rewrite of a 22-tool subset of GNU coreutils targeting System 7 through Mac OS 9, cross-compiled with Retro68 (68K and PowerPC). Utilities are written against a small compat layer (gucompat.h) with two backends: the HFS File Manager / Toolbox for classic Mac OS, and POSIX for host-side development and CI. Mac-native behavior: HFS colon paths, CR/LF/CRLF-aware text handling, resource fork + Finder info preservation in cp/mv, invisible files in ls -a, type/creator codes and fork sizes in ls -l, Gestalt-based uname, and an argument prompt since classic Mac OS has no shell. Includes a host Makefile with a 55-check test suite and a GitHub Actions workflow that builds and tests the host target.
