The fact that the “default" command fails even though “list” shows that user
tells me you have a fairly serious problem, like a corrupted repository, or
bogus whitespace in the user name.
You could try saying “fossil ui” and seeing if you can fix it from the Admin
page.
If you’re feeling brave, “fossil sqlite” will open your repository in the
SQLite shell. Then the output of “select * from user;” may be enlightening.

Interesting. I was only looking at the “fossil help commit” output, but this
option is handled way up in Fossil’s main() function. It works for all Fossil
commands.
I wonder if “fossil help” should list these global flags.

…or FOSSIL_USER, or USERNAME, or LOGNAME, as I said. That list comes straight
out of the code.

I assume C20131_IR_At7_OpSystem_ProjectFile.fossil is the name of your actual
repository file, the one you called “fossil open” on? If so, then your “add”
command added the Fossil DB to the Fossil DB, which is why it shows up in “ls”
output now.
Come to think about it, I wonder if this corrupted your database somehow. On
an OS without mandatory locking, Fossil will be trying to copy data from that
file while it is also trying to change it, possibly causing damage.

$ f help ci
f commit ?OPTIONS? ?FILE…?

That is, you do not name the repository file (i.e. *.fossil) *at all*. You
only tell it which previously “add”ed file you wish to commit, or leave the
file name off to commit all uncommitted changes.
Have you read the Schimpf book?
