docs(v4.0.0): step 6d as mended after its review; the boots on that code

MESH.md 4.1, 7a, 7c.2, 7c.3, 7c.4 and step 6d say what the code now does,
what the review found and how each was mended, and what is small and not
mended.  The README no longer says the aim is unmet; it says the mended
code has not been reviewed again.

Three bare-metal boots on 2cf37aab, typing 29 values on a line: POST 538
of 538, word_count=317, dict_hash=0xd41a6ac9448fff60 on all six.

it, it is let go and counted. So a node that did text for a sender that then stuck
is not held by it, and `KILL` is not held by one stuck node from telling
the next.
- *Order.* How text ended is put before the other messages waiting, and a
node does not begin another text from a sender while its answer to that
sender is still with it: what one sender is told comes in the order its
texts were done.
- *Order.* A node's own messages keep the order they were made in. A node
does not begin another text from a sender while what it owes that
sender from an earlier one -- what that text printed, how it ended -- is
still with it: so what one sender is told comes in the order its texts
were done. A GONE it is sending holds nothing back. It can note eight
senders so; past that, nothing more is held.

written, when a message is passed on or a NACK paid, through the wait
for an offer only. If the reader has been removed the rest is let go
and counted; no error is raised, for an error there would leave the
messages waiting in pieces. For the same reason a text may leave no
more than 28 values on the stack: one that leaves more ends "Stack
overflow". And a message half taken in when its writer is removed is
let go, not kept.

finding is mended, the rest are open and the claims of 7b and 7c that
"a stuck node holds up no other" are not yet true in the cases below.
- *Mended.* A line that left 29 values on the stack hung the node for
ever, on the products too: the passes over the messages waiting
that now follow every text need four cells, and a stack fault in
the middle of one left the messages in pieces. Such a text now
ends "Stack overflow", as it did before step 6d
(`test_host_quit.c`; `hosted-check`). The boots above were made
before this and do not show it.
- *Open: a node removed while a message is being passed on to it*
leaves the node passing it on going round for ever: the error
comes in the middle of writing the message out of the messages
waiting, and leaves them in pieces.
- *Open: offers left standing.* When a node lets a message go and
then begins text without having slept, what it had offered is
still offered, and the text's own message can go to the wrong
port. The review saw text meant for one node done by another.
- *Open: what a finished text printed* is still begun as a message
from text is, and if the way to the console is through a stuck
node the node is held and cannot be typed to.
- *Open: with more than eight messages of its own waiting* (answers,
or the GONEs of `KILL`) a node begins no text at all; on Hera that
cannot be undone from the console.
- *Open, smaller:* an error while a refusal is being written leaves
a value on the stack; with no room at all, how text ended is
begun as a message and can be held by a stuck sender; a line that
was itself refused for want of room can still end a waiting text
"Interrupted"; a message a node makes itself may be passed on by
15 nodes, not 16; the flood's figures in 7a are stale (278 arrive
now) and `(LOST)` counts some messages more than once.
- **The review (2026-10-08) found the step not sound as built**, and
Captain Bob ruled the mends (A, B, C, D and the guard: 7c.2, 7c.3).
Each has a scene in `test_host_mesh.c`, on a row of three begun
again, that failed first:
- *A line that left 29 values on the stack hung the node for ever*,
on the products too. It ends "Stack overflow"
(`test_host_quit.c`, `hosted-check`, and typed in the boots).
- *A node removed while a message was being passed on to it* left the
node passing it on going round for ever. The rest is let go.
- *Offers left standing:* text meant for one node was done by
another. A store to the wait withdraws them.
- *What a finished text printed* held the whole node when the way to
the console was through a stuck node. It is queued.
- *More than eight of a node's own messages waiting* locked out all
text, Hera's `KILL` included. Only what a sender is owed holds that
sender's text back.
- *A message half taken in when its writer was removed* was kept as
if whole. It is let go.
- Smaller: no value is left on the stack when a port goes in
mid-refusal; a refused line no longer ends a waiting text
"Interrupted"; a node's own messages may be passed on by 16 nodes.
- *Not mended, small:* with no console told of, a second text from
whoever sent the one being done interrupts it, as since step 6c;
refusals to one node go newest first; `(LOST)` counts some messages
more than once, so the flood's check is "it comes to rest", not an
exact count; the ring of three is tested in the engine only; the
five-node test is not run at 32 bits.
- *Verified, on the code as mended.* `test_fabric.c` 112 checks,
`test_host_mesh.c` 154, `test_host_unit.c` 84. `make -C v4 test` and
`sanitize` at both widths, `hosted-check`, lint; three bare-metal

**The wait** (`MESH.md` 7c, step 6d). A node does not write the first word
of a message: it offers it, and sleeps until it is taken or a word comes
for it. What a node has to pass on, the answers it has to give and the
refusals it owes all wait with it, offered, and go when they can. The aim
is that a node that is stuck holds up no other. **It is not yet met in
every case:** the review of step 6d found several where a node is still

this unsound as first built; what it found is mended and listed under
step 6d in `MESH.md` section 10, and has not been reviewed again.
**Blocks** (`MESH.md` step 6). The block words are the kernel's, as they
are for a v3 VM: `BLOCK`, `BUFFER`, `UPDATE`, `SAVE-BUFFERS` and
