feat(v4.0.0): nodes that talk -- ports, a node born empty, and the fabric
MESH.md step 1, in the engine, which knows nothing of StarForth or of any kernel. - node: V4_PORTS ports (8), a build parameter; "any port" and the port the last such read came from; a read blocks until the neighbour writes, as a write blocks until the neighbour reads; v4_node_born: empty, P at "any port" - exec: a fetch from a port -- @ @b @+ @p, or of an instruction word when P is a port -- waits for a word; a node executes what arrives at a port without advancing P; a blocked node goes on from the slot it stopped at - fabric: the nodes there are and the table of how their ports are wired, both changed while the nodes run; devices on a port; asleep and awake; a step is every unblocked node executing one instruction word, then every write with a reader waiting being handed over - DECOMPOSITION.md section 6: four named ports withdrawn for V4_PORTS numbered ones and wiring as data, as ruled Verified: tests/test_fabric.c, 53 checks at both widths: two nodes exchange words; an empty node is filled through its port by a device, and by another node, and runs what it was sent; a word is passed on by a node in between; a waiting node executes nothing; the wiring is changed while they run; a node is put to sleep, woken and removed while looping; a node is born while others run; the fabric is given more room. make -C v4 test and make -C v4 sanitize pass. The single-node products are unchanged: hosted-check on three ISAs, and clean qemu with STARFORTH_V4=1 on amd64, aarch64 and riscv64 with lines typed at each prompt (logs/20261006-074907, -075150, -075532).
