- Dictionary lookup index is per VM (vm->fc_index, struct SfFcIndex):
was one global index rebuilt whenever a different VM was searched, and
heat reorganization could reorder another VM's buckets. Allocated on
first lookup, freed by vm_cleanup(); allocation failure counted/logged,
lookup falls back to a newest-first dictionary walk.
- PRNG: still one stream, stepped by compare-and-swap; SEED one store.
- state_variable removed (write-only; STATE is vm->mode).
- Sweep additions (Captain Bob's ruling): heartbeat_export.c delta
last-values moved into each VM's HeartbeatState (were statics shared by
every VM -- wrong across VMs today); TOP-WORDS list heap-sized per call
(was static [1000]); inference_outputs_to_string() takes a caller
buffer; three failure counters atomic; crc64 table published with
release/acquire.
- Confirmed, unchanged: g_runtime compiled out of the kernel,
g_hotwords_cache unreferenced, ttf cache core-0-only.
- Probe (removed): every VM has its own index; two VMs searched
alternately 2x5000 lookups: 0 rebuilds, 0 wrong-VM results, all three
ISAs.
- Standard sequence on amd64/aarch64/riscv64: dict_hash set unchanged,
G byte-identical, MINT/WIREBIND/USE ok, conservation true, 0 idle growth.

- block_subsystem.c (vendored): every public function's body becomes a
static *_locked function; bodies call each other only through the
_locked forms, breaking the internal cycles (relocate, meta relocate,
migration scan, firsttouch, the meta accessors). Thin public wrappers
take g_lock_block under __STARKERNEL__; hosted build has no lock and
still builds clean.
- Lock order: hermes, switch, registry, doe, log, block, console, heap,
vmm, pmm (Stadium, MC-0d, above block).
- Documented, not coverable by this lock: blk_get_buffer() pointers are
used after release -- block-buffer ownership across cores is open for
MC-3.
- Probe (removed): block lock balances on all three ISAs (2,057-2,379
acquisitions), 0 recursions, 0 held at switch; vblk_io timeouts
(0/0/4 probe, 0/0/2 acceptance) within the pre-lock riscv64 baseline
of 0-6.
- Standard sequence on amd64/aarch64/riscv64: hashes and G byte-identical
to MC-0b, MINT/WIREBIND/USE ok, conservation true, 0 idle growth.
- FABRIC-3.10.8 §3.2 wording fix; lock order noted as checked by
inspection only.

- New spinlock primitive (spinlock.h/.c): CAS on an owner word (core+1),
interrupts masked while any lock is held (state kept in the per-core
block, so release order doesn't matter). Recursion, release-not-held,
held-at-switch and destroyed-while-held are counted and logged, never
silent. Locks are no-ops until the boot core's block is installed
(riscv64's monolithic early boot prints before sk_percpu_boot_init()).
- Kernel locks in a documented order: hermes, switch, registry, doe, log,
console, heap, vmm, pmm. sf_mutex (dict_lock/tuning_lock) uses the same
lock word.
- Hermes: public functions over *_locked internals; never held across the
drain's vm_interpret_kind(); switch notifications after dropping the
lock; event payload moved off static storage. Switch table and registry
never call out while held (slot/entry copied under the lock).
- No lock crosses a switch: checked at context switch (leave, resume) and
the idle point.
- Probe (removed): every lock balances on all three ISAs; 0 held at
switch over 7.5M-51M checks; 0 recursions, 0 bad releases.
- Standard sequence on amd64/aarch64/riscv64: hashes and G byte-identical
to MC-0a, MINT/WIREBIND/USE ok, conservation true, 0 idle growth.
- Block subsystem split out as MC-0b2 (Captain Bob's ruling).

- New sk_percpu_t { self, core_id, current_vm }, reached via GS base
(amd64, %gs:0), TPIDR_EL1 (aarch64), tp (riscv64). Boot core's block is
one static object installed right after arch_early_init(); secondary
cores' blocks come with MC-1.
- switch.c's global g_switch_current_vm is gone; current VM is
sk_percpu()->current_vm, re-read after resume in the context switch.
- Probe (removed): normal path and every heartbeat ISR found core 0's
block on all three ISAs (ISR ok 889/1877/1625, bad 0).
- Standard sequence on amd64/aarch64/riscv64: hashes unchanged from O-C,
G A=40 B=40, MINT/WIREBIND/USE ok, conservation true, 0 idle growth.

- logs/20260925-112529/amd64/: O-D amd64 launch (12345 3 S" amd64" DOE,
rows on), stopped via QMP after 81 min / 131,537 rows with no trial
complete, so the row path could be fixed (row path A ruled).
- FABRIC-3.10.8: Captain Bob, 2026-09-25: "until we close everything, do
not do ant DoE eecution." MC-4's campaigns wait; stage evidence is the
standard sequence plus probes.

- Captain Bob, 2026-09-25: "pin observr and dynmically utilize worker VM's";
MC-R1..R5 as proposed; MC-R6 changed to start now; O-D relaunches with
row path A (serial-only DoE rows). The amd64 O-D launch was stopped after
81 min / 131,537 rows for this.
- FABRIC-3.10.8: the traced inventory of shared state (kernel subsystems
and the shared VM code -- notably one global dictionary lookup index for
all VMs), and stages MC-0a..MC-4 with evidence named in advance.
