Robert Allan JamesandClaude Opus 5.5 ff8e505308 FABRIC-3.10.8 K-9: remove a dead VM's physics node at KILL and reap
vm_physics_remove() retires the node (heat to the root) and frees it;
capsule_vm_kill() and capsule_vm_force_reap() call it, so WIREBIND/EJECT
kills and reaps now retire too (before, only the KILL word did). A dead
VM now leaves only its registry node (168 B). 3-ISA acceptance clean.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Opus 5.5 f152a91099 Stage H: DoE rebuilt on BIRTH/SEND/KILL, defs-only workloads; work heat floor on contact (FABRIC-3.8 §3.9, §3.13.7)
Workload capsules the DoE births are definitions only; each defines WL-RUN
(its old birth-time work plus its entry word twice) and WL-DONE-ARGS. The
driver births N workers, SENDs each 'WL-RUN WL-DONE-ARGS SEND', waits in an
ordinary loop for N MU-DONE messages, KILLs them (parked idle), and emits
the marker. The serialized VM-EXEC round-robin is gone.

Kernel: no switch checkpoint after a payload's last word; work heat is the
assessed per-beat charge, and a VM gaining work is raised to the busy set's
floor (Captain Bob's ruling) -- fixes a live stall where a busy-waiting Hera
never yielded, without serializing batch starts.

Evidence: cfg-4 rows spread evenly over Hera and all 8 worker slots (44k
switches); full cfg-4 trials on amd64/aarch64/riscv64 end fail=0 with 8/8
KILL dead; Stage G interleave byte-identical on all three. Acceptance:
dict_hash unchanged, relay 3, idle growth 0.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Opus 5.5 81def7b4a5 Stage G: SEND, and two workers interleave; decision compares work heat (FABRIC-3.8 §3.8, §3.13.7)
SEND ( paddr plen name-c name-u -- ok? ): general kernel-Hermes send to a
named VM, from = calling VM, one block max (refused, not truncated), every
VM. New SK_HERMES_MSG_TYPE_SEND (30).

Ruling C-4 (beta), Captain Bob: the switch decision compares work heat --
the heat each VM pulled in by its own per-beat charges -- not absolute
heat, so Hera's structural endowment no longer makes her hottest. Before
it, the two-worker test ran serial (AAAA...BBBB); after it, byte-identical
on amd64/aarch64/riscv64:
AAABBBBBBBBAAAAAAAABBBBBAAAAABBBBBAAAAABBBBBAAAAABBBBBAAAAABBBBBAAAAABBBBBAAAABB
(40 A, 40 B, 16 runs; ordinary words only, nothing yields). Acceptance:
relay 3, idle growth 0; dict_hash set changed by the new word
(word_count 533) and identical across ISAs.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Opus 5.5 7c3736841d Stage C-a: work law — running VM charged at each of its own beats, with carry (FABRIC-3.8 §3.13.2)
vm_physics_charge(): per-beat slope into a per-VM carry, whole units pulled
from the rest of the live fleet in proportion to heat (conservative
vm_physics_transfer), rounding shortfall kept in the carry, no fleet_window
sample. Called from vm_tick() only for the switch-current VM. Closes G9:
a VM running its own mail on its own stack now heats up while it works.

Probe (reverted): baseline Hestia heat 0->0->0 over 71 beats (FAIL, proves
G9); with charge 0->11->23 at beats 15->51->86, identical on amd64/aarch64/
riscv64, conserved, PASS. Acceptance: dict_hash unchanged, WIREBIND relay 3.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 b031b802e3 Rename FABRIC series: FABRIC.md->0, FABRIC-2.md->1, FABRIC-3.md->2, FABRIC-4.md unchanged
FABRIC.md -> FABRIC-0.md
FABRIC-2.md -> FABRIC-1.md
FABRIC-3.md -> FABRIC-2.md (the current/living document)
FABRIC-4.md unchanged (new #3 to follow separately)

Every cross-reference repo-wide updated to match, including doc-comment
citations inside kernel source (.c/.h) files -- done via an ordered
placeholder substitution (FABRIC-3.md->placeholder2, FABRIC-2.md->
placeholder1, FABRIC.md->placeholder0, then placeholders resolved to
final names) in a single pass per file to avoid double-shifting
already-renamed references.

One line in capsules/font.4th grew past the 64-char block-format limit
as a side effect of the longer filename; shortened it and reverified
with mkcapsule --lint (34/34 pass) before rebuilding.

Verified 3-arch boot to ok> (amd64/aarch64/riscv64, each in the
foreground) after the fix; logs and DoE CSVs from this session's
verification runs included per this repo's own audit-artifact
convention.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 9b305a5be7 starkernel: item 3.8 -- VM identifiers as UUID/GUID
Punch list §25 item 3.8 complete. Added after starting item 4.1
surfaced the need to thread a vm_id into stadium_admit()'s new quota
parameter; Captain Bob ruled UUID/GUID rather than keeping the
narrower uint32_t.

New VMUuid type (vm_uuid.h/vm_uuid.c): two uint64_t halves, RFC-4122-
shaped for logging. Not real randomness -- checked directly against
QEMU 10.2.1's actual CPU feature set: amd64 RDRAND and riscv64 Zkr are
both real, available features here; aarch64 has no RNG property on any
CPU model including "max" (verified exhaustively via QMP
query-cpu-model-expansion). Captain Bob ruled a uniform fallback
across all three ISAs rather than a per-architecture split.

Fallback is a deterministic PRNG (splitmix64) seeded from the Mama
capsule's content hash, pre-filling a 16-entry FIFO pool at boot and
refilling with another batch of the same stream when exhausted --
exactly the shape requested. Same capsule booted twice produces the
same id sequence, preserving the dict_hash reproducibility this
session has relied on throughout.

Hera keeps a fixed, reserved all-zero id, not drawn from the pool --
capsule_birth.c uses vm_id == 0 as a load-bearing sentinel in three
places (KILL protection x2, fleet heat-fanout parent-chain
terminator), found by reading before writing any code.

Two real sentinel-collision bugs caught before shipping, same class as
STADIUM_CONTAINS_NONE: vm_uuid_none() (all-ones, not all-zero) for
"not yet assigned"/"no VM" placeholders; confirmed item 3.7's quota
table already used an in_use boolean rather than a vm_id sentinel, so
no second collision was actually possible there -- the dead,
never-referenced STADIUM_QUOTA_SLOT_EMPTY macro was removed.

Blast radius larger than first scoped, flagged mid-work rather than
silently absorbed: capsule_vm_physics.c/.h (the fleet heat-transfer
layer item 2.1 modified earlier this session) has its own vm_id-keyed
node table and walks parent_vm_id chains through the same identity
space, so it needed the same change, plus its callers in
mama_forth_words.c and sk_vm_bootstrap.c.

One live FORTH word contract changed, by explicit ruling: CAPSULE-BIRTH
was ( capsule-id -- vm-id ), a single cell -- can't hold 128 bits.
Captain Bob picked pushing two cells ("there is doubles support in the
FORTH std word set anyway"): ( capsule-id -- vm-id-hi vm-id-lo ).
MAMA-VM-ID changed the same way: ( -- 0 0 ).

Verified: full (not standalone-file) kernel rebuild to catch cross-file
breakage given the size of this change -- it surfaced the
capsule_vm_physics.c blast radius a narrower check would have missed.
Three-architecture boot (amd64, aarch64, riscv64), all reaching ok>
with identical dict_hash=0x3d4e1daf289da94f matching the item-3.7
baseline.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 542d7dbf0d starkernel: restate VM fleet heat transfer on the virtual tick
Punch list §25 item 2.1 complete.
vm_physics_touch() no longer takes a wall-clock timestamp -- it reads
fleet_heartbeat_tick_count internally, which is execution-paced
(vm_runtime.c:143), not wall-clock. VMPhysics.last_active_ns ->
last_active_tick, VMFleetTouchSample.elapsed_us -> elapsed_ticks, and a
new explicit `touched` flag replaces the old `> 0` sentinel (tick 0 is
a legitimate value a first touch can land on, unlike wall-clock ns).

Verified: three-architecture boot (amd64 x2, aarch64, riscv64), all
reaching ok> with identical dict_hash=0x3d4e1daf289da94f matching the
item-0.10 baseline. No new compiler warnings in the touched files.

Honestly flagged, not fixed: with Tripod pruned to Hera alone (item
0.1), vm_physics_touch()'s fan-out has no other live VM to pull heat
from, so the fleet-heat-sum acceptance criterion is trivially satisfied
rather than genuinely stress-tested -- a real check needs Phase 4's
multi-VM fleet. fleet_transfer_slope_q48's seed (65536/3) was
calibrated for elapsed microseconds and has not been re-fit for elapsed
ticks; left as-is rather than guessed, deferred to item 5.1's DoE work.
