Captain Bob, 2026-10-14: "v4 is the default build", "no, qemu to v4
too ... we are effectively trying to retire v3", "the 32 bit build needs
to go into the acceptance test too", "i don't care about v3".
- STARFORTH_V4 defaults on (Kconfig default y) and V4_DEFAULT=1
everywhere: every kernel carries v4 and v3 and boots v4; system=v3 boots
v3; STARFORTH_V4=0 builds v3 alone. Board images write system=v4.
- Acceptance (CLAUDE.md): the three ISAs as built (v4, POST passed,
V4_SYSTEM dict_hash equal) and make -C v4 test-32. v3 is not part of
it.
Acceptance run: amd64, aarch64, riscv64 -- PARITY:V4_POST 538/538,
dict_hash=0xe5a57f3eb72ff94a on all three, no unknown word; test-32: 30
suites, 0 failures. The SER5 image under OVMF boots v4 as built, v3 after
the one-word edit. README, BRINGUP, FABRIC-3 XLIII, the register updated.

Captain Bob's rulings, 2026-10-14: "delete" -- the duplicates listed in
DELETE-CANDIDATES.md are removed (the list stays as the record; the
formal tier's provenance comments repointed at the maintained copies) --
and "rewrite" the README: v2.1.0, the Tripod as Hera/Artemis/Hestia,
kernel-Hermes, identities on thumbdrives, the corrected ACL overhead,
1052-test POST and the current parity line, keyboards and storage, board
images carrying both systems and how to switch, and docs/README.md as
the way in. The book is left as it is, to be reworked later.

docs/CLAUDE.md Phase 1 output, after the reorganisation.
- docs/README.md: rewritten as the map -- where each kind of document
lives, which one to believe (CLAUDE.md, FABRIC, v4.0.0, reference/,
BRINGUP, code), how to retire a document.
- docs/INDEX.md: regenerated from the tracked tree, 489 rows, every
document with a status (the 2026-06-16 snapshot was stale).
- docs/DEAD-AND-REVISED.md (new): what was abandoned (L4Re, the hal_*
contract, ACL RWT, the Hermes VM, elevation, the knowledge factor, ...)
and what was corrected (ACL overhead, versions, block rules, parity
baseline, ...), each with its date and record.
- docs/DELETE-CANDIDATES.md: 12 duplicates, awaiting a ruling; nothing
deleted.
- CLAUDE.md: versions corrected (3.2.0 / 2.1.0).
