What is on a storage port (v4/system/storage.c): it takes Block read,
Block write and Block data and answers Block data or Block done. It
holds a view of a common chain, a private chain, or both; private block k
is number 2^32 - 1 - k. Behind it is v3's block subsystem, reached
through v4/system/store_v3.c, the one v4 file that includes v3's headers.
v3's block code links here with its two device back ends, its log and
its clock, and nothing else of v3.
v4/tests/test_store.c: 36 checks at 64 bits, 35 at 32, and under the
sanitizers. docs/v4.0.0/MESH.md 8.3, 8.4.

MESH.md step 5, in the fabric under test; the products are still one
node each until steps 8 and 9.
manage.c: what Hera asks of whoever holds the fabric, eleven requests by
KERNEL-WORD -- NODE-ME -BORN -WIRE -UNWIRE -SLEEP -WAKE -KILL -PARITY and
CAPSULE-OPEN -CELL -LINE. Nucleus: PORT!, SEND-ON, AWAIT, (SEAL).
capsules/v4/hera.4th: BIRTH and UNIT, the unit rule in FORTH and nowhere
else. The dictionary hash moves to the engine (v4_image_dict_hash).
test_host_unit.c, 34 checks, 64-bit: Hera is born empty, takes the
nucleus through her port, FORTH-79, POST and her capsule; 10 UNIT; four
nodes are born, each takes the nucleus and FORTH-79 through its port from
Hera and passes POST 538/538; four parities, one dictionary hash; they
talk, and a message between two corners not wired goes by Hera.
All v4 tests at both widths and under ASan+UBSan. hosted-check on three
ISAs. Bare metal: logs/20261006-143934 (amd64), -144204 (aarch64),
-144601 (riscv64).
Open, recorded in MESH.md: not run at 32 bits; a node that never answers
leaves Hera waiting; the capsules are read from files in the test, not
from the baked directory.

MESH.md step 4, the fault found there, as ruled (section 7a): a node
writes only to a neighbour that is reading, keeps what it takes in
meanwhile, and loses and counts what it has no room for.
Engine: two more addresses after a node's ports -- which ports have a
neighbour waiting to write to it, which to read from it. Nucleus: (GATE)
before every message; the messages waiting, a ring of 400 cells, dealt
with when the node is idle. Of two neighbours the lower number may wait
to write (ruled after it was built); NEIGHBOUR tells a node who is on
each port.
test_host_mesh.c, 44 checks: the case that stopped the nodes passes; six
messages from each node to each at once all arrive; 800 at once, the
nodes come to rest and every message arrived or was counted (287 arrived,
714 of all kinds let go). test_fabric.c: the two looks. Both widths,
ASan+UBSan.
POST: twelve cases handed HERE, a cell address on v4, to words that take
a byte address, and so wrote into or read from the nucleus's code at cell
HERE/4. Ruled: left out, marked OPEN, until HERE and the byte words are
made to agree as its own step. POST is 538 cases.
hosted-check on three ISAs, 538/538. Bare metal: logs/20261006-134817

MESH.md step 3. The ports are the transport; the message is what is
transported: to, from, type, heat and TTL, ACL tag, sequence, length, then
text four characters to a word.
- quit.v4: a node with nothing to do is blocked reading "any port"; text
for it is interpreted; (FINISH) sends what it printed and then how the
text ended, and it waits again
- core.v4: EMIT keeps what is printed, (FLUSH-OUT) and (HDR) send it to the
sender on the port the message came on. EMIT still needs one free data
cell and no more; it works on the return stack and in A and B
- message.h/.c: the same format for whatever is on a port and is not a node
- boot.c: the boot is the node's console on port 1 and its kernel on port 0
- the prompt tests are a console that speaks messages
- gone: v4_line_begin, v4_line_done, v4_line_status; writing a node's input
buffer and setting its P from outside; any use of CONSOLE-TX
Verified: make -C v4 test (test_host_quit.c 1283 checks, the full-stack
figures unchanged) and make -C v4 sanitize pass; hosted-check passes on
three ISAs with POST 550 of 550; clean qemu with STARFORTH_V4=1 passes POST
and answers lines typed at each prompt on amd64, aarch64 and riscv64
(logs/20261006-110551, -111621, -111341). -110837 is an aarch64 run ended
by the test wrapper's limit while still in UEFI firmware; it shows nothing
about v4.
Not done: KEY, EXPECT and QUERY still read the console's input registers;
a message not for this node is let go (step 4).

MESH.md step 2. A capsule of F18 code is the words a neighbour writes to a
node's port: for each stretch of memory, "@p a! @p push", the address and
count, "@p !+ unext" and the words; then a jump to the start. A node born
empty executes that from its port, so it needs nothing in it beforehand.
- capsule.h/.c: v4_capsule_write, any node's memory as such a capsule
- mkimage writes the nucleus so, to capsules/v4/nucleus-64.f18, and the
addresses a host needs as a C file; the memory image is no longer linked
into either product
- mkcapsule is unchanged: the nucleus capsule is a built file kept under
capsules/, as BLOCK_MAP.md is, and is baked, hashed and signed with the
rest
- boot: the node is born empty (v4_image_born); the nucleus capsule is
found, its hash and signature checked, and given to the node a word at a
time as it reads its port; PARITY:V4_NUCLEUS carries its name and hash
Verified: test_fabric.c (59 checks, both widths, and under ASan and UBSan):
a memory with a programme and scattered words arrives word for word in an
empty node and runs. The nucleus capsule rebuilds byte for byte.
hosted-check passes on three ISAs; clean qemu with STARFORTH_V4=1 on amd64,
aarch64 and riscv64 takes the nucleus in, passes POST (550 of 550) and
answers lines typed at each prompt (logs/20261006-102421, -102706,
-103048).

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).

ENGINE.md 3b, the node's side of ruling A (a word's code is the node's, its
accounts the kernel's).
- dict.v4, system.v4: (WORD-DEFINED) ( xt -- ) is run when an entry is
made, (WORD-FORGOTTEN) ( w -- ) when FORGET or COLD removes entries; with
0 there no one is told, as on the hosted product
- test_host_quit.c: a kernel that keeps the list of words and is checked to
hold exactly the node's dictionary after definitions, a vocabulary, an
abandoned definition, FORGET, a refused FORGET and COLD; KERNEL-WORD
called from the prompt and from a definition
Fixed, found while writing that test: since the capsules moved from build
time to boot time (294e6946), what COLD returns to and FORGET protects was
still the nucleus alone, so COLD lost U*, U/MOD and BYE and FORGET U* was
allowed. The boot now seals the system when it has loaded it
(v4_image_seal), and hosted-check checks COLD, the capsule word after it,
the refused FORGET and BYE.
Verified: make -C v4 test passes at both widths (1283 checks in
test_host_quit.c); hosted-check passes on three ISAs; clean qemu with
STARFORTH_V4=1 on amd64, aarch64 and riscv64 passes POST, and COLD, U*
after it, FORGET U* (refused), an unserved kernel word and BYE typed at
each prompt are answered correctly (logs/20261005-193045, -193307, -193636).

ENGINE.md step 2, the carrier. Ruled 2026-10-05 (V3-PARITY.md 1i), on
DECOMPOSITION.md section 6: a write to a port blocks until the neighbour
reads.
- node: v4_node_port_attach, v4_node_port_served; a store to the port keeps
the value as the request and blocks the node
- exec: a blocked node executes nothing; served, it goes on from the opcode
after the store, in the same instruction word; a fault meanwhile abandons
the rest of the word
- compile.v4: n KERNEL-WORD name makes a word whose body writes n to the
port; its arguments and results are on the data stack
- boot: the kernel's words are made by handing the node text, and requests
are served between the node's opcodes; one no one serves is error 12
- BYE, the first kernel word: hosted it leaves the program, as hosted v3;
on the lone node it is v3's cold restart
- ENGINE.md 3a: multiuser, multitasking, preemptive and cooperative, and
what that asks of the engine
Verified: make -C v4 test passes at both widths, with tests/test_port.c;
hosted-check passes on three ISAs; clean qemu with STARFORTH_V4=1 on amd64,
aarch64 and riscv64 passes POST with the same hashes as hosted, and a
kernel word no one serves and BYE typed at each prompt are answered
(logs/20261005-185506, -185734, -190101; -185234 is an amd64 run in which
those two lines were not typed).
Not done: v3's own C functions serving a node.

A v4 node no longer reads its own command line or prints a prompt. Its
host puts a line of text in the node's input buffer and starts it at
(LINE); the node interprets it and stops at (IDLE), leaving in
(LINE-STATUS) how it ended: completed, an error, or QUIT. The host says
" ok" or " ERROR" and prompts, as the kernel's REPL does for a v3 VM. A
line may be 1024 characters, a block, as v3's. Ruled 2026-10-05
(V3-PARITY.md 1b); design ENGINE.md 3.1.
- quit.v4: (REPL), the node's prompt loop, is gone; (LINE) (IDLE) (DONE)
- image.h/.c: v4_line_begin, v4_line_done, v4_line_status; the node is
idle at switch-on
- boot.c: v4_boot_line, the one loop the hosted binary, the kernel and the
capsule loader hand a line with; the code that took " ok" and the prompt
back out of the node's output is gone
- hosted.c, sk_v4.c: the prompt and the line editing are the host's
- test_host_quit.c: the tests are the node's host; two tests of the old
80-character prompt line now test a whole line, 1024 and 1025 characters
Verified: make -C v4 test passes at both widths; hosted-check passes on
three ISAs; clean qemu with STARFORTH_V4=1 on amd64, aarch64 and riscv64
passes POST (550 of 550) with the same hashes as hosted, and three lines
typed at each bare-metal prompt through the serial port are answered
correctly (logs/20261005-180922, -181152, -181541).
Still the lone node: kernel_main.c starts it before the fleet tables.

capsules/v4/post79.4th: 537 of v3's POST cases for the FORTH-79 Required
Word Set, each carrying what the hosted v3 binary did with the same line
(error or not, the stack, the length and checksum of what it printed).
Written by v4/tools/mkpost.py. The harness is FORTH-79 plus the two
nucleus hooks. docs/v4.0.0/NUCLEUS.md section 6.
- NODE-ERROR has a FORTH name: how a definition in FORTH raises an error
- the boot passes POST only on seeing its tally line with fail=0
- POST is not in the boot yet (V4_POST_AT_BOOT=0); make -C v4 post runs it
Result: tests=537 pass=439 fail=98. The 98 are not yet sorted into v4
defects and differences needing a ruling; v4/README.md has a first reading.
Verified: make -C v4 test passes; hosted-check passes on three ISAs; clean
qemu with STARFORTH_V4=1 on amd64, aarch64 and riscv64 reaches ok> with the
same hashes as hosted (logs/20261005-1601xx..1604xx). Nothing was typed at
a bare-metal prompt.

One boot, v4/system/boot.c, for both products: it starts the nucleus image,
finds each capsule in the baked capsule directory, recomputes its hash,
checks its signature, gives its blocks to the node a line at a time, and
prints PARITY:V4_NUCLEUS, PARITY:V4_CAPSULE and PARITY:OK before the prompt.
A line the node does not accept ends the boot with the capsule, block and
line named. docs/v4.0.0/NUCLEUS.md.
- hosted Linux product for amd64, aarch64 and riscv64 (make -C v4 hosted);
make -C v4 hosted-check boots all three and requires identical output
- the kernel's v4 entry (STARFORTH_V4=1) calls the same boot
- capsules/v4/forth79.4th, block 6000: no definitions yet
- mkimage builds the nucleus only; no FORTH source is compiled at build time
- capsule_blocks.c: the Block-header parse, free of any VM, for every loader
Verified: make -C v4 test passes; hosted-check passes on the three ISAs with
the same hashes; the kernel compiles with STARFORTH_V4=1 on the three.
Not verified: no bare-metal boot of v4 has been run.

- The golden model's host node gets a block storage device: four
memory-mapped registers (number, address, command, status), 1024-byte
blocks as 256 cells. tests/test_node.c.
- capsule/blocks.v4: BLOCK BUFFER UPDATE SAVE-BUFFERS EMPTY-BUFFERS LIST
LOAD SCR BLK (FORTH-79) and v3's FLUSH THRU and -->, over two buffers.
- The text being interpreted is at the address in (SRC), which QUERY makes
the terminal's buffer and LOAD a block's; LOAD saves and restores it, so
blocks nest and the rest of LOAD's line runs afterwards. WORD makes
sure a loading block is still in a buffer before it reads.
- In a block, \ skips to the next 64-character line.
- A block number that does not exist, and --> at the terminal, are errors
with messages (D-18).
- tests/test_host_quit.c: ten transcripts of the v3 binary; nesting three
deep on two buffers; what reaches the device and when.
v3's LOAD drops the rest of its line, and v3 has no BLK.

Ruled 2026-10-04: guard all errors. The errors that set NODE-ERROR and
let the line run on now stop it at once, with a message.
- A store of a non-zero code to NODE-ERROR is a trap, a sixth kind of
fault: nothing after it executes, the return stack is emptied, and the
data stack is left as the word left it. Not attached, NODE-ERROR is
plain memory, as the tests below the prompt use it.
- The capsule's words store a code where they stored -1, and the prompt's
(RAISED) prints its message: Negative count, Not a number, Number too
long, Not a character, Dictionary full, Name missing, Control structure
mismatch, Control structures too deep.
- ' and COMPILE and [COMPILE] of a word that is not there say
UNKNOWN WORD: 'xxx', as the interpreter does.
- tests: the trap in test_exec.c; every message from the prompt, with the
rest of the line not run and the stack kept, in test_host_quit.c.

With the stacks counted and guarded (D-16) their size is a parameter of
the node. The host node, which runs the interpreter and the compiler
under the user's programme, gets 32 values and 32 return entries; a mesh
node keeps the F18's 10 and 9. Nothing else about the mechanism or any
word's definition changes.
- stack.h: V4_DATA_RING and V4_RET_RING are build parameters; the
Makefile sets them for the host-node tests.
- tests/test_host_quit.c no longer assumes a size: it fills the stacks to
whatever they are, and takes every exit with the return stack full.
- Measured on the host node now: 28 values on a line, 29 waiting between
lines, words 31 deep from the prompt.

Ruled 2026-10-04, revising D-2: stack overflow and underflow are errors
that are shown and return to the prompt, not silent wrap-around.
- Each stack counts what it holds. Before every opcode the executor
checks that the stacks hold what it takes and have room for what it
leaves; otherwise the opcode does nothing and the node faults, as for a
bad address, to that kind's handler. Every fault empties both stacks.
- The fault handler is now a table of five jumps: address, data overflow,
data underflow, return overflow, return underflow. The host node says
"Stack overflow", "Stack underflow", "Return stack overflow",
"Return stack underflow", then ERROR and the prompt.
- Two registers, DSTACK-DEPTH and RSTACK-DEPTH: a fetch reads the depth,
a store empties the stack. QUIT, ABORT and the error exits empty the
return stack before they call anything; ABORT empties the data stack.
- capsule/forth.v4: DEPTH, PICK and ROLL, to FORTH-79 (counting from
one). PICK and ROLL set the values above the one wanted aside in
memory, and work with the stack full.
- Division by zero now takes its operands off the stack, as v3 does.
- A colon with no room for its entry abandons the line.
- tests: every opcode at every depth of both stacks; the faults, the
registers and the three words from the prompt.
The sizes are unchanged: ten values, nine return entries.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Ruled 2026-10-04: guarded, an error shown, back to the prompt.
- The executor checks every address a programme uses (P, A, B) before
using it. Outside memory the opcode does nothing, the rest of its word
is not executed, and P becomes the node's fault handler; a node with no
handler stops. v4_node_load/store never index outside memory.
- capsule/quit.v4: (FAULT), the host node's handler, prints
"Address out of range", ends an open definition, prints ERROR and
returns to the prompt.
- tests: every memory opcode and P in test_exec.c; from the prompt, from
inside nested words and loops, in test_host_quit.c.
This closes the hole node.h described: a wild address used to index the
model's own memory gigabytes out of bounds.

&NAME is the address of a word as a literal; CONST+N is a loader
constant plus an offset as one literal, so that a capsule file can
address the cells of its scratch area without adding at run time.

'header NAME [flags]' in front of a word gives it a dictionary entry in
the layout capsule/dict.v4 uses, linked to the header before it, so the
words of a capsule are in the dictionary as soon as it is assembled.
The name is taken as it stands (it may be ( or + or ;) and the
assembler's own name for the code may differ.
Tested in the assembler's own test, and by FIND and the field words
running over assembler-made entries beside ones (HEADER) made.

The first layer of the compiler capsule, on the host node: TIB >IN SPAN
SOURCE BL EXPECT QUERY WORD ENCLOSE CONVERT NUMBER and the comment
words. The definitions are text, v4/capsule/core.v4 (the core words
they rest on) and v4/capsule/input.v4, assembled by the text assembler,
which can now read a file.
EXPECT, QUERY, WORD and ENCLOSE behave as v3's. CONVERT and NUMBER are
FORTH-79 (ruled 2026-10-04): any BASE, a double in the standard order,
and NUMBER returns a signed double or sets NODE-ERROR.
Executed at both cell widths against C and against values recorded from
the v3 binary.

Test support, beside the slot packer: reads definitions in the notation
DECOMPOSITION.md uses -- words, opcodes, literals, constants, labels,
branches, FOR NEXT and FOR UNEXT, in-line macros, comments -- and lays
them down through the slot packer, so they no longer have to be retyped
opcode by opcode in C.
Tested by assembling SWAP, UM/MOD, C@ and C! both ways on two nodes and
comparing memory word for word, by running what is assembled, and on
every error it reports, each with its line number.

The console's receive side, standing in for the console node until the
mesh exists, as CONSOLE-TX does for output. A data fetch (@, @+, @b)
from CONSOLE-STATUS gives -1 when a character is pending and 0 when
not; from CONSOLE-RX it gives the next character and takes it, or -1
with none pending. The characters come from a queue the test feeds.
Instruction words and literals are still fetched with v4_node_load, so
code at a register's address is never taken for the register.

EMIT is a device service: a character sent to the console node. The
mesh and its ports are development step 2 and the memory map is open
(D-4), so the single-node model now stands in for the console with one
memory-mapped register, so that printing words can be run and their
output compared with v3's.
v4_node_console_attach(n, addr): after it, a store to word address
`addr` appends the low 8 bits of the value to a buffer on the node
(V4_CONSOLE_CAP characters, 4096 by default) and does not write memory;
a load from `addr` reads the memory word as before. Characters past the
capacity are counted in console_dropped and discarded. The hook is in
v4_node_store, which all four store opcodes use.
It is off by default: v4_node_reset detaches the console (address -1)
and empties the capture, so the ISA's behaviour and every existing test
are unchanged unless a console is attached. The address is the
caller's choice.
New test v4/tests/test_console.c, 22 checks per width: direct stores,
!b, ! and !+ through the executor printing "Hi!", memory at and around
the register untouched, the low byte only, overflow, detach, a console
at word 0, and reset. At 32- and 64-bit cells, optimised and ASan+UBSan
(`make test`, `make sanitize`); all other v4 tests still pass. Four
mutations of the hook each fail.
DECOMPOSITION.md section 7 gains the CONSOLE-TX row. No printing word is
defined here; EMIT and the words on it are still to do.
Test results on the amd64 host only. This is a development check, not
acceptance (JUSTIFICATION.md section 16).

UM* as first written in DECOMPOSITION.md section 4 was exact only while
u1 <= 2^(n-2): plain +* loses the carry out of T and its shift keeps T's
sign bit, so the loop is exact only while S and T stay in
[-2^(n-2), 2^(n-2)).
The rewrite multiplies by s = u1 2/, which always lies in that range,
starting T at t0 = u2 2/ when u1 is odd, so the loop yields
hi:lo = t0 + s*u2 exactly. Then
u1*u2 = 2*(hi:lo) + c_lo + c_hi*2^n
c_lo = u1 & u2 & 1
c_hi = (u1<0 ? u2 : 0) + (u1 odd and u2<0 ? 1 : 0)
restores the halved-away bits and the unsigned reading of both top bits.
test_foundation.c runs the new definition against v4_umul over every
pair of the edge vectors plus 20000 pseudo-random pairs, at 32- and
64-bit cells, optimised and under ASan+UBSan. The two pinned failing
cases are now ordinary exactness checks. Two hand mutations of the
correction step each fail more than 10000 checks at both widths.
DECOMPOSITION.md: section 4 UM* replaced, D-3 ruling text updated.

First code for StarForth v4 (JUSTIFICATION.md section 10, step 1): one node
of the 32-instruction core as a C99 model, with cell width as a build
parameter.
- Node: P, A, B, F18 circular stacks (10 and 9 deep, D-2), word-addressed
memory (D-1), 5% guard bands on every bounded list.
- Instruction word: six 5-bit slots in 32 bits at every cell width.
- Executor: all 32 opcodes of DECOMPOSITION.md 1.3. Cell arithmetic wraps
explicitly; no signed overflow or implementation-defined shift.
- Heat: per-opcode and per-call-target counters and the anti-clock, driven
by instruction retirement (1.4, D-6 interim).
- Slot packer and runner for tests, and a reference unsigned multiply in
plain C99 with no 128-bit type.
Tests run at 32- and 64-bit cells, and under ASan and UBSan. They cover
every opcode and execute the first section 4 definitions (NIP SWAP OR
NEGATE ROT 0< 0= 2DUP - U<) against the C operation each stands for.
UM* as written in section 4 is exact only while u1 <= 2^(n-2). Two known
failing cases are pinned in test_foundation.c until it is rewritten.
DECOMPOSITION.md: record D-9, the instruction word is 32 bits at every
cell width (ruled 2026-10-02).
