Design only, for Captain Bob's review; nothing authorizes an edit.
- Observers (the Tripod) get system-core affinity where cores allow;
workers are placed nowhere -- every worker core asks the existing
compudynamic decision at clean boundaries and claims the winner with one
atomic compare-and-swap. Static worker placement ruled out (Captain Bob:
"anti starshipos given there isn't a fixed number of vm's").
- Traces what exists (no SMP bring-up; MADT/PSCI groundwork; no-op kernel
mutexes; single-writer globals), the per-ISA bring-up, the locking
inventory, idle/wake by IPI, per-core physics, staging MC-0..MC-4, and
rulings MC-R1..MC-R6.
- Part II: the open gaps. Filesystem ruled out ("NEVER! anti POSIX!"),
networking deferred; O-D/merge, multi-core, interrupt-driven devices,
the fixed-size audit remainder, security policy, hardware, M8/M9,
FORTH-readable counters, and ten known defects (one new: xHCI input
context leak per configure).
