Second stage of the preemptive context-switching plan. Every VM (Hera,
every capsule_birth_baby()-born VM including WIREBIND identities) now
gets its own dedicated 2 MiB native C stack at birth -- but nothing runs
on it yet, that's Stage 2. Pure allocation-machinery proof.
Design correction made before writing code: the plan called for cloning
sk_vm_arena_alloc()'s guard-page pattern, but that pattern turns out to
be Mama-only -- host_services.c's kernel_alloc() gives every baby VM a
plain kmalloc() block for its dictionary arena, not a real guarded PMM
allocation. Stacks get the real treatment instead (new
sk_vm_native_stack_alloc()/_free() in arena.c): independent
pmm_alloc_contiguous() + guard pages for every VM without exception, no
singleton, no kmalloc fallback -- a stack overflow is exactly the
failure mode guard pages exist for, and a corrupted stack could corrupt
whatever saved context Stage 2 trusts.
2 MiB size matches this project's own established kernel-stack
convention (g_kernel_stack/g_rpi5_native_stack), not a guess -- that one
shared 2 MiB stack today already carries all VMs' combined nested
VM-EXEC recursion.
Three new VM struct fields, freed in vm_cleanup() alongside the existing
call_stack free. Allocation failure is non-fatal to birth.
All 3 architectures re-verified clean boot to ok>, no native-stack
allocation failures for any Tripod-fleet VM.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_016UNhH1mhi52i6Qihh7ZV5S
Migrates Hermes's message/channel lifecycle onto the Stadium's unified
heat/capacity economy: MSG-ALLOC/FREE-NODE and CH-ALLOC/FREE-NODE now
route entirely through stadium_admit()/stadium_evict(), replacing the
old local free-list + independent heat-field mechanism. Eight
kernel-only STADIUM-* FORTH primitives (ADMIT, EVICT, RES@, RES-PULL,
RES-PUSH, HEAT@, HEAT!, WORD-HEAT), VM.stadium_vm_id threaded through
all three vm_core.c dispatch sites (replacing item 4.1's hardcoded
vm_uuid_hera()), and the stadium_owner[idx] fix so evict-credit lands
in the VM that actually admitted a patron, not whoever owned cell 0.
This session's own contribution, on top of that pre-existing
implementation: found and fixed two bugs blocking the item's own K≡1.0
conservation self-check (HERMES-K was reading 0, not 65536):
- Q.SLOT admission-heat fix (capsules/hermes/init.4th): MSG-SEND/
CH-ACCEPT admitted with Q.1 (the entire fleet-wide "1.0" unit) per
item, a leftover from before the Stadium migration when each
message/channel had its own unconstrained heat field. Instantly
drained the shared, finite reservoir.
- Reservoir floor for word-execution admission (stadium_words.c):
stadium_word_dispatch() (item 4.1) pulls STADIUM_WORD_HEAT_QUANTUM on
every word dispatch, not just first admission -- exhausts a VM's
entire reservoir in ~32 dispatches, starving any application-level
economy sharing that VM's reservoir before it gets a chance to pull
anything. word_dispatch_pull() now clamps word-execution's own pulls
to leave a Q48_ONE/3 floor (same fair-share figure COMMON-CH's own
floor already uses); application-level pulls are unaffected.
- STADIUM-WORD-HEAT primitive + stadium_words_resident_heat(): the
floor deliberately leaves word-execution residents holding real
heat, invisible to HERMES-K's original formula (MSG+CH+reservoir,
no term for word patrons). Adding this term closes K to exactly
65536 on all three architectures.
Also rules on two open scope questions in FABRIC.md: MBR-ALLOC/
MBR-FREE-NODE stay off the Stadium (membership records have no heat
field, never did -- the acceptance bullet's inclusion of them was a
completeness gesture predating a check of the actual layout), and
records the effort number (12 implementation files, +759/-120 lines).
Verified: all three architectures boot clean, full self-test passes,
Stadium conservation closes exactly (resident_sum + reservoir =
Q48_ONE) at both the C/Stadium level and the FORTH-level HERMES-K
check.

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.
