FABRIC-3.5.md: open the Tripod/kernel reshuffle as its own document 0e4e6673a9

Opened by direct instruction as a standalone document rather than a
FABRIC-4 scratchpad entry: the reshuffle is a ratified architectural
direction needing full FABRIC discipline, but it is not bare-metal boot,
so it does not belong in FABRIC-3 and does not close it. FABRIC-3 stays
open, living and authoritative for its own topic.

Records what was decided 2026-09-18 (Hermes into the kernel as arbiter
rather than client; Tripod reconstituted as Hera/Artemis/Console; Console
as the fleet bind point; BIRTH general with authority bounded by
inheritance; one gentle -> from-scratch -> brutal recovery ladder; SOS as
a standard message type with Hermes excepted via a sinking semaphore; no
provisional handoff of a failed birther's authority), and separates it
from what is still open.

Grounded against the tree rather than recalled, with provenance marked
per claim. Notes the concrete consequences the move runs into: Artemis's
two by-name S" Hermes" VM-EXEC call sites, the routing table's written
"never renumbered" commitment on slots 0/1/2, and the per-VM CREATE/ALLOT
message arenas that decide whether this stays a reshuffle or becomes a
rewrite.

Design only. No code authorized, nothing else in the tree touched.

FABRIC-3.5.md §XIII: work punch items 1 and 2, CLOSED with evidence bcf41e5618

Items 1 and 2 were the two pure-investigation entries, carrying no design
commitment, so they were executable without a ruling. Traced against the
tree at e56974e. No code written, no open design question answered.

Item 1 CLOSED: the by-name Hermes inventory is 14 FORTH sites across 5
files, 3 C-side sites, and a DoE CSV schema site -- not the two this
document's own §I.2 claimed. §I.2 corrected in place with a pointer
rather than rewritten, per the series' never-silently-drop rule. Good
news in the count: only 3 of the 14 are live production paths, which
materially lowers the estimated cost of §III.3.

Item 2 CLOSED: FABRIC-2 §H.1 (line 3699/3713), §H.12 (line 4057, also
cited from capsule_birth.c:785-788), and FABRIC-3 §XVIII (K held at
Q48_ONE) all verified against source. §V.3.4 and §VII.4 may now be
relied on.

Three findings not previously recorded. The Tripod is hardcoded as a
name-triple in C at capsule_birth.c:793 (is_fleet_foundation, the line
that makes a VM pinned), kernel_main.c:865 and :1007, plus six DoE CSV
columns in doe_log.c -- so changing Tripod membership changes the CSV
schema and bears on campaign comparability. Seven of the inventoried
FORTH sites are dead code in two capsules loaded by nothing, and
MANIFEST.md still carries a block-4055 "immutable ABI" claim FABRIC-2
declared stale and nobody corrected; reported, not fixed, as new punch
item 13.

Most consequential: Console today is plural, ephemeral and capsule-less
-- a 3-line C string literal, deliberately off the routing table, minted
fresh per attach. It is none of the five things the other Tripod legs
are, so "Console takes the vacated third slot" is not a relocation as
stated. Raised as punch item 12, gating §IV. A resolution shape is
offered as analysis, explicitly not ratified. Also notes that §V and §VI
are one change rather than two: Console cannot be the bind point while
BIRTH stays Hera-exclusive, since binding mints a proxy.
