rajamesandClaude Opus 5.5 029a8ed9cf fix(hermes): one delivery path -- a VM takes its own messages on its own turn, never on another's stack
FABRIC-3.5 SXXXII, closing FABRIC-3 SXXIX bug 2 (SXXXVI).  A send marks the
receiver for the switch signal; the VM's own loop on its native stack takes
its messages and yields; Hera's idle beat makes the pending switch instead
of running other VMs' messages on her stack; every VM gets switcher turns
from birth; the drain refuses any call outside the VM's own context (the
test: it held every relayed line before, none now).

Found on the way: amd64's first-entry frame left rsp 8 bytes off the SysV
entry alignment (#GP on the first interpreter run on a VM's own stack), and
a VM yielding from its loop was marked SWITCHED_OUT, which stopped console
relay after one message and would have made KILL refuse it.

Relay of four lines to a WIREBIND identity on all three ISAs, five
hot-plugged identities, and standard acceptance (POST 1052, hash
0x08873e0f44b7cb2a) all pass.

Headers for the kernel-side VM subsystem (src/starkernel/vm/).

  • arena.h — the capsule arena allocator: fixed-region allocation for capsule payload data, separate from kmalloc's general kernel heap.
  • parity.h — the birth/execution parity-record logger: declares the logging interface used to record VM ID, capsule content hash, and dictionary hash on every capsule birth, enabling offline determinism verification across independent kernel runs.

See include/starkernel/vm/bootstrap/README.md for the VM bootstrap subsystem.
