Who runs next is now sk_vm_switch_decide(): among participants with work (pending kernel-Hermes mail, parked mid-task, or Hera with console input), the coolest by VM-physics heat; ties with the incumbent keep the incumbent, ties among candidates go to the longest waiting (unique wait stamps). No scheduler state, no timer: heartbeat_tick() no longer touches switching, readiness/threshold/has_work/take_pending removed. Decided at owned word checkpoints (colon words and, new, between top-level words) after a beat or new mail, at the trampoline between messages, and at Hera's idle point in the console poll loops. The idle pump skips participants (G3 closed for them): the WIREBIND relay is delivered by a real switch to rajames~user. Probe (restored away): relay via switch Hera->rajames~user->Hera on all three ISAs, parked saved_sp inside own stack, walk-order disagreements 0 over tens of millions of decisions, 0 bytes idle log growth. Acceptance: dict_hash unchanged, relay 3, no faults. Rulings: C-3, C-5 as proposed; C-4 taken as (alpha), consequence recorded. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

||
* switched out. Returns to the caller only once something later switches
|
||
* back to `from` -- from from's own point of view, this call simply
|
||
* takes a while to return, like any blocking call.
|

*
|
||
* Cooperative only: nothing here is interrupt-driven yet (that's Stage
|
||
* 3), so this is safe to call only from ordinary FORTH word dispatch,
