Robert Allan JamesandClaude Opus 5.5 c8b754fd80 FABRIC-3.10.8 MC-2: observers stay on core 0
The decision's observer pass runs only on core 0; a switch into an
observer on any other core is refused and counted (a guard, 0 in every
run). Probe posing as core 1: no observer chosen, switch refused 0 -> 1;
as core 0 the same decision returns Hestia. 3-ISA acceptance clean.

/**
* switch.h - Cooperative VM context switch (FABRIC-3.md §XXVIII, Stage 2,
* 2026-09-13).
*
* sk_vm_context_switch() suspends `from`'s execution exactly where it is
* (mid-C-call-stack, on from's own native stack -- Stage 1) and resumes
* `to` -- either for the first time ever (a synthesized initial frame,
* entering sk_vm_switch_entry()) or exactly where `to` was itself last
* 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,
* never from ISR context.
