rajamesandJunie a8b70e88d3 Reorganize source tree: kernel/, v3/, v4/ split and board infrastructure
Source tree reorganization:
- Move StarForth v3 engine to v3/ (src/, include/, Makefile)
- Move kernel to kernel/ (src/, include/, linker/, Makefile)
- Create v4/ skeleton for F18-ISA golden model (DECOMPOSITION.md, JUSTIFICATION.md)
- Move FABRIC-0..4.md to docs/fabric/
- Move ONTOLOGY.md and ROADMAP.md to docs/

Board infrastructure:
- Add boards/ser5/, boards/raspi/, boards/milkv/, boards/zynq7020/
- Each board has board.mk (ISA, CPU flags, boot recipe) and README.md
- Root Makefile becomes thin dispatcher: boot_image, all, clean, docs take TARGET
- make boot_image TARGET=SER5|RASPI|MILKV builds one GPT/MBR image per board
- ZYNQ7020 target exists but stops with clear error (ARMv7 port not built yet)
- scripts/mkdiskimage.sh builds disk images for all boards

Docs pipeline:
- docs/book/ with LaTeX master (main.tex) and Makefile
- pandoc converts Markdown to LaTeX at build time
- Two Lua filters: table-widths.lua (wide tables wrap), code-breaks.lua (inline code breaks)
- make docs builds single PDF (754 pages, 0 missing characters)
- make docs TARGET=<board> adds board appendix
- build/docs/<book|board>/meta.tex stamps git commit into PDF

Bug fixes:
- 42 include paths that only worked by accident now use correct relative paths
- clang-18 hardcode replaced with configurable CC variable (fixed aarch64 build)
- Pi 5: kernel_2712.img linked at 0x80000, .bss zeroed, memory reserved
- Doxyfile, .clang-tidy, README.md, Kconfig paths updated

Verified:
- Hosted v3 build passes 1012 tests, 0 failures
- SER5 image boots in QEMU (OVMF), POST passes, K exact (65536 = Q48_ONE)
- Milk-V image boots in QEMU (OpenSBI + U-Boot + bootefi), POST passes
- make clean TARGET=<board> removes only that board and its ISA objects
- make all builds all boards, hosted v3, and docs in one run

capsules/

FORTH personality files loaded by the VM at boot. A capsule is an immutable, content-addressed payload; its XXHash64 hash is its identity. Any mutation changes the hash and the birth protocol rejects the image.

Key files

File Type Purpose
init.4th (m) MAMA_INIT Default Mama VM personality — loaded at LBN 2048
ACL.4th user Word-level ACL system; self-activating at boot
zuse.4th user Bootstrap superuser; loaded by ACL.4th
doe.4th user DoE workload words (EXEC-DOE) — opt-in
workload-0.4th … workload-9.4th (p) Numbered personality variants
init-l8-*.4th (p) L8 Jacquard mode variants (stable/volatile/diverse/temporal/transition/omni)
hermes/init.4th (p) Hermes baby VM personality
artemis/init.4th (p) Artemis baby VM personality

Block namespace

Block ranges are shared across all loaded capsules — collisions cause silent word-definition overwrites.

Range Owner
2048–2099 init.4th
2100–2199 doe.4th
3000–3999 workload capsules
4000+ user-defined (ACL.4th, zuse.4th, …)

Each block is limited to 1024 bytes. Verify with wc -c before committing.
