A block write the device refuses after the kernel has taken the node's copy: the node was told "Storage refused" while the kernel's cache kept the new data, to be read back and perhaps written later. The kernel now puts its own copy back as it was. Tested with a device whose writes can be made to fail; it failed first. POST's runner: a case whose starting state could not be set says so, with what the node said, where it showed nothing; and a case that ends with QUIT fails, as it did when the cases were a capsule, where the runner had taken it for a completed line. Both tests failed first. The v4 boot says "Artemis: virtio-blk attached" only when the attach worked. make -C v4 test, sanitize and hosted-check pass; amd64, aarch64 and riscv64 boot, POST 538 of 538, dict_hash 0x5f0a949a6fc8ef2b on all six: logs/20261007-135741, -140004, -140329.

src/starkernel/
LithosAnanke — the bare-metal UEFI kernel that boots StarForth directly on
hardware (amd64/aarch64/riscv64). Built only via Makefile.starkernel; the
only valid acceptance test is the three-arch QEMU boot (see
.claude/CLAUDE.md), never make test.
kernel_main.c— kernel entry point, driving the boot milestones (console init, PMM, VMM, interrupts, timers, kmalloc heap, VM bootstrap).repl.c— kernel REPL.doe_log.c— kernel-side DoE (Design of Experiments) metrics logging.
Subdirectories:
arch/{amd64,aarch64,riscv64}/— per-architecture support (APIC/GIC/ PLIC interrupt controller, timers, boot/ISR assembly).boot/— UEFI loader, ELF loading, kernel command-line parsing.capsule/— capsule birth/run/load/validate pipeline.hal/— hardware-abstraction-layer implementation (console, framebuffer, VT100, memory, host services).hash/— XXHash64 content-addressing implementation.math/— kernel-build Q48.16 fixed-point arithmetic.memory/— physical/virtual memory managers and the kernel heap.pci/— PCI bus enumeration.virtio/— VirtIO block device driver.vm/— kernel VM subsystem (bootstrap, core interpreter, parity logging, capsule arena).
