- Text after start is refused, as text.c refuses it: before it jumps, the ROM reads on to the end of the source; blanks, comments and the ends of blobs may follow, a token is ERR-AFTER (26), "text after start". - A token too long where a name, a target or a value is wanted is "name too long", as text.c says: (MISSING) reports "missing" only when no error came first. `", keeps "missing", which is text.c's word for both. - text.c's "address out of range" names the address, not the value. - The system's source files are one list, v4/sys_files.h: boot.c, the harness and the nucleus test are made from it. - The ROM's error codes and words are one list, v4/rom_errors.h: boot.c's messages, host_map.h's ROM_ERR_* and mkmap's ERR-* are made from it. - node.h says what v4_node_store does with a ROM address (nothing, as for any address outside RAM, D-14); test_host_rom_range pins it. ROM: 2095 words, rom_hash 0x06d0dcb7a0cb41a1. dict_hash unchanged, 0xe5a57f3eb72ff94a. make -C v4 test test-32 hosted-check pass. QEMU: amd64, aarch64, riscv64 to ok>, POST 538/538, POST: PASSED.

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.

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