Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 3975dc61cd Stage D: CONSOLE-CMD-EVENT real cutover -- FABRIC-3.6.md task 3.9
Send-side cutover: sk_repl_dispatch_line()'s FORTH-string
"CONSOLE-CMD-EVENT 0 3 S\" ...\" 0 MSG-SEND" interpret is replaced with
a direct sk_hermes_send_one() call (SK_HERMES_MSG_TYPE_CONSOLE_CMD,
kernel_hermes.h, deliberately reusing CONSOLE-CMD-EVENT's own value 7,
same partition-rule reasoning as task 3.8's BLK-ATTACH-EVENT cutover).

Real finding along the way: kernel-Hermes's drain only ever runs as a
side effect of vm_interpret() being called on the target VM. Task
3.8's target (Hera) is always being interpreted via the interactive
REPL loop; task 3.9's target is a WIREBIND identity's own ~user VM, a
passive receiver nothing else drives. The existing idle-loop pump only
ticked VMs with the old FORTH MSG-TICK word ACL-allowed -- a VM minted
with the STD79-lockdown personality never has it, so the pump silently
skipped it forever and queued messages never delivered. Fixed by
adding an unconditional, direct sk_hermes_drain_checkpoint() call in
the same pump loop, independent of the MSG-TICK gate.

Verified live on all three architectures: WIREBIND-attach a real
identity, USE into it, type a plain console line, confirm the Stage D
evidence line and correct relayed execution result. Zero UNKNOWN WORD,
dict_hash identical across all three ISAs and matching task 3.8's own
baseline. The FABRIC-3.md-documented USE/BINDSTEP crash did not
reproduce in any of these live sessions (recorded as a finding, not
chased further).

Depends on the zuse_root_pubkey_known fix already landed in ac4d431 --
without it, WIREBIND cannot attach any identity on a fresh boot at
all, which blocked this task's own verification until found and fixed
separately.

Headers for LithosAnanke, the bare-metal UEFI kernel (src/starkernel/). Built only via Makefile.starkernel; gated by __STARKERNEL__ when shared with hosted code.

  • uefi.h — UEFI protocol/type definitions consumed by the loader.
  • elf64.h, elf_loader.h — ELF64 parsing and kernel-image loading.
  • boot_info_offsets.h — struct-offset constants shared between the assembly bootstrap and the C boot path.
  • arch.h, apic.h, timer.h — architecture init, APIC interrupt controller, timer (TSC/HPET/APIC, 100 Hz heartbeat).
  • console.h, framebuffer.h, vt100.h — UART 16550 console, framebuffer driver, and VT100 terminal emulation over the framebuffer.
  • pmm.h, vmm.h, kmalloc.h — physical memory manager (bitmap allocator), 4-level x86_64 paging, kernel heap allocator.
  • pci.h, virtio_blk.h — PCI enumeration and the VirtIO block device driver (disk backend for the kernel block subsystem).
  • capsule.h, capsule_birth.h, capsule_loader.h, capsule_run.h, capsule_vm_physics.h, capsule_generated.h — capsule system types, birth protocol, physics-runtime capsule bindings, and the build-time- generated capsule directory (see tools/mkcapsule.c).
  • kernel_args.h, cmdline.h — boot-time kernel argument parsing (starforth.cfg / command line).
  • repl.h — kernel REPL.
  • log.h, doe_log.h — kernel logging and DoE metrics logging.
  • q48_16.h — kernel-build copy of Q48.16 fixed-point arithmetic.
  • xxhash64.h — content-addressing hash used for capsule IDs.
  • hal_memory.h — hardware-abstraction-layer memory interface.

Subdirectories:

  • hal/ — top-level hardware-abstraction-layer interface.
  • vm/ — kernel VM subsystem headers (capsule arena, parity logging, bootstrap wiring).
  • freestanding/ — minimal libc-shim headers (assert.h, ctype.h, errno.h, inttypes.h, math.h, sched.h, signal.h, stdio.h, stdlib.h, string.h, time.h, sys/time.h, sys/types.h) for building shared VM code in the freestanding kernel environment, where no real libc is available.
