sk_hermes_send_one() -- the single funnel every sender, including sk_hermes_publish(), already goes through -- used to store the caller's own payload_addr pointer as-is. Two sends before either drains meant both messages pointed at the same caller-owned buffer, whichever send wrote last silently winning: real, confirmed live (a second identity thumbdrive attached at boot alongside Zuse's own left its WIREBIND pairing silently never happening). SkHermesMessage gains an inline payload_buf[SK_HERMES_CHUNK_MAX_ PAYLOAD] field; sk_hermes_send_one() now memcpy()s the caller's payload into it and points payload_addr at that copy instead. No sender or reader call site needed to change -- every existing reader already only ever reads through payload_addr, which still points at valid bytes of the same length, now message-owned. g_kh_blk_attach_buf/ g_kh_console_cmd_buf (repl.c, tasks 3.8/3.9) no longer need to survive past their own send call; their doc comments, which had claimed the old aliasing shape was benign, are corrected. Verified the original bug is actually gone: reproduced the exact original scenario (a real, sequentially-minted rajames identity attached at boot alongside Zuse's own, two simultaneous BLK-ATTACH- EVENT sends in one idle-loop pass) -- WIREBIND pairing, USE, and the Stage D relay all now work where WIREBIND previously silently failed. Standard three-ISA acceptance also clean: zero UNKNOWN WORD, dict_hash identical across all three and matching every prior acceptance run in this document.

include/
Public headers for the hosted StarForth VM (src/). Kernel-only headers
live under include/starkernel/.
Core VM
vm.h— theVMstruct and all core types (DictEntry,DictPhysics, stacks, dictionary state); the central header most other files include.vm_api.h— external VM API surface.vm_host.h,vm_debug.h,startup.h,version.h— host integration, debug utilities, startup sequencing, version string.cli.h,repl.h,io.h,log.h— CLI parsing, REPL loop, I/O, logging.word_registry.h— word registration system shared by everysrc/word_source/*.cfile.compudynamics.h— the generic compudynamics module: tuning-word/config lookups (cd_tuning_word(),cd_tuning_vm()) consumed byssm_jacquard.c.
Memory / blocks
memory_management.h,dictionary_management.h— dictionary allocator and search.block_subsystem.h,blkcfg.h,blkio.h,blkio_factory.h— logical→ physical block mapper and pluggable block I/O backends (file/RAM).platform_alloc.h,platform_lock.h,platform_time.h— platform abstraction shims (hosted vs. kernel allocation/locking/timing).
Physics-driven adaptive runtime (7 feedback loops)
physics_runtime.h— main physics coordinator.physics_hotwords_cache.h— Loop #1, execution-heat hot-words cache.physics_metadata.h— per-wordDictPhysicsmetadata tracking.physics_pipelining_metrics.h— Loop #4, word-transition prediction.physics_execution_hooks.h— execution instrumentation hook points.rolling_window_of_truth.h,rolling_window_knobs.h— Loop #2 circular execution-history buffer and its tuning knobs.inference_engine.h— Loops #5/#6, window-width and decay-slope statistical inference.dictionary_heat_optimization.h— Loop #1 heat counters.ssm_jacquard.h— L8 Jacquard steady-state mode selector.doe_metrics.h— Design of Experiments (2^7 factorial) metrics.profiler.h— performance profiling hooks.
Arithmetic / codegen
q48_16.h— Q48.16 deterministic fixed-point arithmetic (used instead of IEEE-754 float specifically to keep cross-architecture behavior bit-identical).math_portable.h— portable math helpers.arch_detect.h,starforth_config.h— architecture detection and the build-flag fallback-default layer (used when a.cfile is compiled by hand withoutmake).vm_asm_opt.h,vm_asm_opt_arm64.h,vm_asm_opt_riscv64.h,vm_inner_interp_asm.h,vm_inner_interp_arm64.h,vm_inner_interp_riscv64.h— per-architecture assembler-optimized inner interpreter (USE_ASM_OPT=1).
