rajamesandClaude Opus 5.5 6015c87157 revert(v4.0.0): step 6d, the wait, is backed out -- two reviews found it unsound
Ruled 2026-10-08.  The engine, the nucleus and their tests are as they
were at dfabfa46, before step 6d; the code of the wait and its tests are
in history at 075385ab..2cf37aab.  The limit of MESH.md 7b.7 stands: a
node that is stuck can hold up its neighbours until Hera kills it.

MESH.md 7c is kept as the record of the design as approved, and 7c.6 says
what was built, what the two reviews found, the cause the findings share
-- a node's message machinery runs on the stacks its text is using, and a
fault abandons whatever was in progress -- and what a second attempt
must settle before anything is built.

Kept from it, in hosted-check: a line that leaves 29 values on the stack,
and WORDS with 26 values on it.  Both hung the products at some commit of
the wait.

make -C v4 test and sanitize at both widths, hosted-check, lint; three
bare-metal boots typing both.  POST 538 of 538, word_count=317,
dict_hash=0xc0769523a47b7dc3 on all six: the hash of step 6c's code.

\ core.v4 -- the core words the host-node capsules rest on.
\
\ Each is the definition DECOMPOSITION.md gives and the golden-model tests
\ execute (test_foundation.c, test_strings.c, test_terminal.c, test_pictured.c),
\ written here as text for the text assembler (v4/include/v4/text.h).
\
\ Constants the loader supplies: N-1 (cell bits - 1), NODE-ERROR, CONSOLE-TX,
\ CONSOLE-RX, CONSOLE-STATUS, BASE, (MSG), (REPLY), (ME), (OUT),
\ (OUT^), (CONSOLE), (ROUTES), (ROUTE#), (ROUTE-DEFAULT), (PRINT-TO),
\ (PRINT-PORT).
\
\ ERRORS (D-18). A word that finds an error takes its arguments off the stack
\ and stores a code in NODE-ERROR. On a node with a prompt that store is a
\ trap: the word goes no further, and the prompt prints the message for the
\ code and ERROR (quit.v4, (RAISED)). The codes:
\ 1 Negative count 2 Not a number 3 Number too long
\ 4 Not a character 5 Dictionary full 6 Name missing
\ 7 Control structure mismatch 8 Control structures too deep
\ 9 Shift count out of range 10 Protected word

\ ---- section 5.10: the console -------------------------------------------
\ ---- what a node prints (docs/v4.0.0/MESH.md section 6) ------------------------
\ A node has no console of its own. It does what a message asks, and what
\ it prints while doing it is sent as a message: to the node in (CONSOLE), or
\ if that is 0 to whoever sent the text; by the port that leads there, or if
\ this node knows of none, by the port the text came on. A message is seven words and then its text, four
\ characters to a word:
\ to, from, type, heat and TTL, ACL tag, sequence, length in characters
\ The types: 1 text to be interpreted 2 what a node printed 3 how the
\ text ended (one word of text: 0 QUIT, 1 completed, 2 an error).
\ The header of the message being served is in the seven cells (MSG); (REPLY)
\ is the address of the port it came on; (ME) is this node's number.
\
\ Characters are kept in (OUT), 256 of them, a character to a cell, and sent
\ when it is full and when the text has been done with (quit.v4). (OUT^)
\ is where the next goes.
\
\ THE STACK. What prints may be run with the data stack all but full: EMIT
\ has always needed one free cell and no more, and still does -- it keeps
\ the character and A on the return stack while it works. Sending needs
\ two.
\ FINDING THE WAY (MESH.md section 7). A node knows its ports and nothing of
\ the shape they are wired in. Whoever wires it tells it, for a node, which
\ port leads toward that node: the table (ROUTES), (ROUTE#) entries of a
\ node's number and a port's address; and (ROUTE-DEFAULT), the port for any
\ node that is not in the table, or 0.
\ ( node -- port | 0 ) the address of the port that leads toward the node

HIT: drop drop @+ pop drop ;
\ LOOKING BEFORE WRITING (MESH.md section 7a). A write waits until the
\ neighbour reads, and a node that is waiting to write reads nothing: two
\ neighbours that each began to write to the other would wait for ever. So
\ a node does not begin a message until it has looked, (GATE):
\ - while any neighbour is waiting to write to it, it takes that message
\ in and keeps it with the messages waiting, to deal with when it has
\ nothing else to do;
\ - then, if the neighbour it means to write to is waiting to read, it
\ writes;
\ - and if that neighbour is not, it writes all the same when the
\ neighbour's number is the higher of the two, and otherwise looks
\ again. Of two neighbours one only may wait to write to the other, and
\ it is the lower: so those that wait are waiting on ever higher
\ numbers, and the highest of them is not waiting to write; it is
\ looking, and takes in what is being written to it.
\ (WRITERS) and (READERS) are the node's two looks at its neighbours, a bit
\ for each port. (NEAR) is the number of the node on each port, told by
\ whoever wires it (NEIGHBOUR, quit.v4); a port not told of -- a device's
\ -- is written to only when what is there is waiting to read.
\
\ THE MESSAGES WAITING are kept in (MQ) .. (MQ-END), one after another,
\ going round: for each its seven words, the port it came on, and its text.
\ (MQ-HEAD) is where the oldest begins, (MQ-TAIL) where the next will go,
\ (MQ#) how many cells are taken. One that there is no room for is read to
\ its end and let go, and (LOST) counts it.

\ REFUSALS (MESH.md section 7b). A message this node has no room for, or
\ no way to pass on, is let go and counted in (LOST); and its sender is
\ told, by a message of type 4, a NACK, whose one word is the node the
\ refused message was for. A node finds it has no room while it is taking
\ messages in so as to be free to write, where it cannot begin a message
\ of its own: so it notes what it owes, (OWE), in the eight pairs at
\ (OWED) -- whom it is owed to, and the node the message was for -- and
\ sends it when it next has nothing else to do, (PAY). With eight owed
\ already, one more is let go and counted. Nothing is owed for a NACK or
\ for a GONE, type 5: there is no NACK for a NACK. The last 36 cells of
\ the messages waiting are kept for those two types, so that ordinary
\ messages cannot take all the room.
\ ( to about -- ) a refusal is owed to the node `to`, about the node `about`.
