Robert Allan JamesandClaude Opus 5.5 6e933dac38 Stage O-A: the Tripod is an observer -- outside the compudynamic comparison, acting on events (FABRIC-3.9.0 §2, 3.9.8)
Observer flag on switch-signal slots, set by the kernel for the Tripod
(is_fleet_foundation, hoisted; Hera in kernel_main). The decision: an
observer in progress or holding an event keeps the CPU; observers with
events (mail, Hera's console input) go ahead of participants, oldest wait
stamp first; participants compared by work heat as before. Observers are
never charged (O-2) nor floored. Uncommitted heat-share charge discarded.

Evidence, byte-identical amd64/aarch64/riscv64: G interleave unchanged;
Hestia's mail runs before any worker output (HHHABB...); a line typed
while two workers run is read and executed mid-stream (...ABAB1 2 + . /
3 ok / ABAB...) -- console responsive under load. Relay 3, dict_hash
unchanged. Busy-wait DOE deliberately not run (deadlocks by design until
O-C). FABRIC-3.9.0 records rulings and Captain Bob's messaging note (§7).

include/starkernel/

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.
