Added 4055-4059 (former common/msg.4th) and 4300-4399 (former
process.4th) as reserved, each noted as freed by this reshuffle's
strip rather than owned by non-capsule infrastructure -- the file's
usual purpose (Artemis's own block usage, etc.). Framed explicitly as
lifted, not permanent, once someone deliberately wants a range back,
per FABRIC-3.5.md SSXVIII.4/XXII.4: freed ranges should be returned
here rather than silently available for a future capsule to reclaim
without anyone noticing.
mkcapsule --lint capsules/ clean, 37 files / 0 violations.
check_reserved_conflicts() -- the hard build-gate that actually reads
this file (tools/mkcapsule.c:974) -- passes clean on a real
`make -f Makefile.starkernel ARCH=amd64 all`, confirming the new
entries don't collide with anything currently baked. Registry/
documentation only, no capsule content touched, so no 3-arch boot run
for this task.
All of Phase 0's strips and documentation corrections (0.1-0.6) are
now done. stadium_conserved() (0.7) and the PLOT/FB-WIDTH/FB-HEIGHT
registration audit (0.8) remain.
Authorized by Captain Bob ("Go for it.").

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 namespace
Block ranges are shared across all loaded capsules — collisions cause silent word-definition overwrites.
| Range | Owner |
|---|---|
| 2048–2099 | init.4th |
| 2100–2199 | doe.4th |
| 3000–3999 | workload capsules |
| 4000+ | user-defined (ACL.4th, zuse.4th, …) |
Each block is limited to 1024 bytes. Verify with wc -c before committing.
