Robert Allan JamesandClaude Opus 5.5 1dbd0c74ed Stage S-1b: dictionary word ids grow with the dictionary; a word that can't get an id is refused whole (FABRIC-3.9.0 §8.1)
- word_id_map / recycled_word_ids are heap tables (one shared capacity,
  64 doubling), grown all-or-nothing by allocate-copy-free. Numbering is
  unchanged, so boot parity is unchanged.
- vm_create_word() takes the id before linking; on failure it frees the
  entry, sets vm->error, logs LOG_ERROR and counts
  (vm_dictionary_word_id_refusals()). No word runs with WORD_ID_INVALID.
- Readers of the id space bound by vm->next_word_id, not DICTIONARY_SIZE.
- transition_heat gets its own capacity and grows on record (was sized
  once -- a heap overflow under a dynamic bound); every reader bounds by it.
- Stadium id->cell rows start empty and grow on dispatch; a failed grow is
  logged, counted and not admitted. S-2 (the cell pool) stays open.

Probe (reverted), identical on amd64/aarch64/riscv64: +2000 words get real
ids (capacity 4096); a word at id 2738 lands 200x in the rolling window and
is Stadium-admitted; FORGET recycles across the old boundary; an injected
grow failure refuses the word whole (NULL, error, counter, dictionary
unchanged) and the retry succeeds. 3-ISA acceptance passes; boot parity
(531, 0x572daac83b797332) and the dict_hash set unchanged.

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.
