Step 6e, tasks 2 and 3 (docs/v4.0.0/MESH.md 7d). The nucleus puts, looks at, takes, moves and drops whole messages through the six addresses after its ports; its own ring of messages waiting, the refusals owed, (GATE) and the looking words' use are gone. SEND, an answer, a NACK and a GONE go or are refused at once; what a text prints waits for room; a text is not begun until the wire its answer goes by has room for it, and that room is kept. The lone node's host (v4/system/boot.c) keeps its two wires and does its operations; the test hosts' consoles put and take whole messages through the fabric. New: tests/test_host_depth.c, every message path of a mesh node at every depth of both stacks. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
