rajamesandClaude Opus 5.5 c233cb6536 feat(v4): the ROM's slot packer, word for word with asm.c
(OP) (LIT) (BRANCH) (BRANCH>) (RESOLVE) (LABEL), entries 6-11: the code
generator of any language built on the machine (MACHINE.md 2.1).  asm.c's
layout rules with text.c's branch placement; 400 random sequences agree
word for word with asm.c at both widths, memory-full and out-of-reach are
refused on both sides, and a ref with no branch is refused, not looped on.

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 ranges are shared across all loaded capsules — collisions cause silent word-definition overwrites.

3000–3999 workload capsules
4000+ user-defined (ACL.4th, zuse.4th, …)
