Robert Allan JamesandClaude Opus 5.5 27c430e0ca Stage K-1: real kernel realloc; word-metrics defects closed (FABRIC-3.10.8 §4.1)
- Kernel sf_realloc() is a real realloc (copy min(old,new) via new
  kmalloc_usable_size(), free old, NULL-on-0 frees). It allocated fresh
  and nothing else: every growth leaked, and vm_state_push()'s call-state
  stack lost every saved state past depth 8 (found here).
- Shim realloc() copies min(old,new) (over-read when growing).
- Defect 9: FC bucket growth no longer leaks or patches a copy; no
  sf_xrealloc() (freed a block the index still held on failure).
- Defect 5: heat snapshot heap-sized (was heats[1024], truncating).
- Defect 6: word refused whole when its metrics can't be allocated.
- Defect 7: vm_cleanup() (both) frees metrics' inner arrays.
- Defect 8: most-likely-next kept incrementally; no full id scan.
- Probe (removed): realloc keeps contents, heap returns exactly; call
  stack depth 20 intact; all three ISAs. Churn criterion NOT met: ~7 KB
  retained per churned VM (quota slots/word rows -- K-4 re-measures); a
  post-churn CONSOLE-CMD refusal attributed to the quota leak, K-4 retests.
- Standard sequence on amd64/aarch64/riscv64: hashes, G, ledger unchanged.

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.
