The identity gate on the v4 boot (plan 2026-10-26-engine-step4-identity-gate,
task G2; ENGINE.md 2, ruled 2026-10-20). As v3, by the kernel with no v3 VM:
after POST and the block chain, Zuse's public key from the genesis marker,
every xHCI controller brought up, the heartbeat started; then headless until
her drive is attached and checked (capsule_zuse_boot_check, G1). A drive that
arrives is given to the block subsystem by the kernel (Artemis is the
kernel's); her session is kept in the kernel for Hera, never in a node's
memory. The prompt is v3's, [zuse@Hera] ok>; pulling her drive ends the
session and the system goes headless; putting it back brings the prompt.
A blank pair stays headless: genesis writes Artemis's disk, Phase 5 (D2).
kernel/Makefile: ARTDISK and ZUSEDISK default to the minted pair,
disk/zuse-scratch/ (D4); .claude/CLAUDE.md's acceptance says so.
Fixed with it, at Captain Bob's word:
- kernel/Makefile: the ROM-and-map rule is a grouped target (&:). As two
targets of one plain rule its recipe ran twice at once under -j and the
copies met ("cp: cannot create regular file ... File exists"): 3 of 20
parallel builds failed, now 0 of 20.
- The v4 boot drops the logger to --log-level after POST, as v3 does
(sk_log_level_after_post, shared by both paths); INFO lines after POST,
3 before, 0 now.
Accepted: three clean qemu boots as built to [zuse@Hera] ok>, POST 538/538,
dict_hash 0xfec8c47cfc6f437f on all three (unchanged), 0 INFO after POST;
the hot-plug session (attach, line, detach, headless, re-attach) on amd64,
aarch64 and riscv64; headless with no drive; make -C v4 test test-32
sanitize hosted-check EXIT 0; make -C v4 test-32 0 failures.

Project-level configuration and instructions for Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working in this repository.
CLAUDE.md— the authoritative reference for how an AI agent should work in this codebase: hard rules (branch discipline, never work onmasterwithout permission, never stash without permission, report bugs rather than fixing them unprompted), build commands for both the hosted VM and the LithosAnanke kernel, architecture summaries, and pointers into the rest of the documentation tree.docs/CLAUDE.mdis an older, hosted-only snapshot kept for historical reference — this file supersedes it.TRIPOD.md— architectural constraints for the Tripod: the three-VM fleet (Hera the governor, Hermes the messenger, Artemis the memory/ storage owner) that LithosAnanke boots. Defines each VM's contract and what NOT to put in each one (e.g. no storage logic in Hermes, no event routing in Artemis).HERMES.md— Hermes VM architecture: the message-routing VM. Read in full before touching any Hermes-related code.ARTEMIS.md— Artemis VM architecture: the block-storage/persistence VM, including its free-map allocator. Read in full before touching any Artemis-related code.settings.json— Claude Code session/tooling configuration for this repository.
All four .md files here are binding constraints, not suggestions — they
are read in full before any work on the subsystem they cover, per this
project's own stated policy.
