Workload capsules the DoE births are definitions only; each defines WL-RUN (its old birth-time work plus its entry word twice) and WL-DONE-ARGS. The driver births N workers, SENDs each 'WL-RUN WL-DONE-ARGS SEND', waits in an ordinary loop for N MU-DONE messages, KILLs them (parked idle), and emits the marker. The serialized VM-EXEC round-robin is gone. Kernel: no switch checkpoint after a payload's last word; work heat is the assessed per-beat charge, and a VM gaining work is raised to the busy set's floor (Captain Bob's ruling) -- fixes a live stall where a busy-waiting Hera never yielded, without serializing batch starts. Evidence: cfg-4 rows spread evenly over Hera and all 8 worker slots (44k switches); full cfg-4 trials on amd64/aarch64/riscv64 end fail=0 with 8/8 KILL dead; Stage G interleave byte-identical on all three. Acceptance: dict_hash unchanged, relay 3, idle growth 0. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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 (seetools/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.
