Robert Allan JamesandClaude Opus 5.5 81def7b4a5 Stage G: SEND, and two workers interleave; decision compares work heat (FABRIC-3.8 §3.8, §3.13.7)
SEND ( paddr plen name-c name-u -- ok? ): general kernel-Hermes send to a
named VM, from = calling VM, one block max (refused, not truncated), every
VM. New SK_HERMES_MSG_TYPE_SEND (30).

Ruling C-4 (beta), Captain Bob: the switch decision compares work heat --
the heat each VM pulled in by its own per-beat charges -- not absolute
heat, so Hera's structural endowment no longer makes her hottest. Before
it, the two-worker test ran serial (AAAA...BBBB); after it, byte-identical
on amd64/aarch64/riscv64:
AAABBBBBBBBAAAAAAAABBBBBAAAAABBBBBAAAAABBBBBAAAAABBBBBAAAAABBBBBAAAAABBBBBAAAABB
(40 A, 40 B, 16 runs; ordinary words only, nothing yields). Acceptance:
relay 3, idle growth 0; dict_hash set changed by the new word
(word_count 533) and identical across ISAs.

Headers for the kernel-side VM subsystem (src/starkernel/vm/).

  • arena.h — the capsule arena allocator: fixed-region allocation for capsule payload data, separate from kmalloc's general kernel heap.
  • parity.h — the birth/execution parity-record logger: declares the logging interface used to record VM ID, capsule content hash, and dictionary hash on every capsule birth, enabling offline determinism verification across independent kernel runs.

See include/starkernel/vm/bootstrap/README.md for the VM bootstrap subsystem.
