mama_word_switch_mark_work()'s stack-underflow guard checked dsp < 2, requiring 3+ items, when it only ever needs the 2 IDX>NAME leaves it (caddr u). Since dsp is index-based (2 items == dsp 1), this rejected every normal call. MSG-SEND tail-calls SWITCH-MARK-WORK unconditionally, so this fired on every message sent anywhere in the system -- visible only where a caller happened to check the target VM's error flag afterward (mama_word_vm_exec()'s "VM-EXEC: ERROR in Artemis" report). Verified clean on all 3 architectures: boot reaches Startup: Artemis live -> zuse@Hera] ok> with no VM-EXEC: ERROR line at all.

src/starkernel/
LithosAnanke — the bare-metal UEFI kernel that boots StarForth directly on
hardware (amd64/aarch64/riscv64). Built only via Makefile.starkernel; the
only valid acceptance test is the three-arch QEMU boot (see
.claude/CLAUDE.md), never make test.
kernel_main.c— kernel entry point, driving the boot milestones (console init, PMM, VMM, interrupts, timers, kmalloc heap, VM bootstrap).repl.c— kernel REPL.doe_log.c— kernel-side DoE (Design of Experiments) metrics logging.
Subdirectories:
arch/{amd64,aarch64,riscv64}/— per-architecture support (APIC/GIC/ PLIC interrupt controller, timers, boot/ISR assembly).boot/— UEFI loader, ELF loading, kernel command-line parsing.capsule/— capsule birth/run/load/validate pipeline.hal/— hardware-abstraction-layer implementation (console, framebuffer, VT100, memory, host services).hash/— XXHash64 content-addressing implementation.math/— kernel-build Q48.16 fixed-point arithmetic.memory/— physical/virtual memory managers and the kernel heap.pci/— PCI bus enumeration.virtio/— VirtIO block device driver.vm/— kernel VM subsystem (bootstrap, core interpreter, parity logging, capsule arena).
