S" Hera" KILL called vm_physics_retire(hera_id) before capsule_vm_kill()'s own Hera guard ever ran. Hera's self-referential parent_vm_id makes vm_physics_find_root_id() return her own id immediately, so vm_physics_retire() treated her as an unreachable root and zeroed the fleet's entire execution_heat_q48 sum -- silently, with only the harmless-looking "cannot kill Hera" message as output. Guard the retire call the same way capsule_vm_kill() already guards the actual kill. Three-arch acceptance boot, all clean to ok>: logs/20260813-083429/amd64, logs/20260813-083551/aarch64, logs/20260813-083738/riscv64. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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).
