Wired into sk_repl_idle()'s USB hotplug attach handler, right between blkio_usb_open_msc() succeeding and blk_subsys_attach_device() -- logs a distinct message per outcome (recognized / blank-or-foreign / bad-version / bad-crc / read-error). The "refuse" half is deliberately not implemented -- there is nothing real to gate yet. blkio_usb.c has no SCSI WRITE(10) support at all, so there is no write path today to refuse; attach currently only enables read-only access, which is also the general-purpose USB block I/O path this repo already relies on for unrelated testing, not exclusively a home-blocks identity workflow. Refusing attach on blank media would break that legitimate use without protecting anything real -- same "don't build ahead of a real caller" reasoning EXPIRE's deferral used. Refuse belongs on the write path once WRITE(10) exists. sig_start_fblock is hardcoded to 0 at the call site -- correct for today's unpartitioned raw test/real media (no GPT parser exists yet), flagged in the comment as the one place that changes once a real GPT-partition-relative lookup exists, isolated from homeblocks_sig.c's own location-agnostic check logic. Verified live: hot-attached disk/usb-thumbdrive-test.img (blank media) through a running amd64 instance's QMP socket (blockdev-add + device_add usb-storage) -- captured exactly 4 real TUR+READ10 BOT cycles (matching the header's 4 forth-block span) followed by the correct "not recognized" warning, then normal attach completing successfully afterward (no regression). Conservation intact, no panic. Clean zero-warning compile and clean boot on all three architectures.

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).
