Step 1: new artemis_sig_t header format (magic 'ARTM', sibling to homeblocks_sig_t, distinct so a generic scan can tell Artemis's own disk apart from an identity thumbdrive by content alone) -- artemis_sig.h/.c, wired into Makefile.starkernel. Step 2: sk_repl_idle()'s existing per-USB-MSC-slot attach handling (the pattern WIREBIND already uses for identity thumbdrives) now also checks for the ARTM signature whenever a device's home-blocks check comes back BLANK. On a match, once Artemis's own storage-attach round-trip (HERA-BLK-ATTACH-REQ/BLK-ATTACH-ACK) confirms success, capsule_zuse_boot_load_root_pubkey() runs -- the same call kernel_main.c's synchronous QEMU-only virtio-blk path already makes, now reachable without a hardcoded PCI vendor/device scan. That function is already idempotent (no-op once zuse_root_pubkey_known is set), so no boot restructuring was needed despite the initial concern that deferring Artemis discovery to the idle loop would require one. Verified: clean build + QEMU boot to [zuse@Hera] ok> on all three architectures, zero regression to the existing virtio-blk/Zuse-thumbdrive attach path. Steps 3 (genesis-stamping onto disk/artemis.img) and 4 (growable production log-persistence region) not yet started.

src/
Hosted StarForth VM implementation (compiled by the root Makefile).
Bare-metal kernel sources live in src/starkernel/; FORTH word
implementations in src/word_source/; the test harness in
src/test_runner/; platform shims in src/platform/.
Entry point / interpreter core
main.c— CLI entry point, VM init, DoE mode dispatch.vm.c— interpreter loop, stacks, dictionary state (the central runtime file).vm_api.c— external VM API implementation.vm_bootstrap.c— VM bootstrap initialization.vm_debug.c— debugging utilities.vm_time.c— time-related VM operations.vm_internal.h— internal-only declarations shared across thevm_*.cfiles, not part of the publicinclude/vm_api.hsurface.repl.c— REPL read-eval-print loop.cli.c— CLI argument parsing.io.c— I/O operations.log.c— logging infrastructure.
Memory / dictionary / blocks
memory_management.c— dictionary allocator.dictionary_management.c— dictionary allocation and search.dictionary_heat_optimization.c— Loop #1 execution-heat tracking.word_registry.c— word registration system.block_subsystem.c— logical→physical block mapper.blkio_file.c,blkio_ram.c,blkio_factory.c— block I/O backends (file-backed, RAM-backed) and the factory that selects between them.stack_management.c— stack operations.
Physics-driven adaptive runtime (7 feedback loops)
physics_runtime.c— main physics coordinator.physics_hotwords_cache.c— Loop #1 hot-words caching.physics_metadata.c— per-word metadata tracking.physics_pipelining_metrics.c— Loop #4 word-transition prediction.physics_execution_hooks.c— execution instrumentation.rolling_window_of_truth.c— Loop #2 circular execution-history buffer.inference_engine.c— Loops #5/#6, statistical inference (window-width, decay-slope).ssm_jacquard.c— L8 Jacquard steady-state mode selector; consumescompudynamics.cfor tuning-word/config lookups.compudynamics.c— generic compudynamics module (cd_tuning_word(),cd_tuning_vm()); the score/UCB/reward/weight constants for the L8 adaptive table live here, not inssm_jacquard.c.heartbeat_export.c— heartbeat metrics export (CSV export function itself not yet implemented — seedocs/working/architecture/heartbeat_csv_export.md).
Math / measurement
math_portable.c— portable math functions.profiler.c— performance profiling.doe_metrics.c— Design of Experiments metrics (2^7 factorial).
Any .bak file alongside a .c file here (doe_metrics.c.bak,
inference_engine.c.bak, vm.c.bak) is a pre-edit backup left by a past
maintenance script (see scripts/remove_loop_conditionals.sh), not a
build input.
