Adds q48_reduce_angle() (range-reduce a signed Q48.16 angle into [-PI_Q48, PI_Q48] via one integer division plus a bounded fix-up loop) and q48_sin_approx/q48_cos_approx (Taylor series, terms n=3,5,7,9,11 for sin and n=2,4,6,8,10 for cos, early exit below 10). Q.SIN/Q.COS registered as FORTH words in q48_words.c, same pattern as Q.LOG/Q.EXP/Q.SQRT. Found mid-implementation: this codebase has two independent Q48.16 implementations -- src/word_source/q48_16_words.c (hosted/vendored) and src/starkernel/math/q48_16.c (kernel-only; the kernel build does not compile the former at all). The hosted build linked fine after the first pass; the kernel build failed with undefined references until the same two functions were added to both .c files and both q48_16.h headers (include/q48_16.h and include/starkernel/q48_16.h). Not fixed at the root -- Q.LOG/Q.EXP/Q.SQRT already had this same four-file duplication, unremarked until now -- just navigated correctly for this item. Verified live on amd64 via serial injection: sin/cos at 0, +-pi/2, pi, and 3pi (range-reduction across multiple turns) all match expected values within Taylor-series truncation error (<0.2%). All three architectures boot clean to ok> with the DoE completing; dict_hash identical across all three (0x291a660b05fa7b52). FABRIC.md item 4.3.3a marked done with full acceptance evidence.
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:
