Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 d686f28853 Artemis Milestone 2h (foundational): sync wait bridge + SCSI READ CAPACITY(10)
Closes the gap block_subsystem.c needs before any of 2h's real work
(blkio_usb.c, attach wiring, hot-detach) can start: this driver is fully
async/polled with no way for a synchronous caller (blkio_read()/
blkio_info() etc.) to get a result back. xhci_bot_wait_for_idle() is a
bounded busy-wait over xhci_poll_events() -- MUST be called only from
outside xhci_poll_events()'s own call frame, never from within it or a
next_action dispatch (recursion into live Event Ring/ERDP processing,
same class of hazard already documented for doorbell rings in this
driver). xhci_get_dev() exposes the module-static device handle to
outside callers that didn't observe the original hotplug event.

SCSI READ CAPACITY(10) (opcode 0x25) is the other half -- nothing could
learn a device's block size/capacity before this. First attempt sent it
bare and hit the classic first-command UNIT ATTENTION (CSW FAILED); fixed
with the same TUR-guard pattern READ(10) already used, generalized via a
new bot_tur_chain_target field so TEST UNIT READY's PASS handling can
chain into either command. bot_data_buf grown 512->1024 bytes (one Forth
block = two 512-byte SCSI blocks, per block_subsystem.c's own 1KiB-unit
convention).

Verified live via a temporary probe (hot-attached disk/usb-thumbdrive-
test.img via QMP, reverted after capture): TUR-guarded READ CAPACITY10
correctly reported last LBA=0x1ffff, block size=0x200 -- exactly 64MiB,
matching the test image byte for byte -- followed by a TUR-guarded
1024-byte/2-block READ10, both PASS. All three architectures re-verified
clean, probe-free boot to ok> on the reverted tree. FABRIC-2.md Section X
2h updated with the writeup; the blkio_usb.c backend itself is next.

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 the vm_*.c files, not part of the public include/vm_api.h surface.
  • 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; consumes compudynamics.c for 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 in ssm_jacquard.c.
  • heartbeat_export.c — heartbeat metrics export (CSV export function itself not yet implemented — see docs/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.
