The header scan (Captain Bob, 2026-11-10): 788 source files -- 351 with the
SL-1.0 header, 12 with the old name (docs/working/experiments, kept by
ruling), 31 under someone else's licence (tools/kconfig, Linux's, GPL-2.0:
kept), and 394 with none. Ruled: the SPDX form; capsules (.4th, .f18) and
proofs (.thy) left for a ruling of their own (mkcapsule's 64x16 block format,
content-addressed capsules).
253 files now begin

as a /* */ block (C, headers, assembly, linker scripts) or # lines (scripts,
Makefiles, Kconfig; below a shebang or a coding line); tools/mkcapsule.c,
which had the copyright line, gets the SPDX line only.
Not touched: docs/working/ (archive and old campaign material, as the
ruling kept the experiments); v4/system/post_cases.c (generated by
v4/tools/mkpost.py, "do not edit" -- the generator has the header).
Comments only: the kernel builds on amd64, aarch64, riscv64; make -C v4
test-32: 39 programs, 0 failures; every changed script parses.

- Text after start is refused, as text.c refuses it: before it jumps, the
ROM reads on to the end of the source; blanks, comments and the ends of
blobs may follow, a token is ERR-AFTER (26), "text after start".
- A token too long where a name, a target or a value is wanted is "name
too long", as text.c says: (MISSING) reports "missing" only when no error
came first. `", keeps "missing", which is text.c's word for both.
- text.c's "address out of range" names the address, not the value.
- The system's source files are one list, v4/sys_files.h: boot.c, the
harness and the nucleus test are made from it.
- The ROM's error codes and words are one list, v4/rom_errors.h: boot.c's
messages, host_map.h's ROM_ERR_* and mkmap's ERR-* are made from it.
- node.h says what v4_node_store does with a ROM address (nothing, as for
any address outside RAM, D-14); test_host_rom_range pins it.
ROM: 2095 words, rom_hash 0x06d0dcb7a0cb41a1. dict_hash unchanged,
0xe5a57f3eb72ff94a. make -C v4 test test-32 hosted-check pass. QEMU:
amd64, aarch64, riscv64 to ok>, POST 538/538, POST: PASSED.

A read-only range of V4_ROM_WORDS words at V4_ROM_BASE, above RAM
(MACHINE.md 2, DATASHEET-F18.md 5). Instruction fetch, @p and data fetches
read it; a running programme's store there is an address fault. Attached by
the owner like every device; a reset detaches it. The host node's range is
4096 words. text.c places branches by the whole address space. The
nucleus image is byte-identical.
