After the configuration descriptor's first 9 bytes the event loop asked for
min(wTotalLength, 128) whatever it was. A wTotalLength of 9 or less was then
asked for again as "short" -- for ever, that slot never leaving enumeration
(#170); 0 also issued a zero-length data stage. A set longer than the 128-byte
buffer was cut without a word, its later interfaces never seen (#171).
The decision is usb_config_request_length() (moved out of the event loop,
then fixed): 9 or less is 0 -- "xhci: a configuration of N bytes has no
interface -- not used", and nothing more is asked; longer than the buffer is
cut and said -- "xhci: config of N bytes cut to 128 -- rest unseen" (at most
53 characters). The buffer stays 128 bytes; its size is #171's to rule.
kernel/tests/test_usb_config.c, seen to fail first against the decision as it
was (10 failures: wTotalLength 1 to 9 asked for again, the cut unsaid), now
20 checks, 0 failures. Both runs in logs/20261112-180140/kernel-tests/. Built for amd64,
aarch64 and riscv64; the boots come with the protocol. #171's other box, a
composite device on the SER5, is Captain Bob's.

xhci.c's XHCI_XFER_CONFIG_DESC_FULL case walked the descriptor set inline, in
the event loop, where nothing could test it. The walk is now
usb_config_parse() (kernel/src/usb/usb_config.c), returning what it found;
the case acts on it as before -- the same messages, the same decisions: the
first Interface descriptor only, a BOT interface's bulk endpoints (the last of
each direction), a boot keyboard's first interrupt IN endpoint, bLength 0
ending the walk, nothing read past len. One difference, in debug output only:
the bulk endpoints are logged IN then OUT, not in descriptor order.
kernel/tests/test_usb_config.c, 7 checks, pins the walk as moved: a BOT stick
as QEMU presents it, a boot keyboard with its HID descriptor, a mouse before a
drive (the first interface only), a drive with bulk IN only, bLength 0, an
endpoint cut by len, an interface cut before its protocol byte. All pass.
Built for amd64, aarch64, riscv64; the boots come with the protocol (a data
stick enumerates through this path). The fixes for #170 and #171 follow.

Captain Bob, 2026-11-12: "Build an appropriate test harness! Love the idea."
The kernel had no tests below the boots, so defects QEMU cannot provoke could
not be tested first. Plan: docs/v4.0.0/plans/2026-11-12-kernel-host-tests.md.
kernel/tests/: one host program per kernel source, built with that source as
it is, the kernel's flags (-std=c99 -Wall -Wextra -Werror), and fakes --
the console captured line by line, a deterministic RNG that can fail, and a RAM
disk whose reads, writes or flushes fail at chosen 1 KiB blocks.
make -C kernel/tests test runs them; SRC_<test>= runs a test against other
code, which is how a test is seen to fail against the code before a fix.
test_gpt.c, 12 checks: a table written and read back; 16, 17 and 18 used
entries against max 16 and an entry out of range after the 16th (#180); the
RNG, the first write, a later write and a flush failing (#168). Against gpt.c
before #168 and #180: 4 failures, each defect caught. Now: 0. Both runs in
logs/.../kernel-tests/. Not yet a protocol stage: to rule (the plan, step 5).

gpt_read() stopped at max used entries (16 for the identity code, 4 in the
mint): a disk whose StarshipOS partitions came after the first max read as
having none, and the entries after max were never range-checked.
Now every entry is checked and every used one counted; a good table with more
used entries than max is GPT_MANY (the first max in parts), and the identity
code says "GPT: a USB drive has more than 16 partitions -- not used". Other
callers treat anything but GPT_OK as before.
Tested first, seen to fail: qemu_session.py gpt_many -- a data stick with its
two partitions as entries 17 and 18 after 16 others, and the same with an entry
19 past the usable range: both "not this system's stick" before (silently cut,
entry 19 never checked; logs/20261112-162236). After: "more than 16
partitions" and "a damaged partition table" (logs/20261112-162921).
Regressions: gpt_bad_entries, gpt_foreign PASS. gpt_zuse FAILS, on a stale
expectation unrelated to this change -- an identity-only GPT drive with no
system stick has been held silently as a possible real Zuse since #92 Task 4;
its log is kept here. The gpt_many images are made before the boot: a first
version made them after, failed in sgdisk and left its QEMU running, stopped
by hand (logs/20261112-162003).

A data stick hot-plugged with every read at its identity partition's first
sector (LBA 2048) failing, after a boot with no drive; it expects a message
naming the identity partition, Artemis let go (both partitions or neither,
#179), no prompt, and the same stick without the fault going on to genesis.
add_stick() takes fail_read_sector for it.
It FAILS today, and is kept so (Captain Bob, 2026-11-12: "keep the test"):
the partition attaches anyway and Zuse is minted onto it, because
blk_format_or_load_disk() ignores the header read's result and takes an
unreadable disk as blank -- filed as #187. #179 is parked: its half-attached
state cannot be reached from a disk fault. The run: logs/20261112-160050.

- heat.c call_index(): the comment read as an unfinished thought ("hash-mod or
just take low bits?", "ignore for now? Or clamp?"). It now states the rule
the code follows: indexed by the target, a target past the table not counted,
-1 telling the callers so; the table D-6's stand-in, which ENGINE step 4
Part A1 plans to remove.
- stack.h points 1 and 2 said there was no overflow detection "and there never
will be" and that a depth exceeded corrupted silently -- D-2, which D-16
revised. Now: guarded before every opcode, a mesh node 10 and 9, the host node
32 and 32 (D-17); C code that serves a node checks the depth itself.

held.

The kernel build's only warnings were five -Wformat-truncation in mkcapsule's

the capsule's path built from base_dir and its name.
- The names: both are char[CAPSULE_NAME_MAX], and names are checked to fit when
read (line 335) -- copied whole with memcpy, nothing to truncate.
- The path: base_dir may be up to 4095 bytes, so it can be cut, and a cut path
names another file -- now refused, the capsule left unchanged and counted
rejected, with the reason.
Seen to fail first: built with -Werror=format-truncation, 5 errors. After: 0,
and 0 warnings with the kernel's flags; the manifest it writes is
byte-identical, --lint passes. The too-long-path refusal is on --resolve's

v4_manage_serve took its arguments with v4_dstack_pop and never checked the
stack's depth: a request with too few values acted on stale ring values, and
one whose results did not fit dropped the oldest silently -- around the D-16
guards. Now each request's arity (manage.h) is checked first: fewer values
than it takes, or no room for what it leaves, is error 12 with the stack as it
was -- as a block request is refused (blocks.c).
test_manage.c, written first and seen to fail (12 of 13 requests at both cell
widths; NODE-BORN passed only because the stale value read was below 1): every
request with one value fewer than it takes, and NODE-ME and CAPSULE-CELL on a

The stick-high stage passed when one distinct dict_hash appeared: an
architecture whose boot left no accept file, no LOG: line, no serial log or no
PARITY:V4_SYSTEM line gave nothing, and two that agreed passed for three.
It is now a stage of its own, scripts/nightly.sh dict-hash, which stick-high
runs: one hash from each of amd64, aarch64 and riscv64, all found and one value;
otherwise refused, naming the architectures with none or the values that
differ. NIGHTLY_OUT points the stages at another directory, for the tests.
scripts/test_nightly_dict_hash.sh, written first and seen to fail (6 of 6, the
stage not existing), then 7 cases: agree -- pass; differ, no PARITY line, no

failed() printed "MINT-ZUSE: failed -- nothing changed" on every failure
after YES, though by then gpt_write_one() had rewritten the stick's partition
table and the identity partition's first blocks had been zeroed.
gpt_write_one() now tells the two apart: GPT_EIO when its first write failed
(nothing written), GPT_PART when a later write or flush failed (the disk is
changed). MINT-ZUSE keeps "failed -- nothing changed" for GPT_EIO only, and
says "failed -- the stick was erased; Zuse not minted" for every failure
after the table is written. The marker is still written last.

Each cleanup #129 set up (Captain Bob, 2026-11-07), and what proves it ran:
the Docker prune's and the package cleanup's logs written in the last 8 days;

lithosananke-runner tags; no artifact older than ARTIFACT_DAYS (30) + 1; no
Nexus snapshot asset older than 8 days (with NEXUS_USER/NEXUS_PASSWORD,
skipped and said so without); a dated disk line appended to HISTORY each run,
so "disk use flat" is a comparison of weeks. PASS:/FAIL:/SKIP:/INFO:,

Tested here against fixtures (a stale log, an old artifact, no docker -- each

those only, so each can be its own foreground command (the QEMU rule);

- scripts/nightly.sh images (set -e): the stage ended there, so the nightly

20261111-170544 amd64 on 90c5c140, stopped by me during boot: it had been
started in the background, against the protocol, and was
rerun in the foreground as 20261111-170703
DoE CSVs for every completed boot (experiments/bare_metal/runs).

v3/include/version.h is written by every build (kernel/Makefile and
v3/Makefile, both FORCE), with a timestamp and the last build's ARCH; the
committed copy was stale (LITHOS_VERSION 2.1.0). Untracked, and .gitignore's
entry corrected: it said include/version.h, the path before the move to v3/,
and matched nothing.
capsules/BLOCK_MAP.md differed on every build only in mkcapsule's
"Generated ... <timestamp>" header. The timestamp is dropped, so the manifest
changes only when the capsules do; two runs are byte-identical.
mkcapsule's warnings unchanged (5, #143).
Captain Bob, 2026-11-11: untrack version.h and fix the ignore; drop the
manifest timestamp.

Their pointers were committed in a5ed8c3d (2026-08-01) and the objects were
never uploaded: the server answers 404 for all of them, and no copy exists
(Captain Bob, 2026-11-11: "they can be trimmed out").
Removed: 3,827 phase-1 logs (docs/working/archive/legacy/phase-1), 3 in
docs/working/archive/historical, 106 DoE CSVs in experiments/bare_metal/runs,
QEMU_BASELINE.log, docs/SYSTEM_NARRATIVE.log, docs/ontology.log.
Kept: the 5 LaTeX build logs under docs/patent (legal hold) -- excluded from
fetch instead. .lfsconfig excludes every one of these paths, so older commits
check out and LFS fetches run without 404s.
Every LFS pointer left in the tree (1,195) has its object on the server.

These logs/ files were committed as plain text even though
.gitattributes routes logs/**/*.log through the LFS filter, so every
fresh clone showed them all as modified. Renormalize them so they are
stored as LFS pointers. File contents are unchanged.

PublicInquiry files the inquiry as before, then mails it through the wiki's mail service: plain text, the subject fixed but for the topic (line breaks removed), Reply-To the visitor's checked address, a link to the filed entry. If it is not sent the inquiry is filed all the same; a new class field, mailed (E-mailed to Captain Bob), says which, shown on the entry's sheet. Installed on the .org; a guest's test inquiry filed and thanked, mailed 0 -- the wiki has no SMTP account yet (Mail.MailConfig: no host), which Captain Bob sets in Administration > Email.

The design canvas (v17) gains the Documents artboard -- the Book of Fabric and
the Dictionary of v4 first, then the book, the three volumes and the API
reference, each with its SHA-256, and the SSRN paper -- and Downloads and
Documents in every .com nav; Downloads' reading list becomes a pointer to
Documents. site/com/canvas/ copied from it.
site/com/build.py --release TAG --sums SHA256SUMS builds Downloads and
Documents from the release ([TAG], [RELEASE]/<file>, [SHA:<file>]; a file the
release's SHA256SUMS lacks fails the build). Without a release it builds Home,
Try it and Inquiries exactly as before -- byte for byte -- with no link to the
two pages, so they go live only with alpha.4. install.sh installs them when
built.
scripts/nightly.sh gitea-release: the release's SHA256SUMS now covers every
file it attaches -- the images' sums, then the PDFs and the Root CA's
certificate -- so `sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS` checks all of it and Documents
finds each sum. The Nexus artifacts keep their own.

make dictionary -> build/docs/Dictionary.pdf (20 pages): mkdictionary.py checks docs/reference/v4-dictionary.tsv against the booted system's words first, so a stale dictionary fails the build; then Markdown, pandoc, docs/book/dictionary.tex (the books' preamble, its own title page: version and commit). Quoted FORTH tokens set as code, so their quotes print straight. The nightly's docs stage builds it; publish sends classifier dictionary; the Gitea release attaches it.

The names from the system itself (the hosted v4's WORDS, plus the kernel's sk_v4_words[]); the stack notation and description in docs/reference/v4-dictionary.tsv, drafted from the source where it says (54 stacks, 105 descriptions), the rest to write. check refuses a missing, unfinished or stale entry.

`make fabric` -> build/docs/BookOfFabric.pdf (722 pages): Part I the living
record (FABRIC-3), Part II the closed documents in the order written, Part
III the forward-looking notes; its title page carries the version (git
describe --tags: a release's tag) and the commit. Built from the same pandoc
fragments as the book; the book's preamble moved into docs/book/preamble.tex,
shared by both (the book builds as before, 821 pages).
scripts/nightly.sh: the docs stage builds it ($DOCS/fabric.pdf); publish
sends it as classifier `fabric`; gitea-release attaches every PDF in $DOCS,
so every release carries it. Progress for the rest of alpha.4's documents:
docs/v4.0.0/plans/2026-11-10-alpha4-documents.md.

First boot (genesis, growth, the time to the prompt), the second boot, MINT-ZUSE onto a second stick, the system stick alone (the fixed screen), both sticks at power-on -- each rehearsed first in QEMU by the qemu_session.py mode named. 3.2's 'boots headless' corrected: the stick's first boot now mints its Zuse.
