Not yet accepted (plan 2026-10-29-stick-5, Task 2, step 3).
- gpt.c: the writer, gpt_grow_last() -- the backup entry array and header to
the disk's end, the last partition to the last usable sector (whole MiB,
capped), both headers' CRCs, the backup before the primary, the
protective MBR's size; gpt_alternate_lba().
- sk_v4_grow.c: the volume grown to its partition -- its fence (the Artemis
signature, Zuse's genesis marker) moved to the new top, the header last;
the partition grown no further than the BAM tracks (the block subsystem
places the fence by the device's size, so a volume must fill it).
- sk_v4_identity.c: a stick of 8 GB or more whose GPT ends short of the disk
is grown before its partitions are opened; "Artemis: grown to fill the
stick" / "under 8 GB -- not grown" / "past 256 GiB ... left unused".
- block_subsystem: blk_volume_compute_totals() (compute_totals_from_B,
public) and blk_subsys_set_format_bam_for(); v3's behaviour unchanged.
- mkartemis --bam-for, mkdiskimage.sh --bam-for, kernel/Makefile
STICK_GROW_MIN_BYTES / STICK_ARTEMIS_CAP_GIB: the stick's and data stick's
Artemis BAM sized for 256 GiB (6144 devblocks). STICK.md 5a: 256 GiB (R1).
After: stick_grow PASS (16 GiB: 12129370 user blocks, 8 s POST to prompt;
second boot not grown, recognised; sfdisk --verify: no errors), stick_small
PASS, check_images.sh PASS.

mkdiskimage.sh --starship-from IDENT ART lays a minted pair out as a StarshipOS stick: an identity
partition holding IDENT's bytes and an Artemis partition holding ART's, each exactly its file's
size (Artemis's signature and fence are placed from the volume's size). kernel/Makefile: a
zusestick target, made fresh for every boot, is ZUSEDISK's default (ZUSE_PAIR names the pair);
STICK_PAIR puts the pair in the PC stick. qemu_session.py's Zuse drive is the pair as a stick.
check_images.sh checks both forms byte for byte against the pair (60 PASS).
On today's kernel all 23 sessions pass on the Zuse stick, and acceptance: amd64, aarch64,
riscv64 to [zuse@Hera] ok>, POST 538/538, dict_hash 0xfec8c47cfc6f437f; v4 suite and test-32
0 failures. The plan gains Task 5, screen=boot (ruled 2026-10-28).
Plan: docs/v4.0.0/plans/2026-10-27-stick-4-one-disk.md, Task 1 (R1 as recommended).

The stick's increment 3, Task 1 (docs/v4.0.0/plans/2026-10-27-stick-3-images.md;
STICK.md 4). make boot_image TARGET=PC now writes the 2 GiB stick: ESP 64 MiB
(BOOTX64.EFI, startup.nsh, starforth.cfg), StarshipOS identity 500 MiB (zeros),
StarshipOS Artemis to the end. make -f kernel/Makefile ARCH=<arch> datastick
writes the 1.5 GiB data stick, identity and Artemis, fresh every time. Sizes in
kernel/Makefile; every partition on whole MiB.
tools/mkartemis formats and signs an Artemis partition at build with the
kernel's own code -- v3's block_subsystem.c (blk_subsys_confirm_format) and
artemis_sig.c (artemis_sig_genesis_stamp) -- through a blkio device over a byte
range of the image; --check reads one back the same way (read-only). disk_uuid
from getrandom(2): each image its own. mkdiskimage.sh gains --starship,
--mkartemis, --esp-mib; Milk-V and the Pi images are unchanged. The kernel is
not changed.
Red: scripts/check_images.sh FAIL (no datastick, the PC image one partition).
Green: 23/23. Mutation: --check on a range shifted by one block fails.
Accepted: suite EXIT 0; 133146, 133417, 133815, POST 538/538, dict_hash
0xfec8c47cfc6f437f; test-32, 0 failures.

Source tree reorganization:
- Move StarForth v3 engine to v3/ (src/, include/, Makefile)
- Move kernel to kernel/ (src/, include/, linker/, Makefile)
- Create v4/ skeleton for F18-ISA golden model (DECOMPOSITION.md, JUSTIFICATION.md)
- Move FABRIC-0..4.md to docs/fabric/
- Move ONTOLOGY.md and ROADMAP.md to docs/
Board infrastructure:
- Add boards/ser5/, boards/raspi/, boards/milkv/, boards/zynq7020/
- Each board has board.mk (ISA, CPU flags, boot recipe) and README.md
- Root Makefile becomes thin dispatcher: boot_image, all, clean, docs take TARGET
- make boot_image TARGET=SER5|RASPI|MILKV builds one GPT/MBR image per board
- ZYNQ7020 target exists but stops with clear error (ARMv7 port not built yet)
- scripts/mkdiskimage.sh builds disk images for all boards
Docs pipeline:
- docs/book/ with LaTeX master (main.tex) and Makefile
- pandoc converts Markdown to LaTeX at build time
- Two Lua filters: table-widths.lua (wide tables wrap), code-breaks.lua (inline code breaks)
- make docs builds single PDF (754 pages, 0 missing characters)
- make docs TARGET=<board> adds board appendix
- build/docs/<book|board>/meta.tex stamps git commit into PDF
Bug fixes:
- 42 include paths that only worked by accident now use correct relative paths
- clang-18 hardcode replaced with configurable CC variable (fixed aarch64 build)
- Pi 5: kernel_2712.img linked at 0x80000, .bss zeroed, memory reserved
- Doxyfile, .clang-tidy, README.md, Kconfig paths updated
Verified:
- Hosted v3 build passes 1012 tests, 0 failures
- SER5 image boots in QEMU (OVMF), POST passes, K exact (65536 = Q48_ONE)
- Milk-V image boots in QEMU (OpenSBI + U-Boot + bootefi), POST passes
- make clean TARGET=<board> removes only that board and its ISA objects
- make all builds all boards, hosted v3, and docs in one run
