#189, ENGINE step 4, Phase 1 (plan 2026-11-13-engine-step4-phase1), Tasks
1-4. Captain Bob, 2026-11-13: Q1 "A new node key", Q2 "Per heartbeat
tick", Q3 "All of v3's", Q4 "In Phase 1" / "Full births now", who runs
next "Hera by compudynamics now" (Task 5, to come).
- stadium.c/.h: stadium_node_key(node) ("NODE" | number),
stadium_boot_init_for(first), stadium_birth_node(key, name);
stadium_boot_init() and stadium_birth_hera() are them for Hera's key, so
v3's path is as it was (only an impossible panic's words changed).
- kernel_main.c: the system is chosen and said first, then the Stadium,
sessions, switch-signal and kernel-Hermes tables for both systems in
v3's order; v4: Hera, node 10, patron zero under her node key, the word,
block and opcode layers. The quota self-test and the heartbeat's line
are functions now, called by both systems.
- sk_v4.c/.h: sk_v4_run() goes -- sk_v4_boot() returns, the kernel's
checks after POST (opcodes, words, conservation, quota, heartbeat), then
sk_v4_prompt(). sk_v4_charge_opcodes() at the heartbeat's service points
(the key wait, after each line) and once after POST.
- stadium_ops.c/.h: a node's 32 opcodes as Stadium patrons (HEAT-OP's
feed, "Both"): retirements charged as the word layer's dispatches, a
quantum each, the reservoir's floor kept, shared by retirements when
short; cooling per tick as words. ~0.5 us a charge on the host: kept.
- qemu_session.py: a v4 acceptance boot fails without "Stadium: N cells",
"Stadium conservation: CONSERVED" and the heartbeat's ticks (#189).
Tests first (logs/20261113-122142): the physics check failed on the v4
boot; test_stadium_node, test_stadium_ops (and its share case, after a
real boot showed ";" taking all the heat) failed before. Now: kernel host
tests all pass; amd64 v4 boot passes, POST 539/539, dict_hash unchanged,
"Stadium opcodes: 30 resident, hottest opcode 8", CONSERVED; a system=v3
boot prints its Stadium lines as on 2026-11-06.

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
