Task 5 of plan 2026-10-29-stick-5, accepted in full, and with it #92:
- amd64, aarch64, riscv64: PARITY:V4_POST tests=538 pass=538 fail=0,
POST: PASSED; word_count=318 dict_hash=0x8c92508f748f99cf on the three
- the PC stick as built, loaded high: 538/538, the prompt
- make -C v4 test-32: 39 programs, 0 failures
Sessions: fallback, replace, mint_fail, system_pull_real; regressions:
every Task 4 session, genesis, stick_genesis, screen_dark_until_login,
screen_dark_after_logout, kbd_typeahead, emergency. Verdicts in
logs/20261110-075036/verdicts/. The plan's Task 5 ticked; STICK.md 11
increment 5a done; FABRIC-3 XLVIII.17; the SER5 bench steps in
boards/BRINGUP.md 4.2.

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.

The four lines on the screen and serial while the proxy is recognised and her stick is not here; R runs sk_v4_mint_zuse(), every other key is dropped. Her stick pulled: the screen again. The system stick pulled while hers is in: hers let go first (the block chain's tail), remembered for the system stick's return. Builds on three ISAs; fallback running.

POST: PASSED; PARITY:V4_SYSTEM word_count=318 dict_hash=0x8c92508f748f99cf

A GPT stick with an identity partition and no Artemis, the system stick in and its marker naming a real Zuse: checked against the real key; a match attached and logged in (a running session moves to her); no match: 'not this system's Zuse stick -- not used'. Arriving first, it is remembered and checked when the marker is read. Builds on three ISAs; mint_zuse running.

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).

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.

Asks for a stick, shows its size, writes nothing until YES; then gpt_write_one, the partition's first devblocks zeroed, a fresh Zuse minted, read back, and only then the marker's real key. Any failure before the marker: 'failed -- nothing changed'. The gate remembers the last stick it turned away as a spare, offered first by the next mint. Builds on three ISAs; not yet called.

sk_v4_identity_offer_wait() beats until a stick that is not this system's arrives (offered), a key is pressed, or the system stick leaves; sk_v4_identity_recheck_offered() runs the arrival check again once the mint has written it. Builds on three ISAs; not yet called.

The old MBR zeroed first, the backup header and entries, the primary, the protective MBR last: a write torn anywhere leaves no table. Builds clean on amd64, aarch64, riscv64; checked on the host against blank 600 MiB and 32 MiB images and a used Zuse stick (sfdisk --verify clean, gpt_read reads it back). Not yet called.
