rajamesandClaude Opus 5.5 4a505a154d feat(v4.0.0): storage speaks messages -- a device over v3's block chains, common and private
What is on a storage port (v4/system/storage.c): it takes Block read,
Block write and Block data and answers Block data or Block done.  It
holds a view of a common chain, a private chain, or both; private block k
is number 2^32 - 1 - k.  Behind it is v3's block subsystem, reached
through v4/system/store_v3.c, the one v4 file that includes v3's headers.

v3's block code links here with its two device back ends, its log and
its clock, and nothing else of v3.

v4/tests/test_store.c: 36 checks at 64 bits, 35 at 32, and under the
sanitizers.  docs/v4.0.0/MESH.md 8.3, 8.4.

/* message.h -- a message, as it is written to a port and read from one.
* docs/v4.0.0/MESH.md section 6.
*
* The ports are the transport; the message is what is transported. It is
* v3's Hermes message with what it carries, a word at a time:
*
* word 0 to: the node it is for
* word 1 from: the node that sent it
* word 2 type
* word 3 heat and TTL
* word 4 ACL tag: the sender's identity fingerprint
* word 5 sequence
* word 6 how many characters of text follow, 0 to 1024
* word 7.. the text, four characters to a word, the first lowest
*
* Words 3, 4 and 5 are carried and not yet used: checking them is the
* router's, and awaits rulings (MESH.md section 3).
*
* This is for whatever is on the other end of a node's port and is not a
* node -- a console, a host -- to speak what the nodes speak (v4/capsule/
* core.v4 and quit.v4 are the same thing in the node). Nothing here uses
* the C library.
