Claude 5bb247d678 wip(kernel): Artemis grows to fill the stick at its first boot -- metadata only, capped at 256 GiB (#92, Task 2) [skip ci]
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.

src/

Hosted StarForth VM implementation (compiled by the root Makefile). Bare-metal kernel sources live in src/starkernel/; FORTH word implementations in src/word_source/; the test harness in src/test_runner/; platform shims in src/platform/.

Entry point / interpreter core

  • main.c — CLI entry point, VM init, DoE mode dispatch.
  • vm.c — interpreter loop, stacks, dictionary state (the central runtime file).
  • vm_api.c — external VM API implementation.
  • vm_bootstrap.c — VM bootstrap initialization.
  • vm_debug.c — debugging utilities.
  • vm_time.c — time-related VM operations.
  • vm_internal.h — internal-only declarations shared across the vm_*.c files, not part of the public include/vm_api.h surface.
  • repl.c — REPL read-eval-print loop.
  • cli.c — CLI argument parsing.
  • io.c — I/O operations.
  • log.c — logging infrastructure.

Memory / dictionary / blocks

  • memory_management.c — dictionary allocator.
  • dictionary_management.c — dictionary allocation and search.
  • dictionary_heat_optimization.c — Loop #1 execution-heat tracking.
  • word_registry.c — word registration system.
  • block_subsystem.c — logical→physical block mapper.
  • blkio_file.c, blkio_ram.c, blkio_factory.c — block I/O backends (file-backed, RAM-backed) and the factory that selects between them.
  • stack_management.c — stack operations.

Physics-driven adaptive runtime (7 feedback loops)

  • physics_runtime.c — main physics coordinator.
  • physics_hotwords_cache.c — Loop #1 hot-words caching.
  • physics_metadata.c — per-word metadata tracking.
  • physics_pipelining_metrics.c — Loop #4 word-transition prediction.
  • physics_execution_hooks.c — execution instrumentation.
  • rolling_window_of_truth.c — Loop #2 circular execution-history buffer.
  • inference_engine.c — Loops #5/#6, statistical inference (window-width, decay-slope).
  • ssm_jacquard.c — L8 Jacquard steady-state mode selector; consumes compudynamics.c for tuning-word/config lookups.
  • compudynamics.c — generic compudynamics module (cd_tuning_word(), cd_tuning_vm()); the score/UCB/reward/weight constants for the L8 adaptive table live here, not in ssm_jacquard.c.
  • heartbeat_export.c — heartbeat metrics export (CSV export function itself not yet implemented — see docs/working/architecture/heartbeat_csv_export.md).

Math / measurement

  • math_portable.c — portable math functions.
  • profiler.c — performance profiling.
  • doe_metrics.c — Design of Experiments metrics (2^7 factorial).

Any .bak file alongside a .c file here (doe_metrics.c.bak, inference_engine.c.bak, vm.c.bak) is a pre-edit backup left by a past maintenance script (see scripts/remove_loop_conditionals.sh), not a build input.
