Claude 9415d7ede3 fix: put-backs no longer name the untracked version.h (#145)
90c5c140 untracked v3/include/version.h, but six places still put it back
with git checkout. Git refuses the whole checkout when one path is unknown:

- scripts/nightly.sh images (set -e): the stage ended there, so the nightly
  (images, publish, proofs) and release.yml (images, docs, gitea-release)
  would fail. Acceptance does not run images, so it passed.
- scripts/check_images.sh (no -e), demo/build-iso.sh, demo/mint-zuse.sh
  (|| true): silently put nothing back, BLOCK_MAP.md and the SBOM included.
- scripts/qemu_session.py: an error after every boot, otherwise harmless.
- boards/BRINGUP.md: the step said to put it back.

BLOCK_MAP.md stays in every put-back: a signed build (CI's) still rewrites
its Signed column. Found while setting up alpha.5; Captain Bob: fix it.

boards/

One directory per physical target. make boot_image TARGET=<NAME> (repo root) maps the name to a directory here, reads its board.mk, and builds the single file that goes on that board's boot medium into build/boards/<board>/.

TARGET Directory ISA Boot path Image
PC pc/ amd64 UEFI firmware, removable-media path -- any x86-64 PC GPT + FAT32 ESP: EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI
RASPI raspi/ aarch64 Pi 5 EEPROM firmware, native MBR + FAT32: config.txt, kernel_2712.img, bcm2712-rpi-5-b.dtb
MILKV milkv/ riscv64 SPI-flash U-Boot + OpenSBI, bootefi GPT + FAT32 ESP: EFI/BOOT/BOOTRISCV64.EFI
ZYNQ7020 zynq7020/ armv7 BootROM, BOOT.BIN, U-Boot not yet: needs kernel/src/arch/armv7

board.mk sets:

  • BOARD_DESC: one-line description (make boards)
  • BOARD_ARCH: kernel ISA (kernel/src/arch/<arch>)
  • BOARD_BOOT: image recipe in kernel/Makefile (uefi-esp, rpi-native, ...)
  • BOARD_IMAGE: output file name

Disk images are assembled by scripts/mkdiskimage.sh, which needs no root access and no loop devices. KERNEL_ARGS="..." is written as starforth.cfg (UEFI boards) or cmdline.txt (Pi 5, where the firmware copies it into /chosen/bootargs). BOOT_IMAGE_SIZE_MIB sets the image size; the default is 128.

Hardware status: none of these images has been booted on real silicon from this build. The PC image has been booted in QEMU (q35 + OVMF, from its own disk) through POST. (PC was named SER5 until 2026-10-14, after the first PC on the bench; the image was never specific to it.) The Pi 5 native path (raspi/README.md) and the JH7110 peripherals have still only been checked by compiling.
