Claude 3bd81097e1 chore(license): an SPDX header on every source file that had none (LicenseRef-Starship-1.0) [skip ci]
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).

253 files now begin

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.

Build-time and integration-test utilities for the StarForth / LithosAnanke toolchain.

Contents

File Purpose
mkcapsule.c Assembles .4th capsule files into capsule_generated.c baked into the kernel image. Invoked automatically by kernel/Makefile.
mkcapsule Compiled host binary (rebuilt on demand).
ttftest.c Host TTF glyph-rendering test — font rasterization unit tests, no QEMU needed.
pe_reloc_gen.py Generates PE32+ relocation tables for the UEFI loader.
svg_to_png.py Renders every tracked .svg in the repo to a same-named .png via headless Chromium; leaves the source .svg untouched, run manually.
hermes_smoke.sh Hermes v1 hosted smoke test — swaps in the Hermes init capsule and prints values for manual inspection.
hermes_channel_smoke.sh Exercises the full Hermes channel-negotiation lifecycle (CH-REQUEST → CH-ACCEPT → CH-CLOSE → reap) per the protocol in .claude/HERMES.md.
hermes_tripod_smoke.sh Full Tripod integration test — exercises all 6 inter-VM message paths using the DEFER VM-EXEC/IS VM-EXEC dispatcher shim from init.4th.
kconfig/ Vendored Linux kernel Kconfig tooling (conf/mconf/qconf), GPL-2.0. See tools/kconfig/README.md.

mkcapsule

# Invoked automatically by the kernel build:
make -f kernel/Makefile ARCH=amd64 clean qemu

# Manual invocation (for inspection):
./tools/mkcapsule capsules/ build/amd64/kernel/capsule_generated.c

Scans capsules/ for .4th files, computes XXHash64 per capsule, assigns type (m) to init.4th and (p) to everything else.
