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.

tools/
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.
