+  > **PROCESS CORRECTION 2026-08-14/15 — the word-source coverage sweep below should have
+  > been tracked here from the start and was not; recorded now, retroactively, per §25.0's
+  > own rule that new findings/decisions land in this document.** Across several sessions
+  > (2026-08-14 through 2026-08-15) the proof suite was extended file-by-file to cover
+  > every file in `src/word_source/*.c` (34 files; `q48_16_words.c` deliberately excluded,
+  > it's the underlying math library, not a FORTH words file) — this was a *different* goal
+  > from 5.2's original "one datatype, one index space, one conservation theorem" framing
+  > (a Stadium-cell-model proof), and got tracked only in session memory instead of here.
+  > That memory is `project_isabelle_hol_proof_suite.md` in this machine's Claude memory
+  > store, if the full blow-by-blow is ever needed; the summary below is what matters for
+  > this document.
+  >
+  > **Sweep complete, commit `346c793`: all of `src/word_source/*.c` covered, 53 theories
+  > green.** Two deliverables followed, `proof/FINDINGS.md` (commit `3426d6a`) and
+  > `proof/COVERAGE.md` (same commit) — an aggregated cross-cutting-findings write-up and a
+  > coverage/purpose index, both requested by Captain Bob once the sweep was far enough
+  > along.
+  >
+  > **Repair pass, commit `dfdabcc` — low-risk defects only, per Captain Bob's explicit
+  > scope call.** `DECAY-RATE@` (`physics_freeze_words.c`) had a genuine missing
+  > stack-overflow guard (raw push, no `ds_full` check, unlike its neighbors in the same
+  > file) — fixed. Removed `dictionary_manipulation_words.c`'s dead, permanently-shadowed
+  > `[`/`]`/`STATE` and `defining_words.c`'s dead, permanently-shadowed `DEFER`/`IS`/
+  > `DEFER@` (plus the now-orphaned `defining_runtime_defer` helper, which would have
+  > triggered an unused-static-function warning under `-Wall -Werror` if left behind) —
+  > both confirmed unreachable via `word_registry.c`'s registration order and FORTH's
+  > newest-first dictionary lookup, zero behavior change. **Correction caught mid-pass and
+  > worth recording**: ~14 of the sweep's ~15 "missing overflow guard" findings turned out
+  > to be false positives — `vm_push()`/`VM_PUSH` already bounds-check internally in every
+  > build this repo currently ships (`STARFORTH_PERFORMANCE`, the one flag that would
+  > disable that check, is never defined by any Makefile/Kconfig target here) — the proof
+  > model just hadn't credited that. Corrected in the `.thy` files and `FINDINGS.md`, not
+  > silently left overstated. Three-architecture QEMU acceptance: all three booted clean to
+  > `ok>` with an **identical** `dict_hash=0x24b4279f0670aa3a` and identical
+  > `1003/965/0/0` self-test totals — `logs/20260814-195128/amd64`,

+  > **Coverage-sweep continuation into structural gaps, commits `cc46cf8`/`1aca77d`/
+  > `d3d66fb`/`d59a913` — proof-only, no C changes, no QEMU boot needed for these.**
+  > Dictionary insertion (`vm_create_word`) had never been modelled anywhere in the
+  > suite — every prior file only ever *read* the abstract `dictionary` table.
+  > `dict_insert_entry` now models the word_id-assignment/table/`latest_id`/
+  > `word_id_next`-counter mechanism, reusing a `word_id_next` field that had been declared
+  > in `StarForth_Base.thy` since early in the sweep but never once written. Separately,
+  > `input_buffer`/`input_length`/`input_pos` (the TIB) turned out to be plain per-VM
+  > array/scalar fields, not host pointers as assumed everywhere else in the sweep, and
+  > `vm_parse_word` a pure scan — modelled as `forth_parse_word`. Composed together
+  > (plus a new `de_df :: cell` field on `dict_entry` and `dict_write_df` for the
+  > data-field write, and `current_executing_word_id` on `vm_state`), **CREATE, VARIABLE,
+  > and CONSTANT are now the first three fully-modelled words in
+  > `StarForth_Defining_Words.thy`** — guard through parse through insertion through the
+  > data-field write, matching the real C exactly, nothing left unmodelled per word except
+  > the pin-shadow name-scan guard (sidestepped via an explicit `bool` parameter, the same
+  > technique already used for the XT-pop gap elsewhere in this suite). `:` and DEFER are
+  > closed to the same point minus one remaining per-word gap each (`:` needs a
+  > `vm->compiling_word`-tracking field that doesn't exist yet; DEFER's own runtime is a
+  > structurally different DF usage — dispatch reassignment via a stored pointer, not a
+  > plain value). Full suite: 54 theories, green. Not yet done: IS/DEFER@ (need the
+  > FIND-family name-resolution gap first), the vocabulary-chain mechanics, the
