starkernel: converge the tick path and wire the adaptive heartbeat (item 0.8)
Introduces src/starkernel/heartbeat.c as the shared top/bottom-half implementation of heartbeat_init/tick/service/ticks/trust/state, replacing the per-architecture duplicates in amd64/riscv64/aarch64 timer.c. Each arch's timer.c now contributes only heartbeat_read_counter() (rdtsc / rdtime / CNTPCT_EL0). Per the GAP-A1 ruling the top half stays counter+ latch only; heartbeat_service() (called every REPL idle iteration, unconditionally per FABRIC.md's fidelity note) does the window/variance/ trust work outside interrupt context. vm_tick()'s call sites are unchanged -- the engine still runs on the virtual tick. Per FABRIC.md §26 (ruled 2026-08-03): wires Loop #7's execution-derived stable/volatile signal into the physical re-arm period. vm_runtime.c's existing Loop #7 site now calls heartbeat_set_adaptive_period_ns() with tick_target_ns ratio-rescaled onto a 10ms kernel base (not the hosted 10us HEARTBEAT_TICK_NS -- see §26.3 for the scale mismatch). Each architecture's re-arm function (apic_timer_rearm() on amd64/aarch64, riscv64_timer_rearm()) now converts heartbeat_next_period_ns() to its own raw counter units instead of a fixed constant; amd64 gained a rearm function it didn't previously need, since periodic-mode auto-reload never required one before this item. Verified: all three architectures build with no new warnings and boot cleanly to ok> with dict_hash=0x3d4e1daf289da94f, unchanged from the pre-change baseline -- no regression. Verified NOT achieved: live re-arm period variation under load. A temporary diagnostic (added and reverted) confirmed Loop #7 never actually fired during a live QEMU session -- a synthetic word-execution loop drove ~6,500 executions, past the 1000-tick inference frequency, without tripping vm_tick_inference_engine()'s pre-existing !vm->rolling_window.is_warm gate. That gate predates this item and was not investigated -- out of scope. FABRIC.md's Done-when is amended to record this honestly rather than claim it. Punch list §25 item 0.8 complete (per amended, weaker acceptance -- see the item's own annotation). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
