Replaces STADIUM_MAX_VM_COUNT (Kconfig, hardcoded default 4) with a
boot-time computation, mirroring the pattern stadium_boot_init() already
used for the cell pool. New Kconfig STADIUM_VM_MEMORY_PERCENT (default
50): max_vm_count = (kmalloc_get_stats().free_bytes after the cell array
* STADIUM_VM_MEMORY_PERCENT / 100) / VM_MEMORY_SIZE, floored to 1, no
ceiling (population is not knowable in advance - could be 4, could be
4000). stadium_quotas and word_slots (plus stat_promotions/stat_evictions)
are now kmalloc'd to the computed count instead of declared with a macro.
New accessor stadium_max_vm_count() replaces every STADIUM_MAX_VM_COUNT
reference, including capsule_birth.c's birth-refusal gate.

Two things found and fixed along the way:

- The existing cell-pool budget was sourced from pmm_get_stats(), which
  reflects physical pages PMM hasn't handed to any subsystem yet - but
  the actual allocation is kmalloc(), which draws from the separate,
  fixed-size heap kmalloc_init() (M6) already carved out of PMM before
  stadium_boot_init() ever runs. Budgeting against PMM's leftover and
  allocating from the kmalloc heap are two different pools. Both the
  cell budget and the new VM-count budget now source from
  kmalloc_get_stats() instead.

- stadium_owner[] (which VM's quota owns each cell) was uint8_t, capped
  at 255 slots by a compile-time assert tied to the old macro. Widened
  to uint16_t (65535 slots of headroom) with a runtime clamp + log if
  the computed count ever exceeds that, since there's no ceiling anymore.

Three-arch QEMU acceptance: all clean to ok>, computed VM count genuinely
differs by actual available RAM (amd64/riscv64: 50 slots at -m 1024,
aarch64: 101 slots), Stadium conservation invariant identical across all
three (resident_sum=43691 reservoir=21845 sum=65536).

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 3d0b9351bd starkernel: item 4.1 -- hot words onto the Stadium, density-ranked eviction
Punch list §25 item 4.1 complete.
Replaces the round-robin hotwords cache with Stadium density-ranked
admission/eviction on the kernel side, via the §17.7 reservoir mechanism and a
kernel-side word_id -> cell_index map (no DictEntry change, dict_hash
untouched). Adds stadium_birth_hera() to close the cell-0 panic hazard,
STADIUM_WORD_HEAT_QUANTUM/STADIUM_WORD_COOL_RATE_Q48 Kconfig knobs (flagged
untuned), and a stadium_word_forget() FORGET coherence hook to close a
recycled-word_id aliasing gap.

Verified: all five hotwords_cache_* call sites in dictionary_management.c
bypassed under __STARKERNEL__; word dispatch feeds the Stadium at all three
vm_core.c physics_execution_heat_increment() sites; hosted make unaffected;
all three architectures booted to ok> with matching dict_hash
(0x3d4e1daf289da94f) and matching conservation stats (promotions=354
evictions=0, resident_sum=65536 reservoir=0 sum=65536).

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 eb0fd4fffa starkernel: item 3.2 -- Stadium boot-time allocation
Punch list §25 item 3.2 complete.

stadium_boot_init() (src/starkernel/vm/stadium.c) sizes the global
cell array at boot from a real memory-budget query rather than a
hardcoded count: pmm_get_stats().free_bytes at the point of
allocation, times the new STADIUM_MEMORY_PERCENT Kconfig symbol
(default 1%), rounded down to whole 64-byte cells. Matches §17.6's
position (b) literally. Also allocates the header/continuation
discriminator bitmap item 3.1 declared but did not allocate. Both are
kmalloc'd and explicitly zero-filled (kmalloc does not zero).

Called from kernel_main.c immediately before sk_vm_bootstrap_parity(),
i.e. before any VM exists (§6). Failure is soft -- logs and continues,
does not halt boot -- matching the existing precedent one line below
it (VM bootstrap parity failure does the same).

Added a "Stadium: N cells (M KB)" boot console line at the allocation
site so the acceptance logs are evidence the array was actually
allocated, not just that the kernel still boots -- the same blind spot
item 3.1's uncompiled-header gap exposed.

Verified: three-architecture boot (amd64, aarch64, riscv64), all
reaching ok> with identical dict_hash=0x3d4e1daf289da94f matching the
item-3.1 baseline, and the Stadium boot line confirmed present in all
three serial logs (amd64: 74234 cells/4639 KB, aarch64: 161329
cells/10083 KB, riscv64: 76122 cells/4757 KB).

Not built here, reported per §25.0 rule 3: per-VM free lists (§22.3)
-- granted when Hera assigns quota, not this item's scope.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 1b2f0677de starkernel: item 3.1 reopened -- two Kconfig symbols items 1.1/1.4 deferred here
Punch list §25 item 3.1 re-closed after reopening.

Items 1.1 and 1.4's resolutions both explicitly named this item as
where their Kconfig symbols would be implemented, but 3.1's own stated
scope never mentioned them, so the first close missed both:

- STADIUM_CONTAINS_DEPTH_MAX (default 5) -- item 1.1's contains-chain
  depth cap. No consumer yet; reap-gating enforcement is item 3.5.
- STADIUM_CAPACITY_TICK (default 1000) -- item 1.4's capacity
  arbitration cadence in virtual ticks. No consumer yet; capacity
  arbitration itself is not on the punch list.

Both added following STADIUM_MAX_VM_COUNT's exact pattern:
Kconfig.kernel entry, Makefile.starkernel kconfig_int +
VM_FEATURE_FLAG_VARS forwarding, starforth_config.h fallback default.
stadium.h now includes starforth_config.h and carries two more
C99-portable compile-time checks proving both symbols are defined and
sane, same discipline as the byte-count checks. Declaration only --
not inventing the consuming logic to close this out early.

Verified: three-architecture boot (amd64, aarch64, riscv64), all
reaching ok> with identical dict_hash=0x3d4e1daf289da94f, re-run after
the reopening.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 b0416794de starkernel: item 2.2 complete -- bound the VM registry
Wires the birth-refusal check into capsule_birth_baby(): calls
vm_registry_live_count() (added in the prior WIP commit) between
capsule validation and vm_registry_alloc(), returning the new
CAPSULE_RUN_ERR_FLEET_FULL and logging via
capsule_parity_log_birth_failed() before any EMBRYO registry slot is
consumed.

Also fixes a gap in that WIP commit: STADIUM_MAX_VM_COUNT was only
ever defined via a Kconfig .config-driven -D flag, with no fallback
default the way every sibling knob in starforth_config.h has -- a
build with no .config present (this one) failed with the macro
undeclared. Added STARFORTH_CONFIG_STADIUM_MAX_VM_COUNT_DEFAULT (4,
matching Kconfig.kernel) following the existing HEARTBEAT_INFERENCE_FREQUENCY
pattern exactly.

All three architectures boot clean to ok> with dict_hash=0x3d4e1daf289da94f,
matching the item-0.10/2.1 baseline. FABRIC.md item 2.2 checked off.
