Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 28c1b12c7f Wire homeblocks_sig_check() into USB attach: the warn half (Phase 8)
Wired into sk_repl_idle()'s USB hotplug attach handler, right between
blkio_usb_open_msc() succeeding and blk_subsys_attach_device() -- logs
a distinct message per outcome (recognized / blank-or-foreign /
bad-version / bad-crc / read-error).

The "refuse" half is deliberately not implemented -- there is nothing
real to gate yet. blkio_usb.c has no SCSI WRITE(10) support at all, so
there is no write path today to refuse; attach currently only enables
read-only access, which is also the general-purpose USB block I/O
path this repo already relies on for unrelated testing, not
exclusively a home-blocks identity workflow. Refusing attach on blank
media would break that legitimate use without protecting anything
real -- same "don't build ahead of a real caller" reasoning EXPIRE's
deferral used. Refuse belongs on the write path once WRITE(10) exists.

sig_start_fblock is hardcoded to 0 at the call site -- correct for
today's unpartitioned raw test/real media (no GPT parser exists yet),
flagged in the comment as the one place that changes once a real
GPT-partition-relative lookup exists, isolated from
homeblocks_sig.c's own location-agnostic check logic.

Verified live: hot-attached disk/usb-thumbdrive-test.img (blank media)
through a running amd64 instance's QMP socket (blockdev-add +
device_add usb-storage) -- captured exactly 4 real TUR+READ10 BOT
cycles (matching the header's 4 forth-block span) followed by the
correct "not recognized" warning, then normal attach completing
successfully afterward (no regression). Conservation intact, no
panic. Clean zero-warning compile and clean boot on all three
architectures.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 2c45744995 Implement homeblocks_sig_check(): the drive signature check (Phase 8)
Real, complete verification logic -- not yet wired to any write path.
homeblocks_sig_check(dev, sig_start_fblock, out_sig) reads the 4
consecutive 1KB blkio forth-blocks the 4KB header spans, verifies
magic -> version -> CRC-64 in order, returns HOMEBLOCKS_SIG_OK/_BLANK/
_BAD_VERSION/_BAD_CRC/_READ_ERROR. Reuses block_subsystem.c's existing
CRC-64/ISO (compute_crc64, previously static/file-local, now exposed
via block_subsystem.h) rather than a second CRC implementation --
same algorithm already proven via per-block checksums. Takes the
header's starting block as a plain parameter rather than resolving it
internally: verifies a signature given a location, finding that
location (GPT-partition-relative) stays the caller's job.

Verified against the actual shipped code, not a reimplementation: a
standalone host test links the real homeblocks_sig.c against a fake
in-memory blkio_dev and exercises all four outcomes -- blank media,
a correctly-minted header (round-trips drive_uuid/minted_time_ns), a
flipped CRC, an unrecognized version. All four pass. A full
QEMU-hotplug live test isn't proportionate yet since nothing calls
this function from the live kernel path -- wiring it into the attach
path is the next punch-list item. Clean zero-warning compile and
clean boot on all three architectures confirms no build/link
regression from exposing compute_crc64 and adding the new source
file to every kernel build.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 10b96870c5 Add homeblocks_sig.h: drive signature header struct (Phase 8 kickoff)
Implements the design from the previous commit as-is: homeblocks_sig_t
(4096 bytes, magic+version+drive_uuid+timestamp+cert/blockmap offset
reservations+real hdr_crc), HOMEBLOCKS_SIG_PACK/_GET_MAGIC/_GET_VERSION
macros mirroring CAPSULE_MAGIC_PACK's bit layout, and a C99
compile-time size assertion matching stadium.h's own discipline.

Verified standalone (sizeof == 4096, clean under -std=c99 -Wall
-Wextra -Werror) -- nothing consumes this header yet, so no
functional kernel change and no 3-arch acceptance boot needed for this
step.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 7cbf92ac8f FABRIC-3.md: design the home-blocks drive signature format (Phase 8 kickoff)
Mirrors CAPSULE_MAGIC_PACK's bit-packed magic and blk_volume_meta_t's
magic+version+fields+pad-to-4096 structural convention exactly, per
the punch-list item's own direction. Lives at the first 4KiB devblock
of the ~1GB GPT metadata partition -- format doesn't depend on the
still-missing GPT parser.

Deliberately narrow: identifies/authenticates the drive only, does not
invent the block-map or credential/cert formats -- reserves offset/
size pointers to where they'll live instead of embedding them, since
neither format is designed yet (block-map is Milestone 3, cert format
needs Milestone 6's still-ungenerated real CA). hdr_crc is real from
day one, unlike blk_volume_meta_t's unused placeholder, since this
header's whole job is gating the warn-and-refuse security check.

Design only, not yet implemented as a header file -- presented for
confirmation first.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 d95258ec65 .claude/CLAUDE.md: correct the stale ACL-RWT overhead figure
The June 2026 campaign's +0.0054%-0.0088% number was cited as current,
but it measured the wrong thing under the wrong name -- the
Rolling-Window-of-Truth mechanism it was named after was dead code,
never reachable, and the measurement itself predates real compiler
optimization. Kept the original entry for historical record, added a
correction pointing to the actual current figure: +0.0603% ACL-TTL
enforcement overhead (FABRIC-2.md SS T), the same closure just applied
to FABRIC-3.md's stale re-measurement punch-list item.

Corrects bookkeeping, not measurement. FABRIC-2.md Sections M-T
(2026-08-19/21) already re-ran this and found the original "ACL-RWT"
name was itself wrong -- the Rolling-Window-of-Truth mechanism it
named was dead code removed 2026-07-08, never reachable. What the
campaign actually measured was the live ACL-TTL mechanism. Final
accepted result: +0.0603% ACL-TTL enforcement overhead,
architecture-independent, CV=0.000% (FABRIC-2.md SS T,
project_acl_ttl_overhead_final.md). The checkbox was simply never
marked done when that work concluded -- no new campaign run.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 cbe7b49a59 Documentation debt sweep: 5 of 6 items resolved, 1 confirmed accurate
- docs/lithosananke/ROADMAP.md + M7.1.md: fixed stale "Branch: lithosananke"
  (no such branch post-split), M7.1's "Design Complete" status (shipped
  and live, redirected to FABRIC*.md), the M8/success-criteria
  self-contradiction (OBSOLETE marking vs. unqualified live criterion),
  and the stale AHCI/SATA claim for M9 (real implementation is
  virtio_blk.c) -- also corrected BLOCK/BUFFER/UPDATE/FLUSH and block
  device abstraction to [x] since both are confirmed live in
  src/word_source/block_words.c and block_subsystem.c.
- Top-level ROADMAP.md: marked OBSOLETE (Captain Bob's call -- more than
  "stale," the architecture/branch topology/terminology it describes no
  longer exist), pointing to docs/lithosananke/ROADMAP.md and
  FABRIC*.md for current status.
- docs/03-architecture/word-acl/DESIGN.md: fixed the ACL Phase 7
  contradiction -- Phase 7 (LithosAnanke kernel parity) is independently
  verified complete per .claude/CLAUDE.md, not "remaining"; removed the
  stale lithosananke-branch-parity framing.
- VM-FLEET-ATTRACTOR-DESIGN-20260705.md's doe-campaign.4th "broken" claim:
  investigated, ran SMOKE-CAMPAIGN live (completes clean, fleet heat
  conserved) -- initially read as contradicting the claim, corrected
  directly by Captain Bob: a clean execution trace doesn't disprove the
  doc's actual argument (no real controlled-experimental-factor
  mechanism). Confirmed accurate, left untouched.
- Isabelle/HOL pipeline-metrics model/C-struct mismatch: confirmed a real
  proof-modeling gap (pm_last_accuracy_num/den has no analogue in the
  real PipelineGlobalMetrics struct), not stale prose -- tracked here
  rather than fixed, matching the .thy file's own scope boundary and
  this project's standing caution that each Isabelle gap needs its own
  subsystem model.

ACL-RWT DoE overhead re-measurement (the 6th item) intentionally not
started -- a full multi-architecture DoE campaign, not a doc-text fix,
holding for explicit confirmation given the scale.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 6341b3b3dd FABRIC-3.md: decide EXPIRE's design questions -- defer to Phase 8
Decided directly on request, no code written. "ACLs -> EXPIRE" isn't
wrong in spirit but was aimed at the wrong unit: acl_ttl-hits-zero
always renews (never revokes), so it can't carry EXPIRE's
residency-ending meaning. The unit that actually has a real lifetime
and should be revoked is a zuse superuser session (Phase 8, not yet
built) -- authenticate, hold elevated privilege for a bounded time,
then actually drop back to non-zuse.

Resolves to: admit the session (not a per-word ACL entry, which would
be redundant with item 4.1's existing word patrons) as the Stadium
patron, once Phase 8 exists. Not in scope now -- there is no session
to admit regardless of any other choice, and building Stadium's
missing generic ttl-decrement/reap mechanism ahead of its only real
consumer would be speculative infrastructure, the same shape of
premature build the no-stubs standard exists to prevent, just
inverted. EXPIRE stays explicitly deferred until Phase 8 lands, with
a concrete trigger for revisiting it -- not abandoned, not left
ambiguous.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 329677b077 Fix COOL's misleading (stub) label too
Same fix as DELIVER, on request. COOL is real and live for both words
(item 4.1) and VMs (this session) -- stadium_evict()'s own universal
reservoir credit is the whole of what "cooling off the floor" means
for both, no extra payload action needed. stadium_dispatch()'s COOL
case now prints the departing patron's identity (word_id for a word,
0 -- the patron-zero convention -- for a VM) instead of "(stub)".

Verified live: both shapes fired correctly on the same boot --
"COOL identity=0" at Hermes's/Artemis's own explicit channel-eviction
self-test and again at their VM-patron eviction at PARITY:KILL,
"COOL identity=1" at a second channel eviction -- conservation intact
throughout. Clean zero-warning compile and clean boot with
conservation intact on all three architectures.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 89723793fe FABRIC-3.md: full EXPIRE scoping -- two findings, four open design questions
Investigated on request. acl_ttl (DictEntry, per-word ACL-RECHECK
amortization) and StadiumPatronHeader.ttl (residency countdown) are
different mechanisms wearing the same name -- ACL-RECHECK always
renews (allow=1, fresh ttl), never revokes, so it doesn't resemble a
reap event at all. Separately, StadiumPatronHeader.ttl is completely
inert across the whole codebase: every candidate constructor sets it
to 0, nothing ever reads or decrements it -- the generic TTL-expiry
mechanism EXPIRE would fire from doesn't exist in Stadium's own engine
yet, a gap one level deeper than "ACL isn't wired to Stadium."

Recorded four open questions that need a real decision before any
code: whether "ACL patron" is even the right model, what unit would
be admitted (redundant per-word vs. a session-scoped patron once
Phase 8 PKI/zuse work lands), whether building Stadium's missing
generic ttl-reap mechanism is in scope here, and what the reap action
should actually do given ACL policy never revokes today.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 ad9b9d0c7b Fix DELIVER's misleading (stub) label -- it was never actually a gap
Re-scoped on request. capsules/hermes/init.4th's MSG-ALLOC already
admits every message onto Stadium with SB-DELIVER, and MSG-FREE-NODE
(called from both MSG-ACK-LAST and heat-driven MSG-REAP) already
evicts it -- "behaviour=DELIVER (stub)" has been printing on boot logs
since at least 2026-08-05. The earlier "zero consumer, needs
substantial Hermes lifecycle mapping work" framing was wrong,
carried over unverified from FABRIC.md's old "open, not resolved" note
about which Hermes event maps to DELIVER vs. EXPIRE -- item 4.2
already answered that in code without the prose catching up. Same
documentation-drift class as the stale ONTOLOGY.md words note and the
earlier glibc misattribution.

Checked whether the dispatch body needed a real payload action the way
MIGRATE did: MSG-DELIVER (the FORTH word) already runs the actual
delivery (VM-EXEC of the payload) before eviction, decoupled from
Stadium reap -- so by dispatch time delivery is already done, same
shape as COOL, which needs no extra action beyond stadium_evict()'s
own universal reservoir credit.

Fix: stadium_dispatch()'s DELIVER case now prints the departing
message's real identity (DELIVER msg_idx=N, same shape as MIGRATE's
lbn= print) instead of a misleading (stub) label. COOL is in the
identical situation (real for both words and VMs) but left as-is --
out of scope for this pass, noted in stadium.c's own comment.

Also confirmed EXPIRE (ACL) is genuinely unscoped, not stale docs like
DELIVER turned out to be -- zero Stadium involvement anywhere in
ACL.4th/acl_recheck()/the ACL design doc. Stays open pending real
design decisions.

Verified live via a forced MSG-SEND/MSG-DELIVER-ALL/MSG-ACK-LAST
sequence from Hermes's own REPL context ("USE" now works after the
previous fix): "Stadium: dispatch cell=73653 behaviour=DELIVER
msg_idx=1". Clean zero-warning compile and clean boot with
conservation intact on all three architectures.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 3e0966095c Stadium: real VM-patron admission + real COOL dispatch at KILL (FABRIC-3.md §B)
capsule_vm_kill() had zero Stadium involvement (vm_cleanup()/sf_free()
only), and child-VM birth only ever called stadium_grant_quota() -- a
resource pool for the VM's own future word/block patrons, never
stadium_admit() for the VM itself. stadium_birth_hera() looked like a
precedent but admits Hera into her own quota as a permanently pinned
cell 0, which can never reach stadium_evict() -- not a working example
of COOL firing for a VM.

Adds size_t stadium_patron_cell to VMRegistryEntry. At birth, right
after the existing stadium_grant_quota() call, admits a candidate into
the new VM's own quota mirroring stadium_birth_hera()'s shape
(identity=0, mass=1, behaviour=COOL) but deliberately unpinned --
pinning would need a new "unpin" primitive (none exists) to ever evict
it later, and unpinned costs nothing since nothing wires COOL's
dispatch body to kill anything; the worst case of an unrelated natural
eviction is stale bookkeeping, tolerated the same way
stadium_word_forget() already tolerates staleness elsewhere. At
capsule_vm_kill() and capsule_vm_kill_all_nonmama(): stadium_evict()
the tracked cell if still resident, silently tolerating refusal
(already gone). stadium_dispatch()'s COOL case needed no new payload
body -- same as it already is for words, where COOL has no defined
extra action beyond stadium_evict()'s own universal reservoir credit.

On investigation this turned out not to be entangled with the
still-iterating Tripod/Zuse/messaging vision after all -- birth and
kill already funnel through two single choke points, so the earlier
deferral (previous commit) was overcautious.

Verified live: a second, new "Stadium: dispatch cell=... behaviour=
COOL" now fires immediately before every PARITY:KILL line, for both
Hermes and Artemis, distinct from the pre-existing COMMON-CH
word-eviction self-test's own COOL print. Conservation
(resident_sum + reservoir == Q48_ONE) intact throughout. Clean
zero-warning compile and clean boot on all three architectures.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 af1eb0ca2d Fix USE/RUN dictionary shadowing: remove dead lib.4th aliases
capsules/lib.4th:13-14 defined ": USE ( addr u -- ) EXEC ;" and the
same for RUN, shadowing the C-registered mama_word_use()/RUN primitives
(CLAUDE.md names both, with BIRTH, as untouchable C primitives) with an
unrelated "load/exec a capsule" meaning. This broke the interactive
USE-based VM-redirect (S" Artemis" USE printed "EXEC: failed: Artemis"
instead of redirecting), discovered while chasing FABRIC-3.md's
live-MIGRATE verification.

Traced every real caller before touching anything: RUN's alias was
dead code, never called anywhere as bare RUN. USE's alias had exactly
one real caller -- capsules/hermes/init.4th:397, intentionally
exploiting the shadow to load common:msg.4th right after lib.4th
itself loaded. Both aliases were pure EXEC wrappers with zero added
behavior, so this deletes both definitions outright and switches the
one real call site (plus its matching doc comment in
capsules/common/msg.4th) to call EXEC directly. No new names invented,
the C primitives untouched.

Verified live: Hermes still births and her COMMON-CH-eviction
self-test (depends on common:msg.4th having loaded) still passes;
interactively, S" Artemis" USE now correctly redirects the REPL and
prints "USE: now using Artemis". mkcapsule --lint clean (31/31).
Clean compile and clean boot with Stadium conservation intact
(resident_sum + reservoir == Q48_ONE) on all three architectures.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 0f683c15fd FABRIC-3.md: close the live-MIGRATE verification gap; report a USE/RUN shadowing bug
Confirmed the real MIGRATE dispatch fires live: a temporary boot probe
(STADIUM-ADMIT + STADIUM-EVICT against the live Artemis VM, inserted
into the existing 4.6 self-test and reverted immediately after capture)
produced "Stadium: dispatch cell=63257 behaviour=MIGRATE lbn=100" with
blk_flush(100) firing and zero error -- closes the honest gap left open
in the previous commit. Interactive flooding alone couldn't reach this:
Hera's reservoir sits at the Q48_ONE/3 floor from boot self-tests, so
block-touch candidates pull 0 heat and can never out-density an
existing resident, a pre-existing reservoir-floor/eviction interaction
unrelated to this pass.

Also reports (not fixes, per CLAUDE.md) a real dictionary-shadowing bug
found while chasing this: capsules/lib.4th:13 redefines USE as EXEC,
shadowing the C primitive mama_word_use() (REPL VM-redirect) with an
unrelated capsule-loading meaning -- same for RUN at lib.4th:14. Same
bug class as the K-PUSH dictionary-shadowing issue.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 c7c9332321 Stadium: real block-patron admission + MIGRATE dispatch (FABRIC-3.md §B)
stadium_admit()'s mass==1 refusal looked like a hard blocker for 1024-byte
blocks, but stadium_word_dispatch()'s real candidate construction proves
Stadium cells carry pure identity/heat/bookkeeping, never the resident's
actual content -- a block patron follows the same shape (identity=LBN,
payload unused), so this was real, scoped work, not a case for stubbing.

New stadium_blocks.h/.c mirror stadium_words.c's admission/cooling shape,
keyed by (quota_slot, lbn) in a fixed-capacity open-addressing hash table
(tombstone deletion) instead of a dense array, since LBN space isn't
densely bounded like word_id. Wired into block_word_block()/buffer()/
update() (block_words.c), __STARKERNEL__-guarded. stadium_dispatch()'s
MIGRATE case now calls blk_flush(lbn) for real instead of printing
"(stub)". Three new Kconfig constants (STADIUM_BLOCK_HEAT_QUANTUM/
STADIUM_BLOCK_COOL_RATE_Q48/STADIUM_BLOCK_TRACK_CAP_MULT) mirror the
word-patron ones, same three-layer wiring.

VM-COOL/DELIVER/EXPIRE stay explicit punch-list items -- VM-COOL
deferred pending the still-iterating Tripod/Zuse/messaging vision,
DELIVER/EXPIRE are their own future subsystem integrations per
FABRIC.md's own "open, not resolved" notes.

Verified clean compile (zero warnings) and clean boot to REPL with
conservation intact (resident_sum + reservoir == Q48_ONE) on all three
architectures (amd64/aarch64/riscv64); BLOCK/BUFFER touches exercised
live from the REPL with no crash; a 22,000-distinct-block flood loop
against an artificially shrunk Stadium ran clean under heavy admission
load. A live MIGRATE console fire was not directly observed this
session (root-caused to a pre-existing reservoir-floor/density-eviction
interaction unrelated to this change, documented in FABRIC-3.md) --
flagged as an honest follow-up, not silently claimed.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 ecdb547786 FABRIC-3.md: block-patron admission investigation + Tripod final-shape vision
Investigated whether stadium_admit()'s mass==1 refusal blocks block-patron
Stadium admission -- it doesn't: stadium_word_dispatch()'s real candidate
construction confirms Stadium cells carry identity/heat/bookkeeping only,
never the resident's actual content, so a block patron (identity=LBN,
payload unused) fits the same pattern words already use. The real gap is
just that no LBN->cell_index residency map or touch-on-access hook exists
yet -- real, scoped, buildable work, not a blocker.

Deferred VM-COOL pending the Tripod final-shape vision Captain Bob laid
out (thumbdrive minting, one-time Zuse fuse-blow, messaging-only inter-VM
interaction, polymorphic block-boundary behavior) -- recorded in a new
§D so near-term Stadium work doesn't ignore it, without treating a
one-sentence vision as a ready-to-implement spec.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 d68223d43f Close FABRIC-2.md, open FABRIC-3.md; audit Stadium dispatch stubs; new no-stubs rule
FABRIC-2.md closed archival at ~4,400 lines / 51 open items, same reasoning
FABRIC.md itself was closed for at 7,595 lines -- continuing to append made
still-open work hard to find. All 51 open items carried forward into
FABRIC-3.md's new Section A, verified complete via programmatic diff against
the source (49 unique + 2 confirmed pure duplicates from FABRIC-2.md's own
F.3 cross-reference section, not dropped content). .claude/CLAUDE.md's
pointer note updated to name FABRIC-3.md as current.

New Section B: full audit of stadium_dispatch()'s four behaviour stubs
(MIGRATE/DELIVER/EXPIRE/COOL), triggered by investigating "words/VMs/blocks/
messages should all be on the same engine". Found the picture is more
nuanced than "everything's a stub" -- words are already fully live via a
separate bespoke mechanism (stadium_word_dispatch(), wired into vm_core.c's
real word-execution path, item 4.1), contradicting ONTOLOGY.md's stale
"not yet migrated" claim (flagged for a follow-up fix). MIGRATE (blocks)
and VM-COOL are genuinely stub with zero consumers; DELIVER (Hermes) and
EXPIRE (ACL) are substantial, undecided subsystem integrations FABRIC.md
itself already flagged as open, not touched here.

New standing rule, saved as memory feedback_no_stubs_or_todos.md: stub
implementations and TODO placeholders are never acceptable in this
workflow, in any language, ever -- triggered by finding stadium_dispatch()'s
stub handlers during this investigation.

entry points (blk_get_buffer, blk_update, blk_flush, blk_is_allocated,
blk_mark_allocated, blk_mark_free, blk_is_valid, blk_get_meta, blk_set_meta,
plus blk_get_empty_buffer covered via delegation) -- an LBN->LBN redirect,
not a new storage allocator, since the LBN space is already unified across
every attached blkio_dev backend. VM window cache staleness across a
relocation reuses the existing blk_vm_check_epoch() mechanism from
Milestone 2h's hot-detach fix for free -- g.epoch bumps on relocation too.

Persistence lands in the same pass: two new uint32_t fields
(reloc_start/reloc_devblocks) appended after hdr_crc in blk_volume_meta_t,
carved from existing padding without moving any earlier field's byte
offset -- an old formatted volume's zeroed padding reads back as
reloc_devblocks=0 ("no reloc capacity"), gracefully, not a format-breaking
change. compute_totals_from_B() generalized to account for the new
reserved region. reloc_flush_to_disk()/reloc_load_from_disk() mirror the
BAM I/O functions' own absolute-devblock-addressing shape; the persisted
copy's owner is first_disk_slot() (already existed, already used for this
exact "which device is canonical" question by blk_get_volume_meta()).
blk_subsys_relocate_block() is a mechanical primitive only -- copies
content (staged through a local buffer, since obtaining the target's
blk_get_buffer() result can evict and invalidate the source's cache
pointer if they share a device), frees the source BAM entry, appends the
exception entry, bumps the epoch, flushes to disk. RELOCATE-BLOCK exposes
it to FORTH, no policy of its own (ACL's job, per this session's direction).

A first live-test attempt gave a false negative against disk/artemis.img
(predates reloc capacity, so relocation only ever existed in memory that
boot) -- traced to the test's own setup before being mistaken for a bug,
then re-verified correctly against a fresh volume (new fixture,
disk/artemis-reloc-test.img): relocated a RAMDRIVE block to the fresh
disk, confirmed live resolution through the redirect, then confirmed both
the redirect and the relocated content survived an abrupt QEMU kill and
full reboot. Also fixed three lingering "glibc" doc-comment
misattributions from Milestone 2h (the actual allocator is this kernel's
own kmalloc) that survived an earlier FABRIC-2.md-only correction. All
three architectures re-verified clean.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 073dae4f56 FABRIC-2.md: full design for single-block relocation, persistence included
Complete design, not just the earlier flag: resolve_lbn() as the single
choke point threaded through ten public entry points, LBN->LBN redirect
mechanism (no new storage allocator needed, the LBN space is already
unified across all backend-agnostic blkio_dev devices), VM window
staleness solved for free by reusing the existing epoch mechanism from
Milestone 2h's hot-detach fix, in-memory table shape, and on-disk
persistence via two new fields carved from blk_volume_meta_t's existing
padding (byte-compatible with old formatted volumes) using the same
absolute-devblock I/O pattern the BAM already uses. Ownership of the
persisted copy assigned to first_disk_slot() (already exists, already
used for this exact "which device is canonical" question), with the
multi-primary-device question for a future multi-SSD/cloud world
explicitly punted rather than hand-waved. Noted the known, separate
limitation: USB relocation targets aren't exercisable until WRITE(10)
exists in the xHCI driver -- verification will use two already-writable
devices instead. Policy (when to relocate, whether a target is validly
owned) stays ACL's job, not this primitive's.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 aea7f85d34 FABRIC-2.md: flag block_subsystem.c routing revision needed for single-block relocation
Milestone 3 direction from this session: ACL decides when to relocate
(capacity pressure or a compudynamics heat/cold signal), migration
expected rare not routine. Flagging only, not designing yet: current
lbn_to_slot() is pure contiguous-range routing, one device owns one
unbroken range -- incompatible with relocating an individual block to a
different device while its LBN stays fixed. Direction sketched (a sparse
LBN-to-actual-device exception table, consulted before the range walk,
zero cost for the common never-relocated case) but the actual structure
is still open. Block-migration implementation now explicitly depends on
this revision landing first.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 306ee70468 FABRIC-2.md: identity-range allocation is first-touch, not a hash formula; identity is a CA-signed cert
Dropped the hash-modulo-MAX_IDENTITIES approach: there is no way to bound
how many identities might ever exist, so no population size can be
pre-divided into slots regardless of hash function. Resolution: first
time an identity is seen, claim a range at the SSD's existing free-space
frontier (g.total_user_lbn, already used by every device attach) sized
to whatever it needs, write the assignment into the drive's own map;
every later visit just reads it back. No central directory, no quota,
matches Section U's existing requirements exactly.

Identity itself is a certificate signed by this project's own (not yet
created) CA root, extending Milestone 6's PKI design to users instead of
inventing a separate mechanism. Derivation-relevant value is the cert's
embedded pubkey, not its raw bytes -- a renewal shouldn't relocate an
already-allocated range.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 4891fd0067 FABRIC-2.md: drop GPT partitioning for home-blocks USB drive, whole-device layout instead
Checked the math with Captain Bob: a PBAM for ~15GB of user blocks needs
only ~1.92MB (15M blocks / 32768 per 4KB page), fitting easily alongside
identity/credential/PKI material in a 1GB reserved region. No partition
table needed -- same whole-device pattern artemis.img already uses today,
just with a generously fixed ~1GB reserved region instead of tight
bam_start+bam_devblocks packing. Eliminates the GPT-parser work item
entirely (no GPT code exists in src/starkernel/ today). Confirmed no
conflict with Milestone 8's USB boot drive, which is a separate physical
drive (flashed starkernel.iso) with its own independent GPT/ESP need.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 8eaefeb9ee sk_repl_idle() auto-flush: implement Section V's "anything dirty? no? done" check
Makes blk_vm_flush_all() (block_words.c) non-static and declares it in
block_words.h -- it's already the entire implementation behind
SAVE-BUFFERS (block_word_save_buffers() is a one-line wrapper), so
sk_repl_idle() can call the exact same flush path outside word dispatch
without duplicating any logic. Cheap every idle tick regardless of dirty
state: every check inside is a small fixed-size scan, so no separate
pre-check was needed on top of it.

Caught a real bug via a live persistence test before trusting the
feature: the first version gated the flush on sk_repl_get_active_vm()
returning non-NULL, but NULL is that accessor's documented default
(Tripod's own USE-redirect override, "restore default dispatch") --
without an active USE redirect, the flush silently no-op'd for the
entire session. Confirmed live: wrote a byte via BUFFER (no
UPDATE/SAVE-BUFFERS), waited past the idle cadence, killed QEMU abruptly,
rebooted with the same disk image, read back 0 instead of the written
65. Fixed by threading the VM sk_repl_run()'s own loop already resolves
each iteration (g_repl_active_vm ? g_repl_active_vm : vm) down as a
parameter through sk_readline() into sk_repl_idle(), rather than trying
to re-derive it from an accessor with the wrong default. Re-ran the same
test after the fix: read back 65, matching the written byte -- the write
survived an abrupt kill with no explicit flush call anywhere in the
test, proving the idle-tick auto-flush genuinely ran.

All three architectures re-verified clean. FABRIC-2.md Section V item 6
and the corresponding Milestone 3 punch-list item marked done.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 1b80609cb0 FABRIC-2.md: correct glibc misattribution in 2h hot-detach writeup
block_subsystem.c is shared/vendored source -- its calloc()/free() calls
resolve to real glibc in the hosted build, but to this kernel's own
freestanding shims (src/starkernel/vm/host/shim.c, backed by kmalloc()/
kfree() in src/starkernel/memory/kmalloc.c) in the kernel build, which is
where the address-reuse bug was actually diagnosed live. The previous
writeup said "glibc's allocator" -- wrong environment entirely. Verified
kmalloc_aligned() is a plain first-fit walk from heap_head with no
coalescing, confirming the same free-then-immediate-same-size-alloc reuse
behavior originally observed, just attributed to the right allocator.
Caught by the user asking directly whether this project has any glibc
dependency, given .claude/CLAUDE.md's strict ANSI C99/no-GNU-extensions
requirement (confirmed -std=c99 throughout both Makefiles). Documentation
correction only -- no code changed.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 af267a52a6 Artemis Milestone 2h: hot-detach -- 2h complete
blk_subsys_detach_device() (block_subsystem.c) walks the device chain,
refuses removal of anything but the current tail (a mid-chain removal
would corrupt every later slot's start_lbn -- this architecture's own doc
already argues USB stays last specifically to avoid that), unlinks,
shrinks total_user_lbn, closes and frees the slot. Discards rather than
flushes dirty state -- the device is physically gone by the time this
runs (PORTSC disconnect only). Trigger wiring mirrors the attach path:
bot_msc_attached (set only once attach actually succeeds) gates a new
bot_msc_detach_pending flag set at PORTSC disconnect (not Disable Slot
completion, which is conditionally skipped and would miss concurrent
connect/disconnect pairs), consumed in sk_repl_idle().

Advisor flagged the real hazard ahead of time: block_words.c's VM block
window (blk_vm_lbn[]/blk_vm_cbuf[]) can go stale across a detach then a
same-LBN re-attach, and suggested a pointer-identity re-check in
blk_vm_load() as a minimal fix. That fix was implemented, then directly
falsified by its own designed-for-this test: attach a blank device, read
a block (populating the cache), detach, re-attach a device with distinct
content at the identical LBN, read again -- served stale content from
the first device. Root cause, confirmed live: glibc's allocator hands
free(slot) straight back to the very next same-size calloc(), so the
"fresh" and stale pointers were bitwise identical despite being two
different devices. Fixed properly with a monotonic blk_subsys_epoch()
counter (bumped on every attach/detach) checked by a new
blk_vm_check_epoch() helper at the one choke point (blk_vm_find(), plus
blk_vm_flush_all() which reads the same arrays directly) that covers
every path touching the window cache -- unfooled by address reuse.

Verified live with a new disk/usb-thumbdrive-test2.img fixture (distinct
content from the existing blank test image): attach A, read (cache hit
populated), detach, re-attach B at the same LBN, read again -- correctly
ran a fresh device read and returned B's real content, not A's stale
cached zeros. The failing pointer-comparison attempt's own capture log
kept as evidence, not deleted. All three architectures re-verified clean.
FABRIC-2.md Section X 2h marked complete -- enumeration through
hot-detach all live and verified; only WRITE(10) (2g's own still-open
item) remains unimplemented in the driver, not blocking anything here.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 3b085dd875 Artemis Milestone 2h: blkio_usb.c backend -- USB thumb drive is now a real block device
Wires a hot-plugged USB Mass Storage device into the block subsystem's
unified LBN chain. blkio_usb.c/blkio_usb.h mirror virtio_blk.c/
virtio_blk.h's established shape exactly (singleton state, blkio_vtable_t,
a blkio_usb_open_msc() "find" function playing virtio_blk_find_artemis()'s
role): read() translates a Forth block into a SCSI LBA/count pair and
calls xhci_bot_read_block() + xhci_bot_wait_for_idle(); write() returns
BLKIO_ENOSUP (no SCSI WRITE(10) exists yet, and blk_format_or_load_disk()
never writes at attach time, so read-only is sufficient -- confirmed by
reading that function first, not assumed). Refuses (-2) if the reported
SCSI block size doesn't evenly divide the 1024-byte Forth block size.

Connect-time wiring reuses the bot_msc_attach_pending/consume-in-
sk_repl_idle() shape the prior increment's temp probe already validated,
now made permanent: SET_CONFIGURATION sets the flag, sk_repl_idle()
(strictly after its own xhci_poll_events() call returns) calls
blkio_usb_open_msc() then blk_subsys_attach_device().

Verified live via hot-attach: full chain from USB connect through
'blkio_usb: MSC device ready' to 'blk: disk 'StarForth Volume' v2 LBN
26074..75184 (49111 user blocks)' -- real attachment, disk image confirmed
byte-for-byte untouched after. Chased a real debugging detour along the
way: the attach initially appeared silent (no blk: log line) -- traced to
LOG_INFO filtering at the default LOG_WARN boot level, not a functional
bug (settled via a temporary log-level bump, reverted after capture; also
found and reported, but did not fix, a pre-existing unrelated
Makefile.starkernel bug where --log-level=info via KERNEL_ARGS breaks
printf parsing). All three architectures re-verified clean. FABRIC-2.md
Section X 2h updated -- only hot-detach remains for 2h.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 d686f28853 Artemis Milestone 2h (foundational): sync wait bridge + SCSI READ CAPACITY(10)
Closes the gap block_subsystem.c needs before any of 2h's real work
(blkio_usb.c, attach wiring, hot-detach) can start: this driver is fully
async/polled with no way for a synchronous caller (blkio_read()/
blkio_info() etc.) to get a result back. xhci_bot_wait_for_idle() is a
bounded busy-wait over xhci_poll_events() -- MUST be called only from
outside xhci_poll_events()'s own call frame, never from within it or a
next_action dispatch (recursion into live Event Ring/ERDP processing,
same class of hazard already documented for doorbell rings in this
driver). xhci_get_dev() exposes the module-static device handle to
outside callers that didn't observe the original hotplug event.

SCSI READ CAPACITY(10) (opcode 0x25) is the other half -- nothing could
learn a device's block size/capacity before this. First attempt sent it
bare and hit the classic first-command UNIT ATTENTION (CSW FAILED); fixed
with the same TUR-guard pattern READ(10) already used, generalized via a
new bot_tur_chain_target field so TEST UNIT READY's PASS handling can
chain into either command. bot_data_buf grown 512->1024 bytes (one Forth
block = two 512-byte SCSI blocks, per block_subsystem.c's own 1KiB-unit
convention).

Verified live via a temporary probe (hot-attached disk/usb-thumbdrive-
test.img via QMP, reverted after capture): TUR-guarded READ CAPACITY10
correctly reported last LBA=0x1ffff, block size=0x200 -- exactly 64MiB,
matching the test image byte for byte -- followed by a TUR-guarded
1024-byte/2-block READ10, both PASS. All three architectures re-verified
clean, probe-free boot to ok> on the reverted tree. FABRIC-2.md Section X
2h updated with the writeup; the blkio_usb.c backend itself is next.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 65effbd1ba Artemis Milestone 2g: TEST UNIT READY unit-init sequence -- READ(10) now PASSes
Roots out the CSW status FAILED left unexplained in the prior increment: a
freshly attached SCSI target's standing UNIT ATTENTION condition, which a
bare READ(10) with no retry can never clear. xhci_bot_send_test_unit_ready()
sends SCSI TEST UNIT READY (SPC-4 6.33) ahead of the real command; the CSW
handler now tags command kind (bot_cmd_kind) to distinguish a TUR completion
from a READ10 completion, chains TUR PASS into the real READ(10), and
bounded-retries TUR on FAILED/PHASE ERROR (bot_tur_retries, capped at
XHCI_BOT_TUR_MAX_RETRIES). xhci_bot_read_block() is the new intended entry
point tying lba/num_blocks/block_size + the TUR-first sequencing together.

Verified live via a temporary probe (hot-attached disk/usb-thumbdrive-test.img
through the running instance's QMP socket), captured on amd64: full chain
CBW(TUR) -> FAILED -> retry -> PASS -> CBW(READ10) -> Data-In -> CSW PASS.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 c54ea24aaf Artemis Milestone 2g: Data-In stage read and CSW receive/validation
Completes the CBW -> Data-In -> CSW chain for READ(10) started last
commit. xhci_bot_read_data_in() and xhci_bot_receive_csw(), each a
single Normal TRB on the bulk IN Transfer Ring via a new
xhci_bulk_in_enqueue_and_ring() helper (mirrors the OUT-side helper
from CBW send). All three stages now chain automatically via the
existing deferred next_action pattern: CBW completion defers into
Data-In, Data-In completion defers into CSW receive, CSW completion is
where signature/tag/status validation happens.

Data-In reads into a new fixed 512-byte bot_data_buf -- single-block
scope for this increment, matches QEMU's usb-storage reported block
size; xhci_bot_send_read10() now refuses rather than overflow/truncate
if a request exceeds it. CSW validation (BOT spec section 5.2) checks
dCSWSignature and dCSWTag (a new bot_last_tag field, latched from the
CBW) before trusting bCSWStatus at all, so a garbled/misaligned CSW
read can't be misread as a clean pass. usb_bot_csw_t follows the same
struct-with-explicit-length-not-sizeof discipline as usb_bot_cbw_t.

Verified live via a temporary probe (written, run once, log captured,
reverted per this project's own probe convention), all three
architectures, byte-identical: the full CBW -> Data-In -> CSW exchange
completes cleanly, well-formed CSW with correct signature and echoed
tag, no wedge, clean disconnect immediately after. The SCSI command
itself reports CSW status FAILED against the current test fixture --
expected at this stage (no TEST UNIT READY / UNIT ATTENTION handling
implemented yet, consistent with a fresh-attach unit-attention
condition, not a transport-layer defect) and not root-caused further
here; the BOT mechanism itself is confirmed correct end to end.
Probe-free re-verification afterward on all three architectures.

FABRIC-2.md Section X Milestone 2g's CSW checklist item marked done;
"get one real READ(10) working end to end" stays explicitly open,

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 a88c004ecb Artemis Milestone 2g: CBW construction and send for SCSI READ(10)
First real use of the bulk Transfer Rings Configure Endpoint wired up.
xhci_bot_send_read10() builds a 31-byte Command Block Wrapper (USB Mass
Storage Class Bulk-Only Transport spec section 5.1) and submits it as a
single Normal TRB on the bulk OUT ring via a new
xhci_bulk_out_enqueue_and_ring() helper -- a CBW is always exactly one
TRB, so unlike the EP0 helper this one rings its own doorbell rather
than leaving that to a caller assembling a group.

usb_bot_cbw_t is a real struct (every field up to the CDB array is
naturally aligned, and this driver's targets are all little-endian
already assumed everywhere else), but its DMA length is the explicit
USB_BOT_CBW_LENGTH (31) constant, never sizeof(*cbw), since the
compiler may pad the struct to 32 bytes. The SCSI READ(10) CDB itself
is written byte-by-byte since its LBA/Transfer Length fields are
big-endian on the wire, unlike everything else in this driver -- the
one place two byte orders are both live in the same function.

Completion is correlated via the existing pending_transfer_slot_id/
transfer_purpose gate (new XHCI_XFER_CBW_SENT purpose) -- no
ring-specific dispatch needed, since this driver's single-outstanding-
transfer scope already implies which ring produced an event.

This covers construction and send only (one third of a full READ(10):
CBW -> Data-In stage -> CSW) -- reading the Data-In stage and CSW
receive/validation are separate, explicitly not-yet-implemented items.

Verified live via a temporary probe (written, run once, log captured,
reverted per this project's own probe convention) -- all three
architectures, byte-identical: CBW submitted -> CBW send completed,
then a clean disconnect even with the Data-In stage never drained
(confirms no wedge on a dangling BOT transaction). Probe-free
re-verification afterward on all three architectures.

FABRIC-2.md Section X Milestone 2g's CBW checklist item marked done.
Also records a monitoring gotcha hit three times this session: `ls -t`
over the logs/ tree can return a stale leftover log from an earlier
run in the same session -- fixed going forward by reading the log path
off the actual running QEMU process's own command line instead, and a
memory note added so it doesn't recur next session.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 92ce1f85dd Artemis Milestone 2g: Configure Endpoint command
Adds the xHCI Configure Endpoint command for the two bulk endpoints
identified by the previous increment, and fixes control-transfer
sequencing to match the spec: xHCI 1.2 section 4.3.5 requires Configure
Endpoint before SET_CONFIGURATION is sent to the device, the reverse of
the order this driver used through 2f (which happened to work against
QEMU's lenient qemu-xhci emulation but wasn't spec-correct).

New XHCI_TRB_TYPE_CONFIGURE_ENDPOINT_CMD, EP Context type constants for
Bulk IN/OUT, and an XHCI_EP_ADDR_TO_DCI() macro (DCI = 2*EndpointNumber
+ Direction) in xhci.h. xhci_cmd_configure_endpoint() builds the Input
Context (Slot + one EP Context per DCI up to the highest bulk endpoint
in use) and submits the command via the existing next_action deferral
mechanism, correlated on completion via a new
XHCI_CONN_AWAIT_CONFIGURE_ENDPOINT connect_state, then chains into the
existing SET_CONFIGURATION path.

Two allocations had to grow beyond what Address Device sized them for:
the Input Context (previously room for one EP Context only) and, less
obviously, the Device Context that DCBAA[slot_id] itself points at --
the controller only touches DCIs named in a command's own Add/Drop
flags, so growing that buffer required copying its existing Slot+EP0
content forward rather than zeroing it, to avoid handing the controller
a blank EP0 out from under an endpoint this command isn't touching.
Bulk Transfer Rings (bulk_in_ring/bulk_out_ring) are allocated and
wired into the new EP Contexts but not yet exercised by an actual
transfer -- CBW/CSW submission is next.

Verified live via QMP hotplug, all three architectures, byte-identical:
bulk endpoint identification -> configure endpoint command submitted ->
configure endpoint succeeded -> the existing set configuration ->
device configured chain, then a clean disconnect/disable-slot teardown
afterward with the larger Device Context installed.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 96d55fcd87 Artemis Milestone 2g (partial): bulk endpoint discovery + 2e disconnect teardown
Picked up from a crashed session: xhci_driver.h/xhci.h already had the
bulk_in/out_ep_addr/max_packet fields and Endpoint-descriptor offset
macros scaffolded, but the actual walk that populates them was never
written. Added it: after 2f confirms a Mass Storage/SCSI/BOT interface,
a nested walk continues through the Endpoint descriptors that follow it
(bDescriptorType==5, stopping at the next Interface descriptor or end
of stream), keeping only Bulk-type endpoints and splitting IN/OUT by
bEndpointAddress bit 7. Also reset the four new fields in
xhci_bringup(), which the scaffolding had missed.

Also completed 2e's disconnect teardown, which was fully implemented
this session (not scaffolded): a Disable Slot command is now submitted
on a real disconnect, with the port's tracked slot ID captured and
cleared from port_slot_id[] immediately (before the command completes)
so a fresh connect on the same port isn't confused for one already in
progress, and DCBAA[slot_id] cleared only on a successful completion.

Verified live via QMP hotplug (deliberate device_add/device_del against
freshly launched, individually-tracked instances -- not whatever
happened to be attached at boot), all three architectures,
byte-identical: bulk IN endpoint=0x81, bulk OUT endpoint=0x02, then a
clean disconnect -> disable slot succeeded, no wedge. Caught and fixed
a documentation near-miss in the same pass: an initial draft cited the
probe-free three-arch acceptance boots as this feature's verification
evidence, but a stale leftover log directory from a pre-crash orphaned
QEMU process had been picked up by an `ls -dt | head -1` glob during
monitoring and mistaken for this session's own result -- the real
acceptance logs never had a device attached at all. Re-verified against
real PIDs and real log paths before writing FABRIC-2.md's final
writeup.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 b4bbd043d0 Artemis Milestone 2f: SET_CONFIGURATION -- 2f complete
Chains off a confirmed Mass Storage/SCSI/BOT interface match via the
existing next_action deferral mechanism: device descriptor -> config
descriptor -> SET_CONFIGURATION is now a single automatic sequence.
bConfigurationValue is read directly out of the already-fetched
config_descriptor buffer, no extra transfer needed.

First write control transfer this driver has issued (every prior one was
a read), so it needed its own submission helper,
xhci_ep0_control_write_nodata() -- SET_CONFIGURATION has no Data Stage
(wLength=0), and per USB 2.0 spec 8.5.3 a no-data control transfer's
Status Stage is always IN, the reverse of an OUT-data request's status
stage. XHCI_SETUP_TRT_NO_DATA already existed in xhci.h, unused until now.

Verified live via QMP hotplug, all three architectures, worked first try,
byte-identical: "set configuration submitted" -> "device configured",
guest stays running throughout (checked via QMP query-status). Disconnect
confirmed clean on every arch afterward, no wedge. FABRIC-2.md Section X
Milestone 2f updated -- 2f is now fully complete, 2g (Bulk-Only Transport)
can start.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 b9c540a78b Artemis Milestone 2f: Configuration descriptor read + Mass Storage/BOT class confirmation
Chains off the device descriptor request via a new deferred-action mechanism
on xhci_dev_t (next_action/next_action_slot_id/next_action_length): a short
9-byte Configuration descriptor read learns wTotalLength, then a full read
retrieves Config+Interface+Endpoint descriptors, walked for the Interface
descriptor to confirm bInterfaceClass/SubClass/Protocol == Mass Storage/
SCSI/Bulk-Only Transport.

The deferral exists because ringing the next doorbell synchronously inside
xhci_poll_events()'s event-processing loop -- before the current event's
ERDP write -- hung the guest outright (confirmed live via checkpoint
logging, amd64). Fixed by moving the actual control-transfer submission to
a small dispatch at the end of xhci_poll_events(), after ERDP is updated.

A debug hack that shipped mid-session (forcing a repeated 9-byte read
instead of chaining into the real 44-byte length, to isolate whether the
hang was doorbell-ordering or length-specific) has been reverted: restored
the real length and re-verified live. The doorbell-ordering fix was the
whole story -- the 44-byte read completes cleanly.

Verified live via QMP hotplug, all three architectures, byte-identical
results: wTotalLength=0x2c, bInterfaceClass=0x08, bInterfaceSubClass=0x06,
bInterfaceProtocol=0x50 -- confirmed Mass Storage/SCSI/BOT. Disconnect
confirmed clean on every arch, no wedge. FABRIC-2.md Section X Milestone 2f
updated with the full writeup.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 2c34e45d05 Artemis Milestone 2f: EP0 control transfer, device descriptor request
Adds Setup/Data/Status stage TRB types and control bits (IDT, TRT, DIR)
to xhci.h, and xhci_ep0_enqueue_trb()/xhci_ep0_get_device_descriptor() to
xhci.c -- the first real control transfer this driver has issued.
Follows the same enqueue-then-doorbell-once pattern as the Command Ring,
operating on the EP0 Transfer Ring built during 2e's Address Device work.
Setup Stage uses Immediate Data (parameter IS the 8-byte setup packet);
Data Stage reads into a reused 18-byte device_descriptor buffer; Status
Stage alone carries IOC, so exactly one Transfer Event signals transfer
completion, correlated via a new pending_transfer_slot_id (same
single-outstanding-operation pattern as connect/Enable Slot/Address
Device).

Automatically triggered once Address Device succeeds. Verified live via
QMP hotplug, all three architectures, worked first try with identical
results everywhere: idVendor=0x46f4, idProduct=0x0001, bDeviceClass=0x00
-- the class=0 confirms Mass Storage class detection needs the
Configuration/Interface descriptor (2f's next item), not the device
descriptor.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 2e7e957680 Milestone 6 (ACL/PKI): Ed25519 verify + SHA-512, built from scratch
New freestanding, verify-only Ed25519 (RFC 8032) implementation:
include/starkernel/{sha512,fe25519,scalar25519,ed25519}.h +
src/starkernel/crypto/{sha512,fe25519,scalar25519,ed25519}.c, wired into
Makefile.starkernel. Kernel never signs or generates keys -- only
ed25519_verify() is needed; signing happens in the host-side mkcapsule
build tool via libsodium/OpenSSL.

Confirmed __int128 multiply/add/shift-by-constant compile with zero
undefined symbols on all three target toolchains (only division needs
libgcc's __udivti3, per timer.c's existing documented finding -- that
file's comment updated to narrow the claim, since it had been read as
"avoid __int128 entirely"). This enabled the standard 5-limb radix-2^51
field arithmetic representation.

An abandoned first attempt (10-limb radix-2^26, avoiding __int128 out of
premature caution) hit two real bugs, both invisible on inspection and
found only by property-based testing against Python's own bignum
arithmetic: a non-uniform-radix limb misalignment in multiplication, and
a double-counted carry. Verification chain: SHA-512 against known +
boundary vectors (7/7); field arithmetic property-tested 25,045 cases;
scalar-mod-L arithmetic 300 cases (L confirmed prime via Miller-Rabin
first); full verify() end-to-end against 110 real signatures from
Python's cryptography library, including tampered inputs and the RFC
8032 S>=L malleability attack -- all correctly accepted/rejected.

Compiles clean (zero warnings) and links on all three architectures,
confirmed via the mandatory three-arch QEMU boot. The code is linked but
not yet called from anywhere -- wiring into capsule_birth.c needs a
from-scratch X.509/DER parser first (Captain Bob chose real X.509 over a
raw-blob cert format this session), which is the next open item.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 2b7743027c Artemis Milestone 2e: Address Device implemented, worked first try, 3-arch
Adds Slot/Endpoint/Input Control Context structs (32-byte layout only --
HCCPARAMS1.CSZ checked live and confirmed 0 against this driver's QEMU
target; 64-byte contexts refuse rather than silently mis-laying-out),
xhci_cmd_address_device(), and a new dev->connect_state
(idle/await-enable-slot/await-address-device) sequencing Enable Slot and
Address Device per connect. Input Context (what the command TRB's
parameter points at) and Device Context (what DCBAA[slot_id] points at)
are separate 64-byte-aligned allocations, lazily created once and reused
across every connect -- single-device driver scope, no free path needed.
A new EP0 Transfer Ring uses the same fixed-ring-plus-Link-TRB pattern as
the Command Ring.

Two facts checked live before writing any context code, not assumed:
HCCPARAMS1.CSZ (32-byte, confirmed) and PORTSC.PED at connect time
(already set -- PORTSC=0x00021203, SuperSpeed -- the test device
self-enables via USB3 link training, so no port-reset state machine was
needed this increment; USB2 would need one, untested). Both diagnostics
also added console_puts/println-based hex logging (xhci_log_hex32()) --
console_println() only takes string literals, no formatted print existed
on this driver's console path before now.

Verified live via QMP hotplug, all three architectures, succeeded on the
first attempt with no debugging needed: "enable slot succeeded" ->
"address device command submitted" -> "address device succeeded" on
every boot.

Also fixes a FABRIC-2.md dependency-direction error from the previous
commit (Address Device is 2f's prerequisite, not the reverse).

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 6d330efdd8 Artemis Milestone 2e: real connect drives Enable Slot, slot ID correlated
xhci_poll_events()'s Port Status Change connect branch now calls
xhci_cmd_enable_slot() directly (the earlier boot-time smoke test call is
gone), tracked via a new dev->pending_connect_port_id -- since this
driver only ever has one command outstanding at a time, that alone
identifies which port a later Command Completion Event answers, without
needing to match the Command TRB Pointer yet. On success the returned
Slot ID is recorded in a new dev->port_slot_id[], a fixed
uint32_t[XHCI_MAX_TRACKED_PORTS] (32) indexed by port. Disconnect clears
the port's tracked slot (real teardown -- Disable Slot, DCBAA clear,
Section U callback -- is still a later increment).

Fixed array, not heap-allocated: a first attempt sized port_slot_id
dynamically via kmalloc_aligned(dev->max_ports * sizeof(uint32_t), 64)
inside xhci_bringup() and it crashed amd64 with a page fault (IFETCH at
RIP=CR2=0xA0000, the legacy VGA hole) during the unrelated Mama-VM-birth
phase afterward -- a heap-corruption signature, not chased to root cause.
Switching to a fixed array (matching this driver's existing preference
for fixed over dynamic allocation) made the crash go away; the crashing
boot's log is kept (logs/20260822-102516/) as the evidence trail.

Verified live via QMP hotplug, all three architectures: connect ->
"enable slot command submitted" -> "enable slot succeeded", with a
disconnect/reconnect cycle repeating cleanly and no port wedge.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 dd043bbfeb Artemis Milestone 2e: PORTSC connect/disconnect detection, verified live
xhci_poll_events()'s Port Status Change branch now decodes the Port ID
from the event TRB (XHCI_PSC_EVT_PORT_ID, new in xhci.h), reads that
port's PORTSC.CCS via a new xhci_port_regs() helper, and logs connect vs.
disconnect. Acknowledges by writing back only PP (preserved) and CSC (the
bit being cleared) -- PED/PR/other _C bits written 0 so nothing is
accidentally disabled, reset, or silently cleared, matching the RW1C
discipline already used for ERDP.EHB in 2d.

Verified with the real target scenario via QMP hotplug on all three
architectures: boot with the xHCI controller present but no USB device
attached (confirmed zero port activity at ok>), then live
attach/detach/re-attach of a virtual USB thumb drive
(disk/usb-thumbdrive-test.img via usb-storage on xhci0.0). Full
connect->disconnect->connect cycle confirmed clean (no port wedge) on
amd64; single connect confirmed on aarch64 and riscv64.

Still open: correlating Command Completion Events back to their issuing
command, driving Enable Slot/Address Device from this connect path
(currently only a boot-time smoke test), and the callback surface into
Section U's higher-level code.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 bb84eba7e3 Artemis Milestone 2e: virtual USB thumb-drive hotplug test + block-layout decisions
Verified live on amd64: booted with the xHCI controller present but no USB
device attached (no Port Status Change at ok>), then hotplug-attached a
virtual USB thumb drive via QMP (usb-storage on xhci0.0, backed by
disk/usb-thumbdrive-test.img) and got an immediate port status change
event -- the real connect trigger Milestone 2e's PORTSC handling will
consume next.

Confirmed blk_subsys_attach_device() (src/block_subsystem.c) is already
the correct integration point for USB -- it already appends a new device
to the end of the existing LBN chain, matching the intended design.
Documented the remaining gaps: no blkio_usb.c backend yet, no hot-detach
path in the device chain yet.

Decided the on-drive layout for USB thumb drives: GPT-partitioned (unlike
artemis.img's whole-device StarForth header), ~1GB metadata partition +
remainder for blocks, 16GB reference drive size, sizing tentative. No GPT
parser exists in kernel code yet -- new prerequisite work for Milestone
2h/3, not blocking current 2e work.

disk/usb-thumbdrive-test.img added as a tracked test fixture, per this
repo's standing convention that virtual disk/thumb-drive images used for
testing are committed, not left in scratchpad.

Enable Slot command TRB submitted via a new xhci_submit_command()/
xhci_cmd_enable_slot(), ring doorbell 0, confirmed by a real Command
Completion Event on all three architectures -- the first time this driver
has written a TRB rather than only reading the Event Ring (2d). Added the
Command Ring's previously-missing Link TRB (xHCI 1.2 spec sec 4.9.2) for
wraparound correctness.

Port Register connect/disconnect handling, slot-ID/context bookkeeping,
Address Device, and the callback surface into Section U's code are still
open -- this is the discriminating first step, not full 2e.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 2b16daba16 Artemis Milestone 2d: xHCI Event Ring servicing, polled not interrupt-driven
Implements Event Ring TRB parsing and ERDP dequeue-pointer update
(xhci_poll_events(), src/starkernel/usb/xhci.c), called from
sk_repl_idle()'s existing ~1s idle cadence rather than a per-arch
interrupt handler.

A first attempt wired real interrupt delivery (PCI->IOAPIC GSI routing,
a dedicated isr_stub34/vector 0x22, GIC/PLIC routing mirroring
virtio_input.c). Checked live via QMP query-pci before trusting it: the
amd64 PIRQ swizzle formula predicted GSI 16 for the xHCI controller at
PCI slot 4; the real QEMU-assigned IRQ was 10, and embedded ICH9
functions contradicted the same formula too. Reverted all of it back to
the exact committed baseline rather than chasing chipset PIRQ routing
further, and reframed around Section U item 6's own design intent
("interrupt-driven, coarse cadence, cheap early-exit... quick check
blocks... done") via sk_repl_idle() instead -- USB insertion is a
human-timescale event, not a hot path.

Added -device qemu-xhci to all three QEMU launch targets (required for
any of this to be testable). Verified end to end via genuine post-boot
hotplug (QMP device_add/device_del usb-storage): all three architectures
detect a live attach within seconds. A false-alarm heartbeat "freeze"
found mid-verification traced to querying the wrong counter
(vm->heartbeat.tick_count, which only advances during word execution,
not the kernel's real ISR-driven heartbeat_ticks()) -- confirmed via a
temporary diagnostic word, captured and reverted.

Full writeup, including the discarded interrupt-routing attempt and the
false-alarm investigation, in FABRIC-2.md's Milestone 2c/2d entries.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 c2f1d94c97 Artemis Milestone 2c: xHCI controller bring-up wired, DoE CSV export off by default
xhci_bringup() (HC reset, DCBAA, Command/Event rings, RUN/STOP) was
uncommitted and referenced an XHCI_WAIT_FOR macro that was never defined,
breaking the build. Wired all four wait sites to the existing
xhci_wait_bit() helper instead, matching each register/bit/polarity
needed (halt-before-reset waits for HCH set; HCRST, CNR, and post-RUN
HCH waits all wait for their bit to clear).

Also flipped g_doe_log_enabled's default from 1 to 0 -- the per-tick
[HADES][DOE] CSV export was flooding every boot log and slowing
interactive verification for no reason during ordinary acceptance runs;
HB-ON still re-enables it at the REPL for anyone running an actual DoE
campaign.

Three-arch acceptance: amd64/aarch64/riscv64 all boot clean to ok>,
zero DoE rows in any log. aarch64 and riscv64 both exited cleanly via
BYE with no exception, confirming the earlier SMC->HVC PSCI fix still
holds. Logs and DoE CSV artifacts from this run included.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 5970c54912 Artemis Milestone 2b complete: xHCI PCI discovery and BAR0 mapping
New src/starkernel/usb/ subsystem directory (added to both
LOADER_SRCS_BASE and KERNEL_SRCS_BASE wildcards in Makefile.starkernel,
matching the existing virtio/*.c pattern). xhci_find_and_map() locates
the controller via the already-generic pci_find_first(), enables it,
maps BAR0 via the already-generic pci_map_bar(), and fills in all four
register-region pointers (cap/op/runtime/doorbell) plus max_slots/
max_ports/max_intrs from HCSPARAMS1 -- ready for controller bring-up
(2c) to consume directly.

No pci.c extension needed, per 2a's finding that PCI discovery here is
ID-based lookup (already generic), not class-code scanning. Verified:
clean standalone syntax check, full amd64 kernel build with zero
warnings, live boot still reaches POST 1012/0/0 unaffected (nothing
calls xhci_find_and_map() yet, so this is purely additive).

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 94345c24b7 Artemis Milestone 2a complete: xHCI register header, PCI ID confirmed
live via QMP, ring sizing decided

include/starkernel/xhci.h: Capability/Operational/Runtime register
layouts, Port Register Set, Interrupter Register Set, Doorbell Array,
16-byte TRB struct -- all from the xHCI 1.2 spec, no existing
reference in this tree to build from (unlike virtio-blk). volatile
fields, no packed attribute, matching virtio_blk.c's documented
riscv64/QEMU-MMIO precedent. Compile-checked clean, sizeof(xhci_trb_t)
verified == 16.

QEMU qemu-xhci's PCI vendor:device ID (0x1B36:0x000D) confirmed live
via QMP query-pci against a real running instance -- not assumed from
memory, matches the Milestone 1 QMP infrastructure just built.

Ring sizing decided: fixed 256-TRB (one page) Command Ring and Event
Ring, single interrupter -- documented rationale in the header.

Bonus finding: src/starkernel/pci/pci.c already has more reusable
infrastructure than Milestone 2b assumed (pci_find_first is ID-based
lookup already existing; pci_bar/pci_map_bar/pci_enable are already
generic) -- 2b is smaller than originally scoped, noted in the punch
list.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 3d91015659 Artemis Milestone 1 complete: QMP socket added to all three QEMU
launch targets, three-arch verified

Makefile.starkernel: added -qmp unix:$QMP_SOCK,server=on,wait=off to
the amd64/aarch64/riscv64 qemu targets, matching the existing serial
chardev socket pattern exactly (same discoverability, same cleanup on
exit). Verified on all three architectures: QMP greeting arrives on
connect, qmp_capabilities handshake succeeds, device_add/device_del
round-trip correctly.

Real finding surfaced during device_add testing (recorded in
FABRIC-2.md's punch list for Milestone 2): the q35 machine's pcie.0
root bus doesn't support runtime PCI hotplug without a bridge --
Milestone 2's qemu-xhci USB controller needs to be present in the
static launch command, with USB devices hot-attached to its bus at
runtime, not the controller itself hot-added.

Also noted: g_doe_log_enabled's default-on per-tick heartbeat CSV
export was briefly mistaken for a hang during aarch64 verification --
it isn't one, just a large volume of routine diagnostic output before
reaching ok>. Not changing the source default; adopting HB-OFF
immediately after boot as the working pattern for the rest of this
punch list's dev work.

Previously kept stable IDs with a separate "read this note for the

security, 5=console/VM key-match binding, 6=PKI signing chain,
7=contributor capsules/trust tiers, 8=bare-metal USB boot (still
second-to-last, not first -- QEMU-first per Captain Bob's explicit
reinforcement), 9=networking (unchanged, still last). All cross-

sub-item labels 2a-2h) updated to match throughout Sections U, W, and
