Per FABRIC-3.md D.7 (birth-by-message-only): the Tripod legs must be alive
session-less before any thumbdrive-attach flow has a running Hermes/Artemis
to message. kernel_main.c's item 4.2/4.6 self-tests previously birthed
both, exercised diagnostics, then explicitly KILLed them before ok> every
boot -- production boot never actually kept either alive. Stripped both
blocks down to birth-only, diagnostics and KILL removed.
Found and fixed a real regression this surfaced, not left broken: Hermes's
CD-INIT (message/channel arena init, and the thing that loads lib.4th into
her own dictionary) was only ever invoked by the self-test just removed --
nothing in hermes/init.4th itself called it. Added an unconditional CD-INIT
call at the end of her own init.4th so a real birth actually initializes
her arena, matching how Artemis's own ART-BOOT-ENTRY already runs
unconditionally at her own capsule load.
Added STARTUP-BANNER (lib.4th): a shared word reading a common
IDENTITY-BANNER buffer, printing "(no identity)" until CERTVERIFY/MINT
exist to populate it from a thumbdrive's PKI fields -- scaffolding only,
per direct instruction. Wired into each Tripod leg's own init.4th
(Hera/Hermes/Artemis); Artemis didn't load lib.4th before, added that too.
Verified live on all three architectures: BIRTH for both, no KILL anywhere
in any log, and an interactive USE round-trip confirmed Hermes is
genuinely reachable post-boot, not just logged as born.

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.
