Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 413b5a9bbf Verify turtle.4th rendering live, revert overdue ART-STRESS-CAMPAIGN disable
Disabled capsules/artemis/init.4th block 4170's ART-STRESS-CAMPAIGN -- its
own comment already said to revert to disabled once the K-invariant/
heartbeat verification run (item 4.6, closed earlier this session) was
done. This was the actual ~25-30 minute wall blocking interactive REPL
access, unrelated to any DoE mechanism.

Verified capsules/turtle.4th and capsules/sdk.4th live in a gtk-display
QEMU session: a red hexagon (6 100 POLYGON) and a green self-intersecting
star (100 STAR) both render with correct geometry and color. Screenshot in
evidence/amd64/.

Two real obstacles found and worked around along the way: CS's full-
framebuffer PLOT loop is far slower under TCG than previously documented
(closer to 20+ minutes than "slow"), and the kernel's heartbeat CSV logging
draws to the same console surface PLOT writes pixels to, overwriting
drawings within a fraction of a second unless silenced first with the
existing HB-OFF word. Both HOWTOs updated to record this.

Re-verified full three-arch acceptance boot (POST, DoE, parity) with the
ART-STRESS-CAMPAIGN change: 1012/0/0 and matching dict_hash on all three,
identical to the pre-change baseline.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 d1547ecdae Add capsules/sdk.4th: SDK v1.9.0 vocabulary + FENCE over the cookbook capsules
Loads turtle.4th and doe.4th, defines SDK-VERSION/SDK-HELP into an SDK
vocabulary, then calls FENCE once everything is loaded -- protecting the
base wordset and both cookbook capsules from FORGET. Kernel-only (EXEC
doesn't exist hosted), REPL-invoked via S" sdk.4th" EXEC, not part of
init.4th's boot sequence.

Verified before writing the capsule, not assumed: VOCABULARY/DEFINITIONS
does not actually scope word visibility in this interpreter -- vm_find_word
is a flat dictionary scan that never consults CONTEXT/CURRENT. Documented
plainly in the HOWTO so this isn't mistaken for namespace isolation later.

Block range 5109-5115 -- discovered along the way that user-block space is
capped at [2048, 5120) by mkcapsule, tighter than expected.

Verified: mkcapsule --lint clean, hosted-build trace runs SDK-HELP with
zero attributable VM errors, zero build warnings and identical 1012/0/0
POST results with matching dict_hash on all three kernel architectures.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 4e7dcdf889 Add FENCE word (SDK v1.9.0 scoping); fix severe pre-existing FORGET use-after-free
FENCE ( -- ) exposes the dict_fence_latest/dict_fence_here state FORGET
already honored internally, letting callers (e.g. a future SDK capsule)
raise the boundary after loading their own content -- no new VM fields,
no policy logic beyond exposing existing state.

Writing a direct test for it surfaced a real, severe, pre-existing bug in
FORGET's relink logic, unrelated to FENCE itself and reproducible with the
original boot-time fence alone:

- Forgetting the single newest word incorrectly destroyed every other word
  back to the fence too, not just the target.
- Forgetting an older word (correctly cascading to remove newer words too,
  per FORTH-79 semantics) crashed with SIGSEGV.

Root cause: the relink code's target_prev pointer was, by construction,
always inside the range the preceding loop had just freed whenever target
wasn't vm->latest -- so writing through it was a use-after-free every time
that branch executed. Fixed by removing the target_prev tracking and both
branches entirely; vm->latest unconditionally becomes target_next (target's
own captured, still-valid link) after the free loop, correct in every case.

Added a FENCE test suite to dictionary_manipulation_words_test.c (Module 14)
including the exact regression case (forgetting the newest word must not
disturb an older one). Verified zero warnings and identical POST/dict_hash
results across all three kernel architectures.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 abb858a300 Add POST coverage for physics-freeze words (Module 27), fix two real bugs found in the process
Cluster 4 of the POST-coverage sweep: physics_freeze_words_test.c covers the 6
words proof/StarForth_Physics_Freeze_Words.thy actually gives real lemmas for
(FREEZE-WORD, UNFREEZE-WORD, FROZEN?, HEAT!, HEAT@, DECAY-RATE@), correcting
an earlier fork summary's wrong "5 words" scope.

Writing the tests surfaced two independent, pre-existing bugs in
physics_freeze_words.c, both now fixed:

- Every address-taking word cast the VM's caddr directly to a host pointer
  instead of resolving it through vm_ptr() -- caddr is an offset into
  vm->memory, not a host pointer. Fixed in all 9 call sites (the 5 in-scope
  words plus SHOW-HEAT, which shares the identical pattern).
- Every underflow check used dsp < N (item count) instead of dsp < N-1, since
  this VM's dsp is a 0-indexed top-of-stack pointer. Fixed in all 6 checks.

Together these meant every word in this file taking a stack-supplied name has
been broken for any real caller since the file was written. Verified zero
build warnings and a clean three-arch QEMU boot (amd64/aarch64/riscv64), 1009
passed / 0 failed / 0 errors identically on all three, dict_hash matching
across arches.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 1a2ec565e8 Zero C-compiler warnings on all three architectures; fix real restore_vm_state() bug
Maintainability sweep (prompted by "this is getting hard to maintain"):
fixed the remaining three warning classes after the missing-field-
initializers commit -- 2x -Wsign-compare (control_words.c, cast at the
comparison site rather than changing cf_last_mode's type, which
deliberately holds a -999 sentinel outside vm_mode_t's valid range),
2x -Wstringop-truncation (mkcapsule.c, strncpy+manual-null-terminate
replaced with the idiomatic snprintf equivalent), and 26x
-Wunused-parameter (mostly documented stubs, silenced with the repo's
existing (void)param; idiom).

One of the unused-parameter warnings was not a deliberate stub -- a
real bug. restore_vm_state() (test_common.c) is named, documented, and
called by nine real call sites (acl_words_test.c x8 plus its own
internal use) as "restore saved VM state", but ignored all four of its
parameters and hard-reset to a fixed baseline instead, silently not
restoring what any caller actually saved. Fixed to actually assign the
passed-in dsp/rsp/error/mode. Found while fixing warnings, reported
before touching it, fixed/tested/documented/committed on explicit
instruction.

Verified: all three architectures build with zero C-compiler warnings
(amd64: 3040 -> 0; aarch64's one remaining note is lld-link's own
unrelated linker warning, not a C warning). Full amd64 acceptance boot
post-fix: POST 1003/965/0/0/38 (total/passed/failed/errors/stubs),
"ALL IMPLEMENTED TESTS PASSED!", contract checks (A4'/A1) all passed,
dict_hash=0x24b4279f0670aa3a -- an exact match to this document's own
previously-recorded baseline hash.

.claude/CLAUDE.md corrected to describe the real -Wno-error= exemption
list instead of the "-Wall -Werror" oversimplification. FABRIC-2.md
Section J records the full sweep, including doc-tree staleness findings
flagged but not fixed this pass (docs/lithosananke/ROADMAP.md branch
topology, docs/03-architecture/word-acl/DESIGN.md's Phase 7 claim
contradicting CLAUDE.md, top-level ROADMAP.md's stale StarForth-era
status, the Isabelle pipeline-metrics model mismatch).

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 efcc2d8c90 Full three-arch DoE campaign, post-fix — amd64/aarch64/riscv64 all clean
Standard L8-DOE acceptance run on all three architectures following the
item 4.6 quota-ordering fix and aarch64 SMC->HVC BYE-crash fix. All
three: 30/30 Artemis stress-campaign reps PASS, clean BYE exit (no
exception), full DoE CSV captured (~78-79k rows each).

riscv64's first attempt this session was killed mid-run by an
unexplained external SIGTERM (see memory note
project_unexplained_qemu_sigterm_20260818, cause not yet identified);
relaunched and completed clean.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 b24a5a6e25 aarch64: fix BYE cold-restart crash — PSCI SYSTEM_RESET via HVC, not SMC
Root cause of the aarch64 BYE cold-restart exception (present since at
least 2026-08-08, ESR_EL1=0x02000000/EC=0 "Unknown reason"), found via
live gdb single-stepping through the actual crash: arch_cold_reset()
issued PSCI SYSTEM_RESET via `smc #0`, but QEMU's aarch64 virt machine
booted with AAVMF (UEFI firmware, no genuine EL3/TrustZone secure
monitor) serves PSCI via HVC, not SMC -- nothing exists to answer an
SMC call, so it trapped as an illegal instruction straight into the
kernel's own exception handler. Not memory corruption, not a race --
a wrong conduit for this boot configuration.

Fix: smc #0 -> hvc #0. Function ID and calling convention unchanged.

Getting to this required first discovering that starkernel_kernel.elf
is not the binary that actually runs -- MONOLITHIC_BUILD links
kernel_main() directly into starkernel_loader.efi, a completely
separate, differently-linked build artifact. Every earlier gdb
breakpoint attempt this session failed because it used addresses from
the wrong file. Real addresses (UEFI-chosen ImageBase + linker-map
RVA) let gdb catch the crash live for the first time.

Verified: full aarch64 acceptance pass, 30/30 stress-campaign reps
PASS (unaffected -- this bug only manifested on BYE), and BYE now
exits cleanly with no exception for the first time in this
investigation.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 8d90538801 item 4.6: fix Stadium quota-grant ordering; fix aarch64 PSCI SYSTEM_RESET function ID
Artemis's 30-rep surface stress campaign was failing 100% of trials on all
three architectures: stadium_grant_quota() ran after IDENTITY exec in
capsule_birth.c, but Artemis's init.4th auto-runs the stress campaign as
part of that same IDENTITY exec, so every STADIUM-ADMIT call during it hit
a nonexistent quota slot and refused unconditionally. Moved the grant call
before IDENTITY exec. Verified 30/30 reps PASS on amd64, aarch64, and
riscv64 post-fix (was 30/30 FAIL on all three pre-fix).

Also fixed an independent, real bug found during the same acceptance pass:
aarch64's arch_cold_reset() issued PSCI SYSTEM_RESET using the SMC64
calling convention (0xC4000009), which is not a valid PSCI function ID --
SYSTEM_RESET has no SMC64 variant. Corrected to the SMC32 encoding
(0x84000009). This did not resolve the separate aarch64 BYE cold-restart
exception also found in this pass (root cause not yet found, tested and
refuted an interrupt-race hypothesis, documented in FABRIC-2.md Section I
for follow-up) but is a genuine spec fix worth keeping regardless.

Full writeup, evidence, and the still-open aarch64 crash investigation in
FABRIC-2.md Sections H and I.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 00e657019e stadium: make VM population bound RAM-derived, not a static array of 4
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 db6640682b mama_forth_words: KILL must not physics-retire Hera before refusing her
S" Hera" KILL called vm_physics_retire(hera_id) before capsule_vm_kill()'s
own Hera guard ever ran. Hera's self-referential parent_vm_id makes
vm_physics_find_root_id() return her own id immediately, so
vm_physics_retire() treated her as an unreachable root and zeroed the
fleet's entire execution_heat_q48 sum -- silently, with only the
harmless-looking "cannot kill Hera" message as output. Guard the retire
call the same way capsule_vm_kill() already guards the actual kill.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 f75228dda5 Add docs/lithosananke/DICTIONARY.md: full core word dictionary reference
No document like this existed. Covers every core C-primitive FORTH word
(~470 registrations, 435 unique names after collapsing double-registered
ones) across all 36 src/word_source/*.c files plus
src/starkernel/capsule/mama_forth_words.c, organized into 34 category
sections matching the module order in register_forth79_words().

Each entry has word name, stack effect, and a one-sentence description
pulled from the doc comment above its implementation (or inferred where
none existed). Explicitly scoped to core primitives, not the ~330
FORTH-defined words inside .4th capsules -- those track individual
experiments/policies rather than the language itself and would need
their own document with a different update cadence.

Resolved, not just noted, the two real name collisions in the live
dictionary: [ ] STATE (dictionary_manipulation_words.c vs.
defining_words.c) and MOD /MOD */ */MOD (arithmetic_words.c vs.
mixed_arithmetic_words.c) -- checked actual registration order in
word_registry.c against the newest-first FIND search to determine which
implementation is actually reachable by name, rather than guessing.

Includes a "keeping this current" section documenting how to extend it
when words are added/removed/re-registered.

Also includes BLOCK_MAP.md/artemis.img/amd64.csv regenerated by builds
during this session, and a qemu boot log/DoE run that weren't from any
command in this session -- kept per repo convention, logs are audit
artifacts, not deleted.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 aba0b01a08 Close FABRIC.md, open FABRIC-2.md as the living document
FABRIC.md did its job: §1-24's design argument is settled and every
implementation item through 4.5/4.4ac either landed or was explicitly
deferred with a reason. At 7,595 lines it was no longer a good place
to find what's actually still open, so it's now archival -- header
rewritten to say so, pointing to FABRIC-2.md.

Before closing it, read the entire document end to end (not sampled)
looking for anything unresolved: punch-list checkboxes, the nine
"### N.N Open" architectural subsections in §1-24, the §25.7
"reported, not scheduled" list, and any other "not yet"/"deferred"
language. Found and fixed four stale bookkeeping spots where later
work had actually resolved something but the note was never updated:
§19.6 #3 (resolved by item 2.1), §21.5 #4 (resolved by §20.5 #4), the
§25.7 stadium_owner[idx] bullet (resolved by item 4.2), and item 4.5's
own parent checkbox (all six sub-items 4.5a-4.5f were already [x]).

FABRIC-2.md carries forward everything genuinely still open: the
blocked/scoped punch-list items (1.11, 4.3, 4.4s, 4.6, 5.1-5.3, plus a
specific pending TRIPOD.md edit found within 5.3), two regressions
that were invisible with Tripod pruned to Hera-alone and are now live
since item 4.2 restored Hermes (the fleet heat leak in
vm_physics_touch(), and multi-VM heartbeat ownership), nine dead-code/
cruft reports, three open design questions (§12 Q5, §17.4, §23.4 #2),
and two documentation-debt items (the taxonomy/glossary Captain Bob
flagged 2026-08-04, and re-measuring ACL-RWT DoE overhead now that
real compiler optimization is enabled).

Also includes BLOCK_MAP.md/artemis.img/amd64.csv regenerated by builds
during this session, and a qemu boot log/DoE run that weren't from any
command in this session -- kept per repo convention, logs are audit
artifacts, not deleted.

qemu-system-* in the foreground and block until it's closed manually;
serial logging to logs/ and DoE CSV extraction on exit are unchanged.

Robert Allan James 099db4f428 Merge branch 'stadium-step-one' into master
Brings in the cursor indicator + HB-ON/HB-OFF runtime DoE toggle work.
Diverged from master's own three-arch verification commit (0d8fff3,
logs only, no code overlap) since that verification was made directly
on master rather than merged back to stadium-step-one first.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 59458a0a16 Cursor indicator + HB-ON/HB-OFF runtime DoE instrumentation toggle
Cursor (Captain Bob: "the only thing we need is a cursor"):
vt100_draw_cursor() draws a solid block at the terminal's current
position, called from repl.c after the prompt prints and after every
keystroke/backspace. vt100_erase_cursor() cleans up the one gap a static
cursor has -- Enter/newline moves away from the cursor cell without a
character draw ever overwriting it, which left a stray block behind
until this fix.

HB-ON/HB-OFF (Captain Bob: run a program with or without instrumentation
without rebuilding):
Converted per-tick DoE logging from a build-time flag (HEARTBEAT_DOE_LOG)
to a runtime one. doe_log_tick_row() now self-gates on g_doe_log_enabled
(default 1, matching the old default) instead of being compiled out
entirely; the call site in vm_runtime.c is unconditional. Two new FORTH
words, HB-ON and HB-OFF, flip the flag live. Removed the now-dead
HEARTBEAT_DOE_LOG plumbing: the Kconfig symbol, and the -D forwarding in
both LOADER_CFLAGS and KERNEL_CFLAGS.

Verified: three-arch clean QEMU boot + logs; dictionary word count 466
(463 baseline + ALT+TAB + HB-ON + HB-OFF, exactly the three words added
across this session); amd64 screendump confirms the cursor renders
correctly after real interactive typing.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 af20efaa15 FABRIC.md items 4.4v/4.4r/4.4ab: keyboard bridge, and simplify to a
full-screen vt100 terminal

4.4v -- keyboard-to-REPL bridge, real and tested:
Refactored KEY-EVENT's per-arch translation logic (keyboard_words.c) into
a shared C function, sk_key_event_poll(), so the REPL bridge reuses item
4.3.5f's already-converged Linux-keycode-namespace event stream instead
of building separate amd64/aarch64/riscv64 tables. repl.c's sk_kbd_getc()
decodes the standard US-QWERTY printable range plus Enter/Backspace/Shift
against that stream; sk_readline() polls it as a second source alongside
console_getc(). Verified via QEMU monitor sendkey injection, and by
Captain Bob typing directly into the live QEMU window over real emulated
PS/2 hardware mid-session (1 1 + . -> 2 ok, then a clean BYE shutdown).

4.4ab -- simplify to a full-screen terminal:
Captain Bob's call, reverting the 640x480 CANVAS box + independent REPL
strip (4.4o/4.4t/4.4x/4.4z) in favor of the simplest shape: the entire
framebuffer is one vt100 terminal, g_vt.cols/rows = fb_width()/fb_height()
divided by cell size, no origin offset, no box, no strip, no border
drawing. The REPL prompt is just the terminal's last scrolling line.
Scrollback, TTF rendering, and SGR color are all box-agnostic and keep
working unmodified.

4.4r -- reframed as a text/graphics mode toggle:
"Hide/show the scroll box" stopped meaning anything once the box was
removed; the underlying need survives as a whole-screen mode switch.
vt100_toggle_graphics() is a two-state machine (VISIBLE/HIDDEN) -- hidden
mode stops the terminal from touching the framebuffer while its logical
state keeps advancing, so direct framebuffer/TTF-TEXT drawing can use the
whole screen; showing again wipes and reuses scrollback_redraw() to
restore the terminal exactly. Reachable two ways, one transition function:
physically via Alt+TAB (4.4y revised from Ctrl+TAB) and programmatically
via the new ALT+TAB FORTH word.

Verified: three-arch clean QEMU boot + logs; amd64 screendump confirms
full-width text with no box/strip artifacts.

Punch list §25 items 4.4v/4.4r/4.4ab complete; 4.4y revised.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 b21aa50a14 FABRIC.md item 4.4z: draw the scroll box's visible border
draw_box_border() (vt100.c) strokes four 1px edges around the 640x480
CANVAS box, reusing the same border-gray constant the REPL strip's
border lines use (renamed VT100_STRIP_BORDER_GRAY -> VT100_BORDER_GRAY
since it's now shared -- one pinned color decision, 4.4w, not two).
Called from erase_display()'s box-scoped branch so the border survives
every box clear (the initial one and any later ESC[2J), not just the
first.

Verified: three-arch clean QEMU boot + logs, amd64 screendump showing a
full rectangle outline around the box, visually distinct from the strip
below it.

Scope expanded from pure CANVAS-rectangle arithmetic (as originally
scoped) to also splitting the REPL prompt/input line out of the
scrollback box into an independent single-line strip, per Captain Bob's
explicit fold-in after the gap was reported (§25.0 rule 3) rather than
silently expanded.

vt100.c: VT100_BOX_ORIGIN_X/Y are no longer hardcoded per-arch literals --
both are now derived from fb_width()/fb_height() at vt100_enable_ttf()
time. New vt100_strip_draw() renders the bottom strip (gray border lines,
bright-white text) directly via the existing ttf_draw_glyph_cell()
rasterizer, independent of the box's own grid/cursor state. Border lines
are drawn after the glyph loop so an oversized cell can only be clipped
by them, never erase them.

console.c/console.h: console_fb_strip_draw() thin wrapper, matching the
existing console_fb_enable_ttf()/console_fb_scroll_*() pattern.

repl.c: builds a plain-text "[VMName] ok> <input>" mirror in
g_strip_prompt/strip_refresh(), refreshed on every keystroke (including
backspace) from sk_readline() -- already wired for item 4.4v, since
keyboard-typed characters will flow through the same console_getc() path
once that lands. Also widened sk_repl_step()/sk_repl_run()'s local input
buffer from a second, smaller 256-byte buffer to INPUT_BUFFER_SIZE
(1025), per 4.4w's decision.

Verified: three-arch clean QEMU boot + logs, amd64 screendump showing
the box and strip as two visually distinct regions with no visible
glyph/border clipping.

Punch list §25 item 4.4x complete.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 39838b604f Quiet the POST ECW dispatch trace; three-arch clean-boot verification
vm_core.c: demote the per-word "ECW: w=... func=... 'NAME'" dispatch trace
from LOG_INFO to LOG_DEBUG. POST forces the logger to LOG_TEST for the
duration of the self-test run, and LOG_TEST includes LOG_INFO, so every
single word execution during POST was echoing this trace -- hundreds of
lines burying the actual module summaries and pass/fail tally. Still
available via --log-level=debug.

Combined with HEARTBEAT_DOE_LOG=0 (command-line Kconfig override, no
default change -- experiments/bare_metal/'s own DoE tooling still gets
HEARTBEAT_DOE_LOG=1 by default), all three architectures now boot clean:
UEFI -> POST summary -> Mama birth -> Hermes self-test -> heartbeat ->
ok>, with no [HADES][DOE] rows and no ECW flood. Verified by three-arch
QEMU boot; logs attached.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 a02e14915f WIP checkpoint: quiet default log level, QEMU_DISPLAY control, tee'd serial log
Default log level dropped from info to warn so the per-word ECW dispatch
trace doesn't flood REPL output after POST (--log-level=info/debug still
re-enables it). qemu target gains QEMU_DISPLAY (default gtk) so the
framebuffer window shows by default; serial log is tee'd live via
`tail -f` instead of dumped with `cat` at the end. Includes regenerated
BLOCK_MAP.md/amd64.csv/artemis.img and this morning's boot logs/DoE runs
from the sessions that produced this WIP.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 c92be2768f FABRIC.md item 4.4t: confine REPL text rendering to the CANVAS box
vt100's TTF-mode text grid now operates within the per-arch 640x480 box
(computed in 4.4o, pixel-verified in 4.4p) instead of the full framebuffer:
box-origin offset in px_of()/py_of(), box-derived cols/rows (53x20) set
before the 4.4q scrollback allocation depends on them, mode-aware
erase_display()/reverse-index fill, and a new box-scoped fb_scroll_rect()
alongside the existing whole-framebuffer fb_scroll_rows() (bitmap/boot mode
unaffected either way). Also clears the full framebuffer once at the
bitmap-to-TTF switch so leftover boot debris doesn't sit frozen outside the
box now that erase_display(2) is box-scoped afterward.

Three-arch QEMU boot + pixel-scanned screendumps confirm zero non-background
pixels land outside the box on amd64, aarch64, and riscv64.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 1f3ec3554e starkernel: REPL scrollback, ~1000 lines (FABRIC.md item 4.4q)
Scope decided with Captain Bob before implementation: ring buffer +
recall on today's full-screen vt100 grid, not also confining REPL text
to the 4.4o 640x480 box (that confinement stays open as its own future
item, not a third silent deferral). No keyboard input path exists yet
(M8 unstarted), so the trigger is two new FORTH words, SCROLL-BACK
( n -- ) / SCROLL-FWD ( n -- ), exercised via serial injection.

vt100.c gains a text-only 1000-line ring buffer (kmalloc'd, tens of KB
-- not pixel snapshots, which would be ~1000x larger for no benefit)
plus a shadow buffer mirroring the current screen. scroll_up() now
pushes evicted rows into the ring before the pixel scroll. History is
one continuous sequence (ring then shadow); scrolling always redraws
from that sequence -- no separate pixel-scroll path for scrollback,
decided up front to avoid retrofitting later.

New src/word_source/scroll_words.c (Module 31), thin wrappers over
console_fb_scroll_back()/_fwd() -> vt100_scroll_back()/_fwd(). Bug
caught during live testing: both words initially used an off-by-one
underflow check (dsp < 1) copied from a different, older dsp
convention elsewhere in this codebase; vm_pop() (which these words
actually call) uses dsp as a 0-based top-of-stack index, so the check
rejected every legitimate single-argument call. Fixed by removing the
separate precheck and relying on vm_pop()'s own guard.

Live-verified on all three architectures (exceeds this item's
amd64-minimum bar): generated 50+ lines via a FORTH loop, confirmed
SCROLL-BACK recovers correctly older content, and on amd64 confirmed
SCROLL-FWD returns to genuinely live state (not a frozen snapshot) by
showing the injected commands' own echo. Known limitation confirmed by
direct pixel measurement: redrawn lines lose their original SGR color
(not stored per-cell) -- text recovers exactly, color does not.

Three-arch verified: Failed: 0, dict-hashes identical across all
three (values changed correctly from prior items -- two new words
were added).

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 277845e3bf FABRIC.md: item 4.4p -- CANVAS geometry verified via one-shot probe, all three architectures
Verification only, no permanent code (matches this item's own title
and 4.4i's same-shape precedent -- 4.4l-4.4o were geometry decisions,
not drawing code). One-shot diagnostic probe in sk_repl() drew 4.4o's
box outline plus a strip-top marker, then was reverted after capture
per this document's write/run-once/capture/revert discipline.

Measured pixel bounds directly from each screendump (not eyeballed)
and confirmed exact matches against 4.4o's computed coordinates on
all three architectures: amd64 box x:[320,959] y:[104,583], strip
marker y:704; aarch64/riscv64 box x:[80,719] y:[4,483], strip marker
y:504.

Observed, not fixed here: on the small architectures the REPL banner
text visibly overlaps the box's top edge, because vt100's cursor grid
still spans the whole screen rather than being confined to the 96px
strip -- a real gap between the landed REPL path and the mockup,
belongs to 4.4q/4.4r's wiring work, not this item.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 418f040997 FABRIC.md: item 4.4k -- live SGR color verification, all three architectures
No code changes -- investigation/verification only. Injected a raw SGR
escape sequence over the serial socket at the ok> prompt (composed from
EMIT + ." since no FORTH word emits a literal ESC byte + text
directly): 27 EMIT ." [95mCOLOR-TEST" 27 EMIT ." [39m", bright magenta
(the p>=90&&p<=97 branch in apply_sgr()), a third SGR code path
distinct from 4.4h's already-verified truecolor prompt.

Screendump on all three architectures confirms COLOR-TEST renders in
bright magenta via the 4.4j-retargeted TTF draw call, proving the SGR
parser and the new glyph backend work together end-to-end, not just
independently. First screendump evidence ever captured for
aarch64/riscv64 in this document -- every prior screendump item was
amd64-only with that gap explicitly accepted; incidentally closed here
via the QEMU monitor screendump command against each arch's own
display device (ramfb for aarch64/riscv64). Both confirmed booting at
800x600.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 f729b91a09 starkernel: retarget REPL glyph rendering to TTF-TEXT's rasterizer (4.4j)
font_8x16.c keeps rendering everything through and including POST;
TTF-TEXT's rasterizer takes over at the interactive REPL boundary
(sk_repl()) via a new runtime mode switch, vt100_enable_ttf()
(console_fb_enable_ttf() wrapper), not a compile-time swap -- both
backends coexist in the same binary since boot/POST must stay
font_8x16.c per this item's own done-when.

TTF-TEXT (the FORTH word) isn't directly callable from vt100.c -- VM
stack arguments, different call shape than a one-glyph cell draw. Used
hal/ttf.c's VM-independent primitives directly instead (same rasterizer
TTF-TEXT itself calls underneath), added as a native C helper in
vt100.c. Lazily loads fonts:JetBrainsMono-Regular.ttf and kmallocs a
96-slot raster cache (covers all 95 printable ASCII, no eviction
thrash) on first switch.

Cell geometry changes at the switch (mode-aware cell_w()/cell_h()):
provisional 12x24 TTF cell (600/1000em * 20px = 12px exactly, using
4.4i's confirmed-uniform hmtx advance width) vs font_8x16's fixed 8x16
-- cols/rows re-derived and screen cleared at the switch point, same as
vt100_init() itself does. Final REPL text size is 4.4m's decision, not
this item's.

Also fixes the second call site 4.4i flagged: erase_line_range() now
uses one fb_fill_rect() instead of a per-cell font_8x16-specific blank
glyph draw, consistent with erase_display(2)'s full-screen case.

Three-arch verified: amd64/aarch64/riscv64 all reach ok>, POST
Failed: 0, identical dict-hashes. amd64 screendump shows real
proportional JetBrains Mono letterforms on the REPL tail, visibly
distinct from every prior font_8x16 screenshot.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 ae7c9429b4 starkernel: color the console prompt (FABRIC.md item 4.4h)
console.c's emit_prefix() now wraps [VMName] (brackets included) in
FABRIC.md 4.4's locked orange (0xFFA500), and repl.c's two "ok> "
call sites send FABRIC.md 4.4's locked cyan (0x55FFFF), both as real
SGR escape sequences through the existing font_8x16.c/vt100.c pipeline
-- 4.4b already established this needs no dependency on TTF-TEXT/4.4j.
Sent through both raw_putc() (serial) and vt100_putc() (framebuffer),
matching the existing dual-path pattern, so an ANSI-aware serial
terminal renders the same colors as the framebuffer.

Three-arch verified: amd64/aarch64/riscv64 all reach ok>, POST
Failed: 0, identical dict-hashes. Color applies correctly to any VM
name (confirmed via the [Hermes]-prefixed PARITY:BIRTH line in all
three logs, not just [Hera]). amd64 screendump confirms the rendered
colors directly.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 f33353430f starkernel: land console_fb_init() reorder (FABRIC.md 4.4g decided)
Moves the console_fb_init() call in kernel_main.c from after
capsule_birth_mama() to before it, so the fleet-birth/self-test
transcript (Hermes x2, Artemis births, Stadium self-tests -- currently
serial-only) is also framebuffer-visible, not just the small post-birth
tail.

4.5f's -O2 experiment already showed this doesn't hang under
optimization, just costs roughly 12x more boot-time heartbeat ticks
(one-shot, paid only during fleet birth, never repeated at runtime).
Captain Bob's call: worth it, since the serial log was never the
problem -- this is about the same transcript also reaching a real
screen.

Three-arch verified: amd64/aarch64/riscv64 all reach ok>, POST
Failed: 0, identical dict-hashes across all three. amd64 screendump
confirms the framebuffer now carries the full transcript.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 9b117c787f FABRIC.md: item 4.5f -- reorder experiment confirms -O2 fixes the stall
Uncommitted experiment (code reverted after capture, per Captain Bob):
moved console_fb_init() before capsule_birth_mama() in kernel_main.c,
amd64 only. At -O2 the boot completes cleanly and reaches ok> well
inside a 300s bound, versus the indefinite stall previously seen at
-O0. Real cost: ~12x more heartbeat ticks during boot from the extra
framebuffer scroll volume -- not free, but not a hang.

Screendump confirms the actual point of 4.4g: the framebuffer now
carries the full HADES/ECW/Stadium/self-test transcript, not just the
small post-birth tail.

This informs 4.4g's open reorder decision, it doesn't make it -- 4.5f
stays unchecked (single-arch feasibility check only, not the three-arch
acceptance pass its own done-when requires).

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 a1c9fc7330 starkernel: fix lidt() inline-asm constraint hazard, land -O2
FABRIC.md item 4.5d Finding 4: lidt()'s inline asm used a register-only
("r") constraint on the idtr pointer, never telling GCC the asm
dereferences the pointee. At -O2 this let the compiler treat the
256-entry idt[] population loop and idtr_desc's field writes as dead
stores and eliminate them entirely, loading IDTR from uninitialized
stack instead of the real table -- a #GP on the first APIC timer tick
that happened to land on garbage. Same bug class as the earlier
muldiv64 fix (b43e51a): an inline-asm constraint too weak for what the
asm actually touches, invisible at -O0, live at -O2.

Fixed by switching to a memory operand ("m"(*idtr_desc)), matching how
Linux's own load_idt() is written. aarch64/riscv64 checked for the same
pattern -- neither has it, both install their vector/trap tables
entirely in hand-written .S.

Verified: all three architectures boot clean to ok>, POST Failed: 0,
identical dict-hashes across all three under -O2, zero new warnings
vs an -O0 baseline (amd64 3040/3040, aarch64 3041/3041 serial,
riscv64 3037/3037). -O2/-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE landed permanently in
COMMON_CFLAGS.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 065ab50240 FABRIC.md: item 4.5d Finding 4 -- deep-traced, not yet root-caused
Computed the loader's true runtime relocation delta to correctly correlate
fault addresses (the running image is starkernel_loader.efi, a relocated
PE, not the separately-linked starkernel_kernel.elf assumed at first).
Fault RIP decodes to log_message()'s entry -- coincidental, not causal,
since it's called on nearly every HADES dispatch during word registration.

Used QEMU's monitor for -d exec,int tracing. Late-start tracing (stop right
before the danger zone to keep trace size down) failed twice -- the window
between a detectable checkpoint and the crash is shorter than host-side
reaction latency. Fell back to full-boot tracing from -S (~2.7GB per
attempt, not committed). That trace shows an unremarkable, normal-looking
repeating three-block loop immediately before the fault, then "Servicing
hardware INT=0x20" (APIC_TIMER_VECTOR) with IDT already showing limit=0 at
that instant.

Ruled out a second illegitimate lidt call (only one call site exists
anywhere, one-time M4 boot setup; searched the trace for any later
execution of that address range and found none). Not yet established: the
actual corrupting write. Documented two remaining explanations (earlier
silent corruption vs. a genuine TCG artifact) and that pinpointing the
exact instruction needs GDB-level single-stepping, a bigger tooling step
than attempted this session.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 1c5e926c3f FABRIC.md: item 4.5d -- Finding 3 (muldiv64) root-caused and fixed via QEMU tracing, Finding 4 blocks
Used QEMU-side instrumentation (-d int tracing, plus a working chardev-based
monitor -- the older bareword -monitor syntax silently fails on QEMU
10.2.1) as directed. The PM Timer "stall" was never a hang: it was a #DE
divide error cascading to a triple fault, which -no-reboot converts into a
silent clean QEMU exit -- indistinguishable from a hang without tracing,
and why arch_relax() (solving a hang that didn't exist) had no effect.
Root cause and fix documented in full (also see commit b43e51a).

With the fix, amd64 boot at -O2 now proceeds far past the original stall --
through capsule birth and into Hermes's word registration -- before hitting
a second, different fault (Finding 4): a direct #GP at IDT index 32
(APIC_TIMER_VECTOR), not yet root-caused. Same silent-triple-fault-exit
shape, so this was very likely bundled into "the hang" before tracing
distinguished the two separate bugs.

-O2 reverted again (uncommitted); muldiv64's fix is kept, real and
independently verified at unchanged -O0 on all three architectures.
Routine three-arch artifacts from this session's verification runs
included.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 dd09de65f5 FABRIC.md: item 4.5d -- arch_relax() tested against the PM Timer stall, disproven
Follow-up probing narrowed Finding 3's behavior (inconsistent stall point
run-to-run: sometimes reaches iters=1000/delta=951 before stopping,
sometimes never gets past iters=0 even after a 400-second bounded wait) but
didn't pin the mechanism.

Tested the strongest available hypothesis: single-threaded TCG scheduling
starvation from an -O2-tightened spin loop, based on a real precedent --
calibrate_apic_timer() (apic.c) already calls arch_relax() every iteration
of its own spin-wait; calibrate_tsc_with_pmtimer() never had it. Added the
same call, matching that precedent exactly. Result: no change, same exact
stall point on a fresh 60-second bounded wait. Reverted.

Stopping here per this document's own §25.0 rule 5 -- root-causing further
needs either deeper TCG/QEMU internals knowledge or a different diagnostic
approach (host-side instrumentation) than another guess-and-check pass.
Makefile.starkernel and timer.c both back to committed -O0 state, confirmed
booting clean.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 7df2e1bae3 FABRIC.md: item 4.5d -- fortification and putc/getc fixed, PM Timer stall now blocks
Finding 2 (putc/getc) fixed via shim.c backfill (previous commit). With
both Finding 1 (-U_FORTIFY_SOURCE) and Finding 2 fixed, amd64 links clean
at -O2 -- rigorously confirmed zero new warnings by diffing normalized
warning text between -O0 and -O2 builds (empty diff, ~3040 pre-existing
warnings in vendored code unchanged).

New Finding 3, not fixed, now blocking: amd64 boot stalls for minutes
inside calibrate_tsc_with_pmtimer() (timer.c:560-589) at -O2 -- a
mainline busy-wait loop reading the ACPI PM Timer via genuinely-volatile
inl() until 1000 real ticks elapse, bounded by a 5M-iteration timeout. A
one-shot diagnostic probe (reverted after capture) caught exactly one
checkpoint in 55 seconds of observation, then nothing -- not yet
root-caused whether this is the 5M-iteration timeout itself taking several
minutes to exhaust under -O2, or a genuine non-terminating condition.

Makefile.starkernel reverted to -O0 again; nothing broken landed in
history. Routine artifacts from this session's boot attempts included.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 b42308762b FABRIC.md: 4.4g stays open (reorder not viable), add urgent item 4.6 (-O0 kernel build)
Attempted 4.4g's console_fb_init() reorder twice this session: once bare,
once with the fb_scroll_rows() volatile fix applied. Both stalled boot
indefinitely (12,000+ lines logged, still running after 3 minutes vs. a
normal few-second boot) instead of completing. Root cause traced past the
scroll fix to Makefile.starkernel building the kernel at -O0 -- no
optimization flag has ever been configured there, verified against the
file's full git history (17 commits, only ever one unrelated host-tool -O2
line). Both the kernel's own vendored hosted Makefile and the standalone
StarForth repo's Makefile default to -O2 (up to -O3/-flto on faster
targets); Makefile.starkernel was written fresh for the bare-metal target
and never got that ladder.

Documented as new item 4.6: enabling optimization is not a safe drop-in
change on its own. Found one confirmed, isolated correctness hazard first --
TimeTrustState.ticks (timer.h:90) is written directly in ISR context on all
three architectures (heartbeat.c:163) and read directly by mainline
(heartbeat.c:200-202, including a busy-wait in kernel_main.c:880) without
being volatile, unlike every other ISR-shared global checked
(g_spurious_count, g_plic_claim_count, g_pending_counter/g_pending_valid/
g_adaptive_period_ns are all correctly volatile already). Reverted the
console_fb_init() reorder itself (uncommitted, so a plain git restore) --
4.4g stays open pending 4.6.

Both the reorder attempts' logs (stalled, never reached ok>) and this
session's routine three-arch artifacts (capsules/BLOCK_MAP.md, disk/
artemis.img, DOE CSV) are committed as audit trail per CLAUDE.md.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 7ee498705e FABRIC.md: check off 4.4c/4.4d/4.4e/4.4f, root-cause and reframe 4.4g
Three-arch acceptance boot (amd64/aarch64/riscv64) clean, all reaching
[Hera] ok>, plus amd64 screendump evidence for each item -- checking off
4.4c (console_fb_init wiring), 4.4d ([VMName] prefix reaching the
framebuffer), 4.4e (\r/\n fix), and 4.4f (glyph-flip fix, previous commit).
Screendump verification itself stays amd64-only pending future
aarch64/riscv64 screendump tooling; Captain Bob accepted that gap as
non-blocking for these checkboxes.

4.4g reframed from "anomaly, not root-caused" to a design decision: traced
the missing hundreds of lines of boot output to console_fb_init() running
after capsule_birth_mama() (which births the whole Tripod fleet and their
self-tests) rather than before it, so that output is serial-only by
construction -- not a scroll/CSI-parser bug. Left unchecked pending a call
on whether to reorder console_fb_init() earlier in boot.

Also commits routine artifacts from this session's three-arch runs:
capsules/BLOCK_MAP.md (regenerated manifest), disk/artemis.img (Artemis
writes on every boot), DOE CSVs, and the corresponding QEMU serial logs.

logs committed under logs/20260810-231553(amd64)/231640(aarch64)/
231739(riscv64).

One screendump per architecture, identical TTF-TEXT command sequence
(S" Hi 4.3.7e!" 200 200 28 16777215 TTF-TEXT) via monitor-socket +
serial-injection, same pattern as 4.3.7c/e. All three show the string
rendered legibly with correct mixed-case/digit/punctuation glyphs and
identical monospace spacing.

TrueType rendering (4.3.7-4.3.7f) is now complete, adjunct to the
stroke font per §27.7 decision #4. Stopping here before scoping REPL
wiring (M8), per this item's own posture matching 4.3.6g.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 b9b7cb2c6a FABRIC.md: checkpoint -- all 113 v1 glyphs verified, 3 arches (4.3.6g)
Punch list §25 item 4.3.6g complete. Fixed the cross-arch bug found
while first attempting this checkpoint: aarch64 and riscv64 both boot
an 800x600 ramfb device (confirmed empirically for both, not assumed),
against amd64's 1280x800 GOP framebuffer -- the original verification
grid's Y coordinates ran off the top of the smaller screens. Rebuilt
the grid to fit 800x600, safe on amd64's larger screen too.

All 113 glyphs confirmed legible and correctly positioned on all three
architectures, one screendump each, from the identical FORTH command
sequence. No code changes -- font.4th/fabric.4th are unchanged since
4.3.6f; this is verification only.

Three-arch acceptance boot clean, Stadium conservation unchanged.

Stroke font (4.3.6-4.3.6g) is now complete. Per this item's own
posture, stopping here before scoping REPL wiring (M8) -- 4.3.7
(TrueType, adjunct) is the scoped-but-not-started next work.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 2960989100 font.4th: TEXT entry point, UTF-8 string rendering (item 4.3.6f)
Punch list §25 item 4.3.6f complete. TEXT ( c-addr u x y size color -- )
walks a UTF-8 byte string, decoding one codepoint at a time via
DECODE-UTF8, drawing each via DRAW-GLYPH, and accumulating the cursor
X by the glyph's em-advance scaled to pixels. Uses 2>R/2R> to stash
the DECODE-UTF8 remainder off the data stack while DRAW-GLYPH's args
are pushed.

Defined in font.4th, not fabric.4th, so its compiled DRAW-GLYPH call
binds to the real definition, not fabric.4th's 4.3.6b placeholder --
same early-binding constraint as DISPATCH-GLYPH itself.

Verified live: a string mixing ASCII, Latin-1 (degree sign), and
General Punctuation (em dash) renders correctly in one TEXT call with
proportional spacing, no overlap.

Three-arch acceptance boot clean, Stadium conservation unchanged.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 aee09cac0a user-font-demo.4th: prove the override mechanism (item 4.3.6e)
Punch list §25 item 4.3.6e complete. Optional capsule, not wired into
the boot chain, overriding DISPATCH-UPPER's codepoint 65 (G-A) with a
marked alternate glyph while every other letter falls through to
font.4th's originals unchanged.

Corrects §27.6.5: redefining the DISPATCH-* bucket word alone is not
enough, since DISPATCH-GLYPH/DRAW-GLYPH are themselves compiled early
against font.4th's own dispatch words (same early-binding finding as
4.3.6c, one layer up). Verified both ways: the partial override (bucket
word only) left DRAW-GLYPH still drawing the original glyph; redefining
DISPATCH-GLYPH/DRAW-GLYPH too made the override take effect.

Three-arch acceptance boot clean, Stadium conservation unchanged.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 ef930ce04e init.4th: wire fabric.4th/font.4th into the boot chain (item 4.3.6d)
Punch list §25 item 4.3.6d complete. Both capsules now EXEC via
Hera's Mama IDENTITY capsule (init.4th block 2049), loading on every
normal boot instead of manual serial injection. Verified by booting
with zero injected commands and calling DRAW-GLYPH directly.

Three-arch acceptance boot clean, Stadium conservation unchanged.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 5d2e1c2184 font.4th: default system font-set capsule, 113 glyphs (item 4.3.6c)
Punch list §25 item 4.3.6c complete. Digits, upper/lowercase, ASCII
punctuation, Latin-1 Supplement, and General Punctuation, each a
stroke-drawing word in the 4.3.6 em-square convention.

Corrected mid-build: the first pass used G-LINE only, missing that
CIRCLE/ARC/ELLIPSE already existed (4.3.3b). Reworked all round shapes
to use them via new em-square-aware wrappers (G-CIRCLE/G-ARC/G-ELLIPSE/
EM-R, fabric.4th 5000-5002), bounded to quarter/half/three-quarter/
full sweeps to avoid unbounded per-glyph angle tuning. font.4th also
redefines DISPATCH-GLYPH/DRAW-GLYPH themselves, not just the six
DISPATCH-* bucket words, since fabric.4th's originals were compiled
early against the 4.3.6b placeholders (CASE early-binding, §27.6.5).

Three-arch acceptance boot clean, Stadium conservation unchanged.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 4427986c96 fabric: codepoint -> glyph dispatch (DISPATCH-GLYPH, TOFU)
Punch list §25 item 4.3.6b complete.
capsules/fabric.4th blocks 4921-4924: DISPATCH-GLYPH routing via
WITHIN to six bucket words (DISPATCH-DIGIT/-UPPER/-LOWER/
-ASCII-PUNCT/-LATIN1/-GENPUNCT), TOFU fallback, DRAW-GLYPH. Buckets
carry one placeholder stroke word each (G-TEST-*), not the real
113-glyph set -- that's item 4.3.6c's scope, deliberately deferred.

Also: merged two lines in block 4920 (DECODE-UTF8) to fit mkcapsule's
real 64-char x 16-line block limit once a trailing blank separator
line is counted against it -- mechanical reformat, re-verified via a
DECODE-UTF8 regression check (65/176/8212, unchanged).

Verified live on amd64: one representative codepoint per bucket plus
one out-of-range codepoint, all seven DRAW-GLYPH results matched
expected exactly (400/600/450/250/550/700/500-TOFU). Three-arch
acceptance boot clean, Stadium conservation unaffected.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 24d6b9e20e fabric: UTF-8 decoder (DECODE-UTF8)
Punch list §25 item 4.3.6a complete.
capsules/fabric.4th blocks 4918-4920: UTF8-SEQ-LEN/UTF8-CONT? verbatim
from §27.6.2, DECODE-UTF8 dispatching to four UTF8-ASSEMBLE-N helpers
(1/2/3/4-byte). Factored into helpers after the single-word draft hit
mkcapsule's real 64-char x 16-line block limit. Verified live on
amd64: a 6-byte test buffer (ASCII + deg-sign + em-dash) decoded to
65/176/8212 across three sequential calls, exact match against
hand-computed codepoints, buffer fully consumed. Three-arch acceptance
boot clean, Stadium conservation unaffected.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 82e948afe9 fabric: em-square glyph coordinate convention (EM-X/EM-Y/G-LINE)
Punch list §25 item 4.3.6 complete.
capsules/fabric.4th blocks 4916-4917: EM-UNITS, GOX/GOY/GSIZE/GCOLOR,
EM-X/EM-Y/G-LINE per §27.6.1, scaling/translating em-square strokes
into CART-PLOT screen coordinates via */. Verified live on amd64 via
a temporary probe (built, run once, reverted): two G-LINE test shapes
at GSIZE 100 and GSIZE 50, one leg each exercising a negative em-y
value chosen to hit */'s truncate-toward-zero behaviour, not a
multiple of EM-UNITS. Screendump pixel-bbox extraction matched
hand-calculated raster coordinates exactly on both shapes. Three-arch
acceptance boot clean, Stadium conservation unaffected
(resident_sum=43691 reservoir=21845 sum=65536 on all three).
