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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Punch list §25 item 4.4a complete.
Removed the manually-built <Name>)ok>/zuse)ok> prompt suffix from
sk_repl_step()/sk_repl_run() -- console.c's console_putc() already emits a
"[VMName] " prefix at line-start, so the old code was double-printing the
name for non-Hera VMs ("[Hermes] Hermes)ok> "). Now prints only "ok> " and
lets the existing prefix supply the bracket. emergency_console/zuse_session
security semantics unchanged, display-only. Verified: all three
architectures boot live to "[Hera] ok>" (logs/20260811-073408 amd64,
logs/20260811-073448 aarch64, logs/20260811-073542 riscv64).

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

ABORT is documented and tested in this codebase as standard FORTH-79
behavior -- system_words_test.c:63: "Should clear stacks and return to
QUIT" -- meaning it should unwind all the way back to the outermost
interpreter loop, abandoning whatever's left of the current line/block.
The implementation only unwound one level: every place that checked
vm->abort_requested cleared it the instant it saw it, so it never
survived to propagate past the first nested frame.
This surfaced via Artemis's ART-HALT-UNRECOG (capsules/artemis/init.4th):
on an unrecognized disk it correctly printed "ARTEMIS HALT: unrecognized
disk content" and called ABORT, but WELCOME (the next line in the same
block) ran anyway, and Artemis announced ready to Hermes and joined the
fleet normally -- contradicting .claude/ARTEMIS.md's "Refuse to mount...
do not overwrite it" requirement. Root cause is general, not
Artemis-specific, and present identically in both the hosted and kernel
VM cores.
Fixed at every level execution can nest through, verified by exhaustively
grepping every !vm->error-gated continuation loop and adding the parallel
!vm->abort_requested check:
- execute_colon_word (src/vm.c, src/starkernel/vm/vm_core.c): stop
clearing the flag on return -- every colon-word call is a recursive
call to this same function, so leaving it set lets every enclosing
frame's own check also unwind.
- vm_interpret (src/vm.c, src/starkernel/vm/vm_core.c): stop parsing
further words in the current input string once the flag is set.
- exec_block_with_retry (src/starkernel/capsule/capsule_loader.c):
capsule birth's line-by-line block executor -- stop processing further
lines in the current block, but return 0 (not -1), so
capsule_exec_payload still loads later blocks in the same capsule
payload. Returning -1 here would have silently broken word definitions
in blocks that come after the aborting one for reasons unrelated to
why it aborted (concretely, Artemis's ART-PING/LOAD-DOE in blocks
4851/4852, which follow the entry block 4133).
- THRU and --> (src/word_source/block_words.c): stop processing further
blocks/lines in their own loops.
- DODOES (src/word_source/defining_words.c): the CREATE...DOES> runtime
has its own hand-rolled execution loop, separate from
execute_colon_word -- same bug class, same fix. Also guarded the
post-loop "if (vm->rsp < base_rsp) vm->rsp = base_rsp" clamp so it
doesn't fire on an abort exit -- ABORT's own reset_vm_state() already
set rsp; restoring it to base_rsp would have partially undone that.
- Both REPL loops (src/repl.c, src/starkernel/repl.c x2 call sites):
clear the flag after each line, mirroring the existing vm->error
pattern, so a mid-line abort doesn't silently freeze subsequent
interactive input.
Verified directly: ": AB-TEST 1 2 3 ABORT 999 . ; AB-TEST 42 . CR
777 . CR" -- 999 never prints (stops mid-colon-word), 42 never prints
(stops the rest of the same line), 777 prints fine (next line
unaffected). Artemis: WELCOME/"Artemis ready" no longer fires after the
halt message. No regression: all three architectures still show PASS:
persist-read, PASS: E2E msg flow, and matching dict_hash on the normal
(non-aborted) boot path; hosted test suite 965 passed / 0 failed.
Known follow-up, not fixed here (see memory for details): Artemis still
announces ready to Hermes via a separate call path (CD-INIT, block 4141)
that never went through capsule_exec_payload's block chain in the first
place, and the disk file still picks up incidental writes even on a
correctly-halted boot -- likely generic block-subsystem housekeeping,
not traced yet.
