FABRIC.md -> FABRIC-0.md
FABRIC-2.md -> FABRIC-1.md
FABRIC-3.md -> FABRIC-2.md (the current/living document)
FABRIC-4.md unchanged (new #3 to follow separately)
Every cross-reference repo-wide updated to match, including doc-comment
citations inside kernel source (.c/.h) files -- done via an ordered
placeholder substitution (FABRIC-3.md->placeholder2, FABRIC-2.md->
placeholder1, FABRIC.md->placeholder0, then placeholders resolved to
final names) in a single pass per file to avoid double-shifting
already-renamed references.
One line in capsules/font.4th grew past the 64-char block-format limit
as a side effect of the longer filename; shortened it and reverified
with mkcapsule --lint (34/34 pass) before rebuilding.
Verified 3-arch boot to ok> (amd64/aarch64/riscv64, each in the
foreground) after the fix; logs and DoE CSVs from this session's
verification runs included per this repo's own audit-artifact
convention.

Before flipping, found CAPSULE_SIG_MISSING (no signature at all) is the
normal state everywhere except this machine -- CI and any other
checkout have no access to the offline key, by design. Refusing on
MISSING the same as INVALID would brick boot everywhere but here.
Decided (on request): enforce ONLY on CAPSULE_SIG_INVALID (a signature
that IS present but doesn't verify -- unambiguous tampering/corruption
evidence). MISSING/NO_ROOT_KEY stay WARN-only permanently.
All three capsule_birth.c call sites now return CAPSULE_RUN_ERR_INVALID
on CAPSULE_SIG_INVALID, after logging the same WARN as before.
Verified on all three architectures, both directions, per the original
rollout commitment: positive case (real signed capsules) reboots clean
with zero warnings on amd64/aarch64/riscv64. Negative case (same
one-byte signature corruption used for the WARN-only proof, on Mama's
own init.4th) now genuinely refuses identically on all three:
"capsule sig: init.4th: INVALID" then "Init: Mama birth FAILED". The
feared "no ok> at all" blast radius didn't materialize -- kernel_main.c
already had graceful error handling for a failed Mama birth (log and
continue, pre-existing code); the kernel reaches a degraded ok> rather
than crashing, on all three architectures. Final acceptance pass (real
signed capsules, tampering reverted) clean on all three.
Milestone 6 is now fully closed except magic-number content-type
detection (shared with Milestone 4, separate scope, not started).
Documented in FABRIC-3.md.

First attempt shelled out to `openssl pkeyutl -sign` (fork/execlp, not
system() -- avoided shell string interpolation of the key path).
Corrected on request: no new external host binary dependency when the
repo's own code can do the job -- same standing preference as the
earlier anti-file correction. Rewritten to link ed25519_sign() (already
verified against OpenSSL in Phase B) directly into mkcapsule.
New tools/pkcs8_ed25519.c: a narrow DER walker (same shape as
x509_ed25519.c, deliberately not shared -- small enough that
duplicating a few TLV-walking lines beat threading a header between the
kernel crypto tree and host tooling) extracting the raw seed from the
intermediate's PKCS#8 private key, plus a minimal self-written base64
decoder (PEM is openssl genpkey's default output; no decoder existed
anywhere in the repo). Verified end-to-end before wiring anything in:
the extracted seed's derived pubkey matches the cert's exactly, and a
full self-contained sign+verify round-trip (zero openssl) passes.
CapsuleDesc had no spare bytes, so signatures live in a new parallel
CapsuleSigEntry array, emitted by a new `mkcapsule --sign-key <path>`
flag (omitted/missing key -> has_sig=0 everywhere, graceful, not a
build failure -- CI has no access to the offline key).
New capsule_sig.c/.h: capsule_verify_signature(), a separate function,
not folded into the already-tested capsule_validate(). Finds and caches
the embedded intermediate cert's pubkey once per boot, then verifies
against it. Wired into all three capsule_validate() call sites in
capsule_birth.c via log_message(LOG_WARN, ...) -- never refuses yet,
per the earlier staged-rollout decision.
Verified independently, both directions, live in the real kernel: a
full clean build (38 signed capsules) boots clean on all three
architectures with zero warnings. Separately, hand-corrupted one byte
of Mama's own init.4th capsule's stored signature (not its payload/hash,
which capsule_validate() already catches and would have masked the
test) and rebuilt just the changed object: produced exactly "capsule
sig: init.4th: INVALID -- signature does not verify" on boot, and the
kernel still reached ok> -- proving warn-only doesn't refuse anything
yet. Reverted before the final, untampered 3-arch acceptance pass.
Still open: flipping WARN to hard-refuse (separate, deliberate step)
and the BLOCK_MAP.md signature-status column. Documented in FABRIC-3.md.
