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.

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.

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).

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.

fb_draw_orientation_test() was a one-time diagnostic for 4.3.1 (raw GOP
framebuffer wiring), already [x] done. With 4.4c's vt100 console now live,
the corner blocks just obscure real console output in every screendump.
Function definition left in framebuffer.c/framebuffer.h for future reuse;
only the boot-time call site is removed.
Also commits routine log/manifest housekeeping: capsules/BLOCK_MAP.md
(regenerated by mkcapsule on each build), the amd64 probe logs from before
today's outage, and the screendump logs + evidence screenshot from this
session's 4.4c/4.4d/4.4e verification.

4.4c/4.4d's fix was screendump-verified on amd64: the framebuffer console
mechanism works and [VMName] genuinely reaches the screen for the first
time. Verifying that screendump surfaced three more issues, each given its
own item per SS25.0 rule 3 rather than folded in silently:
- 4.4e (fixed this session, see prior commit): console_putc() forwarded raw
'\n' to vt100_putc() without '\r', corrupting line-start columns.
- 4.4f (open, not root-caused): character glyphs render vertically flipped.
- 4.4g (open, not root-caused): most of the framebuffer stays blank despite
hundreds of lines of boot output that should have scrolled through it.
Confirmed via a second screendump after the 4.4e fix that 4.4f and 4.4g are
both independent of the \r/\n bug -- unchanged before and after.
Added evidence/ as a new tracked location for durable proof screenshots,
distinct from the existing gitignored fb/ (disposable local eyeballing,
per the 2026-08-07 decision to stop tracking it). Linked from the relevant
4.4c/4.4d/4.4e/4.4f/4.4g entries.
4.4c and 4.4d remain unchecked -- their Done-when criteria require a
three-arch screendump match against the serial log, not yet attempted on
aarch64/riscv64.
