Phase D: RUNCAP -- runtime capsule construction from thumbdrive content
capsule_runcap_birth() (new capsule_runcap.h/.c): builds a heap-only, single-entry CapsuleDirHeader + CapsuleDesc + CapsuleNameEntry + arena from a home-blocks drive's identity_src region (skipping the first devblock, reserved for MINT's user_identity_seed_t record) and hands it to the existing, unmodified capsule_birth_baby() -- no new birth mechanism, matching FABRIC-3.md §F.6's own trace. Found and closed a real gap in that trace along the way: capsule_birth_baby()'s signature check calls capsule_get_signatures(), which unconditionally returns the compile-time-baked global array -- meaningless for a heap-built directory, where index 0 would compare RUNCAP's own content against whatever real capsule happens to occupy that slot in the baked array (guaranteed-wrong, not a security check). Added an explicit skip_pki_sig flag (0 for all 4 existing call sites, 1 for RUNCAP): that content's trust comes from CERTVERIFY, a separate root, not the capsule-PKI chain. Also found live: capsule_birth_baby() never sets the registry entry's own .name (every existing caller does this itself afterward via capsule_vm_registry_set_name() -- RUNCAP now does too), and capsule_exec_payload() requires a "Block NNNN" header per chunk of content or it's silently skipped, never executed -- not a bug, but necessary context for whoever authors MINT's default personality content next. Added a small accessor pair (repl.h/.c) exposing the currently attached home-blocks device/sig -- the same gap F.9's own BINDSTEP scoping had already flagged, needed by both. Verified end-to-end live in QEMU: synthetic identity-source content written directly to a thumbdrive image's raw devblocks (no capsule build, no mkcapsule) was read, compiled, and executed by a genuinely new VM via a diagnostic RUNCAP-TEST word -- confirmed via VM-EXEC invoking a word defined only in that source. Clean 3-architecture regression boot (no RUNCAP drive attached) confirms no side effects.

Phase C: distributed messaging capsule + idle-loop pump
Extract the messaging vocabulary (arenas, MSG-*/CH-*/MBR-* words) out of capsules/hermes/init.4th into a new shared capsules/common/messaging.4th that Hermes and Artemis each load at birth, giving every VM its own private MSG-ARENA/CH-ARENA instead of only Hermes having one. Hermes stays the owner of the one real, canonical COMMON-CH; Artemis subscribes into it via VM-EXEC at her own birth, and Hermes proactively subscribes Hera (idx 0) since Hera always exists first. Hera does NOT get her own copy: register_child_vm_words()'s own doc comment explains why the STADIUM-* primitives common:messaging.4th depends on are deliberately never registered in her dictionary (keeps her dict_hash off item 4.1's baseline). Confirmed live by loading it into her dictionary anyway first -- every colon-definition referencing an unregistered Stadium primitive was silently dropped (MSG-HEAT@/!, CH-HEAT@/!, MSG-COOL-ALL, MSG-TICK all missing after boot). Reverted that path; she orchestrates via BIRTH/VM-EXEC/VM-CALL instead. Added capsule_vm_registry_get_by_index() (capsule_birth.c/.h) for registry enumeration by birth-order position, and a pump in repl.c's existing idle hook that walks every live VM once per idle beat and VM-EXECs MSG-TICK into each one except Hera's own entry. Verified clean (no UNKNOWN WORD / VM-EXEC errors after birth) on all three architectures.

Add VMIdentity type, relocate homeblocks_sig_t off devblock 0
Phase A of the identity pipeline (FABRIC-3.md §F.2/§F.16, §F.13):
- New include/starkernel/vm_identity.h: VMIdentity{owner_pubkey[32],
installed, acl_caps}, its own header per the project's "give real-shaped
data its own header" convention (VMUuid's own precedent), embedded by
value on struct VM. acl_caps is an independent capability bitmask, not
an ordered privilege tier (decided 2026-08-28) -- Zuse isn't a
structurally special VM, her identity just has every bit set
(VM_IDENTITY_CAP_ALL). No individual capability bits assigned yet,
deliberate slack matching blk_meta_t's own acl_reserved precedent --
real bits get names once the operation they gate (BINDSTEP, MINT, ...)
actually gets built.
- Applied the devblock-1 relocation decided in §F.13: new
HOMEBLOCKS_SIG_START_FBLOCK constant (homeblocks_sig.h), repl.c's
homeblocks_sig_check() call site updated from the literal 0. Also
applied the still-owed blockmap_offset/blockmap_devblocks ->
identity_src_offset/identity_src_devblocks rename decided in §F.6 (no
other code referenced the old names). Updated the header's own stale
GPT-relative doc comments to match -- GPT was dropped permanently, this
location is final, not an interim stand-in.
Verified live on all three architectures: clean compile, clean boot to
ok>, Hermes/Artemis both confirmed live with no KILL (no regression from
last session's session-less fix). One pre-existing, unrelated anomaly
observed consistently on all three arches, not caused by this change (no
code touched here intersects Zuse's own fence-write path): "Zuse: minted
but fence write FAILED (not persistent)" -- flagged for its own
investigation, not chased here.

Wire homeblocks_sig_check() into USB attach: the warn half (Phase 8)
Wired into sk_repl_idle()'s USB hotplug attach handler, right between blkio_usb_open_msc() succeeding and blk_subsys_attach_device() -- logs a distinct message per outcome (recognized / blank-or-foreign / bad-version / bad-crc / read-error). The "refuse" half is deliberately not implemented -- there is nothing real to gate yet. blkio_usb.c has no SCSI WRITE(10) support at all, so there is no write path today to refuse; attach currently only enables read-only access, which is also the general-purpose USB block I/O path this repo already relies on for unrelated testing, not exclusively a home-blocks identity workflow. Refusing attach on blank media would break that legitimate use without protecting anything real -- same "don't build ahead of a real caller" reasoning EXPIRE's deferral used. Refuse belongs on the write path once WRITE(10) exists. sig_start_fblock is hardcoded to 0 at the call site -- correct for today's unpartitioned raw test/real media (no GPT parser exists yet), flagged in the comment as the one place that changes once a real GPT-partition-relative lookup exists, isolated from homeblocks_sig.c's own location-agnostic check logic. Verified live: hot-attached disk/usb-thumbdrive-test.img (blank media) through a running amd64 instance's QMP socket (blockdev-add + device_add usb-storage) -- captured exactly 4 real TUR+READ10 BOT cycles (matching the header's 4 forth-block span) followed by the correct "not recognized" warning, then normal attach completing successfully afterward (no regression). Conservation intact, no panic. Clean zero-warning compile and clean boot on all three architectures.

sk_repl_idle() auto-flush: implement Section V's "anything dirty? no? done" check
Makes blk_vm_flush_all() (block_words.c) non-static and declares it in block_words.h -- it's already the entire implementation behind SAVE-BUFFERS (block_word_save_buffers() is a one-line wrapper), so sk_repl_idle() can call the exact same flush path outside word dispatch without duplicating any logic. Cheap every idle tick regardless of dirty state: every check inside is a small fixed-size scan, so no separate pre-check was needed on top of it. Caught a real bug via a live persistence test before trusting the feature: the first version gated the flush on sk_repl_get_active_vm() returning non-NULL, but NULL is that accessor's documented default (Tripod's own USE-redirect override, "restore default dispatch") -- without an active USE redirect, the flush silently no-op'd for the entire session. Confirmed live: wrote a byte via BUFFER (no UPDATE/SAVE-BUFFERS), waited past the idle cadence, killed QEMU abruptly, rebooted with the same disk image, read back 0 instead of the written 65. Fixed by threading the VM sk_repl_run()'s own loop already resolves each iteration (g_repl_active_vm ? g_repl_active_vm : vm) down as a parameter through sk_readline() into sk_repl_idle(), rather than trying to re-derive it from an accessor with the wrong default. Re-ran the same test after the fix: read back 65, matching the written byte -- the write survived an abrupt kill with no explicit flush call anywhere in the test, proving the idle-tick auto-flush genuinely ran. All three architectures re-verified clean. FABRIC-2.md Section V item 6 and the corresponding Milestone 3 punch-list item marked done.

Artemis Milestone 2h: hot-detach -- 2h complete
blk_subsys_detach_device() (block_subsystem.c) walks the device chain, refuses removal of anything but the current tail (a mid-chain removal would corrupt every later slot's start_lbn -- this architecture's own doc already argues USB stays last specifically to avoid that), unlinks, shrinks total_user_lbn, closes and frees the slot. Discards rather than flushes dirty state -- the device is physically gone by the time this runs (PORTSC disconnect only). Trigger wiring mirrors the attach path: bot_msc_attached (set only once attach actually succeeds) gates a new bot_msc_detach_pending flag set at PORTSC disconnect (not Disable Slot completion, which is conditionally skipped and would miss concurrent connect/disconnect pairs), consumed in sk_repl_idle(). Advisor flagged the real hazard ahead of time: block_words.c's VM block window (blk_vm_lbn[]/blk_vm_cbuf[]) can go stale across a detach then a same-LBN re-attach, and suggested a pointer-identity re-check in blk_vm_load() as a minimal fix. That fix was implemented, then directly falsified by its own designed-for-this test: attach a blank device, read a block (populating the cache), detach, re-attach a device with distinct content at the identical LBN, read again -- served stale content from the first device. Root cause, confirmed live: glibc's allocator hands free(slot) straight back to the very next same-size calloc(), so the "fresh" and stale pointers were bitwise identical despite being two different devices. Fixed properly with a monotonic blk_subsys_epoch() counter (bumped on every attach/detach) checked by a new blk_vm_check_epoch() helper at the one choke point (blk_vm_find(), plus blk_vm_flush_all() which reads the same arrays directly) that covers every path touching the window cache -- unfooled by address reuse. Verified live with a new disk/usb-thumbdrive-test2.img fixture (distinct content from the existing blank test image): attach A, read (cache hit populated), detach, re-attach B at the same LBN, read again -- correctly ran a fresh device read and returned B's real content, not A's stale cached zeros. The failing pointer-comparison attempt's own capture log kept as evidence, not deleted. All three architectures re-verified clean. FABRIC-2.md Section X 2h marked complete -- enumeration through hot-detach all live and verified; only WRITE(10) (2g's own still-open item) remains unimplemented in the driver, not blocking anything here.

Artemis Milestone 2h: blkio_usb.c backend -- USB thumb drive is now a real block device
Wires a hot-plugged USB Mass Storage device into the block subsystem's unified LBN chain. blkio_usb.c/blkio_usb.h mirror virtio_blk.c/ virtio_blk.h's established shape exactly (singleton state, blkio_vtable_t, a blkio_usb_open_msc() "find" function playing virtio_blk_find_artemis()'s role): read() translates a Forth block into a SCSI LBA/count pair and calls xhci_bot_read_block() + xhci_bot_wait_for_idle(); write() returns BLKIO_ENOSUP (no SCSI WRITE(10) exists yet, and blk_format_or_load_disk() never writes at attach time, so read-only is sufficient -- confirmed by reading that function first, not assumed). Refuses (-2) if the reported SCSI block size doesn't evenly divide the 1024-byte Forth block size. Connect-time wiring reuses the bot_msc_attach_pending/consume-in- sk_repl_idle() shape the prior increment's temp probe already validated, now made permanent: SET_CONFIGURATION sets the flag, sk_repl_idle() (strictly after its own xhci_poll_events() call returns) calls blkio_usb_open_msc() then blk_subsys_attach_device(). Verified live via hot-attach: full chain from USB connect through 'blkio_usb: MSC device ready' to 'blk: disk 'StarForth Volume' v2 LBN 26074..75184 (49111 user blocks)' -- real attachment, disk image confirmed byte-for-byte untouched after. Chased a real debugging detour along the way: the attach initially appeared silent (no blk: log line) -- traced to LOG_INFO filtering at the default LOG_WARN boot level, not a functional bug (settled via a temporary log-level bump, reverted after capture; also found and reported, but did not fix, a pre-existing unrelated Makefile.starkernel bug where --log-level=info via KERNEL_ARGS breaks printf parsing). All three architectures re-verified clean. FABRIC-2.md Section X 2h updated -- only hot-detach remains for 2h.

Artemis Milestone 2d: xHCI Event Ring servicing, polled not interrupt-driven
Implements Event Ring TRB parsing and ERDP dequeue-pointer update
(xhci_poll_events(), src/starkernel/usb/xhci.c), called from
sk_repl_idle()'s existing ~1s idle cadence rather than a per-arch
interrupt handler.
A first attempt wired real interrupt delivery (PCI->IOAPIC GSI routing,
a dedicated isr_stub34/vector 0x22, GIC/PLIC routing mirroring
virtio_input.c). Checked live via QMP query-pci before trusting it: the
amd64 PIRQ swizzle formula predicted GSI 16 for the xHCI controller at
PCI slot 4; the real QEMU-assigned IRQ was 10, and embedded ICH9
functions contradicted the same formula too. Reverted all of it back to
the exact committed baseline rather than chasing chipset PIRQ routing
further, and reframed around Section U item 6's own design intent
("interrupt-driven, coarse cadence, cheap early-exit... quick check
blocks... done") via sk_repl_idle() instead -- USB insertion is a
human-timescale event, not a hot path.
Added -device qemu-xhci to all three QEMU launch targets (required for
any of this to be testable). Verified end to end via genuine post-boot
hotplug (QMP device_add/device_del usb-storage): all three architectures
detect a live attach within seconds. A false-alarm heartbeat "freeze"
found mid-verification traced to querying the wrong counter
(vm->heartbeat.tick_count, which only advances during word execution,
not the kernel's real ISR-driven heartbeat_ticks()) -- confirmed via a
temporary diagnostic word, captured and reverted.
Full writeup, including the discarded interrupt-routing attempt and the
false-alarm investigation, in FABRIC-2.md's Milestone 2c/2d entries.

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.

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.

FABRIC.md item 4.4x: split the REPL prompt into its own bottom strip
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.

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.

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.

repl.c: unify REPL prompt to "[VM name] ok>"
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).

starkernel: converge the tick path and wire the adaptive heartbeat (item 0.8)
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). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> |

Fix ABORT to actually unwind to QUIT instead of one level
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.
