Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 b031b802e3 Rename FABRIC series: FABRIC.md->0, FABRIC-2.md->1, FABRIC-3.md->2, FABRIC-4.md unchanged
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.

Robert Allan James cb4326c712 starkernel: item 4.3.3b -- geometry drawing wordset, fixed Q.TO-INT sign bug
Adds LINE (Bresenham in raster space, endpoints projected once each --
valid because the cavalier projection is linear), CIRCLE/ELLIPSE
(36-segment polygon approximation), and ARC (18 segments over a caller
radian range) to capsules/fabric.4th (blocks 4903-4912). TO-RASTER
factored out of CART-PLOT (same behavior) so LINE can reuse the
projection+flip for both endpoints.

Found mid-implementation: colon definitions cannot span block boundaries
in this capsule loader -- verified with a throwaway test capsule, the
continuation lands in a [CAPSULE][DEFER] path that never resolves. LINE's
body is split across LINE-SETUP/LINE-DONE?/LINE-STUCK?/LINE-STEP, each
self-contained within its block, rather than one long definition.

A fourth real bug, serious this time: CIRCLE's first live test rendered
only one quadrant, then hung the VM for several minutes on a follow-up
call. Root cause: q48_to_u64() (include/q48_16.h and
include/starkernel/q48_16.h, backing Q.TO-INT) did an unsigned logical
shift, corrupting any negative Q48.16 value into a huge garbage integer
instead of sign-extending -- inevitable once Q.SIN/Q.COS leave the first
quadrant. That garbage became a bogus LINE target with no bound on
LINE-STEP's Bresenham loop. Fixed q48_to_u64 to shift through a signed
int64_t intermediate (bit-identical for the non-negative case). Also added
LINE-STUCK? (LSTEPS vs FB-WIDTH+FB-HEIGHT, the true worst case for an
on-screen line) as a defense-in-depth cap against any future bad target.

Verified live on amd64 after both fixes: -65536 Q.TO-INT . now prints -1;
LINE/CIRCLE/ARC/ELLIPSE all complete without hanging or erroring, and a
combined screendump shows all four rendering correctly and distinctly.

All three architectures boot clean to ok> with the DoE completing;
dict_hash identical across all three and unchanged from 4.3.3a (expected
-- fabric.4th isn't loaded at boot, and the Q.TO-INT fix doesn't change
dictionary structure).

FABRIC.md item 4.3.3b marked done with full acceptance evidence.

Robert Allan James 36389e9d4a starkernel: item 4.3.3a -- Q48.16 trigonometry (Q.SIN/Q.COS)
Adds q48_reduce_angle() (range-reduce a signed Q48.16 angle into
[-PI_Q48, PI_Q48] via one integer division plus a bounded fix-up loop) and
q48_sin_approx/q48_cos_approx (Taylor series, terms n=3,5,7,9,11 for sin
and n=2,4,6,8,10 for cos, early exit below 10). Q.SIN/Q.COS registered as
FORTH words in q48_words.c, same pattern as Q.LOG/Q.EXP/Q.SQRT.

Found mid-implementation: this codebase has two independent Q48.16
implementations -- src/word_source/q48_16_words.c (hosted/vendored) and
src/starkernel/math/q48_16.c (kernel-only; the kernel build does not
compile the former at all). The hosted build linked fine after the first
pass; the kernel build failed with undefined references until the same
two functions were added to both .c files and both q48_16.h headers
(include/q48_16.h and include/starkernel/q48_16.h). Not fixed at the root
-- Q.LOG/Q.EXP/Q.SQRT already had this same four-file duplication,
unremarked until now -- just navigated correctly for this item.

Verified live on amd64 via serial injection: sin/cos at 0, +-pi/2, pi, and
3pi (range-reduction across multiple turns) all match expected values
within Taylor-series truncation error (<0.2%).

All three architectures boot clean to ok> with the DoE completing;
dict_hash identical across all three (0x291a660b05fa7b52).

FABRIC.md item 4.3.3a marked done with full acceptance evidence.
