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.

include/starkernel/

Headers for LithosAnanke, the bare-metal UEFI kernel (src/starkernel/). Built only via Makefile.starkernel; gated by __STARKERNEL__ when shared with hosted code.

  • uefi.h — UEFI protocol/type definitions consumed by the loader.
  • elf64.h, elf_loader.h — ELF64 parsing and kernel-image loading.
  • boot_info_offsets.h — struct-offset constants shared between the assembly bootstrap and the C boot path.
  • arch.h, apic.h, timer.h — architecture init, APIC interrupt controller, timer (TSC/HPET/APIC, 100 Hz heartbeat).
  • console.h, framebuffer.h, vt100.h — UART 16550 console, framebuffer driver, and VT100 terminal emulation over the framebuffer.
  • pmm.h, vmm.h, kmalloc.h — physical memory manager (bitmap allocator), 4-level x86_64 paging, kernel heap allocator.
  • pci.h, virtio_blk.h — PCI enumeration and the VirtIO block device driver (disk backend for the kernel block subsystem).
  • capsule.h, capsule_birth.h, capsule_loader.h, capsule_run.h, capsule_vm_physics.h, capsule_generated.h — capsule system types, birth protocol, physics-runtime capsule bindings, and the build-time- generated capsule directory (see tools/mkcapsule.c).
  • kernel_args.h, cmdline.h — boot-time kernel argument parsing (starforth.cfg / command line).
  • repl.h — kernel REPL.
  • log.h, doe_log.h — kernel logging and DoE metrics logging.
  • q48_16.h — kernel-build copy of Q48.16 fixed-point arithmetic.
  • xxhash64.h — content-addressing hash used for capsule IDs.
  • hal_memory.h — hardware-abstraction-layer memory interface.

Subdirectories:

  • hal/ — top-level hardware-abstraction-layer interface.
  • vm/ — kernel VM subsystem headers (capsule arena, parity logging, bootstrap wiring).
  • freestanding/ — minimal libc-shim headers (assert.h, ctype.h, errno.h, inttypes.h, math.h, sched.h, signal.h, stdio.h, stdlib.h, string.h, time.h, sys/time.h, sys/types.h) for building shared VM code in the freestanding kernel environment, where no real libc is available.
