Previously deferred (rpi5_native_boot.c's own header comment flagged this as needing interval-splitting logic written blind against hardware not yet in hand) -- revisited by fetching bcm2712-ds.dtsi directly rather than assuming reserved-memory was empty or absent. It has one static child (atf@0, ARM Trusted Firmware's own region) and one dynamic child (linux,cma, size/alloc-ranges only, no fixed reg) -- the dynamic one is skipped, nothing fixed to carve and no allocator this early to service it against anyway. Adds two fdt.c primitives: fdt_find_node_by_name() (reserved-memory has neither compatible nor device_type per DT spec) and fdt_next_child_node() -- one exported symbol, not the two-primitive general sibling-walker originally sketched, collapsed after review since the only real use here is "iterate one node's direct children." collect_reserved_ranges() reads each child's own #address-cells/ #size-cells with a fallback to root's only if absent -- confirmed necessary, not just defensive: reserved-memory's own declared <2>/<1> genuinely differs from root's <2>/<2>. emit_region_with_carveouts() clips a sorted reserved-range list against each RAM region, emitting alternating EfiConventionalMemory gaps and EfiReservedMemoryType carve-outs (insertion sort, no libc qsort in freestanding). RPI5_MAX_MEMMAP_ENTRIES is the exact worst-case count, recomputed rather than estimated -- the rpi5_mailbox.c buffer-size bug is the standing lesson for this pattern. Compile-only-verified; nothing in the existing UEFI/QEMU path calls rpi5_native_boot(), so this cannot be exercised until real hardware. Verified 3-arch boot to ok>/zuse)ok>.

include/
Public headers for the hosted StarForth VM (src/). Kernel-only headers
live under include/starkernel/.
Core VM
vm.h— theVMstruct and all core types (DictEntry,DictPhysics, stacks, dictionary state); the central header most other files include.vm_api.h— external VM API surface.vm_host.h,vm_debug.h,startup.h,version.h— host integration, debug utilities, startup sequencing, version string.cli.h,repl.h,io.h,log.h— CLI parsing, REPL loop, I/O, logging.word_registry.h— word registration system shared by everysrc/word_source/*.cfile.compudynamics.h— the generic compudynamics module: tuning-word/config lookups (cd_tuning_word(),cd_tuning_vm()) consumed byssm_jacquard.c.
Memory / blocks
memory_management.h,dictionary_management.h— dictionary allocator and search.block_subsystem.h,blkcfg.h,blkio.h,blkio_factory.h— logical→ physical block mapper and pluggable block I/O backends (file/RAM).platform_alloc.h,platform_lock.h,platform_time.h— platform abstraction shims (hosted vs. kernel allocation/locking/timing).
Physics-driven adaptive runtime (7 feedback loops)
physics_runtime.h— main physics coordinator.physics_hotwords_cache.h— Loop #1, execution-heat hot-words cache.physics_metadata.h— per-wordDictPhysicsmetadata tracking.physics_pipelining_metrics.h— Loop #4, word-transition prediction.physics_execution_hooks.h— execution instrumentation hook points.rolling_window_of_truth.h,rolling_window_knobs.h— Loop #2 circular execution-history buffer and its tuning knobs.inference_engine.h— Loops #5/#6, window-width and decay-slope statistical inference.dictionary_heat_optimization.h— Loop #1 heat counters.ssm_jacquard.h— L8 Jacquard steady-state mode selector.doe_metrics.h— Design of Experiments (2^7 factorial) metrics.profiler.h— performance profiling hooks.
Arithmetic / codegen
q48_16.h— Q48.16 deterministic fixed-point arithmetic (used instead of IEEE-754 float specifically to keep cross-architecture behavior bit-identical).math_portable.h— portable math helpers.arch_detect.h,starforth_config.h— architecture detection and the build-flag fallback-default layer (used when a.cfile is compiled by hand withoutmake).vm_asm_opt.h,vm_asm_opt_arm64.h,vm_asm_opt_riscv64.h,vm_inner_interp_asm.h,vm_inner_interp_arm64.h,vm_inner_interp_riscv64.h— per-architecture assembler-optimized inner interpreter (USE_ASM_OPT=1).
