Scope decided with Captain Bob before implementation: ring buffer + recall on today's full-screen vt100 grid, not also confining REPL text to the 4.4o 640x480 box (that confinement stays open as its own future item, not a third silent deferral). No keyboard input path exists yet (M8 unstarted), so the trigger is two new FORTH words, SCROLL-BACK ( n -- ) / SCROLL-FWD ( n -- ), exercised via serial injection. vt100.c gains a text-only 1000-line ring buffer (kmalloc'd, tens of KB -- not pixel snapshots, which would be ~1000x larger for no benefit) plus a shadow buffer mirroring the current screen. scroll_up() now pushes evicted rows into the ring before the pixel scroll. History is one continuous sequence (ring then shadow); scrolling always redraws from that sequence -- no separate pixel-scroll path for scrollback, decided up front to avoid retrofitting later. New src/word_source/scroll_words.c (Module 31), thin wrappers over console_fb_scroll_back()/_fwd() -> vt100_scroll_back()/_fwd(). Bug caught during live testing: both words initially used an off-by-one underflow check (dsp < 1) copied from a different, older dsp convention elsewhere in this codebase; vm_pop() (which these words actually call) uses dsp as a 0-based top-of-stack index, so the check rejected every legitimate single-argument call. Fixed by removing the separate precheck and relying on vm_pop()'s own guard. Live-verified on all three architectures (exceeds this item's amd64-minimum bar): generated 50+ lines via a FORTH loop, confirmed SCROLL-BACK recovers correctly older content, and on amd64 confirmed SCROLL-FWD returns to genuinely live state (not a frozen snapshot) by showing the injected commands' own echo. Known limitation confirmed by direct pixel measurement: redrawn lines lose their original SGR color (not stored per-cell) -- text recovers exactly, color does not. Three-arch verified: Failed: 0, dict-hashes identical across all three (values changed correctly from prior items -- two new words were added). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
