Addresses items #1 (partial) and #2 of docs/working/archive/session-logs/2026-07-24-punch-list.md. docs/lithosananke/hosted-acceptance-test/README.md: - riscv64 leg used riscv64-linux-gnu-gcc, which fails to build this tree (nanosleep visibility under -std=c99). Replaced with the working clang-18 --target=riscv64-linux-gnu --sysroot=/usr/riscv64-linux-gnu invocation, verified end-to-end. - All three arch sections referenced a -c "<script>" flag that has never existed in cli.c/main.c. Corrected to the working `echo "..." | starforth -s` pattern, verified on all three architectures. - Updated Prerequisites: qemu-user alone is sufficient (guest binaries are static; qemu-user-static provides static *emulators*, not required here). Source fixes (ported from the old pre-split monorepo's master, commit 4db9946a, where they were made but never carried over to this line): - src/math_portable.c: `-100LL << 16` is UB (shifting a negative value) under clang's -Wshift-negative-value; changed to `-(100LL << 16)`. - src/physics_pipelining_metrics.c: removed dead q48_mul_q48() (-Wunused-function under clang; GCC doesn't flag this by default). - src/word_source/editor_words.c: removed dead set_scr() (same reason). These three were required just to get the documented clang build to compile at all. The punch list's higher-severity item — a genuine SIGSEGV-causing register-reuse hazard in vm_pop_asm/vm_rpop_asm (include/vm_asm_opt_riscv64.h) — is intentionally NOT included here; it's a separate, more careful change and isn't required for this build to succeed (latent only under clang; this repo's kernel build uses GCC). Verified: all three hosted builds compile and run correctly (amd64 native, aarch64 via qemu-aarch64, riscv64 via qemu-riscv64), each printing "3 Goodbye!" for the piped `1 2 + . BYE` script. All three Makefile.starkernel builds (amd64/aarch64/riscv64) still compile cleanly with these shared vendored-source changes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
StarForth / LithosAnanke Documentation
This is the lithosananke branch: the bare-metal StarKernel side of the project
(contrast master, which is the hosted-VM-only side). Documentation follows the
two-tier model described in docs/CLAUDE.md: formal/ is the polished,
citable LaTeX tier; working/ is living design notes and drafts that feed it.
Everything else in this directory is branch- or subsystem-specific material that
doesn't fit either tier.
Layout
- formal/ — Three-volume LaTeX documentation set (research volumes,
practitioner books, standalone reports) plus the
scraps/fragment library it's assembled from. Audience: patent counsel, SSRN reviewers, licensees, hobbyists with hardware in hand. Seeformal/CLAUDE.mdfor authoring conventions. - working/ — Living documents: architecture design notes, DoE
experiment logs, hardware/platform notes, draft specs, academic-paper source
material, and an archive of superseded docs. Source material for
formal/. - 03-architecture/ — Tripod VM architecture constraints (Hera/Hermes/Artemis) and the word-level ACL system design.
- lithosananke/ — LithosAnanke kernel branch documentation: milestone roadmap, system architecture, HAL reference, kernel command-line argument design, and the amd64 APIC-timer ISR postmortem.
- birthing/ — VM birthing plan and status for the Hera-spawns- Hermes/Artemis constellation, plus three-architecture QEMU acceptance logs.
- patent/ — Provisional patent application source. Legal hold — ask Bob before touching anything in this directory.
- api/ — Generated Doxygen tag file and warnings log (gitignored; not part of the tracked doc tree).
- pptx/ — Elevator-pitch and deep-dive slide decks for different audiences (technical, non-technical, academic, PhD-level).
Current Active Work
- LithosAnanke M7/M7.1 — VM parity validation and init capsule architecture.
See
lithosananke/README.mdandlithosananke/M7.1.md. - Word-level ACL system — Phase 6 complete on
master; Phase 7 (LithosAnanke parity) is the next step. See03-architecture/word-acl/README.md. - Tripod VMs — Hera (governor), Hermes (messenger), Artemis (memory/block
storage). See
03-architecture/tripod/README.mdandbirthing/.
Contributing
- Place new material in
working/first; promote toformal/only when it's ready to be cited (seeformal/CLAUDE.mdfor promotion criteria). - Never touch
patent/,formal/patent/,formal/scraps/legal/, orworking/legal/without Bob's explicit instruction. - Add a
README.mdto any new category-level subdirectory, following the format used throughout this tree: orientation paragraph + bullet list of real files with one-line descriptions.
