Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 5e9802845a Implement SCSI WRITE(10), closing the graph's highest-leverage blocker
Direct mirror of the existing READ(10) implementation (FABRIC-3.md §F.1),
data direction flipped: new XHCI_XFER_BOT_DATA_OUT/XHCI_NEXT_ACTION_BOT_DATA_OUT
states, xhci_bot_send_write10()/xhci_bot_write_block()/xhci_bot_write_data_out()
in xhci.c, new SCSI_CMD_WRITE10 opcode and BOT_CMD_WRITE10/BOT_TUR_CHAIN_WRITE10
enum values. usb_blk_write() in blkio_usb.c is real now, no longer the
BLKIO_ENOSUP stub. read_only flips to 0 in blkio_info() now that it's proven.

Verified live end-to-end on all three architectures with a genuine cold-reboot
round-trip (not just a same-session read): BLK-CONFIRM-FORMAT's BAM/reloc
writes and an explicit block content write both completed via clean WRITE10
cycles (CSW PASS), and the written byte read back correctly after a full
kernel rebuild + fresh boot -- amd64=65, aarch64=170, riscv64=201, each at
LBN 32734 on a disposable usbwrite-test.img attached via QEMU usb-storage.

Added Makefile.starkernel's QEMU_EXTRA (empty by default, no behavior change)
to attach the disposable test image for this validation; the drive must be
hotplugged via QMP after boot reaches ok>, not attached at QEMU launch --
attaching before xhci_bringup()'s controller reset means no fresh Port
Status Change event fires (see project_xhci_milestone_2d_polling memory).

Found and reported, not fixed, during testing: EMPTY-BUFFERS
(empty_all_buffers(), block_words.c) does not implement standard Forth-79
semantics -- it force-writes zero to every block on every attached device
instead of discarding cache assignments. This corrupted disk/artemis.img
during an earlier test run; restored from git, confirmed byte-identical.
Avoided in the final validation runs (detach/reattach used instead to force
a fresh read).

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.
