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).

LithosAnanke — the bare-metal UEFI kernel that boots StarForth directly on
hardware (amd64/aarch64/riscv64). Built only via Makefile.starkernel; the
only valid acceptance test is the three-arch QEMU boot (see
.claude/CLAUDE.md), never make test.
kernel_main.c— kernel entry point, driving the boot milestones (console init, PMM, VMM, interrupts, timers, kmalloc heap, VM bootstrap).repl.c— kernel REPL.doe_log.c— kernel-side DoE (Design of Experiments) metrics logging.
Subdirectories:
