Found live while building a cross-ISA FORTH-79 dictionary exerciser: - capsule_exec_init() zeroed a capsule's block content immediately after running it, so LOAD (a genuine FORTH-79 standard word, ACL-allowed even for locked identities) could never actually read back what EXEC had just written. Removed the clear from capsule_exec_init(); block content now persists like any other Standard BLOCK/BUFFER/UPDATE write. kernel_main.c's own explicit post-birth clear of Mama's init.4th range is untouched. - USE could redirect the console to a WIREBIND identity's VM before that VM's vm_enable_interpreter() step of its own birth sequence had run, causing the next typed line to hit vm_assert_interpreter_enabled() and panic the entire machine -- not the per-session-recoverable ACL-fault path a redirected VM otherwise gets. USE now checks interpreter_enabled first and refuses with a retry message instead. Also includes the amd64/aarch64/riscv64 acceptance boot logs and DoE CSVs from this session.

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:
arch/{amd64,aarch64,riscv64}/— per-architecture support (APIC/GIC/ PLIC interrupt controller, timers, boot/ISR assembly).boot/— UEFI loader, ELF loading, kernel command-line parsing.capsule/— capsule birth/run/load/validate pipeline.hal/— hardware-abstraction-layer implementation (console, framebuffer, VT100, memory, host services).hash/— XXHash64 content-addressing implementation.math/— kernel-build Q48.16 fixed-point arithmetic.memory/— physical/virtual memory managers and the kernel heap.pci/— PCI bus enumeration.virtio/— VirtIO block device driver.vm/— kernel VM subsystem (bootstrap, core interpreter, parity logging, capsule arena).
