Rewired stadium_birth_hera() to admit unpinned then register through session_register()/session_set_pinned() instead of setting STADIUM_FLAG_PIN directly on the candidate header. Self-referential parent (vm_uuid_hera(), vm_uuid_hera()), matching capsule_run.h's parent_vm_id == vm_id root convention. Soft-fail, non-fatal, if session_register() fails -- Hera's actual Stadium admission is what the patron-zero invariant is about. Wired session_boot_init() into kernel_main.c right after stadium_boot_init(), before stadium_birth_hera(). Also converted §H.12's punch list from bold "DONE" markers to this document's established - [ ]/- [x] checkbox convention (already used throughout §A), for consistency. Verified 3-arch boot to ok> (amd64/aarch64/riscv64), no soft-fail message on any arch, Hermes/Artemis births unaffected. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
capsules/
FORTH personality files loaded by the VM at boot. A capsule is an immutable, content-addressed payload; its XXHash64 hash is its identity. Any mutation changes the hash and the birth protocol rejects the image.
