Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 cbe7b49a59 Documentation debt sweep: 5 of 6 items resolved, 1 confirmed accurate
- docs/lithosananke/ROADMAP.md + M7.1.md: fixed stale "Branch: lithosananke"
  (no such branch post-split), M7.1's "Design Complete" status (shipped
  and live, redirected to FABRIC*.md), the M8/success-criteria
  self-contradiction (OBSOLETE marking vs. unqualified live criterion),
  and the stale AHCI/SATA claim for M9 (real implementation is
  virtio_blk.c) -- also corrected BLOCK/BUFFER/UPDATE/FLUSH and block
  device abstraction to [x] since both are confirmed live in
  src/word_source/block_words.c and block_subsystem.c.
- Top-level ROADMAP.md: marked OBSOLETE (Captain Bob's call -- more than
  "stale," the architecture/branch topology/terminology it describes no
  longer exist), pointing to docs/lithosananke/ROADMAP.md and
  FABRIC*.md for current status.
- docs/03-architecture/word-acl/DESIGN.md: fixed the ACL Phase 7
  contradiction -- Phase 7 (LithosAnanke kernel parity) is independently
  verified complete per .claude/CLAUDE.md, not "remaining"; removed the
  stale lithosananke-branch-parity framing.
- VM-FLEET-ATTRACTOR-DESIGN-20260705.md's doe-campaign.4th "broken" claim:
  investigated, ran SMOKE-CAMPAIGN live (completes clean, fleet heat
  conserved) -- initially read as contradicting the claim, corrected
  directly by Captain Bob: a clean execution trace doesn't disprove the
  doc's actual argument (no real controlled-experimental-factor
  mechanism). Confirmed accurate, left untouched.
- Isabelle/HOL pipeline-metrics model/C-struct mismatch: confirmed a real
  proof-modeling gap (pm_last_accuracy_num/den has no analogue in the
  real PipelineGlobalMetrics struct), not stale prose -- tracked here
  rather than fixed, matching the .thy file's own scope boundary and
  this project's standing caution that each Isabelle gap needs its own
  subsystem model.

ACL-RWT DoE overhead re-measurement (the 6th item) intentionally not
started -- a full multi-architecture DoE campaign, not a doc-text fix,
holding for explicit confirmation given the scale.

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. See formal/CLAUDE.md for 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.md and lithosananke/M7.1.md.
  • Word-level ACL system — Phase 6 complete on master; Phase 7 (LithosAnanke parity) is the next step. See 03-architecture/word-acl/README.md.
  • Tripod VMs — Hera (governor), Hermes (messenger), Artemis (memory/block storage). See 03-architecture/tripod/README.md and birthing/.

Contributing

  • Place new material in working/ first; promote to formal/ only when it's ready to be cited (see formal/CLAUDE.md for promotion criteria).
  • Never touch patent/, formal/patent/, formal/scraps/legal/, or working/legal/ without Bob's explicit instruction.
  • Add a README.md to any new category-level subdirectory, following the format used throughout this tree: orientation paragraph + bullet list of real files with one-line descriptions.
