tools/

Build-time and integration-test utilities for the StarForth / LithosAnanke toolchain.

Contents

File	Purpose
mkcapsule.c	Assembles .4th capsule files into capsule_generated.c baked into the kernel image. Invoked automatically by Makefile.starkernel.
mkcapsule	Compiled host binary (rebuilt on demand).
fbtest.c	Host framebuffer render test — VT100/framebuffer unit tests, no QEMU needed.
pe_reloc_gen.py	Generates PE32+ relocation tables for the UEFI loader.
svg_to_png.py	Renders every tracked .svg in the repo to a same-named .png via headless Chromium; leaves the source .svg untouched, run manually.
hermes_smoke.sh	Hermes v1 hosted smoke test — swaps in the Hermes init capsule and prints values for manual inspection.
hermes_channel_smoke.sh	Exercises the full Hermes channel-negotiation lifecycle (CH-REQUEST → CH-ACCEPT → CH-CLOSE → reap) per the protocol in .claude/HERMES.md.
hermes_tripod_smoke.sh	Full Tripod integration test — exercises all 6 inter-VM message paths using the DEFER VM-EXEC/IS VM-EXEC dispatcher shim from init.4th.
kconfig/	Vendored Linux kernel Kconfig tooling (conf/mconf/qconf), GPL-2.0. See tools/kconfig/README.md.

mkcapsule

# Invoked automatically by the kernel build:
make -f Makefile.starkernel ARCH=amd64 clean qemu

# Manual invocation (for inspection):
./tools/mkcapsule capsules/ build/amd64/kernel/capsule_generated.c

Scans capsules/ for .4th files, computes XXHash64 per capsule, assigns type (m) to init.4th and (p) to everything else.
