Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 9f0f33dfc5 Stage 4 increment 1: per-device WIREBIND tracking, fixing a real multi-identity detach leak (FABRIC-3.md §XXVIII Stage 4)
capsule_wirebind_unclean_detach()/eject() tracked "the attached identity"
as a single global, correct for the console-pairing UX (one physical
console) but wrong for detach safety: since §XV/§XVI proved multiple
identities genuinely live simultaneously via this same attach path, every
attach after the first silently overwrote the singleton, so an unclean
detach of any but the most-recently-attached identity was silently
ignored -- that VM leaked forever, no trace in the log.

Adds a per-device live-identity table, separate from the (unchanged)
console-pairing singleton, so unclean-detach resolves any attached
device to its own identity. Sized off messaging.4th's own VM-MAX (16)
minus Tripod's 3 reserved slots, not an invented number. Corrects the
stale "single-USB-device constraint" doc claim in capsule_wirebind.h,
false since §XV/§XVI.

Groundwork for Stage 4's real deliverable (WIREBIND VMs as switch-signal
participants) -- this increment only fixes detach targeting; switch-
signal registration is next.

Verified clean on all 3 architectures (no WIREBIND attach happens in a
plain boot, so this is a regression check on the existing Tripod-only
path; live multi-identity verification comes with the switch-signal
registration increment).

include/starkernel/

Headers for LithosAnanke, the bare-metal UEFI kernel (src/starkernel/). Built only via Makefile.starkernel; gated by __STARKERNEL__ when shared with hosted code.

  • uefi.h — UEFI protocol/type definitions consumed by the loader.
  • elf64.h, elf_loader.h — ELF64 parsing and kernel-image loading.
  • boot_info_offsets.h — struct-offset constants shared between the assembly bootstrap and the C boot path.
  • arch.h, apic.h, timer.h — architecture init, APIC interrupt controller, timer (TSC/HPET/APIC, 100 Hz heartbeat).
  • console.h, framebuffer.h, vt100.h — UART 16550 console, framebuffer driver, and VT100 terminal emulation over the framebuffer.
  • pmm.h, vmm.h, kmalloc.h — physical memory manager (bitmap allocator), 4-level x86_64 paging, kernel heap allocator.
  • pci.h, virtio_blk.h — PCI enumeration and the VirtIO block device driver (disk backend for the kernel block subsystem).
  • capsule.h, capsule_birth.h, capsule_loader.h, capsule_run.h, capsule_vm_physics.h, capsule_generated.h — capsule system types, birth protocol, physics-runtime capsule bindings, and the build-time- generated capsule directory (see tools/mkcapsule.c).
  • kernel_args.h, cmdline.h — boot-time kernel argument parsing (starforth.cfg / command line).
  • repl.h — kernel REPL.
  • log.h, doe_log.h — kernel logging and DoE metrics logging.
  • q48_16.h — kernel-build copy of Q48.16 fixed-point arithmetic.
  • xxhash64.h — content-addressing hash used for capsule IDs.
  • hal_memory.h — hardware-abstraction-layer memory interface.

Subdirectories:

  • hal/ — top-level hardware-abstraction-layer interface.
  • vm/ — kernel VM subsystem headers (capsule arena, parity logging, bootstrap wiring).
  • freestanding/ — minimal libc-shim headers (assert.h, ctype.h, errno.h, inttypes.h, math.h, sched.h, signal.h, stdio.h, stdlib.h, string.h, time.h, sys/time.h, sys/types.h) for building shared VM code in the freestanding kernel environment, where no real libc is available.
