New rpi5_mailbox_get_framebuffer() sends one property-tag request buffer (phys size, virt size, depth, pixel order, virtual offset, allocate-buffer, get-pitch) over the register layout rpi5_dtb.c already discovers, populating an Rpi5FramebufferInfo kept in exact field-for-field sync with uefi.h's FramebufferInfo so console.c/vt100.c/framebuffer.c need no downstream changes once this is wired into a real entry stub. Register offsets (+0x00/+0x18 MBOX0 read/status, +0x20/+0x38 MBOX1 write/status) confirmed against a Pi-5-specific bare-metal reference, independently cross-checked against this codebase's own rpi5_dtb.c translated base address. Caught and fixed a real buffer-overflow bug before compiling: the static request buffer was sized 32 words against an actual 35-word requirement for the 7-tag sequence, recomputed exactly rather than re-estimated; resized to 40 words. Two things flagged as genuinely unverified against real hardware (not guessed past the comment): the allocate-buffer tag's request-size field value, and whether its response address needs classic bus-alias masking on Pi 5 specifically. Compile-only-verified -- no caller yet (that's the still-open entry-stub/DTB constructor items). Verified 3-arch boot to ok>/zuse)ok>.

include/
Public headers for the hosted StarForth VM (src/). Kernel-only headers
live under include/starkernel/.
Core VM
vm.h— theVMstruct and all core types (DictEntry,DictPhysics, stacks, dictionary state); the central header most other files include.vm_api.h— external VM API surface.vm_host.h,vm_debug.h,startup.h,version.h— host integration, debug utilities, startup sequencing, version string.cli.h,repl.h,io.h,log.h— CLI parsing, REPL loop, I/O, logging.word_registry.h— word registration system shared by everysrc/word_source/*.cfile.compudynamics.h— the generic compudynamics module: tuning-word/config lookups (cd_tuning_word(),cd_tuning_vm()) consumed byssm_jacquard.c.
Memory / blocks
memory_management.h,dictionary_management.h— dictionary allocator and search.block_subsystem.h,blkcfg.h,blkio.h,blkio_factory.h— logical→ physical block mapper and pluggable block I/O backends (file/RAM).platform_alloc.h,platform_lock.h,platform_time.h— platform abstraction shims (hosted vs. kernel allocation/locking/timing).
Physics-driven adaptive runtime (7 feedback loops)
physics_runtime.h— main physics coordinator.physics_hotwords_cache.h— Loop #1, execution-heat hot-words cache.physics_metadata.h— per-wordDictPhysicsmetadata tracking.physics_pipelining_metrics.h— Loop #4, word-transition prediction.physics_execution_hooks.h— execution instrumentation hook points.rolling_window_of_truth.h,rolling_window_knobs.h— Loop #2 circular execution-history buffer and its tuning knobs.inference_engine.h— Loops #5/#6, window-width and decay-slope statistical inference.dictionary_heat_optimization.h— Loop #1 heat counters.ssm_jacquard.h— L8 Jacquard steady-state mode selector.doe_metrics.h— Design of Experiments (2^7 factorial) metrics.profiler.h— performance profiling hooks.
Arithmetic / codegen
q48_16.h— Q48.16 deterministic fixed-point arithmetic (used instead of IEEE-754 float specifically to keep cross-architecture behavior bit-identical).math_portable.h— portable math helpers.arch_detect.h,starforth_config.h— architecture detection and the build-flag fallback-default layer (used when a.cfile is compiled by hand withoutmake).vm_asm_opt.h,vm_asm_opt_arm64.h,vm_asm_opt_riscv64.h,vm_inner_interp_asm.h,vm_inner_interp_arm64.h,vm_inner_interp_riscv64.h— per-architecture assembler-optimized inner interpreter (USE_ASM_OPT=1).
See include/starkernel/README.md for the bare-metal kernel headers.
