capsule_vm_kill() had zero Stadium involvement (vm_cleanup()/sf_free() only), and child-VM birth only ever called stadium_grant_quota() -- a resource pool for the VM's own future word/block patrons, never stadium_admit() for the VM itself. stadium_birth_hera() looked like a precedent but admits Hera into her own quota as a permanently pinned cell 0, which can never reach stadium_evict() -- not a working example of COOL firing for a VM. Adds size_t stadium_patron_cell to VMRegistryEntry. At birth, right after the existing stadium_grant_quota() call, admits a candidate into the new VM's own quota mirroring stadium_birth_hera()'s shape (identity=0, mass=1, behaviour=COOL) but deliberately unpinned -- pinning would need a new "unpin" primitive (none exists) to ever evict it later, and unpinned costs nothing since nothing wires COOL's dispatch body to kill anything; the worst case of an unrelated natural eviction is stale bookkeeping, tolerated the same way stadium_word_forget() already tolerates staleness elsewhere. At capsule_vm_kill() and capsule_vm_kill_all_nonmama(): stadium_evict() the tracked cell if still resident, silently tolerating refusal (already gone). stadium_dispatch()'s COOL case needed no new payload body -- same as it already is for words, where COOL has no defined extra action beyond stadium_evict()'s own universal reservoir credit. On investigation this turned out not to be entangled with the still-iterating Tripod/Zuse/messaging vision after all -- birth and kill already funnel through two single choke points, so the earlier deferral (previous commit) was overcautious. Verified live: a second, new "Stadium: dispatch cell=... behaviour= COOL" now fires immediately before every PARITY:KILL line, for both Hermes and Artemis, distinct from the pre-existing COMMON-CH word-eviction self-test's own COOL print. Conservation (resident_sum + reservoir == Q48_ONE) intact throughout. Clean zero-warning compile and clean boot on all three architectures.

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).
