%% Vol II, Chapter 2 — Capsule System

\chapter{Capsule System}
\label{vol2:chap:capsules}
%% TODO(bob): opening paragraph. Capsules are immutable, content-addressed VM
%% initialization payloads. Capsule ID = XXHash64 content hash — any mutation
%% is detectable.
\section{Capsule Types}
\label{vol2:sec:capsules:types}

\begin{table}[ht]

\label{tab:capsule-types}
\begin{tabular}{lll}
\toprule
Type code & Name & Purpose \\
\midrule
\texttt{(m)} & \texttt{MAMA\_INIT} & Exactly one Mama VM initialization capsule \\
\texttt{(p)} & \texttt{PRODUCTION} & Truth-bearing baby VM initializers \\
\texttt{(e)} & \texttt{EXPERIMENT} & DoE workload-only initializers \\

\section{Birth Protocol}
\label{vol2:sec:capsules:birth}
%% SOURCE: .claude/CLAUDE.md (Birth protocol section)
The capsule birth protocol:
\begin{enumerate}
\item Locate capsule by name
\item Validate content hash (XXHash64)
\item Allocate VM ID
\item Execute IDENTITY (capsule code)
\item Execute PERSONALITY (block 1 from ramdrive)
\item Log parity record: VM ID + capsule hash + dict hash
\end{enumerate}
\section{Content Addressing and Immutability}
\label{vol2:sec:capsules:hash}
%% TODO(bob): describe XXHash64 and why content addressing guarantees
%% immutability. Reference src/starkernel/hash/xxhash64.c.
\section{Parity Logging}
\label{vol2:sec:capsules:parity}
%% SOURCE: src/starkernel/vm/parity.c (.claude/CLAUDE.md StarKernel M7 Parity)
%% TODO(bob): describe parity.c — logs every VM birth and execution with:
%% VM ID, capsule hash, dict hash.
%% Enable offline determinism verification: independent system loads same
%% capsule and compares dict hashes. Zero-deviation = 0% algorithmic variance.
\section{Capsule Files}
\label{vol2:sec:capsules:files}
%% SOURCE: .claude/CLAUDE.md (Capsule files in capsules/)
%% TODO(bob): table of the 17 .4th capsule files (init.4th, init-0..9, L8 variants).
%% Also describe tools/mkcapsule.c and capsule_generated.c.
\section{Mama Forth Supervisor}
\label{vol2:sec:capsules:mama}
%% SOURCE: docs/working/scratch/src/internal/MAMA_FORTH_SUPERVISOR_ARCHITECTURE.adoc
%% TODO(bob): describe the Mama VM / Baby VM hierarchy and how it maps to
%% the MAMA_INIT capsule type.
