Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 c7c9332321 Stadium: real block-patron admission + MIGRATE dispatch (FABRIC-3.md §B)
stadium_admit()'s mass==1 refusal looked like a hard blocker for 1024-byte
blocks, but stadium_word_dispatch()'s real candidate construction proves
Stadium cells carry pure identity/heat/bookkeeping, never the resident's
actual content -- a block patron follows the same shape (identity=LBN,
payload unused), so this was real, scoped work, not a case for stubbing.

New stadium_blocks.h/.c mirror stadium_words.c's admission/cooling shape,
keyed by (quota_slot, lbn) in a fixed-capacity open-addressing hash table
(tombstone deletion) instead of a dense array, since LBN space isn't
densely bounded like word_id. Wired into block_word_block()/buffer()/
update() (block_words.c), __STARKERNEL__-guarded. stadium_dispatch()'s
MIGRATE case now calls blk_flush(lbn) for real instead of printing
"(stub)". Three new Kconfig constants (STADIUM_BLOCK_HEAT_QUANTUM/
STADIUM_BLOCK_COOL_RATE_Q48/STADIUM_BLOCK_TRACK_CAP_MULT) mirror the
word-patron ones, same three-layer wiring.

VM-COOL/DELIVER/EXPIRE stay explicit punch-list items -- VM-COOL
deferred pending the still-iterating Tripod/Zuse/messaging vision,
DELIVER/EXPIRE are their own future subsystem integrations per
FABRIC.md's own "open, not resolved" notes.

Verified clean compile (zero warnings) and clean boot to REPL with
conservation intact (resident_sum + reservoir == Q48_ONE) on all three
architectures (amd64/aarch64/riscv64); BLOCK/BUFFER touches exercised
live from the REPL with no crash; a 22,000-distinct-block flood loop
against an artificially shrunk Stadium ran clean under heavy admission
load. A live MIGRATE console fire was not directly observed this
session (root-caused to a pre-existing reservoir-floor/density-eviction
interaction unrelated to this change, documented in FABRIC-3.md) --
flagged as an honest follow-up, not silently claimed.

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.
