proof/FINDINGS.md's Isabelle/HOL word-source sweep (§4) flagged five real defects; this fixes all five and records resolution in that doc: - EXECUTE (system_words.c): cast a popped cell straight to a DictEntry* and called through it with only a null check. Now validates via a new shared vm_dict_entry_ok(), promoted out of starforth_words.c's ENTROPY@/ENTROPY! guard (dictionary_management.c) so EXECUTE gets the same live-entry check. - ? and DUMP (format_words.c): dereferenced the popped cell as a raw host pointer, bypassing vm_addr_ok entirely (out-of-VM-bounds read). Both now go through VM_ADDR/vm_addr_ok/vm_load_cell/vm_ptr like every other memory word (@, `,`, editor_words.c). - TYPE (io_words.c): bounds check computed addr+count in signed 64-bit arithmetic, which can overflow and bypass the check on large operands. Replaced with vm_addr_ok(), which is written to avoid that overflow. - DECIMAL/HEX/OCTAL (format_words.c): wrote only the BASE memory cell, never vm->base, the host-mirror field number-output words actually read via current_base() -- so these words silently affected number parsing but never printing. Now call the existing vm_set_base() (previously only used at boot init), which updates both. vm_get_base/vm_set_base promoted to public declarations in include/vm.h. - ALIGN vs ALLOT/,/C,/2, (dictionary_words.c): disagreed on dictionary growth ceiling (2MB vs 5MB). Investigated which was correct rather than blindly widening: vm_get_block_addr() maps block N to vm->memory + N*BLOCK_SIZE across the full 5MB arena, and USER_BLOCKS_START (block 2048) lines up exactly with DICTIONARY_MEMORY_SIZE -- so ALLOT/,/C,/2, letting `here` grow past 2MB could silently corrupt live block/user data sharing that memory. Tightened ALLOT/,/C,/2, to DICTIONARY_MEMORY_SIZE to match ALIGN. Verified: hosted (amd64) and kernel (amd64, __STARKERNEL__) both build clean with -Wall -Werror; hosted POST suite 1012/1012 passing (0 regressions); manually exercised EXECUTE, ?/DUMP, TYPE, HEX/DECIMAL/OCTAL, and large-ALLOT rejection in the REPL.
