Punch list §25 item 0.1 complete. Verified: all three architectures build clean and boot to the ok> prompt with Hera alone. Blocks executed are exactly 2057 -> 2049 (-> lib.4th/4050) -> 2050. Zero occurrences of "Hermes" or "Tripod" in any of the three serial logs, and the only parity record is MAMA_INIT -- no baby VM is born. mkcapsule --lint passes 26 files, 0 failing, 0 violations. Deleted blocks 2051, 2052, 2053, 2054, 2055, 2056, 2058, 2059 -- readiness handshake, broadcast test, TRIPOD-TEST, HERMES-E2E and the fleet-DoE scaffolding. Edited 2057 (banner), 2049 (dropped both births with their CD-INIT calls and the common:msg.4th / process.4th loads, which are wholly Hermes-dependent; kept lib.4th; VM-TREE and VM-CHILDREN no longer name absent children) and 2050 (kept the BOOT-BANNER call, dropped the two calls to the deleted words). capsules/hermes/ and capsules/artemis/ untouched on disk. New Hera-alone parity baseline, identical across all three ISAs: dict_hash=0x3d4e1daf289da94f capsule_hash=0xb4c4b5559146a3bd This supersedes the pre-prune baselines in logs/ and is what item 0.10's double-boot reproducibility check compares against. Commit contents beyond the item's own edit, noted rather than slipped in: capsules/BLOCK_MAP.md is regenerated by any build; the three serial logs are this item's acceptance evidence and CLAUDE.md requires committing them; the DoE CSVs are auto-extracted by the qemu target on every run. Leaving generated output from this item's acceptance run for a later item to sweep up would be worse than including it here. Reported, not fixed: tools/mkcapsule.c emits two -Wstringop-truncation warnings on the host build (:404, :562), pre-existing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
capsules/
FORTH personality files loaded by the VM at boot. A capsule is an immutable, content-addressed payload; its XXHash64 hash is its identity. Any mutation changes the hash and the birth protocol rejects the image.

Block namespace
Block ranges are shared across all loaded capsules — collisions cause silent word-definition overwrites.
| Range | Owner |
|---|---|
| 2048–2099 | init.4th |
| 2100–2199 | doe.4th |
| 3000–3999 | workload capsules |
| 4000+ | user-defined (ACL.4th, zuse.4th, …) |
Each block is limited to 1024 bytes. Verify with wc -c before committing.
