Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 736627510b Fix riscv64 boot crash: add missing kernel stack trampoline
kernel_main on riscv64 ran directly on EDK2's UEFI boot-time stack, with
no dedicated stack switch — amd64 has always had a kernel_entry.S
trampoline for exactly this reason (its own comment: "the FORTH
interpreter + DOE experiment loop can easily exceed that depth").
aarch64 happens to get away without one because its firmware's default
stack is apparently larger, but that was never a guarantee.

On riscv64 the VM bootstrap's call depth (27 word-registration modules
-> physics/SSM init -> Tripod capsule birth) overflowed that small
stack, corrupting a return address and producing a wild jump / page
fault right after vm_init_with_host() returned — reproduced consistently
across the 2026-08-01 DoE campaign logs.

- src/starkernel/arch/riscv64/kernel_entry.S (new): RISC-V stack-switch
  trampoline mirroring amd64's, giving the kernel a dedicated 2 MiB BSS
  stack before anything deep runs.
- kernel_main.c: riscv64 now builds kernel_main_impl (invoked via the
  trampoline) instead of kernel_main directly, same pattern as amd64.
- Makefile.starkernel: wires the new file into the riscv64 build.
- uefi_loader.c: RAW_LOG() was silently a no-op on every non-amd64 arch;
  added a real raw-UART writer for riscv64 (QEMU virt's uart8250 at MMIO
  0x10000000) so existing loader diagnostics actually produce output.

Verified: all three architectures boot clean to [Hera] ok> in the
required order (amd64, aarch64, riscv64); logs and DoE CSVs from these
runs included.

logs/

QEMU acceptance-run history and Tripod smoke-test results.

  • <timestamp>/{amd64,aarch64,riscv64}/ — 255 timestamped three-arch QEMU acceptance run directories, one per invocation of the kernel QEMU acceptance workflow.
  • qemu-screenshot-*.png, qemu-screenshot-*.log, qemu-{amd64,aarch64,riscv64}-*.log, fbtest-console-*.png — loose timestamped QEMU serial captures and framebuffer screenshots from individual manual runs (not part of the timestamped-directory convention above).
  • hermes-tripod-smoke-results.md, hermes-channel-smoke-results.md — captured output from tools/hermes_tripod_smoke.sh and tools/hermes_channel_smoke.sh.
  • hermes-tripod-integration-design.md — design notes for the Tripod integration test.

Note: QEMU_BASELINE.log at the repo root (not in this directory) is the primary kernel regression baseline referenced by .claude/CLAUDE.md; the logs here are supplementary historical captures. See also logs2/ (a separate, flatter QEMU log archive) and experiments/bare_metal/runs/ (DoE-specific run output).
