Create capsules/hestia/init.4th -- FABRIC-3.6.md task 1.2

The third Tripod leg's first real file (FABRIC-3.5.md SII/SIV). Blocks
4986-4987 of the 4986-4996 allocated in task 1.1 (b624133a): WELCOME
banner, then common:messaging.4th load + MSG-CD-INIT + COMMON-CH join
on slot 11, modeled on hermes/init.4th's equivalent shape. No fabric.4th/
font.4th yet -- tasks 1.6/1.7. Not yet birthed -- task 1.4.

Slot 11 is a fresh routing-table slot, not Hermes's slot 1: Hera/
Hermes/Artemis hold 0/1/2 and identities hold 3-10 (messaging.4th:
78-85), and Hermes stays live and fleet-foundation through Phase 1-3
(SXXXIV.4) so his slot isn't free yet.

Deliberately did not add a VM-NAME-REG entry for "Hestia" to
messaging.4th's VM-NAMES-INIT -- Phase 1's own gate is "messaging
untouched" and that table lives in messaging.4th. Consequence: once
birthed, Hestia is COMMON-CH-reachable by raw slot but not yet
VM-EXEC-addressable by name. Flagged in FABRIC-3.6.md rather than
decided -- whichever task first needs name lookup settles where that
one-line addition goes, and it will need its own authorization since
it touches a file Phase 1 promised not to.

mkcapsule --lint capsules/ clean, 38 files / 0 violations. MANIFEST.md
given a matching entry. Three-arch boot clean: amd64/aarch64/riscv64
all reach [zuse@Hera] ok>, zero UNKNOWN WORD, byte-identical to task
0.7's baseline (same dict_hash triple) -- exactly as expected, since an
unbirthed capsule is inert.

Authorized by Captain Bob ("YES").
