docs(v4): ENGINE step 4 under MACHINE.md; Q1-Q5 and the identity gate ruled

MACHINE.md stands: v3 goes after parity; Hera, Hermes, Artemis (and
Hestia) are kernel functions. ENGINE.md section 2 amended with the rulings,
section 6's step-3 rows struck (R2). The step 4 plan rewritten: Part A
(hook at call, called in-line words) and Phases 1-8 to parity. No identity
thumbdrive, headless; work goes ahead only with Zuse attached.

The Tripod, kernel-Hermes, the C ACL and the v3 PKI words go with it. v4 has rebuilt only the

**Ruled 2026-10-20 (Captain Bob): "MACHINE.md stands; v3 goes after parity; Hera, Hermes, Artemis
are now all kernel."** This section governs where `ENGINE.md` §2 disagrees. Hera, Hermes, Artemis
and Hestia are functions of the kernel, not VMs or nodes; the kernel services that do not touch a
v3 `VM` (the Stadium, the heartbeat, the block subsystem, the capsule and disk signatures, the
identity code) stay, moved out of v3's directories. `ENGINE.md` §2 records the rulings in full,
with the one on identity: no identity thumbdrive, headless; a console only once one is inserted.
POST needs nothing from v3 at run time. `post_cases.c` is committed. `mkpost.py` needs a v3
binary only to write the cases again.
