docs(v4.0.0): the opcode's accounts are left unwired for now
Captain Bob, 2026-10-05: observe the opcode counts, build no opcode patron layer yet; likely needed at the FPGA; keep it available. Amends section 2.7: word patrons do not become opcode patrons now. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

## 1h. The opcode's accounts: left unwired for now (2026-10-05)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Asked what the opcode's own accounting rules are, Captain Bob: "For the
|
||||||
|
moment, I think we're going to leave it unwired and kind of maybe just
|
||||||
|
make some observations on it and see if we even need it, as far as
|
||||||
|
opcodes are concerned. I think we will when we go to FPGA, but for now,
|
||||||
|
let's just hang on to the thought and make sure that it's available if
|
||||||
|
needed."
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- No opcode patron layer is built. Opcodes are not wired to the Stadium.
|
||||||
|
- The node goes on counting each opcode as it retires
|
||||||
|
(`v4_heat.op[32]`, `v4/src/heat.c`), and the anti-clock. Those counts
|
||||||
|
are real and are there to be observed. Nothing reads them to decide
|
||||||
|
anything.
|
||||||
|
- This amends section 2.7 and the reading in section 1c: a VM's word
|
||||||
|
patrons do **not** become opcode patrons now.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
**Reading, stated to Captain Bob and to be corrected if wrong:** with
|
||||||
|
opcodes unwired and v4 = v3 functionally, a word on v4 keeps a word's
|
||||||
|
accounts as v3 has them — its Stadium cell by `stadium_words.c`'s rules,
|
||||||
|
and the `execution_heat` the ACL reads — taken at the call hook of
|
||||||
|
section 1f, which is where a v4 node dispatches a word.
