MACHINE.md 2.2. UM*, UM/MOD, D+, DNEGATE, Q.* and Q./ are entries 0-5
of the host ROM and of a mesh node's ROM, from one source (rom/math.f18)
and one entry list (v4/rom_entries.h). The host ROM starts at entry 18.
The mesh ROM is 277 words; the host ROM 2372.

- Text after start is refused, as text.c refuses it: before it jumps, the
ROM reads on to the end of the source; blanks, comments and the ends of
blobs may follow, a token is ERR-AFTER (26), "text after start".
- A token too long where a name, a target or a value is wanted is "name
too long", as text.c says: (MISSING) reports "missing" only when no error
came first. `", keeps "missing", which is text.c's word for both.
- text.c's "address out of range" names the address, not the value.
- The system's source files are one list, v4/sys_files.h: boot.c, the
harness and the nucleus test are made from it.
- The ROM's error codes and words are one list, v4/rom_errors.h: boot.c's
messages, host_map.h's ROM_ERR_* and mkmap's ERR-* are made from it.
- node.h says what v4_node_store does with a ROM address (nothing, as for
any address outside RAM, D-14); test_host_rom_range pins it.
ROM: 2095 words, rom_hash 0x06d0dcb7a0cb41a1. dict_hash unchanged,

- The boot left the source's last new line in the console input, and the
first KEY after the boot read it. What the ROM has not read when it
starts the system is taken back (boot.c, rom_harness.h). hosted-check:
KEY after the boot reads the key typed.
- A comment or macro left open at the end of a blob ran on into the next,
and the ROM accepted source text.c refuses. The loader ends each blob
with FS (V4_ROM_BLOB_END) after its new line; the ROM ends a blob there
as text.c ends a file: an open comment or macro is an error, and the word
being assembled ends. test_host_rom_asm: seven blob pairs against text.c.
- store to an address outside RAM faulted the ROM with no message. It is
now refused, as text.c refuses it: ERR-RANGE, "address out of range".
- The kernel build did not regenerate capsules/v4/sys/map-<w>.f18 before
packing the capsule directory; it now does.

word.f18: (NEXT-TOKEN) reads the console or a macro being expanded; labels,
branches by name (a label of the word, or a word, now or later), the
table of branches waiting, end of word, FOR/NEXT/UNEXT, macros, &NAME,
CONST+N, and (ONE), which dispatches a token. A forward branch to a name
not yet defined waits on a placeholder symbol, filled in by (DEFINE).
dir.f18: constant set here #, ", store, and start, which resolves, clears
the tables the ROM used and runs the word it names. main.f18: the ROM
itself, entry 12; on an error it stops at (ROM-FAILED) with the code and
line in its state, for the loader to report. sym.f18 generalized: any
counted string, placeholders, a hash of only a name's own cells.
test_host_rom_asm.c gives test_text.c's own texts (accepted and refused),
its four real definitions and the ROM's directives to text.c and to the
ROM: the same words, the same errors on the same lines, at both widths.
The ROM is 2036 words.
