Review of the stick's increment 3 (a4221d8b..c416c805), on Captain Bob's word: - check_images.sh deletes both images before building and makes each build a check: a failed build left last run's lithos-pc.img in place, and every stick check passed against it. - mkartemis takes --first-lba and --sectors as plain decimal numbers only: "abc", "-2", "2048x" and the like formatted at LBA 0, over the GPT. - mkartemis --format reopens the image read-only and reads the volume back: blk_commit_format ignores its own write errors, so a header that never landed was reported formatted. The header is read from the disk and judged as attach judges it (magic, version 2, BAM size); blk_get_volume_meta gives the in-memory geometry of a blank disk, magic included, so --check no longer relies on it either. check_images.sh keeps each case as a check (40, PASS). stick_boot and datastick on amd64/aarch64/riscv64 PASS on the rebuilt tools.

tools/
Build-time and integration-test utilities for the StarForth / LithosAnanke toolchain.
Contents
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
mkcapsule.c |
Assembles .4th capsule files into capsule_generated.c baked into the kernel image. Invoked automatically by kernel/Makefile. |
mkcapsule |
Compiled host binary (rebuilt on demand). |
ttftest.c |
Host TTF glyph-rendering test — font rasterization unit tests, no QEMU needed. |
pe_reloc_gen.py |
Generates PE32+ relocation tables for the UEFI loader. |
svg_to_png.py |
Renders every tracked .svg in the repo to a same-named .png via headless Chromium; leaves the source .svg untouched, run manually. |
hermes_smoke.sh |
Hermes v1 hosted smoke test — swaps in the Hermes init capsule and prints values for manual inspection. |
hermes_channel_smoke.sh |
Exercises the full Hermes channel-negotiation lifecycle (CH-REQUEST → CH-ACCEPT → CH-CLOSE → reap) per the protocol in .claude/HERMES.md. |
hermes_tripod_smoke.sh |
Full Tripod integration test — exercises all 6 inter-VM message paths using the DEFER VM-EXEC/IS VM-EXEC dispatcher shim from init.4th. |
kconfig/ |
Vendored Linux kernel Kconfig tooling (conf/mconf/qconf), GPL-2.0. See tools/kconfig/README.md. |
mkcapsule
# Invoked automatically by the kernel build:
make -f kernel/Makefile ARCH=amd64 clean qemu
# Manual invocation (for inspection):
./tools/mkcapsule capsules/ build/amd64/kernel/capsule_generated.c
Scans capsules/ for .4th files, computes XXHash64 per capsule, assigns
type (m) to init.4th and (p) to everything else.
