Audited first: neither capsules/hestia/init.4th nor her birth block in
kernel_main.c references g_wirebind_attached_username, CONSOLE-ATTACH,
MINT, or any proxy-minting mechanism -- the invariant already held
structurally, by absence. Stated it explicitly anyway, per the task:
added a comment at Hestia's birth site quoting FABRIC-3.5.md SXVIII.6's
invariant verbatim, warning future edits not to add console/wirebind/
proxy code there without re-reading it first.
Verified live with the actual no-thumbdrive boot
(ARCH=<arch> qemu ZUSEDISK=), not the default. All four VMs born
successfully on all three architectures, zero UNKNOWN WORD, and zero
ok> occurrences anywhere in any of the three full logs -- genuinely
silent, matching sk_repl_headless_wait()'s own documented "no banner,
no prompt, no input surface at all." Watched each log's line count
post-birth for 8-10s to confirm it stayed flat rather than eventually
printing something late.
Confirmed no regression on the standard (with-thumbdrive) path on
amd64: dict_hash identical to task 1.8's baseline. Did not repeat that
check on aarch64/riscv64 -- the change is a comment only, cannot
diverge by compiler, and the headless invariant itself was already
proven identically on all three.
Phase 1 is now fully closed (tasks 1.1-1.9). Tripod is Hera/Artemis/
Hestia plus Hermes (retained through Phase 1-3 per SXXXIV.4); Hestia
owns the drawing fabric exclusively; headless-until-login intact with
Hestia in the fleet. Phase 2 is next.
Authorized by Captain Bob ("yes").

capsules/
FORTH personality files loaded by the VM at boot. A capsule is an immutable, content-addressed payload; its XXHash64 hash is its identity. Any mutation changes the hash and the birth protocol rejects the image.

Block namespace
Block ranges are shared across all loaded capsules — collisions cause silent word-definition overwrites.
| Range | Owner |
|---|---|
| 2048–2099 | init.4th |
| 2100–2199 | doe.4th |
| 3000–3999 | workload capsules |
| 4000+ | user-defined (ACL.4th, zuse.4th, …) |
Each block is limited to 1024 bytes. Verify with wc -c before committing.
