Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 380f0a09c9 Add stadium_conserved() -- FABRIC-3.6.md task 0.7, item 41
Boolean analogue of vm_physics_conserved(), for the Stadium per-VM
quota invariant rather than fleet-wide execution heat
(FABRIC-3.5.md SXXXIX.4). int stadium_conserved(VMUuid vm_id), in
src/starkernel/vm/stadium.c alongside stadium_resident_sum()/
stadium_reservoir_peek() that it's built from, declared in
include/starkernel/vm/stadium.h.

Implements the two-term form -- resident_sum(vm_id) +
reservoir_peek(vm_id) == Q48_ONE -- not the three-term form SXL.4
rules for the eventual system. That ruling's `consumed` term is a
Phase 2 kernel-Hermes ledger deliverable that doesn't exist yet:
nothing draws on any VM's Stadium quota today (task 2.2 is literally
where that wiring gets built), so consumed is honestly zero right now.
Folding it in as a placeholder would be inventing Phase 2 state ahead
of it existing -- the doc comment says so explicitly, so whoever
builds Phase 2's ledger extends this function rather than working
around it.

Wired into the existing per-VM boot diagnostic
(stadium_words_print_boot_diagnostics(), kernel_main.c:810, Hera
only -- the sole existing call site) rather than adding a new one,
printing CONSERVED/DRIFTED the same shape vm_physics_status() already
uses.

Three-arch boot clean: amd64/aarch64/riscv64 all reach [zuse@Hera] ok>,
zero UNKNOWN WORD, all print "Stadium conservation: CONSERVED" with
identical resident_sum=47641 reservoir=17895 sum=65536=Q48_ONE. No
compiler warnings on either edited file (forced recompile checked).

Authorized by Captain Bob ("Yes.").

Headers for LithosAnanke, the bare-metal UEFI kernel (src/starkernel/). Built only via Makefile.starkernel; gated by __STARKERNEL__ when shared with hosted code.

  • uefi.h — UEFI protocol/type definitions consumed by the loader.
  • elf64.h, elf_loader.h — ELF64 parsing and kernel-image loading.
  • boot_info_offsets.h — struct-offset constants shared between the assembly bootstrap and the C boot path.
  • arch.h, apic.h, timer.h — architecture init, APIC interrupt controller, timer (TSC/HPET/APIC, 100 Hz heartbeat).
  • console.h, framebuffer.h, vt100.h — UART 16550 console, framebuffer driver, and VT100 terminal emulation over the framebuffer.
  • pmm.h, vmm.h, kmalloc.h — physical memory manager (bitmap allocator), 4-level x86_64 paging, kernel heap allocator.
  • pci.h, virtio_blk.h — PCI enumeration and the VirtIO block device driver (disk backend for the kernel block subsystem).
  • capsule.h, capsule_birth.h, capsule_loader.h, capsule_run.h, capsule_vm_physics.h, capsule_generated.h — capsule system types, birth protocol, physics-runtime capsule bindings, and the build-time- generated capsule directory (see tools/mkcapsule.c).
  • kernel_args.h, cmdline.h — boot-time kernel argument parsing (starforth.cfg / command line).
  • repl.h — kernel REPL.
  • log.h, doe_log.h — kernel logging and DoE metrics logging.
  • q48_16.h — kernel-build copy of Q48.16 fixed-point arithmetic.
  • xxhash64.h — content-addressing hash used for capsule IDs.
  • hal_memory.h — hardware-abstraction-layer memory interface.

Subdirectories:

  • hal/ — top-level hardware-abstraction-layer interface.
  • vm/ — kernel VM subsystem headers (capsule arena, parity logging, bootstrap wiring).
  • freestanding/ — minimal libc-shim headers (assert.h, ctype.h, errno.h, inttypes.h, math.h, sched.h, signal.h, stdio.h, stdlib.h, string.h, time.h, sys/time.h, sys/types.h) for building shared VM code in the freestanding kernel environment, where no real libc is available.
