From the fresh whole-branch review of the identity gate (With fixes; no Critical, four Important): 1. A drive pulled while a line ran: the drives are looked at before every prompt (sk_v4_identity_check_now), so no prompt is shown once she is gone and what was typed after the pull does not run as Zuse. 2. Pulled while a line WAITS: the wait is ended at logout, by an empty line, and not carried into her next session (Captain Bob, 2026-10-26: "end the waiting line at logout"); re-attaching brings the prompt back. 3. EMERGENCY_CONSOLE_ENABLED: v4 honours it as v3 does -- a bring-up build has a prompt with no drive (boards/BRINGUP.md A2). 4. Keys typed at a headless machine are read and dropped, not run as whoever logs in next. (v3 has the same gap, sk_repl_headless_wait; reported, not changed.) Each a QEMU session red then green (amd64): midpull 111650 -> 112953, waitpull 111907 -> 113154, emergency 112524 -> 113609, typeahead 112248 -> 113359; headless 113800 and hotplug 114043 still pass. Accepted: three clean qemu boots to [zuse@Hera] ok>, POST 538/538, dict_hash 0xfec8c47cfc6f437f on all three; hotplug on aarch64 and riscv64; make -C v4 test test-32 sanitize hosted-check EXIT 0; make -C v4 test-32 0 failures.

src/starkernel/
LithosAnanke — the bare-metal UEFI kernel that boots StarForth directly on
hardware (amd64/aarch64/riscv64). Built only via Makefile.starkernel; the
only valid acceptance test is the three-arch QEMU boot (see
.claude/CLAUDE.md), never make test.
kernel_main.c— kernel entry point, driving the boot milestones (console init, PMM, VMM, interrupts, timers, kmalloc heap, VM bootstrap).repl.c— kernel REPL.doe_log.c— kernel-side DoE (Design of Experiments) metrics logging.
Subdirectories:
arch/{amd64,aarch64,riscv64}/— per-architecture support (APIC/GIC/ PLIC interrupt controller, timers, boot/ISR assembly).boot/— UEFI loader, ELF loading, kernel command-line parsing.capsule/— capsule birth/run/load/validate pipeline.hal/— hardware-abstraction-layer implementation (console, framebuffer, VT100, memory, host services).hash/— XXHash64 content-addressing implementation.math/— kernel-build Q48.16 fixed-point arithmetic.memory/— physical/virtual memory managers and the kernel heap.pci/— PCI bus enumeration.virtio/— VirtIO block device driver.vm/— kernel VM subsystem (bootstrap, core interpreter, parity logging, capsule arena).
