rajamesandClaude Opus 5.5 83d3692976 refactor(kernel): the keyboard bridge, shared
The stick, increment 1, task 1 (plan 2026-10-26-stick-1-screen-and-keyboard).
repl.c's keyboard bridge -- the key tables, Shift/Alt/Caps Lock/Num Lock and
their lights, the keypad, Alt+TAB, and the per-tick USB keyboard servicing --
moves unchanged to kernel/src/hal/kbd_input.c as sk_input_getc() (and
sk_input_drop()), so that the v4 boot's console reads the same keyboards
(docs/v4.0.0/STICK.md 5.4). v3's behaviour is unchanged.

scripts/qemu_session.py: the typed-QEMU-session harness, kept in the repo
from here on (the identity gate's sessions, and v3_keys: system=v3 typed on
QEMU's keyboard with send-key).

Yardstick, system=v3 typed by keyboard: before, amd64 PS/2 134805 PASS,
aarch64 virtio keyboard 135549 PASS; after, 135746 and 135835 PASS.
(riscv64 134850: v3 never reached its prompt -- Artemis virtio_blk writes
time out; v3's block path, before this change; being investigated.)
Accepted: suite EXIT 0; three clean qemu boots to [zuse@Hera] ok>, POST
538/538, dict_hash 0xfec8c47cfc6f437f (145722, 145859, 150231); test-32,
39 modules, 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).

See include/starkernel/README.md for the corresponding headers.
