Dead per task 0.1's reachability check (156d1642): zero references by
name anywhere in the tree outside its own definition -- process.4th's
own SPAWN/PAUSE/RESUME/KILL-VM calls passed bare numeric literals
(1/2/3/4), never this constant's name. Removed the single line only;
PAUSE-EVENT/RESUME-EVENT/KILL-EVENT are left in place, matching the
punchlist's stated scope -- they are equally dead-by-name but that
widening was flagged in 0.1's findings, not folded into this task.
mkcapsule --lint capsules/ clean, 37 files / 0 violations, unchanged
(one-line edit, no file added or removed). Three-arch boot clean:
amd64/aarch64/riscv64 all reach [zuse@Hera] ok>, zero UNKNOWN WORD.
dict_hash moved for Hermes/Artemis (both load messaging.4th) and is
identical across all three architectures; Hera's PARITY:M7.1a snapshot
unchanged as in the prior two strips.
Phase 0's three strips (0.2-0.4) are now all done. capsule-reserved.txt
and MANIFEST.md's stale block-4055/2049 entries remain for 0.5/0.6.
Authorized by Captain Bob ("Yes, please continue.").

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.
