Reachability verified live before writing any code, per this project's own standing rule (grep cannot establish reachability alone): FIND SEND-ELEVATE-REQUEST / FIND ELEVATE-GRANT / FIND CH-REQUEST all resolve on a live Hera boot, though grep across capsules/experiments/docs found zero callers of SEND-ELEVATE-REQUEST -- a real, complete, directly-callable entrypoint (H.5/H.8's own design) with no current automatic trigger, not dead code. Correction to a prior finding, made in the course of this check: task 3.8's write-up claimed "Hera's own pre-existing inability to load common:messaging.4th" -- false. capsules/init.4th (Hera's own MAMA_INIT capsule) loads it directly, and SEND-ELEVATE-REQUEST lives and works in her dictionary right now. Task 3.8's own actual scope is unaffected by this correction. Cutover: SEND-ELEVATE-REQUEST (messaging.4th) no longer ends in CH-REQUEST's COMMON-CH/MSG-SEND path; it now calls KH-ELEVATE-SEND (repl.c), a new C word wrapping sk_hermes_send_one(), registered unconditionally for every VM. from/to are derived from the calling VM and sk_get_mama_vm() directly in C, never taken from the stack -- a real correctness improvement over CH-REQUEST's own initiator-only gate, which only existed because a caller COULD pass the wrong from value; deriving it in C makes that spoof structurally impossible. SK_HERMES_MSG_TYPE_ELEVATE_REQUEST reuses ELEVATE-REQUEST's own value (8), same partition-rule reasoning as tasks 3.8/3.9. Delivery is unchanged task 3.4 machinery. No new static-buffer lifetime caveat -- the payload-aliasing fix landed before this task started. CH-REQUEST (messaging.4th) is now dead code, its one real caller just removed -- found, not fixed, per Captain Bob's Law. Verified live on all three architectures: 0 0 0 0 S" DUP" SEND-ELEVATE-REQUEST (deliberately-invalid pubkey, so ELEVATE-GRANT correctly refuses -- the check is the pipeline running, not a grant succeeding) fires the evidence line and completes cleanly, DUP unaffected afterward. Zero UNKNOWN WORD, dict_hash identical across all three architectures (changed uniformly from prior runs -- one new word registered -- not diverged, matching SXXXIV.6's own rule). This closes task 3.11 (Phase 3 gate): all of messaging.4th's live FORTH-owned message types (BLK-ATTACH-EVENT, CONSOLE-CMD-EVENT, ELEVATE-REQUEST) are now real kernel-Hermes cutovers. Phase 4 may begin. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
