One boot, v4/system/boot.c, for both products: it starts the nucleus image, finds each capsule in the baked capsule directory, recomputes its hash, checks its signature, gives its blocks to the node a line at a time, and prints PARITY:V4_NUCLEUS, PARITY:V4_CAPSULE and PARITY:OK before the prompt. A line the node does not accept ends the boot with the capsule, block and line named. docs/v4.0.0/NUCLEUS.md. - hosted Linux product for amd64, aarch64 and riscv64 (make -C v4 hosted); make -C v4 hosted-check boots all three and requires identical output - the kernel's v4 entry (STARFORTH_V4=1) calls the same boot - capsules/v4/forth79.4th, block 6000: no definitions yet - mkimage builds the nucleus only; no FORTH source is compiled at build time - capsule_blocks.c: the Block-header parse, free of any VM, for every loader Verified: make -C v4 test passes; hosted-check passes on the three ISAs with the same hashes; the kernel compiles with STARFORTH_V4=1 on the three. Not verified: no bare-metal boot of v4 has been run. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

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:
