MACHINE.md stands: v3 goes after parity; Hera, Hermes, Artemis (and Hestia) are kernel functions. ENGINE.md section 2 amended with the rulings, section 6's step-3 rows struck (R2). The step 4 plan rewritten: Part A (hook at call, called in-line words) and Phases 1-8 to parity. No identity thumbdrive, headless; work goes ahead only with Zuse attached.
