Fourth vm_name_prefix_eq_nocase(capsule_name, "Hestia") check alongside
Hera/Hermes/Artemis in src/starkernel/capsule/capsule_birth.c's
is_fleet_foundation local -- Hermes retained, per FABRIC-3.5.md
SXXXIV.4 (he stays live and fleet-foundation through Phase 1-3). The
flag's only consequence is session_set_pinned(vm_id, 1) for whichever
VM name matches.
Three-arch boot clean: amd64/aarch64/riscv64 all reach [zuse@Hera] ok>,
zero UNKNOWN WORD, byte-identical to the pre-change baseline -- expected,
since nothing births anything named "Hestia" yet (task 1.4), so the
added name never matches. Hermes confirmed still present in the check
and still born normally in all three logs.
Authorized by Captain Bob ("yes").

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.
