capsule_birth.c's generic admission block now registers a session for every born VM (session_register) and pins it (session_set_pinned) when the birthing capsule is Hera/Hermes/Artemis. Bug found and fixed via a temporary probe (written, run, captured, reverted): the fleet-foundation name check first used an exact-match comparison against "Hermes"/"Artemis", but capsule_name is actually "hermes:init.4th"/"artemis:init.4th" (the real namespace:filename convention) -- the check silently never matched, both would-be-pinned VMs stayed unpinned. Fixed with a new vm_name_prefix_eq_nocase() helper matching everything before a literal ':'. Probe confirmed pinned=0 before the fix, pinned=1 after, on all relevant VMs. Session.parent is hardcoded to vm_uuid_hera() for now (every birth through this path is Hera-initiated today); step 7 generalizes this to the actual birthing VM's own id. Verified 3-arch boot to ok> (amd64/aarch64/riscv64) on the final, probe-free code. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 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.
