Step 1: new artemis_sig_t header format (magic 'ARTM', sibling to homeblocks_sig_t, distinct so a generic scan can tell Artemis's own disk apart from an identity thumbdrive by content alone) -- artemis_sig.h/.c, wired into Makefile.starkernel. Step 2: sk_repl_idle()'s existing per-USB-MSC-slot attach handling (the pattern WIREBIND already uses for identity thumbdrives) now also checks for the ARTM signature whenever a device's home-blocks check comes back BLANK. On a match, once Artemis's own storage-attach round-trip (HERA-BLK-ATTACH-REQ/BLK-ATTACH-ACK) confirms success, capsule_zuse_boot_load_root_pubkey() runs -- the same call kernel_main.c's synchronous QEMU-only virtio-blk path already makes, now reachable without a hardcoded PCI vendor/device scan. That function is already idempotent (no-op once zuse_root_pubkey_known is set), so no boot restructuring was needed despite the initial concern that deferring Artemis discovery to the idle loop would require one. Verified: clean build + QEMU boot to [zuse@Hera] ok> on all three architectures, zero regression to the existing virtio-blk/Zuse-thumbdrive attach path. Steps 3 (genesis-stamping onto disk/artemis.img) and 4 (growable production log-persistence region) not yet started.

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:
arch/{amd64,aarch64,riscv64}/— per-architecture support (APIC/GIC/ PLIC interrupt controller, timers, boot/ISR assembly).boot/— UEFI loader, ELF loading, kernel command-line parsing.capsule/— capsule birth/run/load/validate pipeline.hal/— hardware-abstraction-layer implementation (console, framebuffer, VT100, memory, host services).hash/— XXHash64 content-addressing implementation.math/— kernel-build Q48.16 fixed-point arithmetic.memory/— physical/virtual memory managers and the kernel heap.pci/— PCI bus enumeration.virtio/— VirtIO block device driver.vm/— kernel VM subsystem (bootstrap, core interpreter, parity logging, capsule arena).
