Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 6fc0ee33a9 WIREBIND: real thumbdrive-attach call site, no manual steps
Assembles pieces already built and individually verified this session
-- CERTVERIFY (vm_identity_from_cert(), Phase A/B), RUNCAP, the
console-VM + user-VM pair (§F.22) -- into one automatic sequence,
replacing the RUNCAP-TEST/PAIR-TEST diagnostic words that exercised
each piece by hand.

New capsule_wirebind_try_attach() (capsule_wirebind.h/.c), called from
sk_repl_idle() alongside capsule_zuse_boot_try_attach() on every
HOMEBLOCKS_SIG_OK attach: sig->cert_offset==0 means this is Zuse's own
genesis-mode drive (no cert region) -- that's already
capsule_zuse_boot_try_attach()'s job, skip. Otherwise, with Zuse already
authenticated this boot (nothing to verify a regular cert against
otherwise), reads the cert devblock(s) and calls vm_identity_from_cert()
against mama_vm's own zuse_cert_pubkey and the drive's own drive_uuid.
On success: reads the drive's own user_identity_seed_t for its
username, births a console VM + RUNCAP-born user VM pair (idempotent --
no-ops if that username is already live this session), installs the
verified VMIdentity onto the user VM, and registers the "<username>~user"
pairing sk_repl_dispatch_line() (repl.c, §F.22) looks for. Deliberately
does NOT auto-USE the new console -- that stays an explicit,
ACL-gated step (BINDSTEP, §F.9), not something a bare attach should
trigger silently.

Verified end-to-end live in QEMU, including a genuine negative case:
attached disk/user1.img (signed by a different, earlier-session Zuse
instance) and got a correct "cert verification FAILED -- drive
refused" -- proof the check is real, not a rubber stamp. Minted a
fresh identity with this boot's own Zuse, reattached, and got
"WIREBIND: SamS attached and ready" printed with zero manual commands,
followed by a working USE + async WELCOME relay end to end (queued,
no UNKNOWN WORD, delivered and executed in the paired user VM on the
next idle tick). Clean 3-architecture regression: Hermes/Artemis both
birth live, no unexpected ACL denials or UNKNOWN WORD.

src/

Hosted StarForth VM implementation (compiled by the root Makefile). Bare-metal kernel sources live in src/starkernel/; FORTH word implementations in src/word_source/; the test harness in src/test_runner/; platform shims in src/platform/.

Entry point / interpreter core

  • main.c — CLI entry point, VM init, DoE mode dispatch.
  • vm.c — interpreter loop, stacks, dictionary state (the central runtime file).
  • vm_api.c — external VM API implementation.
  • vm_bootstrap.c — VM bootstrap initialization.
  • vm_debug.c — debugging utilities.
  • vm_time.c — time-related VM operations.
  • vm_internal.h — internal-only declarations shared across the vm_*.c files, not part of the public include/vm_api.h surface.
  • repl.c — REPL read-eval-print loop.
  • cli.c — CLI argument parsing.
  • io.c — I/O operations.
  • log.c — logging infrastructure.

Memory / dictionary / blocks

  • memory_management.c — dictionary allocator.
  • dictionary_management.c — dictionary allocation and search.
  • dictionary_heat_optimization.c — Loop #1 execution-heat tracking.
  • word_registry.c — word registration system.
  • block_subsystem.c — logical→physical block mapper.
  • blkio_file.c, blkio_ram.c, blkio_factory.c — block I/O backends (file-backed, RAM-backed) and the factory that selects between them.
  • stack_management.c — stack operations.

Physics-driven adaptive runtime (7 feedback loops)

  • physics_runtime.c — main physics coordinator.
  • physics_hotwords_cache.c — Loop #1 hot-words caching.
  • physics_metadata.c — per-word metadata tracking.
  • physics_pipelining_metrics.c — Loop #4 word-transition prediction.
  • physics_execution_hooks.c — execution instrumentation.
  • rolling_window_of_truth.c — Loop #2 circular execution-history buffer.
  • inference_engine.c — Loops #5/#6, statistical inference (window-width, decay-slope).
  • ssm_jacquard.c — L8 Jacquard steady-state mode selector; consumes compudynamics.c for tuning-word/config lookups.
  • compudynamics.c — generic compudynamics module (cd_tuning_word(), cd_tuning_vm()); the score/UCB/reward/weight constants for the L8 adaptive table live here, not in ssm_jacquard.c.
  • heartbeat_export.c — heartbeat metrics export (CSV export function itself not yet implemented — see docs/working/architecture/heartbeat_csv_export.md).

Math / measurement

  • math_portable.c — portable math functions.
  • profiler.c — performance profiling.
  • doe_metrics.c — Design of Experiments metrics (2^7 factorial).

Any .bak file alongside a .c file here (doe_metrics.c.bak, inference_engine.c.bak, vm.c.bak) is a pre-edit backup left by a past maintenance script (see scripts/remove_loop_conditionals.sh), not a build input.
