xhci_bringup() now scans for already-connected ports at bring-up (xhci_scan_ports_for_already_connected()), not just later hotplug events, so a USB device present on the QEMU command line at launch is detected. Makefile.starkernel attaches disk/zuse.img on the xhci0 bus by default in all three arch qemu targets (ZUSEDISK=, empties for a bare boot). capsule_mint_identity() gained a drive_known_blank param to skip a fully redundant second homeblocks_sig_check() when the caller already confirmed HOMEBLOCKS_SIG_BLANK itself. Root-caused what looked like a hang after the drive attached: Artemis's fence still carried a genesis marker from before a mid-session reformat, while the reformatted disk/zuse.img read back BLANK -- a mismatched pair capsule_zuse_boot_try_attach() correctly declined to act on, leaving the boot idling at a plain ok> with nothing left to log (indistinguishable from a hang under slow TCG). Fixed by zeroing both disk/artemis.img and disk/zuse.img at their original sizes, giving a matched blank pair. Verified full three-architecture acceptance: amd64 fresh genesis-mint, aarch64/riscv64 clean reload against the same now-minted images.

src/starkernel/
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).
