rajamesandJunie a8b70e88d3 Reorganize source tree: kernel/, v3/, v4/ split and board infrastructure
Source tree reorganization:
- Move StarForth v3 engine to v3/ (src/, include/, Makefile)
- Move kernel to kernel/ (src/, include/, linker/, Makefile)
- Create v4/ skeleton for F18-ISA golden model (DECOMPOSITION.md, JUSTIFICATION.md)
- Move FABRIC-0..4.md to docs/fabric/
- Move ONTOLOGY.md and ROADMAP.md to docs/

Board infrastructure:
- Add boards/ser5/, boards/raspi/, boards/milkv/, boards/zynq7020/
- Each board has board.mk (ISA, CPU flags, boot recipe) and README.md
- Root Makefile becomes thin dispatcher: boot_image, all, clean, docs take TARGET
- make boot_image TARGET=SER5|RASPI|MILKV builds one GPT/MBR image per board
- ZYNQ7020 target exists but stops with clear error (ARMv7 port not built yet)
- scripts/mkdiskimage.sh builds disk images for all boards

Docs pipeline:
- docs/book/ with LaTeX master (main.tex) and Makefile
- pandoc converts Markdown to LaTeX at build time
- Two Lua filters: table-widths.lua (wide tables wrap), code-breaks.lua (inline code breaks)
- make docs builds single PDF (754 pages, 0 missing characters)
- make docs TARGET=<board> adds board appendix
- build/docs/<book|board>/meta.tex stamps git commit into PDF

Bug fixes:
- 42 include paths that only worked by accident now use correct relative paths
- clang-18 hardcode replaced with configurable CC variable (fixed aarch64 build)
- Pi 5: kernel_2712.img linked at 0x80000, .bss zeroed, memory reserved
- Doxyfile, .clang-tidy, README.md, Kconfig paths updated

Verified:
- Hosted v3 build passes 1012 tests, 0 failures
- SER5 image boots in QEMU (OVMF), POST passes, K exact (65536 = Q48_ONE)
- Milk-V image boots in QEMU (OpenSBI + U-Boot + bootefi), POST passes
- make clean TARGET=<board> removes only that board and its ISA objects
- make all builds all boards, hosted v3, and docs in one run

Robert Allan James cb4326c712 starkernel: item 4.3.3b -- geometry drawing wordset, fixed Q.TO-INT sign bug
Adds LINE (Bresenham in raster space, endpoints projected once each --
valid because the cavalier projection is linear), CIRCLE/ELLIPSE
(36-segment polygon approximation), and ARC (18 segments over a caller
radian range) to capsules/fabric.4th (blocks 4903-4912). TO-RASTER
factored out of CART-PLOT (same behavior) so LINE can reuse the
projection+flip for both endpoints.

Found mid-implementation: colon definitions cannot span block boundaries
in this capsule loader -- verified with a throwaway test capsule, the
continuation lands in a [CAPSULE][DEFER] path that never resolves. LINE's
body is split across LINE-SETUP/LINE-DONE?/LINE-STUCK?/LINE-STEP, each
self-contained within its block, rather than one long definition.

A fourth real bug, serious this time: CIRCLE's first live test rendered
only one quadrant, then hung the VM for several minutes on a follow-up
call. Root cause: q48_to_u64() (include/q48_16.h and
include/starkernel/q48_16.h, backing Q.TO-INT) did an unsigned logical
shift, corrupting any negative Q48.16 value into a huge garbage integer
instead of sign-extending -- inevitable once Q.SIN/Q.COS leave the first
quadrant. That garbage became a bogus LINE target with no bound on
LINE-STEP's Bresenham loop. Fixed q48_to_u64 to shift through a signed
int64_t intermediate (bit-identical for the non-negative case). Also added
LINE-STUCK? (LSTEPS vs FB-WIDTH+FB-HEIGHT, the true worst case for an
on-screen line) as a defense-in-depth cap against any future bad target.

Verified live on amd64 after both fixes: -65536 Q.TO-INT . now prints -1;
LINE/CIRCLE/ARC/ELLIPSE all complete without hanging or erroring, and a
combined screendump shows all four rendering correctly and distinctly.

All three architectures boot clean to ok> with the DoE completing;
dict_hash identical across all three and unchanged from 4.3.3a (expected
-- fabric.4th isn't loaded at boot, and the Q.TO-INT fix doesn't change
dictionary structure).

FABRIC.md item 4.3.3b marked done with full acceptance evidence.

Robert Allan James 36389e9d4a starkernel: item 4.3.3a -- Q48.16 trigonometry (Q.SIN/Q.COS)
Adds q48_reduce_angle() (range-reduce a signed Q48.16 angle into
[-PI_Q48, PI_Q48] via one integer division plus a bounded fix-up loop) and
q48_sin_approx/q48_cos_approx (Taylor series, terms n=3,5,7,9,11 for sin
and n=2,4,6,8,10 for cos, early exit below 10). Q.SIN/Q.COS registered as
FORTH words in q48_words.c, same pattern as Q.LOG/Q.EXP/Q.SQRT.

Found mid-implementation: this codebase has two independent Q48.16
implementations -- src/word_source/q48_16_words.c (hosted/vendored) and
src/starkernel/math/q48_16.c (kernel-only; the kernel build does not
compile the former at all). The hosted build linked fine after the first
pass; the kernel build failed with undefined references until the same
two functions were added to both .c files and both q48_16.h headers
(include/q48_16.h and include/starkernel/q48_16.h). Not fixed at the root
-- Q.LOG/Q.EXP/Q.SQRT already had this same four-file duplication,
unremarked until now -- just navigated correctly for this item.

Verified live on amd64 via serial injection: sin/cos at 0, +-pi/2, pi, and
3pi (range-reduction across multiple turns) all match expected values
within Taylor-series truncation error (<0.2%).

All three architectures boot clean to ok> with the DoE completing;
dict_hash identical across all three (0x291a660b05fa7b52).
