Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 378d688898 starkernel: item 3.3 -- behaviour enumeration and dispatch
Punch list §25 item 3.3 complete.

StadiumBehaviour (stadium.h) enumerates exactly the four tags §18.3
already names -- MIGRATE, DELIVER, EXPIRE, COOL -- mapped from §17.1's
patron table: blocks->MIGRATE, messages->DELIVER, ACLs->EXPIRE, words
and VMs both->COOL. Nothing invented; the tag set and mapping were
already in the document.

stadium_dispatch(cell_index, behaviour) dispatches on the tag only,
never asks what kind of patron departed. Handlers are stubs -- the
real actions belong to subsystems not yet migrated onto the Stadium
(Phase 4). Nothing calls stadium_dispatch() yet; item 3.5 is its first
consumer.

The switch is exhaustive with no default case, making §13's "closed
enumeration, fixed at build time" a compiler-enforced property under
this project's -Wall -Werror rather than just prose. Verified live:
temporarily deleted the COOL case, rebuild failed with
error: enumeration value 'STADIUM_BEHAVIOUR_COOL' not handled in
switch [-Werror=switch], restored it, confirmed clean again.

The header's behaviour field stays uint8_t, not the enum type itself,
since C does not guarantee an enum's underlying type and that field's
offset is load-bearing for item 3.1's validated 64-byte layout.

Verified: three-architecture boot (amd64, aarch64, riscv64), all
reaching ok> with identical dict_hash=0x3d4e1daf289da94f matching the
item-3.2 baseline.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 eb0fd4fffa starkernel: item 3.2 -- Stadium boot-time allocation
Punch list §25 item 3.2 complete.

stadium_boot_init() (src/starkernel/vm/stadium.c) sizes the global
cell array at boot from a real memory-budget query rather than a
hardcoded count: pmm_get_stats().free_bytes at the point of
allocation, times the new STADIUM_MEMORY_PERCENT Kconfig symbol
(default 1%), rounded down to whole 64-byte cells. Matches §17.6's
position (b) literally. Also allocates the header/continuation
discriminator bitmap item 3.1 declared but did not allocate. Both are
kmalloc'd and explicitly zero-filled (kmalloc does not zero).

Called from kernel_main.c immediately before sk_vm_bootstrap_parity(),
i.e. before any VM exists (§6). Failure is soft -- logs and continues,
does not halt boot -- matching the existing precedent one line below
it (VM bootstrap parity failure does the same).

Added a "Stadium: N cells (M KB)" boot console line at the allocation
site so the acceptance logs are evidence the array was actually
allocated, not just that the kernel still boots -- the same blind spot
item 3.1's uncompiled-header gap exposed.

Verified: three-architecture boot (amd64, aarch64, riscv64), all
reaching ok> with identical dict_hash=0x3d4e1daf289da94f matching the
item-3.1 baseline, and the Stadium boot line confirmed present in all
three serial logs (amd64: 74234 cells/4639 KB, aarch64: 161329
cells/10083 KB, riscv64: 76122 cells/4757 KB).

Not built here, reported per §25.0 rule 3: per-VM free lists (§22.3)
-- granted when Hera assigns quota, not this item's scope.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 d55ec3241b starkernel: item 3.1 -- the Stadium cell and header
Punch list §25 item 3.1 complete.

Defines StadiumPatronHeader and StadiumContinuationCell in new
include/starkernel/vm/stadium.h, unioned as StadiumCell per §3's
closed two-valued union. src/starkernel/vm/stadium.c added to
Makefile.starkernel's LOADER_EXTRA_SRCS/KERNEL_EXTRA_SRCS so the
header's compile-time size checks are actually compiled, not merely
included by something that never builds.

Discriminator ruled an external side bitmap (Captain Bob), not a
header field -- amended into §3 and §23.3 before this code was
written. Item 3.1 declares the bitmap's purpose/indexing in a comment
only; allocating it is item 3.2's scope.

Both cell shapes counted for real at exactly 64 bytes with zero
compiler-inserted padding (three C99-portable negative-array-size
assertions -- no _Static_assert, this project targets C99). Header
matches §23.3's original 32+32 split unchanged, since the
discriminator moving outside the cell left nothing to compete for that
space. Continuation cell matches item 1.12's 4+60 figure unchanged for
the same reason.

Verified the size assertion is actually live: broke it to 63,
confirmed the build failed with the expected negative-array-size
error, restored it, confirmed a clean compile.

Verified: three-architecture boot (amd64, aarch64, riscv64), all
reaching ok> with identical dict_hash=0x3d4e1daf289da94f matching the
item-2.2 baseline. Confirmed stadium.o present in both obj/loader/vm
and obj/kernel/vm post-build on amd64, closing the gap the item-2.2 WIP
exposed (an uncompiled header proves nothing).

Left open, not fabricated: §23.4 #2 ("does a typical message fit in
one cell") is unanswerable today -- no message patron struct exists
anywhere in this tree yet.
