rajamesandClaude Opus 5.5 067f317c47 feat(v4.0.0): hosted golden model, single node
First code for StarForth v4 (JUSTIFICATION.md section 10, step 1): one node
of the 32-instruction core as a C99 model, with cell width as a build
parameter.

- Node: P, A, B, F18 circular stacks (10 and 9 deep, D-2), word-addressed
  memory (D-1), 5% guard bands on every bounded list.
- Instruction word: six 5-bit slots in 32 bits at every cell width.
- Executor: all 32 opcodes of DECOMPOSITION.md 1.3. Cell arithmetic wraps
  explicitly; no signed overflow or implementation-defined shift.
- Heat: per-opcode and per-call-target counters and the anti-clock, driven
  by instruction retirement (1.4, D-6 interim).
- Slot packer and runner for tests, and a reference unsigned multiply in
  plain C99 with no 128-bit type.

Tests run at 32- and 64-bit cells, and under ASan and UBSan. They cover
every opcode and execute the first section 4 definitions (NIP SWAP OR
NEGATE ROT 0< 0= 2DUP - U<) against the C operation each stands for.

UM* as written in section 4 is exact only while u1 <= 2^(n-2). Two known
failing cases are pinned in test_foundation.c until it is rewritten.

DECOMPOSITION.md: record D-9, the instruction word is 32 bits at every
cell width (ruled 2026-10-02).

/* umul.h -- unsigned multiply fixing UM* under D-3 constraints.
*
* DECOMPOSITION.md line 205-207: "NEEDS REVISION: written for the carry-keeping
* +* that D-3 rejected. With plain F18 +* the carry out of T is lost, so this
* is only correct when the partial sums never overflow T (operands below 2^31).
* A full-range UM* needs a correction step; to be rewritten and proven on the
* golden model."
*
* D-3 states: "Plain F18 semantics. The carry out of T is not kept."
* The +* defined in the F18 shifts T:A right; the add is T <- T+S when bit 0
* of A was set, but any carry out of that addition is discarded (not shifted
* into the high part). That means UM* as written only works for inputs whose
* partial products don't generate a carry beyond T's width during the loop.
*
* We need a correct full-range unsigned multiply (u1*u2 -> ulo, uhi) that is
* correct for all cell-width values of u1,u2, expressed in terms of the v4
* primitives or at least specified precisely for the golden model. Since
* we're building the golden model in C first, the canonical implementation is
* the width-correct C multiplication split into high/low halves at V4_CELL_BITS.
* This header provides both: a reference C implementation (for verification)
* and a documented form that matches D-3's +* constraint.
