uefi.h: the UEFI device path and Block I/O protocols, a typed LocateDevicePath, and BootDisk
{gpt, is_stick, disk_guid[16]} appended to BootInfo after args (boot_info_offsets.h unchanged).
The loader, before ExitBootServices, cuts its image's device path at the partition's HardDrive
node, locates the whole disk's Block I/O (whole path consumed, not a logical partition, 512-byte
blocks), reads it as 1 KiB blocks through a loader-side blkio adapter, and runs the kernel's own
gpt_read: is it a StarshipOS stick (identity and Artemis partitions), and its DiskGUID
(gpt_disk_guid, new). No HardDrive node (an ISO/CD boot), no GPT, or any failure: not a stick.
Monolithic builds only (the non-monolithic loader does not link gpt.c, and does not build today:
kernel/src/vm/vm_core.c -- reported, not fixed).
The kernel prints 'Boot disk: a StarshipOS stick' or '... not a StarshipOS stick', and on a stick
system=v3 gives 'System: v3 is not on this stick -- StarForth v4' and boots v4.
Tests: stick_v3 (new), stick_boot and zuse x3 failed on the new lines before, pass after; v3_keys
still boots v3 off a stick. Acceptance: amd64, aarch64, riscv64 to [zuse@Hera] ok>, POST 538/538,
dict_hash 0xfec8c47cfc6f437f; v4 suite and test-32 0 failures.
Plan: docs/v4.0.0/plans/2026-10-27-stick-4-one-disk.md, Task 3.

include/starkernel/
Headers for LithosAnanke, the bare-metal UEFI kernel (src/starkernel/).
Built only via Makefile.starkernel; gated by __STARKERNEL__ when shared
with hosted code.
uefi.h— UEFI protocol/type definitions consumed by the loader.elf64.h,elf_loader.h— ELF64 parsing and kernel-image loading.boot_info_offsets.h— struct-offset constants shared between the assembly bootstrap and the C boot path.arch.h,apic.h,timer.h— architecture init, APIC interrupt controller, timer (TSC/HPET/APIC, 100 Hz heartbeat).console.h,framebuffer.h,vt100.h— UART 16550 console, framebuffer driver, and VT100 terminal emulation over the framebuffer.pmm.h,vmm.h,kmalloc.h— physical memory manager (bitmap allocator), 4-level x86_64 paging, kernel heap allocator.pci.h,virtio_blk.h— PCI enumeration and the VirtIO block device driver (disk backend for the kernel block subsystem).capsule.h,capsule_birth.h,capsule_loader.h,capsule_run.h,capsule_vm_physics.h,capsule_generated.h— capsule system types, birth protocol, physics-runtime capsule bindings, and the build-time- generated capsule directory (seetools/mkcapsule.c).kernel_args.h,cmdline.h— boot-time kernel argument parsing (starforth.cfg/ command line).repl.h— kernel REPL.log.h,doe_log.h— kernel logging and DoE metrics logging.q48_16.h— kernel-build copy of Q48.16 fixed-point arithmetic.xxhash64.h— content-addressing hash used for capsule IDs.hal_memory.h— hardware-abstraction-layer memory interface.
Subdirectories:
hal/— top-level hardware-abstraction-layer interface.vm/— kernel VM subsystem headers (capsule arena, parity logging, bootstrap wiring).freestanding/— minimal libc-shim headers (assert.h,ctype.h,errno.h,inttypes.h,math.h,sched.h,signal.h,stdio.h,stdlib.h,string.h,time.h,sys/time.h,sys/types.h) for building shared VM code in the freestanding kernel environment, where no real libc is available.
