sk_hermes_send_one() -- the single funnel every sender, including sk_hermes_publish(), already goes through -- used to store the caller's own payload_addr pointer as-is. Two sends before either drains meant both messages pointed at the same caller-owned buffer, whichever send wrote last silently winning: real, confirmed live (a second identity thumbdrive attached at boot alongside Zuse's own left its WIREBIND pairing silently never happening). SkHermesMessage gains an inline payload_buf[SK_HERMES_CHUNK_MAX_ PAYLOAD] field; sk_hermes_send_one() now memcpy()s the caller's payload into it and points payload_addr at that copy instead. No sender or reader call site needed to change -- every existing reader already only ever reads through payload_addr, which still points at valid bytes of the same length, now message-owned. g_kh_blk_attach_buf/ g_kh_console_cmd_buf (repl.c, tasks 3.8/3.9) no longer need to survive past their own send call; their doc comments, which had claimed the old aliasing shape was benign, are corrected. Verified the original bug is actually gone: reproduced the exact original scenario (a real, sequentially-minted rajames identity attached at boot alongside Zuse's own, two simultaneous BLK-ATTACH- EVENT sends in one idle-loop pass) -- WIREBIND pairing, USE, and the Stage D relay all now work where WIREBIND previously silently failed. Standard three-ISA acceptance also clean: zero UNKNOWN WORD, dict_hash identical across all three and matching every prior acceptance run in this document.

Any .bak file alongside a .c file here (doe_metrics.c.bak,

maintenance script (see scripts/remove_loop_conditionals.sh), not a
build input.
