Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 6fd87923a5 MINT: parameterize with full name, username, email, phone
Extends user_identity_seed_t (version 2) with fixed-size full_name/
username/email/phone fields -- plenty of unused pad space (4016 bytes)
was already there. Deliberately NOT encoded into the DER cert's Subject
field: that would mean building a real X.509 RDNSequence (OIDs for
commonName/emailAddress, PrintableString/UTF8String tagging), well past
this project's own stated "deliberately not a general ASN.1/X.509
[builder]" scope. This human-readable profile data isn't
security-relevant the way pubkey/serial are (the only two fields
CERTVERIFY/BINDSTEP actually check) -- it travels alongside the keypair
in the plain identity record instead.

capsule_mint_identity() takes full_name/username (required, validated
non-empty and within their fixed field widths) and email/phone (NULL or
empty = null, matching the schema's own nullable convention). The MINT
FORTH word's stack signature grows to 4 string pairs
( fname-c fname-u uname-c uname-u email-c email-u phone-c phone-u -- ok? ).

Verified live in QEMU: minted two real identities with real profile
data -- Zuse (full_name "Konrad Suse", username "Zuse",
zuse@pantheon.org) onto disk/zuse.img, and a regular user (full_name
"Captain Bob", username "CaptBob", capt.bob@pantheon.org) onto
disk/user1.img -- then read the raw devblock bytes back off both images
directly and confirmed every field byte-exact at its correct struct
offset. Clean 3-architecture regression boot confirms no side effects.

src/starkernel/

LithosAnanke — the bare-metal UEFI kernel that boots StarForth directly on hardware (amd64/aarch64/riscv64). Built only via Makefile.starkernel; the only valid acceptance test is the three-arch QEMU boot (see .claude/CLAUDE.md), never make test.

  • kernel_main.c — kernel entry point, driving the boot milestones (console init, PMM, VMM, interrupts, timers, kmalloc heap, VM bootstrap).
  • repl.c — kernel REPL.
  • doe_log.c — kernel-side DoE (Design of Experiments) metrics logging.

Subdirectories:

  • arch/{amd64,aarch64,riscv64}/ — per-architecture support (APIC/GIC/ PLIC interrupt controller, timers, boot/ISR assembly).
  • boot/ — UEFI loader, ELF loading, kernel command-line parsing.
  • capsule/ — capsule birth/run/load/validate pipeline.
  • hal/ — hardware-abstraction-layer implementation (console, framebuffer, VT100, memory, host services).
  • hash/ — XXHash64 content-addressing implementation.
  • math/ — kernel-build Q48.16 fixed-point arithmetic.
  • memory/ — physical/virtual memory managers and the kernel heap.
  • pci/ — PCI bus enumeration.
  • virtio/ — VirtIO block device driver.
  • vm/ — kernel VM subsystem (bootstrap, core interpreter, parity logging, capsule arena).

See include/starkernel/README.md for the corresponding headers.
