New rpi5_mailbox_get_framebuffer() sends one property-tag request buffer (phys size, virt size, depth, pixel order, virtual offset, allocate-buffer, get-pitch) over the register layout rpi5_dtb.c already discovers, populating an Rpi5FramebufferInfo kept in exact field-for-field sync with uefi.h's FramebufferInfo so console.c/vt100.c/framebuffer.c need no downstream changes once this is wired into a real entry stub. Register offsets (+0x00/+0x18 MBOX0 read/status, +0x20/+0x38 MBOX1 write/status) confirmed against a Pi-5-specific bare-metal reference, independently cross-checked against this codebase's own rpi5_dtb.c translated base address. Caught and fixed a real buffer-overflow bug before compiling: the static request buffer was sized 32 words against an actual 35-word requirement for the 7-tag sequence, recomputed exactly rather than re-estimated; resized to 40 words. Two things flagged as genuinely unverified against real hardware (not guessed past the comment): the allocate-buffer tag's request-size field value, and whether its response address needs classic bus-alias masking on Pi 5 specifically. Compile-only-verified -- no caller yet (that's the still-open entry-stub/DTB constructor items). Verified 3-arch boot to ok>/zuse)ok>.

Hosted StarForth VM implementation (compiled by the root Makefile).
Bare-metal kernel sources live in src/starkernel/; FORTH word
implementations in src/word_source/; the test harness in
src/test_runner/; platform shims in src/platform/.
Entry point / interpreter core
main.c— CLI entry point, VM init, DoE mode dispatch.vm.c— interpreter loop, stacks, dictionary state (the central runtime file).vm_api.c— external VM API implementation.vm_bootstrap.c— VM bootstrap initialization.vm_debug.c— debugging utilities.vm_time.c— time-related VM operations.vm_internal.h— internal-only declarations shared across thevm_*.cfiles, not part of the publicinclude/vm_api.hsurface.repl.c— REPL read-eval-print loop.cli.c— CLI argument parsing.io.c— I/O operations.log.c— logging infrastructure.
Memory / dictionary / blocks
memory_management.c— dictionary allocator.dictionary_management.c— dictionary allocation and search.dictionary_heat_optimization.c— Loop #1 execution-heat tracking.word_registry.c— word registration system.block_subsystem.c— logical→physical block mapper.blkio_file.c,blkio_ram.c,blkio_factory.c— block I/O backends (file-backed, RAM-backed) and the factory that selects between them.stack_management.c— stack operations.
Physics-driven adaptive runtime (7 feedback loops)
physics_runtime.c— main physics coordinator.physics_hotwords_cache.c— Loop #1 hot-words caching.physics_metadata.c— per-word metadata tracking.physics_pipelining_metrics.c— Loop #4 word-transition prediction.physics_execution_hooks.c— execution instrumentation.rolling_window_of_truth.c— Loop #2 circular execution-history buffer.inference_engine.c— Loops #5/#6, statistical inference (window-width, decay-slope).ssm_jacquard.c— L8 Jacquard steady-state mode selector; consumescompudynamics.cfor tuning-word/config lookups.compudynamics.c— generic compudynamics module (cd_tuning_word(),cd_tuning_vm()); the score/UCB/reward/weight constants for the L8 adaptive table live here, not inssm_jacquard.c.heartbeat_export.c— heartbeat metrics export (CSV export function itself not yet implemented — seedocs/working/architecture/heartbeat_csv_export.md).
Math / measurement
math_portable.c— portable math functions.profiler.c— performance profiling.doe_metrics.c— Design of Experiments metrics (2^7 factorial).
Any .bak file alongside a .c file here (doe_metrics.c.bak,
inference_engine.c.bak, vm.c.bak) is a pre-edit backup left by a past
maintenance script (see scripts/remove_loop_conditionals.sh), not a
build input.
