FABRIC-3.5.md: open the Tripod/kernel reshuffle as its own document
Opened by direct instruction as a standalone document rather than a FABRIC-4 scratchpad entry: the reshuffle is a ratified architectural direction needing full FABRIC discipline, but it is not bare-metal boot, so it does not belong in FABRIC-3 and does not close it. FABRIC-3 stays open, living and authoritative for its own topic. Records what was decided 2026-09-18 (Hermes into the kernel as arbiter rather than client; Tripod reconstituted as Hera/Artemis/Console; Console as the fleet bind point; BIRTH general with authority bounded by inheritance; one gentle -> from-scratch -> brutal recovery ladder; SOS as a standard message type with Hermes excepted via a sinking semaphore; no provisional handoff of a failed birther's authority), and separates it from what is still open. Grounded against the tree rather than recalled, with provenance marked per claim. Notes the concrete consequences the move runs into: Artemis's two by-name S" Hermes" VM-EXEC call sites, the routing table's written "never renumbered" commitment on slots 0/1/2, and the per-VM CREATE/ALLOT message arenas that decide whether this stays a reshuffle or becomes a rewrite. Design only. No code authorized, nothing else in the tree touched. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01VkM1zHGvBerLF6aqkHPweP
