KernelArgs gains screen_boot; cmdline.c parses screen=boot (with or without --; any other value:
off). With it, the v4 boot keeps the console mirrored to the framebuffer after POST, with the TTF
font, and says 'Screen: the console stays on until login (screen=boot)'; login and logout work as
without it, and nothing can be typed without Zuse. Without it, unchanged. For the SER5, which has
no known serial port (ruled 2026-10-28). BRINGUP.md: the smoke test's stick and starforth.cfg.
Tests: screen_boot (new) failed on amd64 and aarch64 before, passes on all three ISAs after;
screen_dark_until_login, screen_dark_after_logout, zuse pass. 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 5.

boards/BRINGUP.md A6, FABRIC-3 SXLIII (ruled: one image, switch at boot).
A STARFORTH_V4 kernel carries v3 too; system= in the boot arguments
chooses, else the build's default (V4_DEFAULT: 1 for plain STARFORTH_V4
builds as before, 0 for board images). make boot_image builds both and
always writes starforth.cfg / cmdline.txt with system=v3 first, and cleans
its ISA's objects first -- that clean was removing build/<arch>/SER5, not
the kernel's objects, until fixed here.
Each ISA: v3 by default (hash unchanged), v4 with system=v4 (538/538).
The SER5 image under OVMF: v3 as built, v4 after a one-word edit on it.

Source tree reorganization:
- Move StarForth v3 engine to v3/ (src/, include/, Makefile)
- Move kernel to kernel/ (src/, include/, linker/, Makefile)
- Create v4/ skeleton for F18-ISA golden model (DECOMPOSITION.md, JUSTIFICATION.md)
- Move FABRIC-0..4.md to docs/fabric/
- Move ONTOLOGY.md and ROADMAP.md to docs/
Board infrastructure:
- Add boards/ser5/, boards/raspi/, boards/milkv/, boards/zynq7020/
- Each board has board.mk (ISA, CPU flags, boot recipe) and README.md
- Root Makefile becomes thin dispatcher: boot_image, all, clean, docs take TARGET
- make boot_image TARGET=SER5|RASPI|MILKV builds one GPT/MBR image per board
- ZYNQ7020 target exists but stops with clear error (ARMv7 port not built yet)
- scripts/mkdiskimage.sh builds disk images for all boards
Docs pipeline:
- docs/book/ with LaTeX master (main.tex) and Makefile
- pandoc converts Markdown to LaTeX at build time
- Two Lua filters: table-widths.lua (wide tables wrap), code-breaks.lua (inline code breaks)
- make docs builds single PDF (754 pages, 0 missing characters)
- make docs TARGET=<board> adds board appendix
- build/docs/<book|board>/meta.tex stamps git commit into PDF
Bug fixes:
- 42 include paths that only worked by accident now use correct relative paths
- clang-18 hardcode replaced with configurable CC variable (fixed aarch64 build)
- Pi 5: kernel_2712.img linked at 0x80000, .bss zeroed, memory reserved
- Doxyfile, .clang-tidy, README.md, Kconfig paths updated
Verified:
- Hosted v3 build passes 1012 tests, 0 failures
- SER5 image boots in QEMU (OVMF), POST passes, K exact (65536 = Q48_ONE)
- Milk-V image boots in QEMU (OpenSBI + U-Boot + bootefi), POST passes
- make clean TARGET=<board> removes only that board and its ISA objects
- make all builds all boards, hosted v3, and docs in one run
