The header scan (Captain Bob, 2026-11-10): 788 source files -- 351 with the
SL-1.0 header, 12 with the old name (docs/working/experiments, kept by
ruling), 31 under someone else's licence (tools/kconfig, Linux's, GPL-2.0:
kept), and 394 with none. Ruled: the SPDX form; capsules (.4th, .f18) and
proofs (.thy) left for a ruling of their own (mkcapsule's 64x16 block format,
content-addressed capsules).

Makefiles, Kconfig; below a shebang or a coding line); tools/mkcapsule.c,
which had the copyright line, gets the SPDX line only.
Not touched: docs/working/ (archive and old campaign material, as the
ruling kept the experiments); v4/system/post_cases.c (generated by
v4/tools/mkpost.py, "do not edit" -- the generator has the header).

LITHOS_VERSION 2.0.1 was premature: per this project's own versioning
policy, 2.0.1 claims SER5 hardware-track progress (RDRAND backend +
thumbdrive image) that was never actually verified on real hardware --
that verification is FABRIC-3.md's own open topic. Reset to 2.0.0
(still a QEMU-only release, correctly). Verified 3-arch boot shows
"LithosAnanke v2.0.0" in each serial log directly, not assumed from the
Makefile edit alone.
Also closes a real gap found in today's earlier FABRIC-series rename:
Makefile.starkernel, Kconfig.kernel, scripts/bleach_zuse_img.sh, four
proof/*.thy files, and isr.S were never swept -- the original file list
only matched *.md/*.c/*.h/*.4th, silently skipping every other
extension. Fixed with the same safe placeholder substitution.
.claude/settings.local.json's historical permission-grant log and
ClaudeEXPORT/'s frozen export were deliberately left untouched.

Captain Bob's correction. 64MB (disk/zuse.img, usb-thumbdrive-test.img)
was always just an arbitrary QEMU-test convenience size, never a
real-world constraint -- but the docs and script didn't say so
explicitly, and an earlier memory's "16GB reference size" phrasing
(already hedged as tentative) risked reading as a decided target.
Audited the actual format for hardcoded size assumptions: none found.
homeblocks_sig_t already carries its own metadata_devblocks field,
recording whatever size a real drive's partition actually is.
Changes: scripts/bleach_zuse_img.sh gains a --size-mb override (tested
both the override and the unchanged default); disk/README.md's
zuse.img entry and FABRIC-3.md both now state the point explicitly;
the memory file and its MEMORY.md index line corrected to match (the
GPT layout's design point is the *proportions* -- small metadata
partition, everything else block storage -- not any absolute size).

Resolves the acl_pinned punch-list item's open question: credential
data (ZUSE-CERT-LO/HI, ACL-CA-KEY-LO/HI) are CONSTANT words, i.e. real
DictEntrys, and acl_pinned's enforcement (vm_create_word()'s
unconditional shadow-refusal for any pinned name) already covers this
generally -- no new flag needed, zuse.4th's ACL-ZUSE-BOOT already pins
both cert constants today.
That investigation surfaced a real gap: ACL-ZUSE-BOOT pins the cert
constants unconditionally on every boot, before any legitimate mint
could ever run, permanently locking in the 0 placeholder on the very
first boot. This directly shaped Captain Bob's next design pass: a
dedicated zuse.img test thumbdrive, "bleachable" back to pristine
state for repeated first-boot testing; a one-time mint-then-pin flow
(fixing the gap above); a separate ongoing S" name" MINT word for
minting additional regular users; and an explicitly-deferred Zuse
recovery path question.
This commit is the first piece: disk/zuse.img (64MB blank, matching
the existing USB-fixture convention) + scripts/bleach_zuse_img.sh
(idempotent reset). Verified live via QMP hotplug -- reads back as
HOMEBLOCKS_SIG_BLANK, correctly simulating a genuine first boot.
Deliberately flat/raw, not GPT-partitioned, matching
homeblocks_sig_check()'s current sig_start_fblock=0 assumption; both
move to a real GPT-relative offset together once a parser exists. No
kernel code touched -- host-side test tooling only, no 3-arch
acceptance boot needed.
Still open: the mint-then-pin boot fix, the MINT word, Zuse recovery.
