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).

as a /* */ block (C, headers, assembly, linker scripts) or # lines (scripts,
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).
Comments only: the kernel builds on amd64, aarch64, riscv64; make -C v4
test-32: 39 programs, 0 failures; every changed script parses.

ci/pki/starshipos-root-ca.pem, made on the CI box by make-ca.sh
(2026-11-07, Ed25519, to 2046-11-07; Captain Bob), and its SHA-256
DA:A7:40:56:65:41:1A:FE:E6:08:85:3F:6E:AD:83:3A:38:30:83:E6:F0:6D:69:A6:A8:9E:92:BD:85:93:39:81
in starshipos-root-ca.sha256. Verified: self-signed, CA:TRUE, and it issued
capsules/pki/starshipos-intermediate.der (openssl verify: OK). Every
release attaches it (gitea-release), and the Downloads page shows its
fingerprint; it is also the anchor #139 would build into the kernel.

Ruled by Captain Bob, 2026-11-07: "New root CA on the CI box. Valid
StarshipOS rather than snake oil intermediate."
- ci/pki/make-ca.sh makes the StarshipOS Root CA (its key stays on the CI
box) and the StarshipOS Capsule Signing intermediate it issues, and
stores the signing key as the secret CAPSULE_SIGN_KEY.
- The kernel finds the signing certificate by one name,
CAPSULE_SIGNING_CERT_NAME = pki:starshipos-intermediate.der. The
certificate itself lands once make-ca.sh has run; until then the
snakeoil intermediate is in the tree under its old name and the
capsules check as "no root key" (a warning, as "missing" was).
- mkcapsule refuses a signing key that is not that certificate's.
- SIGN_KEY has no default; acceptance, build, nightly and release set it
from the secret.
