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.

One directory per physical target. make boot_image TARGET=<NAME> (repo root) maps the
name to a directory here, reads its board.mk, and builds the single file that goes on
that board's boot medium into build/boards/<board>/.

Disk images are assembled by scripts/mkdiskimage.sh, which needs no root access and no loop
devices. KERNEL_ARGS="..." is written as starforth.cfg (UEFI boards) or cmdline.txt
(Pi 5, where the firmware copies it into /chosen/bootargs). BOOT_IMAGE_SIZE_MIB sets the
image size; the default is 128.
Hardware status: none of these images has been booted on real silicon from this build. The
PC image has been booted in QEMU (q35 + OVMF, from its own disk) through POST. (PC was named
SER5 until 2026-10-14, after the first PC on the bench; the image was never specific to it.) The Pi 5
native path (raspi/README.md) and the JH7110 peripherals have still only been checked by
compiling.
