Claude 046ce0be65 feat(v4): the mesh boot to spec -- Hera born empty in the kernel's fabric; births, kills, every node stepping together (#189)
ENGINE step 4 Phase 1, Tasks 5b-5d, and the edge cases (Captain Bob, 2026-11-13: "Build it to proper
spec"; "Check for the edge cases"; "Yes, add it to v4-checks").

- v4/system/mesh.c, v4/include/v4/mesh.h: the nucleus assembled by the ROM and given to Hera as F18
  cells; Hera born empty at place 0, the kernel on port 0, the console on port 1; told she is 10, in the
  registry, the kernel's words, FORTH-79, sealed, POST, the kernel's capsules. NODE-BORN / NODE-KILL in
  the owner's room.
- No scheduler: v4_mesh_tell returns once the node told says how its text ended, and
  v4_mesh_step / v4_mesh_busy let the host step the fabric while it waits, so nodes run between
  lines as during them. A text left "waiting" is owed its end: the next line ends it "Interrupted"
  and is then run (MESH.md 7b.6).
- kernel: sk_v4.c boots through the mesh; its idle steps the fabric while a node can run, and halts
  only when none can (#151 kept). stadium_return_quota and stadium_ops_forget on a kill.
- Tests: v4/tests/test_mesh_boot.c (32 checks: the boot, births, kills, rebirth, a live number, a
  fault, no such node, Hera not killing herself, no room, a line too long, a node running for ever,
  a wait broken by the next line), run by `make -C v4 test` and under ASan+UBSan by `sanitize`
  (v4-checks); kernel/tests quota return; scripts/qemu_session.py births() and the edges on bare
  metal.
- Docs: ENGINE.md 6 "who runs next" struck (settled: no scheduler); the Phase 1 plan; FABRIC-3
  XLVIII.23; .claude/memory/rules.md: alpha.5 closed to new work.
- Evidence: v4-checks 80 programs under the sanitizers, 0 failures; the hosted builds alike; two
  stopped v4-checks runs labelled STOPPED; three development amd64 boots labelled.

/* boot.h -- how a StarForth v4 system comes up: the machine's ROM assembles
* the system, then its capsules are loaded, then the prompt.
* docs/v4.0.0/MACHINE.md, NUCLEUS.md.
*
* The hosted binary (tools/hosted.c) calls v4_boot_run: one node, which its
* ROM brings up and which is handed its lines. The bare-metal kernel
* (kernel/src/v4/sk_v4.c) did too, until 2026-11-13; it now boots the fabric
* (v4/mesh.h; #189, ENGINE step 4 Phase 1): the ROM assembles the nucleus by
* v4_boot_assemble, and Hera is born empty and given it. Corrected
* 2026-11-13 -- this said the two "differ only in where the text goes".
* Both print the same parity lines, in the same order:
*
* PARITY:V4_F18 name=v4:sys:map-64.f18 capsule_hash=0x... (one for each blob of the system's source)
* PARITY:V4_ROM words=N rom_hash=0x... instructions=N (the ROM, and what assembling the system cost)
* PARITY:V4_CAPSULE name=v4:forth79.4th capsule_id=0x... capsule_hash=0x... dict_hash=0x...
* PARITY:V4_POST tests=N pass=N fail=N (POST is the kernel's: v4/post.h)
* PARITY:V4_SYSTEM word_count=N dict_hash=0x... (the system as sealed, after POST)
* PARITY:OK
* POST: PASSED
*
* or, if anything is wrong, what was wrong and then
*
* PARITY:FAIL
* POST: FAILED
*
* A capsule is found by name in the directory tools/mkcapsule.c baked into
* the binary, its hash is recomputed, its signature is checked -- one that
* does not verify refuses the capsule, a missing one is only reported, as
* for v3's capsules -- and its blocks are handed to the node a line at a
* time (docs/v4.0.0/ENGINE.md 3.1). Every line must complete; the first
* that ends in an error, or in QUIT, ends the boot. What a line prints is
* shown.
*
* The dictionary hash is FNV-1a over the node's memory below HERE, a cell at
* a time, low byte first, then LATEST. It does not depend on the machine:
* every build of one commit, with one cell width, prints the same hashes.
