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.

src/starkernel/vm/
Kernel-side StarForth VM subsystem.
vm_core.c— kernel port of the core interpreter loop.vm_runtime.c— kernel VM runtime support.vm_bootstrap.c— kernel VM bootstrap (distinct frombootstrap/sk_vm_bootstrap.c, which owns the higher-level subsystem wiring called fromkernel_main.c).arena.c— capsule arena allocator (fixed-region allocation for capsule payload data).parity.c— birth/execution parity logging (VM ID + capsule hash + dictionary hash), enabling offline determinism verification.alloc_kernel.c— the kernel-side implementation of the VM's allocator interface actually referenced byMakefile.starkernel's build (seesrc/platform/README.mdfor a note on a second, unwired copy).q48_stubs.c— deliberate no-op stubs forq48_from_double()/q48_to_double()in the freestanding kernel build, where floating point is unavailable; always returns zero, safe because shared VM code only uses these results for logging/diagnostic paths that are inactive in the kernel build.vm_internal.h— internal-only declarations shared across this directory's files.
Subdirectories:
bootstrap/sk_vm_bootstrap.c— owns VM init + capsule loading wiring, called fromkernel_main.c;kernel_main.citself only owns hardware milestones.host/shim.c— host-service shim bridging the kernel VM tosrc/starkernel/hal/host_services.c.
