Punch list §25 item 4.1a complete. New prerequisite item, found while scoping 4.2: no quota-granting mechanism existed at all. Adds stadium_grant_quota(new_vm_id, from_vm_id) -- a one-time initial grant at birth, distinct from item 1.3's still-unbuilt recurring capacity-transfer arbitration. Splits the donor's free list evenly by cell count, reassigns stadium_owner[] for every moved cell, and grants the new VM a fresh Q48_ONE reservoir (not a split of the donor's -- per-VM conservation, same pattern as Hera's own boot grant). Wired into every baby VM's birth in capsule_birth.c. Verified via a boot-time self-test in kernel_main.c using a synthetic identity (not the real UUID pool, not a real capsule birth -- item 0.1's Hera-alone pruning stays intact). All three architectures booted to ok> with identical output: grant OK, Hera reservoir=0 (already fully committed to resident words, correctly unchanged), test-vm reservoir=65536 (fresh Q48_ONE). dict_hash identical across all three and unchanged from item 4.1's baseline (0x3d4e1daf289da94f) -- confirms no dictionary word was added.

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.
