Claude 90c5c140ea build: a build no longer dirties the tree
v3/include/version.h is written by every build (kernel/Makefile and
v3/Makefile, both FORCE), with a timestamp and the last build's ARCH; the
committed copy was stale (LITHOS_VERSION 2.1.0). Untracked, and .gitignore's
entry corrected: it said include/version.h, the path before the move to v3/,
and matched nothing.

capsules/BLOCK_MAP.md differed on every build only in mkcapsule's
"Generated ... <timestamp>" header. The timestamp is dropped, so the manifest
changes only when the capsules do; two runs are byte-identical.
mkcapsule's warnings unchanged (5, #143).

Captain Bob, 2026-11-11: untrack version.h and fix the ignore; drop the
manifest timestamp.

Build-time and integration-test utilities for the StarForth / LithosAnanke toolchain.

Contents

File Purpose
mkcapsule.c Assembles .4th capsule files into capsule_generated.c baked into the kernel image. Invoked automatically by kernel/Makefile.
mkcapsule Compiled host binary (rebuilt on demand).
ttftest.c Host TTF glyph-rendering test — font rasterization unit tests, no QEMU needed.
pe_reloc_gen.py Generates PE32+ relocation tables for the UEFI loader.
svg_to_png.py Renders every tracked .svg in the repo to a same-named .png via headless Chromium; leaves the source .svg untouched, run manually.
hermes_smoke.sh Hermes v1 hosted smoke test — swaps in the Hermes init capsule and prints values for manual inspection.
hermes_channel_smoke.sh Exercises the full Hermes channel-negotiation lifecycle (CH-REQUEST → CH-ACCEPT → CH-CLOSE → reap) per the protocol in .claude/HERMES.md.
hermes_tripod_smoke.sh Full Tripod integration test — exercises all 6 inter-VM message paths using the DEFER VM-EXEC/IS VM-EXEC dispatcher shim from init.4th.
kconfig/ Vendored Linux kernel Kconfig tooling (conf/mconf/qconf), GPL-2.0. See tools/kconfig/README.md.

mkcapsule

# Invoked automatically by the kernel build:
make -f kernel/Makefile ARCH=amd64 clean qemu

# Manual invocation (for inspection):
./tools/mkcapsule capsules/ build/amd64/kernel/capsule_generated.c

Scans capsules/ for .4th files, computes XXHash64 per capsule, assigns type (m) to init.4th and (p) to everything else.
