FABRIC-3 SXXXII.4's deferred LOG-FLUSH, built to the 2026-10-14 rulings (SXXXVIII): everything a VM logs, at or above the log level, goes into its own buffer; it goes to Artemis on LOG-FLUSH, when full, and at once on an ERROR, as one kernel-Hermes LOG_BATCH message she writes on her own turn, the source being the sender the kernel stamped. Records that cannot go yet are counted and reported with the next flush. LOG-SHOW (Hera only) reads the ring back -- it had no reader. Found by the first test that filled it: ring growth overwrote the oldest record and put blank slots inside the live range. Fixed test first. Three ISAs: POST 1052 passed; new parity baseline word_count=526 hash=0x82f4ae7cb2e2d424 (deliberate). CLAUDE.md: Phase 8 PKI closed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
