#189, ENGINE step 4, Phase 1 (plan 2026-11-13-engine-step4-phase1), Tasks 1-4. Captain Bob, 2026-11-13: Q1 "A new node key", Q2 "Per heartbeat tick", Q3 "All of v3's", Q4 "In Phase 1" / "Full births now", who runs next "Hera by compudynamics now" (Task 5, to come). - stadium.c/.h: stadium_node_key(node) ("NODE" | number), stadium_boot_init_for(first), stadium_birth_node(key, name); stadium_boot_init() and stadium_birth_hera() are them for Hera's key, so v3's path is as it was (only an impossible panic's words changed). - kernel_main.c: the system is chosen and said first, then the Stadium, sessions, switch-signal and kernel-Hermes tables for both systems in v3's order; v4: Hera, node 10, patron zero under her node key, the word, block and opcode layers. The quota self-test and the heartbeat's line are functions now, called by both systems. - sk_v4.c/.h: sk_v4_run() goes -- sk_v4_boot() returns, the kernel's checks after POST (opcodes, words, conservation, quota, heartbeat), then sk_v4_prompt(). sk_v4_charge_opcodes() at the heartbeat's service points (the key wait, after each line) and once after POST. - stadium_ops.c/.h: a node's 32 opcodes as Stadium patrons (HEAT-OP's feed, "Both"): retirements charged as the word layer's dispatches, a quantum each, the reservoir's floor kept, shared by retirements when short; cooling per tick as words. ~0.5 us a charge on the host: kept. - qemu_session.py: a v4 acceptance boot fails without "Stadium: N cells", "Stadium conservation: CONSERVED" and the heartbeat's ticks (#189). Tests first (logs/20261113-122142): the physics check failed on the v4 boot; test_stadium_node, test_stadium_ops (and its share case, after a real boot showed ";" taking all the heat) failed before. Now: kernel host tests all pass; amd64 v4 boot passes, POST 539/539, dict_hash unchanged, "Stadium opcodes: 30 resident, hottest opcode 8", CONSERVED; a system=v3 boot prints its Stadium lines as on 2026-11-06.

include/starkernel/
Headers for LithosAnanke, the bare-metal UEFI kernel (src/starkernel/).
Built only via Makefile.starkernel; gated by __STARKERNEL__ when shared
with hosted code.
uefi.h— UEFI protocol/type definitions consumed by the loader.elf64.h,elf_loader.h— ELF64 parsing and kernel-image loading.boot_info_offsets.h— struct-offset constants shared between the assembly bootstrap and the C boot path.arch.h,apic.h,timer.h— architecture init, APIC interrupt controller, timer (TSC/HPET/APIC, 100 Hz heartbeat).console.h,framebuffer.h,vt100.h— UART 16550 console, framebuffer driver, and VT100 terminal emulation over the framebuffer.pmm.h,vmm.h,kmalloc.h— physical memory manager (bitmap allocator), 4-level x86_64 paging, kernel heap allocator.pci.h,virtio_blk.h— PCI enumeration and the VirtIO block device driver (disk backend for the kernel block subsystem).capsule.h,capsule_birth.h,capsule_loader.h,capsule_run.h,capsule_vm_physics.h,capsule_generated.h— capsule system types, birth protocol, physics-runtime capsule bindings, and the build-time- generated capsule directory (seetools/mkcapsule.c).kernel_args.h,cmdline.h— boot-time kernel argument parsing (starforth.cfg/ command line).repl.h— kernel REPL.log.h,doe_log.h— kernel logging and DoE metrics logging.q48_16.h— kernel-build copy of Q48.16 fixed-point arithmetic.xxhash64.h— content-addressing hash used for capsule IDs.hal_memory.h— hardware-abstraction-layer memory interface.
Subdirectories:
hal/— top-level hardware-abstraction-layer interface.vm/— kernel VM subsystem headers (capsule arena, parity logging, bootstrap wiring).freestanding/— minimal libc-shim headers (assert.h,ctype.h,errno.h,inttypes.h,math.h,sched.h,signal.h,stdio.h,stdlib.h,string.h,time.h,sys/time.h,sys/types.h) for building shared VM code in the freestanding kernel environment, where no real libc is available.
