sk_repl_idle() (called every ~1s from sk_console_readline()'s idle loop) opens with console_ensure_line_start(), which unconditionally forces a newline whenever the console isn't at a line boundary -- including mid-edit, after characters have been typed and echoed but before Enter. This fired on every elapsed SK_IDLE_BEAT_INTERVAL regardless of whether sk_repl_idle() had anything to print, visually snapping the in-progress input line to a fresh empty line -- indistinguishable from Enter having been pressed. Most noticeable on the space key since it's the most common key hit during a pause. Gate the idle beat on n == 0 (no in-progress edit), mirroring the n > 0 guard the prompt reanchor logic just below already uses. Deferring the xhci/block-sync idle service by at most one more interval while a line is being edited is within its own documented "coarse cadence, cheap early-exit" tolerance. Verified: reproduced via QMP send-key against a live amd64 QEMU boot (multi-character line typed with pauses across several idle intervals stayed intact after the fix, where it previously broke on each interval). Re-verified boot to ok> on all three architectures (amd64/aarch64/riscv64) per repo acceptance policy. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Hosted StarForth VM implementation (compiled by the root Makefile).
Bare-metal kernel sources live in src/starkernel/; FORTH word
implementations in src/word_source/; the test harness in
src/test_runner/; platform shims in src/platform/.
Entry point / interpreter core

Memory / dictionary / blocks
memory_management.c— dictionary allocator.dictionary_management.c— dictionary allocation and search.dictionary_heat_optimization.c— Loop #1 execution-heat tracking.word_registry.c— word registration system.block_subsystem.c— logical→physical block mapper.blkio_file.c,blkio_ram.c,blkio_factory.c— block I/O backends (file-backed, RAM-backed) and the factory that selects between them.stack_management.c— stack operations.

Any .bak file alongside a .c file here (doe_metrics.c.bak,
inference_engine.c.bak, vm.c.bak) is a pre-edit backup left by a past
maintenance script (see scripts/remove_loop_conditionals.sh), not a
build input.
