failed() printed "MINT-ZUSE: failed -- nothing changed" on every failure after YES, though by then gpt_write_one() had rewritten the stick's partition table and the identity partition's first blocks had been zeroed. gpt_write_one() now tells the two apart: GPT_EIO when its first write failed (nothing written), GPT_PART when a later write or flush failed (the disk is changed). MINT-ZUSE keeps "failed -- nothing changed" for GPT_EIO only, and says "failed -- the stick was erased; Zuse not minted" for every failure after the table is written. The marker is still written last. Tested first, seen to fail: qemu_session.py mint_part_fail (writes fail only at the identity partition's first sector, LBA 2048) -- "nothing changed", logs/20261112-122132. After: mint_part_fail PASS; mint_fail (every write fails) still "nothing changed", PASS; replace (the success path) PASS. Their logs here. FABRIC-3 XLVIII.20. Captain Bob, 2026-11-12: "start #168".

src/starkernel/
LithosAnanke — the bare-metal UEFI kernel that boots StarForth directly on
hardware (amd64/aarch64/riscv64). Built only via Makefile.starkernel; the
only valid acceptance test is the three-arch QEMU boot (see
.claude/CLAUDE.md), never make test.
kernel_main.c— kernel entry point, driving the boot milestones (console init, PMM, VMM, interrupts, timers, kmalloc heap, VM bootstrap).repl.c— kernel REPL.doe_log.c— kernel-side DoE (Design of Experiments) metrics logging.
Subdirectories:
arch/{amd64,aarch64,riscv64}/— per-architecture support (APIC/GIC/ PLIC interrupt controller, timers, boot/ISR assembly).boot/— UEFI loader, ELF loading, kernel command-line parsing.capsule/— capsule birth/run/load/validate pipeline.hal/— hardware-abstraction-layer implementation (console, framebuffer, VT100, memory, host services).hash/— XXHash64 content-addressing implementation.math/— kernel-build Q48.16 fixed-point arithmetic.memory/— physical/virtual memory managers and the kernel heap.pci/— PCI bus enumeration.virtio/— VirtIO block device driver.vm/— kernel VM subsystem (bootstrap, core interpreter, parity logging, capsule arena).
