#189, ENGINE step 4 Phase 1, Task 5a. Captain Bob, 2026-11-13: "Full births now"; "Hera as now, in a fabric". - sk_v4.c: the kernel's fabric (v4/fabric.h), Hera's node at its one place, entered in its registry (v4/manage.h) as node 10. The registry's answers are real: a birth is "no room" -- the fabric has one place until 5b; CAPSULE-OPEN/-LINE read the kernel's capsule directory, checked as the boot checks (no capsule of F18 code is there until 5b); a born node's parity line. She is not told her number: the boot's console addresses node 0 (told 10, the boot stopped after POST -- kept, labelled, logs/20261113-132712). - boot.h/boot.c: v4_boot's `request` hook (the registry's requests) and `capsules` (the kernel's own, loaded before the seal, so POST runs on them). hosted.c sets neither: the hosted product's boot is as it was. - kernel/Makefile: manage.c in the kernel's v4 engine. - qemu_session.py: a v4 acceptance boot asks NODE-ME . and wants 0. - v4-dictionary.tsv: the 55 words of centre.4th and hera.4th, written from their source and manage.h; mkdictionary.py loads the kernel's capsules into the hosted system before WORDS, so the live list is the kernel's -- 375 words. - .claude/memory/rules.md, rule 6: every boot command under timeout 570. Seen to fail first (logs/20261113-132410): NODE-ME was an unknown word. After: amd64 NODE-ME . gives 0 ok; POST 539/539; word_count 375. v4 suite: test, test-32 99 programs 0 failures; v4-checks 79 under the sanitizers 0 failures, the hosted builds alike.

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).
See include/starkernel/README.md for the corresponding headers.
