ENGINE step 4 Phase 2 (plan docs/v4.0.0/plans/2026-11-13-engine-step4-phase2-word-accounts.md). Rulings, Captain Bob 2026-11-13: "ID field in the header"; "Per heartbeat tick"; the ACL "All of it in Phase 4". - The word ID, at xt-4 before the flags (ENGINE.md 3b). The system's words are numbered as they are assembled, by a new directive, #id, (and #ids, the count), in the C assembler (text.c) and in the machine ROM's (capsules/v4/rom), which counts in the system's own (NEXT-ID). (HEADER) numbers later words; FORGET gives back the IDs it frees, always the newest; COLD resets to (BOOT-ID); (SEAL) records it. All 313 system headers carry the cell. - The kernel's records (v4/mesh.h): (TELL-DEFINED) and (TELL-FORGOTTEN), requests -19/-20 on port 0, which the kernel puts in (WORD-DEFINED)/(WORD-FORGOTTEN) when it seals a node, and reads the system's own words once. A bit per address marks a word's xt (calls into the ROM or headerless code are not words); at call, the bit test and a count. v4_mesh_charge hands the owner the calls since. - The Stadium: stadium_words_charge -- N calls as N of stadium_word_dispatch's dispatches, shared by calls when the reservoir is short; sk_v4.c charges every node's words at the tick beside its opcodes, and stadium_word_forget before an ID is used again. - Tests first: test_text.c, test_host_dict.c, test_host_quit.c (numbering, FORGET, COLD), test_mesh_boot.c (44 checks), kernel/tests/test_stadium_words.c; qemu_session.py: Hera's words admitted after POST. - amd64: Stadium words: promotions=141 after POST, CONSERVED; POST 539/539; word_count=377; dict_hash 0xa854ba15b437d288 (the new cell); the boot 142 s against Phase 1's 153 s. - v4 test, test-32: all pass; v4-checks: 80 programs under the sanitizers, 0 failures; the hosted builds alike. docs/reference/v4-dictionary.tsv: the two new words; FABRIC-3 XLVIII.24.

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.
