ENGINE step 4 Phase 1, Tasks 5b-5d, and the edge cases (Captain Bob, 2026-11-13: "Build it to proper spec"; "Check for the edge cases"; "Yes, add it to v4-checks"). - v4/system/mesh.c, v4/include/v4/mesh.h: the nucleus assembled by the ROM and given to Hera as F18 cells; Hera born empty at place 0, the kernel on port 0, the console on port 1; told she is 10, in the registry, the kernel's words, FORTH-79, sealed, POST, the kernel's capsules. NODE-BORN / NODE-KILL in the owner's room. - No scheduler: v4_mesh_tell returns once the node told says how its text ended, and v4_mesh_step / v4_mesh_busy let the host step the fabric while it waits, so nodes run between lines as during them. A text left "waiting" is owed its end: the next line ends it "Interrupted" and is then run (MESH.md 7b.6). - kernel: sk_v4.c boots through the mesh; its idle steps the fabric while a node can run, and halts only when none can (#151 kept). stadium_return_quota and stadium_ops_forget on a kill. - Tests: v4/tests/test_mesh_boot.c (32 checks: the boot, births, kills, rebirth, a live number, a fault, no such node, Hera not killing herself, no room, a line too long, a node running for ever, a wait broken by the next line), run by `make -C v4 test` and under ASan+UBSan by `sanitize` (v4-checks); kernel/tests quota return; scripts/qemu_session.py births() and the edges on bare metal. - Docs: ENGINE.md 6 "who runs next" struck (settled: no scheduler); the Phase 1 plan; FABRIC-3 XLVIII.23; .claude/memory/rules.md: alpha.5 closed to new work. - Evidence: v4-checks 80 programs under the sanitizers, 0 failures; the hosted builds alike; two stopped v4-checks runs labelled STOPPED; three development amd64 boots labelled.

Project-level configuration and instructions for Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working in this repository.
CLAUDE.md— the authoritative reference for how an AI agent should work in this codebase: hard rules (branch discipline, never work onmasterwithout permission, never stash without permission, report bugs rather than fixing them unprompted), build commands for both the hosted VM and the LithosAnanke kernel, architecture summaries, and pointers into the rest of the documentation tree.docs/CLAUDE.mdis an older, hosted-only snapshot kept for historical reference — this file supersedes it.TRIPOD.md— architectural constraints for the Tripod: the three-VM fleet (Hera the governor, Hermes the messenger, Artemis the memory/ storage owner) that LithosAnanke boots. Defines each VM's contract and what NOT to put in each one (e.g. no storage logic in Hermes, no event routing in Artemis).HERMES.md— Hermes VM architecture: the message-routing VM. Read in full before touching any Hermes-related code.ARTEMIS.md— Artemis VM architecture: the block-storage/persistence VM, including its free-map allocator. Read in full before touching any Artemis-related code.settings.json— Claude Code session/tooling configuration for this repository.
All four .md files here are binding constraints, not suggestions — they
are read in full before any work on the subsystem they cover, per this
project's own stated policy.
