Claude e8e7ec8b9f feat(v4): word accounts at call -- the word ID in the header, the kernel's records, the Stadium charged per tick (#189)
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.

\ end.f18 -- the end of the system's source: the state it is switched on in.
\
\ What was set in C when the nucleus was prebuilt (v4/tools/mkimage.c, gone
\ since the machine's ROM assembles the system), said with the
\ ROM's directives (MACHINE.md, the ROM's language). RAM is all zeroes
\ when the machine starts, so only what is not zero is stored. Then the
\ image record (map: (IMG)), the addresses a host needs (v4/image.h), and
\ start: the ROM clears what it used and the node waits for a message.
\ the dictionary: empty, at DBASE; the newest entry, the nucleus's last
store DP DBASE

\ the control-flow stack, the number base, the log level
