Phase D: RUNCAP -- runtime capsule construction from thumbdrive content
capsule_runcap_birth() (new capsule_runcap.h/.c): builds a heap-only, single-entry CapsuleDirHeader + CapsuleDesc + CapsuleNameEntry + arena from a home-blocks drive's identity_src region (skipping the first devblock, reserved for MINT's user_identity_seed_t record) and hands it to the existing, unmodified capsule_birth_baby() -- no new birth mechanism, matching FABRIC-3.md §F.6's own trace. Found and closed a real gap in that trace along the way: capsule_birth_baby()'s signature check calls capsule_get_signatures(), which unconditionally returns the compile-time-baked global array -- meaningless for a heap-built directory, where index 0 would compare RUNCAP's own content against whatever real capsule happens to occupy that slot in the baked array (guaranteed-wrong, not a security check). Added an explicit skip_pki_sig flag (0 for all 4 existing call sites, 1 for RUNCAP): that content's trust comes from CERTVERIFY, a separate root, not the capsule-PKI chain. Also found live: capsule_birth_baby() never sets the registry entry's own .name (every existing caller does this itself afterward via capsule_vm_registry_set_name() -- RUNCAP now does too), and capsule_exec_payload() requires a "Block NNNN" header per chunk of content or it's silently skipped, never executed -- not a bug, but necessary context for whoever authors MINT's default personality content next. Added a small accessor pair (repl.h/.c) exposing the currently attached home-blocks device/sig -- the same gap F.9's own BINDSTEP scoping had already flagged, needed by both. Verified end-to-end live in QEMU: synthetic identity-source content written directly to a thumbdrive image's raw devblocks (no capsule build, no mkcapsule) was read, compiled, and executed by a genuinely new VM via a diagnostic RUNCAP-TEST word -- confirmed via VM-EXEC invoking a word defined only in that source. Clean 3-architecture regression boot (no RUNCAP drive attached) confirms no side effects.
