Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 59458a0a16 Cursor indicator + HB-ON/HB-OFF runtime DoE instrumentation toggle
Cursor (Captain Bob: "the only thing we need is a cursor"):
vt100_draw_cursor() draws a solid block at the terminal's current
position, called from repl.c after the prompt prints and after every
keystroke/backspace. vt100_erase_cursor() cleans up the one gap a static
cursor has -- Enter/newline moves away from the cursor cell without a
character draw ever overwriting it, which left a stray block behind
until this fix.

HB-ON/HB-OFF (Captain Bob: run a program with or without instrumentation
without rebuilding):
Converted per-tick DoE logging from a build-time flag (HEARTBEAT_DOE_LOG)
to a runtime one. doe_log_tick_row() now self-gates on g_doe_log_enabled
(default 1, matching the old default) instead of being compiled out
entirely; the call site in vm_runtime.c is unconditional. Two new FORTH
words, HB-ON and HB-OFF, flip the flag live. Removed the now-dead
HEARTBEAT_DOE_LOG plumbing: the Kconfig symbol, and the -D forwarding in
both LOADER_CFLAGS and KERNEL_CFLAGS.

Verified: three-arch clean QEMU boot + logs; dictionary word count 466
(463 baseline + ALT+TAB + HB-ON + HB-OFF, exactly the three words added
across this session); amd64 screendump confirms the cursor renders
correctly after real interactive typing.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 1f3ec3554e starkernel: REPL scrollback, ~1000 lines (FABRIC.md item 4.4q)
Scope decided with Captain Bob before implementation: ring buffer +
recall on today's full-screen vt100 grid, not also confining REPL text
to the 4.4o 640x480 box (that confinement stays open as its own future
item, not a third silent deferral). No keyboard input path exists yet
(M8 unstarted), so the trigger is two new FORTH words, SCROLL-BACK
( n -- ) / SCROLL-FWD ( n -- ), exercised via serial injection.

vt100.c gains a text-only 1000-line ring buffer (kmalloc'd, tens of KB
-- not pixel snapshots, which would be ~1000x larger for no benefit)
plus a shadow buffer mirroring the current screen. scroll_up() now
pushes evicted rows into the ring before the pixel scroll. History is
one continuous sequence (ring then shadow); scrolling always redraws
from that sequence -- no separate pixel-scroll path for scrollback,
decided up front to avoid retrofitting later.

New src/word_source/scroll_words.c (Module 31), thin wrappers over
console_fb_scroll_back()/_fwd() -> vt100_scroll_back()/_fwd(). Bug
caught during live testing: both words initially used an off-by-one
underflow check (dsp < 1) copied from a different, older dsp
convention elsewhere in this codebase; vm_pop() (which these words
actually call) uses dsp as a 0-based top-of-stack index, so the check
rejected every legitimate single-argument call. Fixed by removing the
separate precheck and relying on vm_pop()'s own guard.

Live-verified on all three architectures (exceeds this item's
amd64-minimum bar): generated 50+ lines via a FORTH loop, confirmed
SCROLL-BACK recovers correctly older content, and on amd64 confirmed
SCROLL-FWD returns to genuinely live state (not a frozen snapshot) by
showing the injected commands' own echo. Known limitation confirmed by
direct pixel measurement: redrawn lines lose their original SGR color
(not stored per-cell) -- text recovers exactly, color does not.

Three-arch verified: Failed: 0, dict-hashes identical across all
three (values changed correctly from prior items -- two new words
were added).

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 715ebcc57e ttf_words.c: TTF-TEXT entry point, hmtx advance widths (item 4.3.7e)
Punch list §25 item 4.3.7e complete. New src/word_source/ttf_words.c
registers TTF-TEXT ( c-addr u x y size color -- ): lazily loads the v1
default font capsule + raster cache once, decodes UTF-8 (C
reimplementation mirroring capsules/fabric.4th's DECODE-UTF8 exactly),
looks up each glyph's cached bitmap, blits via fb_put_pixel, advances
the pen by the glyph's real hmtx advance width scaled to pixels.

Necessary plumbing: ttf_parse() now also locates hhea/hmtx, and
ttf_glyph_advance_width() reads a glyph's advance width -- required for
this item's own "proportional spacing correct" acceptance clause, no
advance-width data existed anywhere else in the parser. Verified in
tools/ttftest.c: A/a/0/space all read advance_width=600, correctly
uniform since JetBrainsMono-Regular.ttf is monospace.

(x,y) is raster pixel space (top-left origin, Y-down), deliberately not
the stroke font TEXT's Cartesian Y-up convention -- recorded explicitly
in ttf_words.h, not conflated.

Verified live, amd64, screendump: injected
S" Hi 4.3.7e!" 200 200 28 16777215 TTF-TEXT over a serial socket after
boot, no error, captured a screendump showing the string rendered
legibly with correct mixed-case/digit/punctuation glyphs and even
spacing. TTF-TEXT is this item's permanent deliverable, not a
throwaway probe. Compile-checked clean on all three architectures.

Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 88eb73cfe8 starkernel: item 4.3.5 -- amd64 I/O APIC + i8042 keyboard, interrupt-driven
Punch list §25 item 4.3.5 complete.

New ioapic.c/i8042.c drivers (MADT-derived I/O APIC base, no hardcoded
constants) plus a KBD-SCAN/KBD-DEBUG diagnostic word pair. Three real
bugs found and fixed en route, all blocking this item's own acceptance:
a fatal LAPIC spurious-vector crash (nothing had driven a real external
interrupt through the I/O APIC before), OVMF leaving the keyboard device
itself scanning-disabled (0xF4 fix), and isr.S's stub table only having
individually-numbered stubs through vector 32 -- everything above that,
including our IRQ1 vector 33, silently reported as vector 255 regardless
of which IDT slot actually fired. Verified live via QEMU sendkey against
KBD-SCAN: correct XT Set-1 make/break codes for two different keys.

Robert Allan James ef9806977a starkernel: item 4.3.3 -- Cartesian coordinate machinery, found and fixed a VARIABLE alignment bug
Adds Module 28 (framebuffer_words.c/.h): PLOT ( x y color -- ), FB-WIDTH,
FB-HEIGHT -- raw hardware-boundary C primitives, kernel-only, no-op on
hosted builds, same pattern as every other module.

Adds capsules/fabric.4th (blocks 4900-4902, mkcapsule --lint clean):
COS45/Z->DELTA/PROJECT/CART-Y/CART-PLOT -- the 45-degree cavalier
orthographic projection and Y-flip, in FORTH per the compose-in-FORTH-first
rule (this is policy, not hardware access).

Found and fixed a second real bug while live-testing CART-PLOT over the
serial socket: defining_word_variable() (defining_words.c) captured
vm->here as a VARIABLE's address with no alignment call first, while
vm_load_cell/vm_store_cell require 8-byte-aligned addresses. This capsule's
VARIABLE ZD landed misaligned (945) purely by chance of what preceded it;
other capsules' variables happened to land aligned by luck, not guarantee.
Real deviation from FORTH-83/ANS, which specifies VARIABLE reserves an
aligned cell. Fixed with vm_align(vm) before capturing addr -- ALIGN
already existed as a word but VARIABLE wasn't calling it.

Verified end-to-end on amd64 via manual serial injection + QEMU screendump:
plotted 4 marker points (origin, +100 X, +100 Y, +50 Z) and confirmed all
landed at hand-calculated raster coordinates, including the diagonal
up-right shift for the Z-axis point -- the projection math is correct, not
just non-crashing. fb/fabric-test-cart-plot.png. 4.3.1's corner diagnostic
still renders correctly in the same shot, confirming no regression.

All three architectures (amd64/aarch64/riscv64) boot clean to ok> with the
DoE completing; dict_hash identical across all three
(0xc7f9adf885e306d2), confirming parity is unaffected.

FABRIC.md item 4.3.3 marked done with full acceptance evidence.
