The plan predates LithosAnanke and documents the architectural thinking that preceded it. The current LithosAnanke implementation (v1.0.8, milestone M7) supersedes this plan. The session log is preserved as a historical design record. Key architectural decisions recorded in this log that survived into LithosAnanke include: the StarForth VM as ring-0 microkernel (no separate kernel layer), FORTH words as kernel service primitives, UEFI PE32+ executable format, ExitBootServices transition sequence, and the six-phase milestone structure (UEFI boot, kernel primitives, FORTH integration, platform I/O, multi-architecture, advanced features). The capsule system, LithosAnanke component architecture (Hera, Hermes, Artemis), and the current three-architecture build (amd64, aarch64, riscv64) all trace to the design intent recorded here. %% TODO(bob): if the formal dev-guide volume carries a LithosAnanke %% architecture chapter, this session log can supply footnotes for %% design rationale decisions (e.g., pure FORTH userspace, no ELF loader).
