Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 8b2fb448c7 Clarify: home-blocks thumbdrives are not bound to any particular size
Captain Bob's correction. 64MB (disk/zuse.img, usb-thumbdrive-test.img)
was always just an arbitrary QEMU-test convenience size, never a
real-world constraint -- but the docs and script didn't say so
explicitly, and an earlier memory's "16GB reference size" phrasing
(already hedged as tentative) risked reading as a decided target.

Audited the actual format for hardcoded size assumptions: none found.
homeblocks_sig_t already carries its own metadata_devblocks field,
recording whatever size a real drive's partition actually is.

Changes: scripts/bleach_zuse_img.sh gains a --size-mb override (tested
both the override and the unchanged default); disk/README.md's
zuse.img entry and FABRIC-3.md both now state the point explicitly;
the memory file and its MEMORY.md index line corrected to match (the
GPT layout's design point is the *proportions* -- small metadata
partition, everything else block storage -- not any absolute size).

# bleach_zuse_img.sh - Reset disk/zuse.img (or any home-blocks test image)
# back to pristine/unminted state.
#
# disk/zuse.img simulates the physical Zuse superuser thumbdrive for QEMU
# testing (FABRIC-3.md, Phase 8 kickoff). "Bleaching" it means restoring the
# all-zero blank state homeblocks_sig_check() reads as HOMEBLOCKS_SIG_BLANK
# -- i.e. simulating a genuine first boot, so the one-time mint-Zuse flow can
# be exercised repeatedly during development without hand-regenerating the
# whole image each time.
#
# 64MB is only this script's default -- an arbitrary QEMU-test convenience
# size (matching the existing usb-thumbdrive-test.img precedent for BOT
# driver testing scale), not a constraint on real home-blocks thumbdrives.
# The design is not bound to any particular drive size: homeblocks_sig_t's
# own metadata_devblocks field records whatever size is actually observed,
# nothing in the format or this repo hardcodes one. Override with --size-mb
# for a different test size.
#
# Deliberately a flat/raw image, not GPT-partitioned, matching the same
# simplifying assumption homeblocks_sig_check()'s current call site in
# repl.c uses (sig_start_fblock=0) -- both will need to move to a real
# GPT-partition-relative offset together, once a GPT parser exists. Not
# invented ahead of that work here.
#
# Usage: scripts/bleach_zuse_img.sh [path] [--size-mb N]
# path Optional override; defaults to disk/zuse.img relative to repo root.
# --size-mb N Optional override; defaults to 64 (arbitrary test convenience, see above).
