The §G v2.0.0 QEMU release-gate punch list is complete (G.1 xHCI stall recovery, G.2 unified rng_get_bytes() entropy entry point, G.3 NVRAM de-scoped). Bump the kernel version to 2.0.0 (even major = LTS, per the Release Versioning Policy: X.0.0 = QEMU release, X.5.0 = hardware bare-metal release). Update README and .claude/CLAUDE.md version references and the Makefile.starkernel version-roadmap comment. Verified: all three arches (amd64/aarch64/riscv64) build clean with v2.0.0 embedded; QEMU amd64 boot shows "LithosAnanke v2.0.0", POST 1012/0/0 + ok>, rng: backend = virtio-rng + entropy: ready, and Zuse identity confirmed from the attached thumbdrive.
capsules/
FORTH personality files loaded by the VM at boot. A capsule is an immutable, content-addressed payload; its XXHash64 hash is its identity. Any mutation changes the hash and the birth protocol rejects the image.

Block namespace
Block ranges are shared across all loaded capsules — collisions cause silent word-definition overwrites.
| Range | Owner |
|---|---|
| 2048–2099 | init.4th |
| 2100–2199 | doe.4th |
| 3000–3999 | workload capsules |
| 4000+ | user-defined (ACL.4th, zuse.4th, …) |
Each block is limited to 1024 bytes. Verify with wc -c before committing.
