The kernel's ed25519_verify() is deliberately verify-only -- no signing, no keygen, no entropy source. That conflicts with the on-device MINT word vision (Zuse signing new user certs live at runtime), so this reopens that constraint on request rather than reshaping MINT around verify-only. vm_uuid.h already found the real gap: amd64 has RDRAND, riscv64 has Zkr, but QEMU's aarch64 CPU models have neither -- confirmed against QEMU 10.2.1. A deterministic PRNG (fine for VM UUIDs) is not safe for key generation, so this adds a virtio-rng device instead of a per-arch split: real host entropy, identical guest-side protocol on all three arches. New src/starkernel/virtio/virtio_rng.c + include/starkernel/virtio_rng.h, transport plumbing mirroring the existing virtio_blk.c driver exactly. Wired into kernel_main.c boot, -device virtio-rng-pci added to all three QEMU targets. Verified live (temp probe, written/run/captured/reverted): 16 real bytes pulled through the full request/notify/poll round trip on all three arches, three different values confirming real entropy. Final boot against the reverted, permanent code: clean compile, clean boot to ok> on amd64/aarch64/riscv64, Stadium conservation intact, no panics or guest errors. Ed25519 keygen/signing itself (Phase B) and the MINT word design (Phase C) remain open, documented in FABRIC-3.md.

with hosted code.
uefi.h— UEFI protocol/type definitions consumed by the loader.elf64.h,elf_loader.h— ELF64 parsing and kernel-image loading.boot_info_offsets.h— struct-offset constants shared between the assembly bootstrap and the C boot path.arch.h,apic.h,timer.h— architecture init, APIC interrupt controller, timer (TSC/HPET/APIC, 100 Hz heartbeat).console.h,framebuffer.h,vt100.h— UART 16550 console, framebuffer driver, and VT100 terminal emulation over the framebuffer.pmm.h,vmm.h,kmalloc.h— physical memory manager (bitmap allocator), 4-level x86_64 paging, kernel heap allocator.pci.h,virtio_blk.h— PCI enumeration and the VirtIO block device driver (disk backend for the kernel block subsystem).capsule.h,capsule_birth.h,capsule_loader.h,capsule_run.h,capsule_vm_physics.h,capsule_generated.h— capsule system types, birth protocol, physics-runtime capsule bindings, and the build-time- generated capsule directory (seetools/mkcapsule.c).kernel_args.h,cmdline.h— boot-time kernel argument parsing (starforth.cfg/ command line).repl.h— kernel REPL.log.h,doe_log.h— kernel logging and DoE metrics logging.q48_16.h— kernel-build copy of Q48.16 fixed-point arithmetic.xxhash64.h— content-addressing hash used for capsule IDs.hal_memory.h— hardware-abstraction-layer memory interface.
Subdirectories:
hal/— top-level hardware-abstraction-layer interface.vm/— kernel VM subsystem headers (capsule arena, parity logging, bootstrap wiring).freestanding/— minimal libc-shim headers (assert.h,ctype.h,errno.h,inttypes.h,math.h,sched.h,signal.h,stdio.h,stdlib.h,string.h,time.h,sys/time.h,sys/types.h) for building shared VM code in the freestanding kernel environment, where no real libc is available.
