Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 4076a01c35 Fix HEARTBEAT-TICKS@: read heartbeat_ticks() (ISR hardware timer), not

vm->heartbeat.tick_count (FORTH-dispatch counter)

Captain Bob's law is unambiguous: the adaptive heartbeat is the one and
only clock, full stop. The first cut of this word read the wrong
counter under that name -- vm->heartbeat.tick_count is a colon-word-
dispatch counter gated at a fixed cadence (frozen during idle, blind to
per-dispatch CPU cost, see FABRIC-2.md Section Q). The real adaptive
heartbeat is heartbeat_ticks() in src/starkernel/heartbeat.c, driven
directly by the ISR-latched 100Hz hardware timer -- genuinely
time-based, confirmed advancing during idle wall-clock time on all
three architectures (amd64 4039->5510, aarch64 6126->7607, riscv64
2965->4466, each over ~15s idle). Kernel build only (__STARKERNEL__);
hosted build has no ISR timer and keeps the old fallback.

Three-arch QEMU acceptance: POST 1012/0/0 on each, word live-tested.

QEMU disk images used for Artemis (block-storage VM) persistence testing. Mounted via Makefile.starkernel's ARTDISK variable (default disk/artemis.img) as a virtio-blk-pci device on all three architectures' kernel QEMU boots — not scripts/rundisk.sh, which targets a separate, currently-unused disks/ (plural) directory for the hosted VM's --disk-img= flag instead.

artemis.img — standard Artemis persistence test disk. Reformatted 2026-08-02: this image had been stuck in a corrupted state (valid LithosAnanke magic header, but data not matching what ART-READ-TEST expects) since before this repo's own git history begins (git log shows it already broken at the initial commit, carried over from the pre-split monorepo). Chasing down the resulting persistent FAIL: persist-read traced to the data, not the code — the write→reboot→read round trip works correctly on a fresh image (see artemis-debug-roundtrip.img below). Reformatted by blanking the file and letting a normal boot format+write-test it; verified PASS: persist-read on amd64, aarch64, and riscv64 against the same image afterward (cross-arch resume, matching the arch-neutral on-disk format .claude/ARTEMIS.md specifies).
artemis-debug-roundtrip.img — round-trip regression fixture created during that investigation. Known-good: format → self-test → write-test → reboot → resume → PASS: persist-read, confirmed 3 times in a row. Keep this in a passing state; if a future change breaks it, that's a real regression, not a stale-fixture artifact like artemis.img was.
artemis-persist-test.img — persistence round-trip test image (pre-existing; history/state not re-verified during the above investigation).
artemis-poison.img — a separate test image (exact scenario not documented elsewhere in the repo as of this writing; name suggests an adversarial/corruption test, not confirmed).
artemis-unrecognized-test.img — exercises ART-HALT-UNRECOG (.claude/ARTEMIS.md acceptance criterion #6). Regenerated 2026-08-02: the previous copy of this file had itself been silently reformatted by a since-fixed bug in the generic block subsystem (src/block_subsystem.c) — it carried a valid low-level 'STFR'/v2 header despite being meant to represent foreign disk content, direct forensic evidence of the bug described in .claude/ARTEMIS.md's Build Status item 6. Regenerated as 30MB of a repeating POISON-UNRECOGNIZED-DISK-TEST-FIXTURE--NOT-BLANK-NOT-STFR-NOT-ARTEMIS-- ASCII pattern — deliberately neither blank, nor the block subsystem's own 'STFR' magic, nor Artemis's "ARTEMIS\0" marker. Verified on amd64 and riscv64 post-fix: boot correctly halts (ARTEMIS HALT: unrecognized disk content) and the file's sha256 is now byte-for-byte identical before and after boot. Keep this fixture in this poisoned state — if a future change makes its sha256 change across a boot, that is exactly the regression this fixture exists to catch.

Note on incidental header churn: artemis.img picks up a few changed header bytes on every ordinary boot even though no user data changes — blk_subsys_attach_device() always records a fresh mounted_time on a successfully recognized disk, which gets flushed at shutdown. This is expected bookkeeping, not a bug; revert it before committing rather than carrying timestamp noise in git history.

These are regenerable QEMU raw disk images, not source — see .claude/ARTEMIS.md for the storage model they exercise.
