4 of 19 words fully modelled ([, ], STATE, IMMEDIATE), 2 guard-only partial (:, ;), rest deferred behind three named model gaps: dictionary- entry creation (never modelled anywhere in this suite before now), data-field addressing (same class as the existing >BODY gap), and mutable per-entry dispatch (word_table is a fixed global, can't express DEFER/IS). Finding: defining_words.c's [/]/STATE are registered after (and thus permanently shadow) dictionary_manipulation_words.c's versions of the same names -- that file's prior "dead cross-VM-shared static" finding only ever applied to the shadowed, unreachable code. The live versions correctly use vm->state_addr, a real per-VM field, now added to vm_state.
