Maintainability sweep (prompted by "this is getting hard to maintain"): fixed the remaining three warning classes after the missing-field- initializers commit -- 2x -Wsign-compare (control_words.c, cast at the comparison site rather than changing cf_last_mode's type, which deliberately holds a -999 sentinel outside vm_mode_t's valid range), 2x -Wstringop-truncation (mkcapsule.c, strncpy+manual-null-terminate replaced with the idiomatic snprintf equivalent), and 26x -Wunused-parameter (mostly documented stubs, silenced with the repo's existing (void)param; idiom). One of the unused-parameter warnings was not a deliberate stub -- a real bug. restore_vm_state() (test_common.c) is named, documented, and called by nine real call sites (acl_words_test.c x8 plus its own internal use) as "restore saved VM state", but ignored all four of its parameters and hard-reset to a fixed baseline instead, silently not restoring what any caller actually saved. Fixed to actually assign the passed-in dsp/rsp/error/mode. Found while fixing warnings, reported before touching it, fixed/tested/documented/committed on explicit instruction. Verified: all three architectures build with zero C-compiler warnings (amd64: 3040 -> 0; aarch64's one remaining note is lld-link's own unrelated linker warning, not a C warning). Full amd64 acceptance boot post-fix: POST 1003/965/0/0/38 (total/passed/failed/errors/stubs), "ALL IMPLEMENTED TESTS PASSED!", contract checks (A4'/A1) all passed, dict_hash=0x24b4279f0670aa3a -- an exact match to this document's own previously-recorded baseline hash. .claude/CLAUDE.md corrected to describe the real -Wno-error= exemption list instead of the "-Wall -Werror" oversimplification. FABRIC-2.md Section J records the full sweep, including doc-tree staleness findings flagged but not fixed this pass (docs/lithosananke/ROADMAP.md branch topology, docs/03-architecture/word-acl/DESIGN.md's Phase 7 claim contradicting CLAUDE.md, top-level ROADMAP.md's stale StarForth-era status, the Isabelle pipeline-metrics model mismatch).

tools/
Build-time and integration-test utilities for the StarForth / LithosAnanke toolchain.
Contents
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
mkcapsule.c |
Assembles .4th capsule files into capsule_generated.c baked into the kernel image. Invoked automatically by Makefile.starkernel. |
mkcapsule |
Compiled host binary (rebuilt on demand). |
ttftest.c |
Host TTF glyph-rendering test — font rasterization unit tests, no QEMU needed. |
pe_reloc_gen.py |
Generates PE32+ relocation tables for the UEFI loader. |
svg_to_png.py |
Renders every tracked .svg in the repo to a same-named .png via headless Chromium; leaves the source .svg untouched, run manually. |
hermes_smoke.sh |
Hermes v1 hosted smoke test — swaps in the Hermes init capsule and prints values for manual inspection. |
hermes_channel_smoke.sh |
Exercises the full Hermes channel-negotiation lifecycle (CH-REQUEST → CH-ACCEPT → CH-CLOSE → reap) per the protocol in .claude/HERMES.md. |
hermes_tripod_smoke.sh |
Full Tripod integration test — exercises all 6 inter-VM message paths using the DEFER VM-EXEC/IS VM-EXEC dispatcher shim from init.4th. |
kconfig/ |
Vendored Linux kernel Kconfig tooling (conf/mconf/qconf), GPL-2.0. See tools/kconfig/README.md. |
mkcapsule
# Invoked automatically by the kernel build:
make -f Makefile.starkernel ARCH=amd64 clean qemu
# Manual invocation (for inspection):
./tools/mkcapsule capsules/ build/amd64/kernel/capsule_generated.c
Scans capsules/ for .4th files, computes XXHash64 per capsule, assigns
type (m) to init.4th and (p) to everything else.
