Resolves item #3 of docs/working/archive/session-logs/2026-07-24-punch-list.md ("riscv64 hosted build isn't reachable via plain make"), the last open item from that list. Decided against options (b) chasing GCC's riscv64 nanosleep-visibility failure at its root (undiagnosed, open-ended) and (c) leaving it manual — instead wired the already-verified clang recipe (commit4485c38/e287334) into the Makefile, mirroring the existing rpi4-cross pattern. Makefile: new riscv64-clang target. CFLAGS deliberately does not reuse $(BASE_CFLAGS) (hardcodes -std=c99); clang needs -std=c11 -pthread here instead. Registered in `make help` and .PHONY. docs/lithosananke/hosted-acceptance-test/README.md: riscv64 section now points at `make riscv64-clang` instead of the long manual invocation. Updated Background section and commit list to reflect that all three punch-list items touching this doc (#1 asm fix, #2 doc command, #3 make target) are now resolved. Verified: `make riscv64-clang` produces a binary with identical results to the manual command it replaces (965 passed / 0 failed, "ALL IMPLEMENTED TESTS PASSED!", "3 Goodbye!" for the piped acceptance script).

StarForth / LithosAnanke Documentation
This is the lithosananke branch: the bare-metal StarKernel side of the project
(contrast master, which is the hosted-VM-only side). Documentation follows the
two-tier model described in docs/CLAUDE.md: formal/ is the polished,
citable LaTeX tier; working/ is living design notes and drafts that feed it.
Everything else in this directory is branch- or subsystem-specific material that
doesn't fit either tier.
Layout
- formal/ — Three-volume LaTeX documentation set (research volumes,
practitioner books, standalone reports) plus the
scraps/fragment library it's assembled from. Audience: patent counsel, SSRN reviewers, licensees, hobbyists with hardware in hand. Seeformal/CLAUDE.mdfor authoring conventions. - working/ — Living documents: architecture design notes, DoE
experiment logs, hardware/platform notes, draft specs, academic-paper source
material, and an archive of superseded docs. Source material for
formal/. - 03-architecture/ — Tripod VM architecture constraints (Hera/Hermes/Artemis) and the word-level ACL system design.
- lithosananke/ — LithosAnanke kernel branch documentation: milestone roadmap, system architecture, HAL reference, kernel command-line argument design, and the amd64 APIC-timer ISR postmortem.
- birthing/ — VM birthing plan and status for the Hera-spawns- Hermes/Artemis constellation, plus three-architecture QEMU acceptance logs.
- patent/ — Provisional patent application source. Legal hold — ask Bob before touching anything in this directory.
- api/ — Generated Doxygen tag file and warnings log (gitignored; not part of the tracked doc tree).
- pptx/ — Elevator-pitch and deep-dive slide decks for different audiences (technical, non-technical, academic, PhD-level).
Current Active Work
- LithosAnanke M7/M7.1 — VM parity validation and init capsule architecture.
See
lithosananke/README.mdandlithosananke/M7.1.md. - Word-level ACL system — Phase 6 complete on
master; Phase 7 (LithosAnanke parity) is the next step. See03-architecture/word-acl/README.md. - Tripod VMs — Hera (governor), Hermes (messenger), Artemis (memory/block
storage). See
03-architecture/tripod/README.mdandbirthing/.
Contributing
- Place new material in
working/first; promote toformal/only when it's ready to be cited (seeformal/CLAUDE.mdfor promotion criteria). - Never touch
patent/,formal/patent/,formal/scraps/legal/, orworking/legal/without Bob's explicit instruction. - Add a
README.mdto any new category-level subdirectory, following the format used throughout this tree: orientation paragraph + bullet list of real files with one-line descriptions.
