Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 f6e2737f1e Phase E: MINT -- real keypair, Zuse-signed DER cert, working default identity
capsule_mint_identity() (new capsule_mint.h/.c): mints a fresh identity
onto a blank/unminted thumbdrive -- real Ed25519 keypair from virtio_rng,
a fresh drive_uuid (independent random draw, not derived from the
identity seed, per FABRIC-3.md §F.8 decision 3), a Zuse-signed DER cert
in the CERTVERIFY format, and a small working default personality (a
real WELCOME word, not a stub -- FABRIC-3.md §F.6/§F.8's own "default
personality content" question stays open, but whatever mints today must
actually do something when RUNCAP births it). Refuses to overwrite a
drive that already reads as a recognized home-blocks drive, mirroring
WRITE(10)'s own refuse-on-non-blank posture (decided now, not just
"reasonable by analogy" as §F.8 left it).

x509_build_user_cert() (x509_ed25519.h/.c): the encode-side counterpart
to the existing decode functions (x509_extract_ed25519_pubkey(),
x509_verify_signature(), x509_extract_serial()) -- a minimal DER TLV
writer producing exactly the fields those functions read. Host-tested
round-trip against the real decoder before trusting it in the kernel,
including a high-bit-serial case that exercises the DER integer-padding
rule; all assertions pass (pubkey/serial round-trip, signature verifies
against the real issuer, correctly rejects the wrong key and a
corrupted signature).

New user_identity_seed_t (user_identity_seed.h): the on-disk record for
a minted identity's own keypair, same magic+version+fields+pad-to-4096+
real-CRC convention as zuse_cert_devblock_t and homeblocks_sig_t. Fixed
devblock layout: sig(1), cert(2), seed record(3), default personality(4).

New MINT word (mama_forth_words.c) and a small accessor
(sk_repl_get_attached_blk_dev(), repl.h/.c) exposing the currently
attached USB device regardless of home-blocks recognition -- MINT's own
target is a blank drive, which by definition never sets Phase D's
sk_repl_get_homeblocks_dev().

Verified end-to-end live in QEMU: MINT on a genuinely blank test drive,
then (after a detach/reattach so the sig cache picks up the fresh
header -- a known workflow gap, not fixed here, flagged for whoever
builds the real Console onboarding flow) RUNCAP birthed a VM from that
drive's own newly-minted content, and VM-EXECing its WELCOME word
printed the default personality banner. The full mint-to-birth Tripod
identity flow works end to end for the first time. Clean 3-architecture
regression boot confirms no side effects on normal boot.

include/starkernel/

Headers for LithosAnanke, the bare-metal UEFI kernel (src/starkernel/). Built only via Makefile.starkernel; gated by __STARKERNEL__ when shared 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 (see tools/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.
