Conversation
cmd_show_device() read /proc/mounts and printed every host mount as a
synthetic "$1$DGAn:" VMS disk, with the mount point's basename
(uppercased) as the Volume Label -- on this WSL host that showed the
Linux kernel version ("5.15.167.4-MICR") and /usr/lib/wsl/drivers
("DRIVERS") as if they were VMS volumes. INV-4 leak on a
first-two-minutes command (docs/design-authenticity-roadmap.md §2.2).
SHOW DEVICE now lists only the OVMX device table (populated by
MOUNT/DISMOUNT) -- never the host mount table.
MOUNT also used to accept any string >= 2 chars as a device name and
always report success ("MOUNT DKA100: ... accepts anything",
folded into vms-b9f per the roadmap). It now validates the device
name against a known set of VMS device-class mnemonics (2-letter
code + controller letter + unit number -- OpenVMS I/O device naming
convention) and rejects unrecognized ones with SS$_NOSUCHDEV /
%MOUNT-E-NOSUCHDEV instead of silently mounting them. This allowlist
is an OVMX stand-in for "the device was autoconfigured" (OVMX has no
physical controllers) and is flagged for operator purity sign-off
per CLAUDE.md Rule 5 -- it has not been pinned against a live oracle
this session.
Two new hard-gate regression tests reproduce the leak/silent-success
against the pre-fix binary (captured RED) before the fix landed:
- tests/dcl/test_show_device_no_leak.sh: derives leak candidates from
the CURRENT host's live /proc/mounts (not hardcoded WSL strings) so
the check is host-independent, plus checks for the "$1$DGA" naming
pattern that only the leaked code path ever produced.
- tests/dcl/test_mount_unknown_device.sh: MOUNT of an unrecognized
device class ("ZZQ0:") must be rejected, not silently mounted.
Existing tests/dcl/test_mount.sh (MOUNT DUA0:/DKA0:, both real VMS
device classes) and tests/dcl/test_no_unix_leaks.sh continue to pass
unchanged. Targeted suite: 89/89 passed (baseline 87/87 before this
change).

Wave-0 fix was rejected on all 6 challenges. This rework addresses each:
C1/C2 (SHOW DEVICE gutted): root cause was that the boot-registered system
disk (vmsfs_device_add(DKA0) in dcl_main.c setup_session()) only populated
vmsfs's own device->path table, never the separate vms_device_table
(dcl_builtin.c) that SHOW DEVICE / MOUNT / DISMOUNT actually read. On a
fresh session vms_device_table was empty, so SHOW DEVICE printed only
headers -- indistinguishable, to the prior negative-only test, from a
correctly-fixed command. Fix: also register DKA0: into vms_device_table at
boot (mounted, label "OVMXSYS" -- the existing F$GETDVI VOLNAM convention,
not a new value). test_show_device_no_leak.sh gained three POSITIVE
EXPECT lines (DKA0:, Mounted, OVMXSYS) and now echoes the real SHOW DEVICE
output, so a gutted command fails the harness.
C3 (MOUNT DKA100: still accepted): the wave-0 fix validated device-CLASS
syntax only ("DK" is a real VMS mnemonic), so any unit number of a
recognized class -- DKA100:, DKA999:, MKB300:, $77$DGA4242: -- still
mounted successfully; only the bogus class ZZQ0: was rejected, by a test
that asserted on a string the implementer also authored. Fix:
dcl_is_known_device_class() now also requires unit 0 -- OVMX's one
stand-in unit per class, since it has no physical controllers to
autoconfigure real units against. test_mount_unknown_device.sh now
exercises all five devices named across the item and the veracity finding.
C4 (sibling leak): populate_device_list() (F$DEVICE(), dcl_lexical.c) read
/proc/mounts directly and turned e.g. /dev/sdb into "_SDB:" -- verified
live, independently of the SHOW DEVICE leak. Fixed to enumerate
vms_device_table instead. Extended the EXISTING tests/dcl/test_no_unix_leaks.sh
(not a new parallel file) with a host-independent F$DEVICE() check.
C5 (leak suite couldn't fail): test_no_unix_leaks.sh's EXPECT_NOT was
commented out as FUTURE_EXPECT_NOT and always passed. Uncommented as a real
EXPECT_NOT: contains:UNIX_LEAK_DETECTED. Proven to actually go red: stashed
the dcl_lexical.c fix, rebuilt, reran -- FAIL (host device leaked), restored
the fix, reran -- PASS.
C6 (self-certified VMS constants): booted the reference oracle
(~/vax/cluster/, OpenVMS VAX 7.3 vax1) and pinned live: SHOW DEVICE's
column header is byte-identical to OVMX's existing format; MOUNT of an
unconfigured device (DUA99:, DKA0: with no DK controller on that VAX, and
bogus ZZQ0:) all produced the IDENTICAL "%MOUNT-F-NOSUCHDEV, no such device
available" -- severity F, no device name echoed. Corrected dcl_cmd_misc.c's
MOUNT error from the previously self-certified severity 'E' + "- _%s"
suffix to match.
C7 (green counts not evidence): closed by C2's positive assertions --
89/89 now requires the system disk to actually appear.
Also updated tests/dcl/test_mount.sh: its second MOUNT target (DKA0:) now
collides with the boot-registered, already-mounted system disk (correctly
returns %MOUNT-E-DEVMOUNT per the C1 fix), so it now targets DJA0: instead
-- same round-trip coverage across two distinct real device classes,
without weakening any assertion.
Targeted suite: tests/dcl 89/89 passed (unchanged count), full ctest
39/39 (1 pre-existing Docker-unavailable skip, unrelated to this item).

R1 (regression, highest priority): DISMOUNT DKA0: had started SUCCEEDING after the
prior rework registered the boot system disk into vms_device_table (so SHOW DEVICE
could see it) -- real VMS never allows the system disk to dismount. cmd_dismount()
now refuses DKA0:/SYS$SYSDEVICE: before any table lookup. Pinned live against the
oracle (OpenVMS VAX 7.3, ~/vax/cluster/vax1, 2026-07-29): DISMOUNT SYS$SYSDEVICE:
produced the byte-identical "%DISM-F-SYSDEV, The system device cannot be
dismounted" -- facility DISM (not DISMOUNT), severity F. Proven to actually catch
the regression: reverted the check, rebuilt, DISMOUNT DKA0: succeeded and
DIRECTORY DKA0:[000000] kept listing files afterward exactly as the finding
described (vmsfs's own device table is separate and DISMOUNT never touched it);
restored, reran, gate green. New regression test
tests/dcl/test_dismount_system_disk.sh pairs the negative (%DISM-F-SYSDEV, no
%DISMOUNT-I-DISMOUNTED) with positive assertions (DKA0: still Mounted/OVMXSYS,
DIRECTORY still lists NEWDIR.DIR).
R2: MOUNT still accepted DBZ0:/DRA0:/MSA0:/$1$DGA0: (recognized class, unit 0) and
DKA00: (phantom unit, "every digit 0" instead of "unit == 0") -- the oracle
disproved "known class + unit 0 => exists" as a general rule. Replaced the
class+unit regex (dcl_is_known_device_class) with a small, fixed, exactly-named
device inventory (dcl_is_configured_device, dcl_builtin.c: DKA0/DUA0/DJA0 --
OVMX's boot system disk plus the two scratch disks tests/dcl/test_mount.sh
exercises). This generalizes correctly: any device not in the inventory is
NOSUCHDEV regardless of how plausible its class/unit syntax looks, which also
kills the DKA00: phantom (a different string from DKA0:, matches nothing).
Extended tests/dcl/test_mount_unknown_device.sh with all 5 new adversarial names.
Proven red/green: forced dcl_is_configured_device() to always return 1, rebuilt,
watched all 10 devices in the test wrongly mount; reverted, reran, gate green.
R3: SHOW DEVICE's data row had Status one column right of the oracle (25 vs 24)
and Volume Label one column right (49 vs 48) -- both traced to a single stray
literal space between the device-name and status printf fields. Pinned a live
data row against the oracle (~/vax/cluster/vax1: `SHOW DEVICE D` on a mounted
disk) and corrected the format string (also narrowed the Free Blocks field from
%9d to %8d to match the same capture). Proven red/green: restored the old format
string, rebuilt, new column-position check failed exactly as predicted; restored
the fix, reran, gate green.
R4: the three SHOW DEVICE EXPECT lines were bare substrings that never verified
column position (a run-together "DKA0: Mounted OVMXSYS" would have passed).
tests/dcl/test_show_device_no_leak.sh now slices the DKA0: data row at the exact
oracle-pinned byte offsets (24, 48) and asserts the field contents found there.
R5: F$GETDVI("DKA0","VOLNAM") returned the hardcoded literal "VOLUME" (its
SYSDEVICE-substring heuristic never matched "DKA0") while SHOW DEVICE reported
"OVMXSYS" for the identical device. lex_getdvi()'s VOLNAM branch now resolves
SYS$SYSDEVICE and looks up vms_find_device() -- the same table SHOW DEVICE reads
-- so the two interfaces can't disagree again. New test
tests/dcl/test_lexical_getdvi_volnam.sh compares SHOW DEVICE's own printed label
against both F$GETDVI spellings rather than hardcoding an expected string on both
sides. Proven red/green: reverted the lookup, rebuilt, LABELS_DISAGREE
(GETDVI_DKA0_VOLNAM=VOLUME vs SHOW_DEVICE_LABEL=OVMXSYS); restored, reran, gate
green.
Scope note: none of R1-R5 wire an executive facility (no /dev/vms, no vms.ko) --
MOUNT/DISMOUNT/SHOW DEVICE/F$GETDVI are DCL-level operations on an in-process
device table, so the QEMU kernel-executive CI job is not the proving ground for
this item; tests/dcl (via the DCL.EXE harness) is.
Targeted suite: tests/dcl 91/91 passed (89 prior + 2 new). Full ctest 39/39 (1
pre-existing Docker-unavailable skip, unrelated to this item, same as prior wave).

…T host leak)
R3 (Trans Count alignment, hardened): the oracle's $2$DUA0: row ("250" spanning
columns 73-75) could not by itself distinguish left- vs right-alignment; a
second oracle row in the SAME capture, $2$DUA1:, has a single-digit Trans
Count that lands at column 75 -- disproving the 73 OVMX was emitting. Swapped
the trailing literal in cmd_show_device() so the hardcoded Trans Count digit
lands at 75, Mnt Cnt stays at 79. Re-verified live against the oracle
(~/vax/cluster/vax1, `SHOW DEVICE D`) for this rework.
R3 (not-mounted row): pinned live by actually driving a MOUNT/DISMOUNT cycle
on the oracle (`MOUNT/OVERRIDE=IDENTIFICATION DUA3:` then `DISMOUNT DUA3:`) --
a registered-but-unmounted device prints ONLY "Online" + the Error Count
digit, 46 bytes total, no Label/Free Blocks/Trans/Mnt Count. OVMX previously
printed "Dismounted" with a full row of zeroed fields and a stale volume
label; that was its own leak of internal state that isn't real VMS output.
R4 (column-layout check hardened): the prior COLUMN_LAYOUT_OK/BROKEN check
only sliced offsets 24 and 48 -- proven blind by injection (moving Free
Blocks/Trans Count off-position left it green). It now asserts all six
fields: Status@24, Error Count@45, Label@48, Free Blocks@69, Trans Count@75,
Mnt Cnt@79. Added DUA0_LAYOUT_OK/BROKEN for the not-mounted row. Both
break/fix cycles proven by injection (see test run history).
Regression fix: distro's own shipped HELPLIB.HLP documented MOUNT/DISMOUNT
examples (DKA100:/DKA200:) that vms-b9f R2's narrowed device inventory now
correctly rejects -- verified live, all three examples returned
%MOUNT-F-NOSUCHDEV on the pre-fix binary. Updated the examples to devices
OVMX actually has (DUA0:/DJA0:) and added
tests/dcl/test_help_mount_examples_executable.sh, which extracts the exact
command lines from the shipped HELPLIB.HLP and executes them, so it fails
again if either side (inventory or docs) drifts from the other.
MOUNT host-path leak: cmd_mount() used getcwd() as the backing path for its
DCL-visible device table entry, so DIRECTORY <scratch-device>:[000000] leaked
whatever host directory the shell happened to be in when MOUNT ran (verified
live: a marker file in a temp cwd appeared in the directory listing).
Anchored to VMS_ROOT/SYSDISK_MOUNT instead, matching how the boot system
disk itself is registered (dcl_main.c setup_session()). Added a
negative+positive regression pair to tests/dcl/test_no_unix_leaks.sh; proven
red on the pre-fix code, green after.
Not resolved here (see item notes): vms_device_table's mounted/dismounted
state for the scratch inventory (DUA0:/DJA0:) is still not reconciled with
vmsfs's own device resolution -- DIRECTORY on a dismounted scratch device
silently falls back to SYS$DISK rather than erroring, the same class of
defect R1 closed for the (real) system disk, one device over. Vmsfs sits
below vmsdcl in the library dependency graph and cannot reference
vms_device_table without a layering violation; fully closing this requires
the real shared device table (vms-dv1, needs the kernel executive) and is
explicitly out of scope for this leak-fix item.

…t test (vms-b9f round 4)
S1: SHOW DEVICE's Free Blocks column hardcoded 0 for every device while
F$GETDVI("...","FREEBLOCKS") reported a real statvfs()-derived figure -- a
regression introduced by the round-3 rework, forbidden by standing constraint 2
(never fake success/data). Fixed by resolving BOTH interfaces to the same source
of truth: F$GETDVI's FREEBLOCKS/MAXBLOCK (dcl_lexical.c lex_getdvi) now stats the
device's own registered vms_device_table[].linux_path instead of a hardcoded "/",
mirroring the existing VOLNAM fix a few lines up in the same function; SHOW DEVICE
(dcl_cmd_show.c cmd_show_device) now computes Free Blocks with the identical
statvfs() formula on the identical path. Because both call sites resolve the same
device to the same path with the same arithmetic, they cannot disagree again.
Known/flagged tension (not fabricated, see code comment + oracle_pins_for_signoff):
the oracle's 8-wide Free Blocks field assumed VAX/Alpha-era disk sizes; OVMX's
backing store is a full host filesystem whose free-block count can exceed 8 digits
(measured 10 digits on dev host), so Trans/Mnt Cnt can shift right of their pinned
columns on a large-enough filesystem. No oracle capture exists for an overflowing
field, so no truncation scheme was invented here.
tests/dcl/test_show_device_no_leak.sh COLUMN_LAYOUT_OK reworked to match: Free
Blocks/Trans/Mnt Cnt can no longer be sliced at fixed absolute offsets (those
offsets assumed the fabricated 8-digit-max literal). Status/ErrCnt/Label (before
the variable-width field) stay at fixed offsets; Trans/Mnt Cnt are checked as the
row's fixed last-10-bytes suffix; Free Blocks is checked structurally AND
cross-checked byte-for-byte against F$GETDVI's FREEBLOCKS for the same device in
the same process invocation -- the actual regression this closes. Gate proven:
broke the fix (re-hardcoded 0), reran, watched COLUMN_LAYOUT_BROKEN/
FREEBLOCKS_MISMATCH fire; restored, reran, watched COLUMN_LAYOUT_OK/
FREEBLOCKS_CONSISTENT return.
S2: tests/dcl/test_dismount_system_disk.sh's positive assertion
(EXPECT: contains:NEWDIR.DIR) was order-dependent on tests/dcl/test_create_dir.sh
leaking /vms/NEWDIR via a SET DEFAULT that silently fails (that test's own bug,
out of scope here) -- proven by removing /vms/NEWDIR and running this test alone,
which then failed ("Total of 1 file", SYS0.DIR only). Fixed root cause: this test
now creates and cleans up its own uniquely-named marker directory
(/vms/B9FCHKDIR) directly, independent of any other test's fixtures or run order.
Verified in isolation (pristine /vms, test run standalone) and as part of the full
suite; marker directory confirmed absent after the run in both cases.
vms-b9f, round 4.
…onger leaks (vms-b9f round 5) T1: round 4's honest, statvfs()-derived Free Blocks used a MINIMUM-width %8lu, so on a backing filesystem wider than an 8-digit VAX-era disk (10 digits on dev hosts) the row widened past the oracle's 80 bytes and Trans Count/Mnt Cnt shifted off their pinned columns (measured: 82 bytes, Trans@77 not 75, Mnt@81 not 79). No oracle capture of an overflowing Free Blocks field exists or can exist (VAX 7.3's largest disk cannot overflow an 8-digit field), so there is no VMS-authentic overflow behavior to pin. Fixed by clamping the DISPLAYED Free Blocks to an 8-digit ceiling (99999999) -- an OVMX design choice, flagged in-code and in oracle_pins_for_signoff for operator sign-off -- so the row is unconditionally 80 bytes again. F$GETDVI's FREEBLOCKS keeps returning the real, unclamped figure (vms-dv1's problem to reconcile above the clamp). tests/dcl/test_show_device_no_leak.sh hardened to match: asserts the row's total length is exactly 80 bytes and reads Free Blocks/Trans Count/Mnt Cnt at their fixed ABSOLUTE oracle offsets (69/75/79) again, rather than round 4's width-relative slicing. Gate proven red-then-green: re-widened the field, watched COLUMN_LAYOUT_BROKEN fire; restored the clamp, watched COLUMN_LAYOUT_OK return. FREEBLOCKS_CONSISTENT is now clamp-aware: below the ceiling SHOW DEVICE and F$GETDVI must match exactly (unchanged); at the ceiling, F$GETDVI's real figure must be at or above it, proving the clamp fired for a genuine reason rather than silently disagreeing. T2: the dismount test's order-dependence (round-4 finding) was independently verified already fixed by round 4's B9FCHKDIR marker (proven in isolation with a pristine /vms, run standalone and reversed against test_create_dir.sh -- passes either way, no leak after). The remaining, still-open half of T2: tests/dcl/test_create_dir.sh's CREATE/DIRECTORY [.NEWDIR] always landed at the fixed path /vms/NEWDIR regardless of its own SET DEFAULT, and its cleanup never removed it -- leaking into the shared, non-worktree-isolated /vms tree for every other test and concurrently-dispatched agent on the machine (confirmed: /vms/NEWDIR pre-existed before this round's first command ran). Root cause identified in src/vmsdcl/dcl_filespec.c dcl_resolve_path(): it only prepends ctx->default_dir for a bare filename, never for a relative bracket spec like "[.NEWDIR]" that carries no device -- that passes straight to vmsfs_to_linux_path(), whose own "no device" branch resolves it against the VMS root regardless of SET DEFAULT. Confirmed pre-existing and unrelated to vms-b9f (no vms-b9f commit ever touched dcl_filespec.c or vmsfs_translate.c) and affects every DCL command taking a bare "[.SUB]" spec, not just CREATE/DIRECTORY -- well outside this item's SHOW DEVICE/MOUNT/DISMOUNT scope, so it is reported (oracle_pins_for_signoff / unresolved_constraints), not fixed, here. Fixed at the test level instead, matching round 4's B9FCHKDIR convention: a PID-suffixed marker name (collision-safe across concurrent agents sharing /vms) cleaned up at the location it actually lands, and a positive assertion that lists DKA0:[000000] (where it lands) to see the marker cataloged as a real "NEWDIR_nnn.DIR" entry, not just an empty sub-listing that would pass even if CREATE/DIRECTORY silently did nothing. Verified: full tests/dcl suite 92/92 (baseline 92/92, no regression), ctest dcl-integration green, /vms clean before and after the full run, concurrent test_create_dir.sh runs don't collide.

… real DCL.EXE/LOGINOUT.EXE via LINK.EXE (#155) * vms-206: LINK.EXE emits real x86_64 crt0 + cross-image CALL PLT stubs emit_shareable() in src/vmslink/link.c had two pieces hardcoded to AArch64 machine code regardless of g_out_machine: the synthesized crt0 entry stub for a main()-based --executable, and the cross-image CALL PLT stub + import-CALL detection (gated on R_AARCH64_CALL26/JUMP26 only, so R_X86_64_PLT32 references to a producer universal never routed through the import table). An x86_64 main()-based program, or any x86_64 image with a cross-image CALL import, linked to garbage -- exactly DCL.EXE's shape, blocking vms-cb5f. Adds, additively per g_out_machine (mirrors vms-8f5's e_machine gate): - is_call also covers R_X86_64_PLT32, so a PLT32 reference to an undefined-locally, --use-producer-exported symbol becomes an import exactly like aarch64's CALL26/JUMP26. - the cross-image-call reloc-apply branch gets an x86_64 case: a PC32-style S+A-P write targeting the PLT stub instead of the (absent) callee. - the PLT stub emitter gets an x86_64 case: `jmp *disp32(%rip)` (FF 25 imm32) through the import-GOT cell -- the one-instruction analogue of aarch64's adrp/ldr/br page+lo12 GOT load+branch. - the crt0 emitter gets a real x86_64 stub: mov rdi,[rsp] / lea rsi,[rsp+8] / lea rdx,[rsi+rdi*8+8] recovers argc/argv/envp per the SysV process-entry stack layout, `call main` then `mov edi,eax ; call exit` tails the return value into exit(). Encoding verified against `as`'s AT&T disassembly byte-for-byte. New test (src/imgact/test/run_multiobj_exec_x86_64.sh, wired into CI as multiobj-exec-x86_64): links a two-object main() program against a hand-written producer shareable via LINK.EXE --executable --use, activates it by executing the image directly (real kernel PT_INTERP -> IMGACT.EXE, native x86_64, no emulation), and checks the process really ran main(), read a real argc/argv off the stack (two runs, two different exit codes), made a real cross-image CALL through the new PLT stub into the producer, and exited via a cross-image exit() call. Verified this test fails with 'unresolved external symbol' before the fix (confirmed via stash) and passes after. Regression: aarch64 MVP (run_test.sh), aarch64 crt0/PLT (run_multiobj_exec.sh) and x86_64 simple-reloc (run_test_x86_64.sh) harnesses all stay green. Full ctest suite: 106/107 pass; the one failure (facility_attribution_negctl) is pre-existing and unrelated (reproduces identically with this change stashed out -- host/container site-derivation drift in kernel/vms_lock.c attribution, nothing to do with vmslink). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-e5d: LINK.EXE resolves x86_64 GOTPCRELX (type 41), grounded against real musl/libgcc is_got_reloc() only recognized GOTPCREL (9) and REX_GOTPCRELX (42); plain GOTPCRELX (41, gas's non-REX relaxable GOT-load variant) hit patch_pcrel's default die("unsupported .text relocation"). Adds it as a third case alongside its already-handled siblings in is_got_reloc()/patch_got() -- same flat-disp32-write codegen (S(got)+A-P, addend -4), since LINK.EXE performs no GOT-load-to-LEA relaxation for any of the three. Grounded empirically, not from psABI text alone: - The system's prebuilt musl libc.a carries ZERO GOTPCRELX/REX_GOTPCRELX (non-PIC static build) -- confirming the gap check needed a real PIC object set, not just this host's default libc.a. - A `-fPIC -fno-plt` probe (`extern void f(void); void g(void){f();}`) reproduces the exact instruction shape: `jmp *sym@GOTPCREL(%rip)` (ff 25 disp32, no REX prefix -- near indirect call/jmp defaults to 64-bit operand size without REX.W), matching readelf's R_X86_64_GOTPCRELX. - Alpine x86_64 libgcc.a (the exact toolchain vms-cb5f's DECC$SHR build uses) carries 1521 real GOTPCRELX occurrences -- e.g. `call *abort@ GOTPCREL(%rip)` in _absvdi2.o -- confirming the gap is in libgcc.a (GCC's runtime calling abort/etc. through the GOT under -fno-plt), not libc.a itself, and closely matches vms-cb5f's reported 1449 (after its TLS-subsystem filter narrows the count). Proof (done condition): - Pre-fix LINK.EXE reproducibly dies with "%LINK-F-ERROR, unsupported .text relocation" on a hand-built intra-image GOTPCRELX call (caller.o -> callee.o, both defined, forcing the GOT slot to resolve internally rather than deferring as an import). - Post-fix LINK.EXE links it; a new REAL-LOAD harness (src/vmslink/test/gotpcrelx_activate.c) mmaps the shareable at a genuine non-zero ASLR'd base, applies the .vms$rel load-bias fixup IMGACT would perform, and calls in -- proving the GOT cell resolves to the correct address under a real load, not a readelf/byte check. Wired into run_test_x86_64.sh as a permanent regression case. - Whole-archiving the real Alpine x86_64 musl libc.a + libgcc.a (TLS subsystem filtered per vms-cb5f's precedent, an unrelated gap) with pre-fix LINK.EXE reproduces the exact die(); post-fix it gets past that point and (with --allow-undefined for legitimately deferred externals) succeeds end-to-end: 1586 objects, 146 GOT slots, 9610 relocs, EM_X86_64 -- confirming this specific gap is cleared at the scale vms-cb5f hit it. Base: work/vms-b93-integration (vms-206 merged). Blocks vms-cb5f. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-cb5f: parameterize the x86_64 DCL.EXE VMS-native proof harness (ARCH=x86_64) Reproduces vms-b65.6's aarch64 DCL.EXE-through-IMGACT proof for x86_64, per vms-bdf's own done-condition (all four reloc/crt0/PLT beads merged): - run_dcl_native.sh / lib_build_graph.sh: ARCH env var (default aarch64, unchanged) selects the one target-specific codegen flag each producer needs (-mno-outline-atomics on aarch64 vs -mtls-dialect=gnu2 on x86_64, the standing precedent from docs/design-link-x86_64-relocs.md) and the libvmssys arch/<ARCH>/syscall.S. Shared by run_login_native.sh unaffected (ARCH unset -> identical aarch64 defaults, verified against a real arm64 musl container). - mk_{vmsprocess,vmslnm,vmsfs,libvms,vmsrms}_shr.sh / mk_dcl.sh: CFLAGS is now env-overridable (${CFLAGS:-<same aarch64 default>}) so the x86_64 caller can supply target-appropriate flags without a forked copy of each recipe. - mk_decc_shr.sh: DECC$SHR must stay a non-TLS producer (LINK.EXE's one-TLS-object-per-image limit, vms-212 tracks the general fix). aarch64's libgcc.a empirically carries zero TLS-defining members; x86_64's whole- archives a dead-for-OVMX subsystem (GCC's IEEE 754-2008 decimal-float library + -fsplit-stack support) built on the TLSGD general-dynamic model LINK.EXE's x86_64 path doesn't implement (OVMX standardizes on gnu2/ TLSDESC). Filtered architecture-generically by scanning archive members for .tdata/.tbss or TLSGD refs, not by hardcoding names -- a no-op on an archive with neither. - .github/workflows/ci.yml: new dcl-native-x86_64 job, native amd64 (no QEMU binfmt needed -- the runner already is x86_64), ARCH=x86_64 through the same run_dcl_native.sh. BLOCKED short of a green run: whole-archiving real musl libc.a on x86_64 (1345 objects) hits R_X86_64_GOTPCRELX (type 41), a relocation link.c's x86_64 path does not recognize (is_got_reloc() only checks GOTPCREL/ REX_GOTPCRELX) -- confirmed empirically (1449 occurrences across ordinary, load-bearing musl objects, not confinable to dead code the way the TLSGD subsystem was). link.c is out of this item's file-domain per its own repeated header comments ("do NOT edit them here"); see the escalation. Also confirmed (fetched fresh): vms-206 is on work/vms-b93-integration (16c7965) but NOT yet on main -- a second prerequisite for the executable (not just shareable) link step once the GOTPCRELX gap is fixed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-cb5f: make DECC$SHR's x86_64 TLS filter transitive, closing the whole-archive gap Re-dispatch, continuing from work/vms-cb5f now that vms-e5d (GOTPCRELX) is merged into work/vms-b93-integration. Rebased cleanly onto origin/work/vms-b93-integration (vms-206 crt0/PLT + vms-e5d GOTPCRELX both present); the prior CI-job/ARCH-parameterization/CFLAGS work carried over unchanged. Whole-archiving real musl libc.a + libgcc.a on x86_64 got past GOTPCRELX and hit a NEW gap: mk_decc_shr.sh's TLS filter (vms-cb5f's own prior commit) removes members that directly define/reference TLS storage (bid64_add.o etc, via TLSGD) but left non-TLS "glue" objects in place -- _addsub_dd.o/_addsub_sd.o/... call INTO the removed decimal-float subsystem via a plain GOT reference to e.g. __bid64_add, which no longer has a definer once bid64_add.o is dropped. LINK.EXE's "GOT symbol undefined" strict die() was CORRECT given the archive it was handed -- the gap was in the filter only removing the directly-tainted half of a connected dead-code component, not link.c. Fixed by making the filter a reference-graph fixed-point closure: after seeding the direct TLS-tainted set (unchanged), repeatedly pull in any surviving member whose undefined reference is satisfied ONLY by an already- removed member, until nothing new is added. One nm pass over the whole archive up front (not re-invoked per member per iteration) keeps this cheap on libc.a's 1345 members. Verified as a no-op on aarch64's libgcc.a (366/366 members survive, 0 filtered, byte-identical DECC$SHR before/after) and pulls in exactly the expected 148/241-surviving decimal-float + split-stack subsystem on x86_64's. With that fix, the full six-library producer graph + DCL.EXE (22 objects, 6 GOT, 2 TLS, 1053 ABS64-ptr, 145 imports) now link VMS-native and clean on x86_64. Activation through IMGACT.EXE segfaults -- escalated (see PR/item notes), not patched here: link.c/imgact.c are out of this item's file-domain per the item's own repeated header comments, and the crash is upstream of mk_decc_shr.sh (isolated: run_multiobj_exec_x86_64.sh's small-scale crt0/PLT proof -- 3 imports, 1 GOT, 0 TLS -- still passes natively with correct argc-computed exit codes, so this is scale/shape-specific to DCL.EXE's import/reloc volume, not a general crt0/PLT regression). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-a66: LINK.EXE was dropping every read-only-section relocation DCL.EXE segfaulted the moment it was activated on x86_64. The fault PC sat in the anonymous RWX region IMGACT.EXE maps for DECC$SHR, executing non-instruction bytes. Single-stepping from musl's printf_core into pop_arg caught the transfer: movslq (%rcx,%rsi,4),%rdx ; rdx = jumptable[1] add %rcx,%rdx ; rdx = table_base + delta jmp *%rdx with the table entry ZERO, so the jump landed on the table's own address -- inside .rodata, on the "(null)" string constant. Root cause: parse_obj() collected relocations only for sections it bucketed B_TEXT or B_DATA. Every relocation whose target section was B_RODATA was discarded with no diagnostic. gcc emits each `switch` jump table into a per-function read-only section as `.long arm - table_base`; the arms are in .text and the table is not, so the assembler cannot fold the difference and leaves one real R_X86_64_PC32 per arm. All of them were dropped, so every jump table in the image came out all zero. Not a scale bug. Nothing about 145 imports, 6 shareables, 6 GOT slots, 2 TLSDESC entries or the 6-deep --use chain is involved: vms-206/vms-cd1/vms-2e4 passed through this because their specimens contained no switch large enough for gcc to build a table and never called a printf-family function with a conversion. It is a code SHAPE that first appeared when real musl and the real DCL sources entered the link -- 902 such relocations in libc.a, 554 in DCL's own objects. aarch64 was never affected: aarch64 gcc resolves its jump tables at assembly time, so its only read-only-section relocations are .eh_frame PREL32 (never executed). Confirmed empirically on both arches. Fix: collect relocations for B_RODATA as well, via a single bucket_is_patchable() predicate, and emit %LINK-W-RELSKIP for any RELA section whose target is allocatable but not flat-placed -- a silent drop is exactly how this survived four proofs. (That diagnostic immediately surfaces one pre-existing gap: libgcc's cpuinfo.o .init_array, tracked separately, not executed today.) Regression gate: src/vmslink/test/run_rodata_reloc_x86_64.sh + its specimen link a jump-table-bearing image against the real whole-archive musl DECC$SHR, activate it through a real IMGACT.EXE, and diff the transcript against the SAME source built by the system toolchain. It asserts the specimen still produces .rela.rodata (so it cannot rot into a vacuous pass) and fails LOUD -- verified: it dies with "Illegal instruction" on the pre-fix linker and passes on the fixed one. Wired into CI as job rodata-reloc-x86_64. Verified green: dcl-native ARCH=x86_64 (SHOW TIME + A=5, exit 0) and ARCH=aarch64, run_multiobj_exec_x86_64.sh, src/imgact/test/run_test_x86_64.sh, src/vmslink/test/run_test_x86_64.sh, run_test_x86_64_tls.sh, run_decc_shr.sh, run_test.sh + run_multiobj_exec.sh under arm64. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-b6a: wire the VMS-native LINK.EXE shareable graph into CMake (aarch64) Wires the mk_*_shr.sh / mk_dcl.sh / mk_loginout.sh recipes (the vms-b65/c39 lib-migration chain) into `cmake --build` via a new OVMX_LINK_NATIVE option that auto-detects on an aarch64 musl toolchain. `cmake -B build && cmake --build build` now produces LIBVMSSYS$SHR.EXE, DECC$SHR.EXE, LIBVMSPROCESS$SHR.EXE, LIBVMSLNM$SHR.EXE, LIBVMSFS$SHR.EXE, LIBVMS$SHR.EXE, LIBVMSRMS$SHR.EXE, DCL.EXE and LOGINOUT.EXE via LINK.EXE -- verified EM_AARCH64 with zero DT_NEEDED entries on all 9 artifacts. Additive to (not a replacement of) each library's existing add_library() target, which host ctest unit tests still link directly; on non-aarch64-musl toolchains OVMX_LINK_NATIVE stays off with no behavior change. Extracted the previously-inlined LIBVMSSYS$SHR recipe (duplicated in lib_build_graph.sh) into mk_vmssys_shr.sh, the one place the mk_*_shr.sh convention keeps it -- lib_build_graph.sh (run_dcl_native.sh/run_login_native.sh) now calls it too, closing the exact drift risk mk_libvms_shr.sh's LIST comment warns about. mk_vmssys_shr.sh exports vms_kif_setident unconditionally (append-only vector), so run_login_native.sh's SYS_VEC_EXTRA override is no longer needed. Both harnesses re-verified green end-to-end in an aarch64 musl container after the refactor. Added CI job link-native-cmake asserting the readelf ground-source condition directly. x86_64 extension is vms-6da (separate item, unblocked). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-6da: extend the VMS-native LINK.EXE CMake graph to x86_64 Extends vms-b6a's OVMX_LINK_NATIVE mechanism (auto-detected from the compiler's -dumpmachine triple) to also recognize an x86_64 musl toolchain, not just aarch64 -- same CMake target (link_native_graph), same build_link_native.sh entrypoint, no forked plumbing. ARCH is threaded through as an env var to every mk_*_shr.sh recipe (CFLAGS picks -mtls-dialect=gnu2 on x86_64 vs -mno-outline-atomics on aarch64, the same convention lib_build_graph.sh's build_producer_graph() established for the raw-harness path in vms-cb5f/vms-a66). mk_vmssys_shr.sh (extracted by vms-b6a, so it hadn't picked up the ARCH/CFLAGS env-override convention yet) and mk_loginout.sh (missed by cb5f/a66) are brought in line with the rest of the mk_*_shr.sh recipes. Fixed a real bug hit while proving this: `N=$(... | grep -c NEEDED)` aborts under `set -e` in the CI job's alpine /bin/sh whenever the DT_NEEDED count is legitimately zero (grep -c exits 1 on no match) -- present in both the pre-existing aarch64 job and the new x86_64 one; both fixed. Ground-truth proof, real alpine:3.20 musl containers (arm64 emulated, amd64 native), `cmake --build . --target link_native_graph`: - x86_64: 9/9 artifacts EM_X86_64, zero DT_NEEDED, via LINK.EXE - aarch64: 9/9 artifacts EM_AARCH64, zero DT_NEEDED (regression, unchanged) Adds CI job link-native-cmake-x86_64 alongside link-native-cmake, mirroring dcl-native-x86_64's amd64-native (no QEMU) approach. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-d0f5e: fat initramfs ships DCL.EXE/LOGINOUT.EXE VMS-native via LINK.EXE Replaces vms-913.6 (cancelled -- DT_HASH/ld-based dynamic ELF was a proven dead end). distro/Dockerfile.bootable now builds a real alpine:3.20 musl link-native stage that runs `cmake --build --target link_native_graph` (OVMX_LINK_NATIVE, vms-b6a/vms-6da) to produce the 7 shareables (DECC$SHR, LIBVMSSYS$SHR, LIBVMSPROCESS$SHR, LIBVMSLNM$SHR, LIBVMSFS$SHR, LIBVMS$SHR, LIBVMSRMS$SHR) + DCL.EXE + LOGINOUT.EXE via LINK.EXE, plus IMGACT.EXE (its own standalone Makefile, x86_64). All 9 artifacts are ET_DYN with a .vms$sv symbol vector, zero DT_NEEDED/DT_HASH -- ground- truth readelf assertions are baked into the Docker build itself (both in the link-native stage and against the actually-shipped DCL.EXE in the fat initramfs), not just asserted by a separate CI job. STARTUP.EXE and IMGACT.EXE stay static/freestanding; HELP/AUTHORIZE/MAIL/MONITOR/ INITIALIZE ship static for 0.1 (no mk_*.sh recipe yet, scope decision -- DCL is the flagship dynamic proof, not every utility). Ground-truth verified locally: full `docker build` succeeds, QEMU x86_64 boot reaches login (tests/uat/vms_session_qemu.sh: SYSTEM and GUEST sessions authenticate, DCL runs 50+ commands to VMS-correct output, DIRECTORY SYS$SYSTEM: lists the new DCL.EXE/IMGACT.EXE/LOGINOUT.EXE), and test_executive_integral.sh's negative controls (NOEXEC/NODEV, rebuilt from the same fat initramfs) still pass 14/14. KNOWN REGRESSION, not fixed here (out of this item's file-domain -- distro/Dockerfile.bootable + CMake wiring, not src/vmsdcl or src/kernel/vmsfs): SPAWN's first invocation in a session now fails (%DCL-E-CREPRC) where it previously succeeded. Root-caused via an A/B rebuild swapping only DCL.EXE/LOGINOUT.EXE back to static (54/54 UAT checks pass) vs the VMS-native pair (52/54, this SPAWN check newly red). cmd_spawn() (src/vmsdcl/dcl_cmd_process.c) re-execs via readlink("/proc/self/exe"), which resolves to a path vmsfs reports "(deleted)" -- confirmed present already at the top of DCL's own main(), before any DCL code runs, so the deletion happens during kernel PT_INTERP + IMGACT activation, not in DCL or LOGINOUT. No unlink()/rename() of SYSEXE exists in the userspace boot path (checked ovmx_init.c, vms_login.c, vmsfs_translate.c) -- the leading hypothesis is a vmsfs.ko dentry-lifecycle interaction exposed by IMGACT's longer activation time, which needs its own investigation. Login and the item's own done condition are unaffected; test file left unmodified (weakening an existing UAT assertion is outside this item's authority). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-00e: vmsfs must not unhash the dentry of a running image (SPAWN fix) ROOT CAUSE. vmsfs.ko's ->d_revalidate answered "invalid" for EVERY positive regular-file dentry, unconditionally. That is not revalidation, it is permanent invalidation: a d_revalidate() of 0 makes the VFS call d_invalidate(), which UNHASHES the dentry (fs/namei.c lookup_fast() / lookup_open()); an unhashed non-root dentry satisfies d_unlinked(); and d_path() renders any d_unlinked() path with a " (deleted)" suffix (fs/d_path.c path_with_deleted()). /proc/<pid>/exe and /proc/<pid>/fd/<n> are d_path() readers. So the FIRST path walk of a running executable that lives on vmsfs made that program's own /proc/self/exe read ".../DCL.EXE (deleted)" -- with the file present and unmodified. mm->exe_file pins the dentry, so it stayed unhashed for the life of the process. DCL's SPAWN re-execs itself via readlink("/proc/self/exe") (cmd_spawn(), src/vmsdcl/dcl_cmd_process.c), so it execl()'d a path with " (deleted)" on the end, got ENOENT, and answered %DCL-E-CREPRC. That single defect explains BOTH observed shapes, which differ only in when the second walk happens: - static DCL.EXE: nothing re-walks the image during startup, so the first SPAWN's own execl() was the second walk -- spawn #1 worked, spawn #2 onward failed. (The "SECOND SPAWN fails" defect recorded in tests/uat/vms_session_qemu.sh, previously blamed on DCL.) - VMS-native, IMGACT-activated DCL.EXE (vms-d0f5e): IMGACT.EXE re-opens the image by AT_EXECFN to read its .vms$sv/.vms$imp sections (activate_symbol_vector(), src/imgact/imgact.c) BEFORE the image runs, so the dentry was already unhashed at the first line of main() and the FIRST SPAWN failed. IMGACT did not cause the bug; it reached it one walk earlier. Nothing ever unlinked or renamed anything, which is why the userspace audit of ovmx_init.c / vms_login.c / vmsfs_translate.c found nothing. FIX. ->d_revalidate now asks the resolver the question a fresh ->lookup would ask -- "what does this name resolve to right now?" -- and keeps the dentry when the answer is unchanged: - block-device mode: re-resolve the name to a FID (vmsfs_blkdev_resolve(), factored out of vmsfs_blkdev_lookup() with no behaviour change) and compare against i_ino, which IS the FID (iget_locked(sb, fid)). Exact identity: catches a newer version AND a deletion. - overlay mode: compare the current highest version of the base name against the version this dentry resolved to (overlay mints a fresh inode per lookup, so version is the only stable identity). - create intent (LOOKUP_CREATE/LOOKUP_RENAME_TARGET) still returns 0, so O_CREAT cannot be satisfied from the cache and VMS still cuts a NEW VERSION rather than reopening the current one. This is also strictly cheaper than the old behaviour, which paid for the same resolution and then threw away the dentry and the inode anyway. GROUND SOURCE, BOTH DIRECTIONS, ON THE REAL RUNTIME (Rule 6 -- no module was loaded on the host; everything below ran under QEMU). New suite tests/qemu/test_kmod_vmsfs_exepath.c, 28 assertions: pre-fix 3 phases red, incl. "child: /proc/self/exe after re-open = /mnt/.../CHILD.EXE (deleted)" -- the product symptom reproduced at the kernel layer -- then the kernel OOPSES in __fput() (NULL d_inode) when the held fd is closed. post-fix 28/28 green. Phase 3 execs this program from a real block-device vmsfs and has the child do exactly what IMGACT does (re-open its own image by path) and then what SPAWN does (re-exec via /proc/self/exe). Phase order puts it first precisely so it is REACHED before the pre-fix oops kills the process. Phase 2 carries the POSITIVE CONTROL that makes the file non-vacuous: once PROBE.TXT;2 exists, the fd held on ;1 MUST become "(deleted)", because the unversioned name no longer names it -- a d_revalidate that just answers "valid" passes everything else here and goes red on that one. tests/uat/vms_session_qemu.sh on the vms-d0f5e VMS-native fat initramfs: pre-fix 52/54 (both SPAWN assertions red) post-fix 54/54 A SECOND spawn ('SPAWN SHOW TIME') and two assertions on it are added here, because the long-standing "second SPAWN" defect is fixed by the same change -- measured, not assumed. With them: 52/56 pre-fix, 56/56 post-fix. The comment block that recorded that defect as a DCL bug is corrected in place rather than removed. No regression: full QEMU kernel harness 31/31 suites (incl. the existing test_kmod_vmsfs and test_kmod_vmsfs_blkdev version-semantics suites), test_persistent_boot.sh 14/14, test_executive_integral.sh 14/14, Rule 9 runtime-target gate, divider integrity, harness verdict, kif caller census, identity census, facility manifest selftest+coverage. tests/qemu/facility_defects.sh: the new suite joins the two existing vmsfs suites in SCOPE_OUT_SUITES for the reason already stated there -- it never opens /dev/vms, so no executive mutation can turn it red. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-913.7: wire SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM's INSTALL ADD to the real Known Image DB Checked current state first (per item instructions): vms-p78.3's install unification and vms-d0f5e's real-file fat initramfs already held, and test_persistent_boot.sh was passing -- but done condition #4 (SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM carrying INSTALL ADD for each shareable) was not met, and fixing it surfaced two real, ground-verified gaps beneath it: 1. DCL's INSTALL builtin (cmd_install) never dispatched to SYS$SYSTEM:INSTALL.EXE (src/install/install.c, vms-913.5's KFE-database utility). It reimplemented its own flat-text SYS$MANAGER:INSTALL_LIST.DAT that nothing ever read -- IMGACT.EXE's known-image search (src/imgact/known_images.c) mmaps the binary VMS$KNOWN_IMAGES.DAT only INSTALL.EXE writes. Fixed by making cmd_install a thin wrapper that re-execs INSTALL.EXE via dcl_exec_utility(), the same pattern already used for ANALYZE/MAIL/SYSGEN/SYSMAN in this file -- matching install.c's own header comment ("deliberately NOT wired as a DCL builtin"). 2. Once wired, real QEMU boot (docker build + test_persistent_boot.sh) caught that INSTALL.EXE was never copied into the fat initramfs, so every SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM INSTALL ADD failed with %INSTALL-F-NOIMG on live boot -- and that failure silently aborted the rest of SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM despite SET NOON, dropping the "site startup ran" banner test_persistent_boot.sh checks for (14/14 -> 12/14). Fixed by adding INSTALL.EXE to Dockerfile.bootable's fat-initramfs SYSEXE copy list, alongside the other build-static utilities. SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM now INSTALL ADDs exactly the 7 shareables the fat initramfs actually ships (DECC$SHR, LIBVMSSYS$SHR, LIBVMS$SHR, LIBVMSPROCESS$SHR, LIBVMSLNM$SHR, LIBVMSFS$SHR, LIBVMSRMS$SHR -- Dockerfile.bootable's own "9 VMS-native LINK.EXE artifacts" gate). LIBVMSQUEUE$SHR is deliberately excluded: it builds via the ordinary CMake add_library() graph, not the VMS-native LINK.EXE graph, and is not shipped in the fat initramfs -- INSTALLing it would FILNOTFND on every boot. Verified live: docker build -f distro/Dockerfile.bootable + test_persistent_boot.sh, 14/14 checks pass across both boots, with all 7 INSTALL-I-ADDED lines visible each time (idempotent re-add on reboot, matching real VMS SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM practice). New test: tests/dcl/test_install_command.sh proves through real vmsdcl (not around it) that INSTALL ADD/LIST/REMOVE write and clear the actual KFE binary database (magic-byte check), not just matching text output -- the old stub could print the same %INSTALL-I-ADDED text without touching the file IMGACT.EXE reads. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-913.11: verify x86_64 boot-to-login is already proven, fix stale CI comments Live-verified on this worktree's native x86_64 host: docker build distro/Dockerfile.bootable + tests/uat/vms_session_qemu.sh boots real QEMU (qemu-system-x86_64, no emulation) through IMGACT.EXE's x86_64 relocation path (RELATIVE/GLOB_DAT/JUMP_SLOT/TLSDESC) to a DCL login prompt, drives a full scripted session, 56/56 checks passed. This is already the uat-session CI job (Job 7), unconditional on every push since GH runners are x86_64 natively. Job 8/9 comments still said "aarch64-only until bead vms-913.11" as if x86_64 support were still pending; it has its own native-runner counterpart (Job 9b, imgact-x86_64) and the uat-session boot-to-login proof. Corrected the comments to point at the now-complete state instead of a stale forward reference. Done condition satisfied by existing work (vms-8f5, vms-cd1, vms-2e4, vms-a66, vms-00e, vms-d0f5e chain); no functional code change needed. * vms-fbc: shipped-image ground-source gate now covers LOGINOUT.EXE too, not just DCL.EXE vms-c39's done condition (STARTUP execs VMS-native LOGINOUT.EXE, which authenticates against SYSUAF and execs VMS-native DCL.EXE, zero ld/ld.so) was structurally unverifiable in the Docker CI container -- no /dev/vms there. This item's job is proving the SUCCESSFUL leg under a real kernel. Verified live, not assumed: that proof already exists and is repeatable. - src/ovmx_init/ovmx_init.c execl()s SYS$SYSTEM:LOGINOUT.EXE. - tools/vms_login.c (LOGINOUT) authenticates against SYSUAF (sysuaf_authenticate), then execl()s DCL.EXE --login. - src/vmslink/link.c sets PT_INTERP=IMGACT.EXE on every LINK.EXE executable image -- ground truth that no ld.so is anywhere in this chain, not an inference. - distro/Dockerfile.bootable's fat initramfs ships exactly one DCL.EXE and one LOGINOUT.EXE, both copied only from the VMS-native /link-native build (no static fallback exists for either anymore). - tests/uat/vms_session_qemu.sh runs this exact chain under real QEMU in CI (job uat-session, .github/workflows/ci.yml), and vms-00e's own commit records a fresh 56/56 pass on this initramfs today. The one real gap: the Dockerfile's own ground-source readelf gate (does the SHIPPED image -- the actual bytes cp'd into the initramfs, not a copy two directories away -- carry zero DT_NEEDED/DT_HASH) only checked DCL.EXE. LOGINOUT.EXE is the FIRST VMS-native image in the login chain and had no equivalent check on its shipped bytes; a regression that silently reintroduced an ld-linked LOGINOUT.EXE ahead of DCL.EXE would not have been caught by this gate (the generic 9-artifact loop in the earlier link-native stage checks a build-output copy, not what actually ships). Fixed by widening the existing gate to loop over both images. Ground-truth verified locally: `docker build -f distro/Dockerfile.bootable --target builder` -- real build, not mocked -- prints "OK: shipped DCL.EXE is VMS-native (EM_X86_64, zero DT_NEEDED/DT_HASH)" and "OK: shipped LOGINOUT.EXE is VMS-native (EM_X86_64, zero DT_NEEDED/DT_HASH)" for the actual artifacts this build produced. The new for-loop's shell logic was also unit-checked standalone: fails correctly against a real dynamically-linked ELF (DT_NEEDED present) and passes correctly against a statically-linked one, before spending a build cycle on it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-913.10: prove slim-boot login+DCL activates from disk, not initramfs The slim initramfs (STARTUP.EXE-only) and boot.sh --slim wiring already existed (Dockerfile.bootable, boot.sh) but nothing exercised the boot path: test_persistent_boot.sh's two boots both used the FAT initramfs. Extends that harness with: - a static check that the slim initramfs cpio listing carries no DCL.EXE/LOGINOUT.EXE/IMGACT.EXE/SYSLIB (bootstrap-only, as designed) - Boot 3: boots the SAME installed disk with the SLIM initramfs, logs in as SYSTEM/MANAGER over the QEMU serial console (real SHA256-backed SYSUAF credentials, same as tests/uat/vms_session_qemu.sh), and runs SHOW TIME to a real DCL prompt Since the slim initramfs structurally ships none of LOGINOUT.EXE, IMGACT.EXE, DCL.EXE, or the SYSLIB shareables, a real login reaching a working DCL prompt is functional proof they resolve from the mounted system disk's SYS$SYSTEM:/SYS$LIBRARY:, not the initramfs. Measured against a real QEMU boot: 25/25 checks pass. Also adds `cpio` to the runner image's apt install list -- needed by the new static check, absent from the base ubuntu:24.04 image (verified).

Cluster admin / license audit / trademark review stay under vms-d5b R6 for 1.0. Ground-sourced: a real `docker build -f distro/Dockerfile.bootable -t ovmx-boot .` was run on this checkout and reached the builder stage before this shared host's disk filled and the build was aborted for safety. Every command and every piece of documented console output (the %STARTUP-I-* banners, %OVMX-I-EXEC, Username:/Password: prompts, Welcome to OVMX, SHOW TIME) is instead quoted verbatim from GitHub Actions run 31128513528 (commit 8560fa7), where the "Persistent Boot Smoke Test" and "VMS User Acceptance Test" CI jobs build and boot this same image and passed 14/14 + all UAT assertions -- the proven, passing path tests/qemu/test_persistent_boot.sh and tests/uat/vms_session_qemu.sh already exercise on every push.

…x (10 items) (#158) * vms-c9c: negative-control diagnostic prints the condition, not an inferred cause rc!=77 (and rc!=0) for test_syssvc_* only means "77 was not reached" -- it has two distinct causes (a fabricated success, or an unrelated assertion failure), and the old message asserted the first as fact. Proven false on PR #46 (run 30725753152): both fabricated-success assertions passed, the real defect was DCL.EXE crashing. Now the message states the ambiguity and pastes the suite's own FAIL line(s) so the reader attributes from evidence already in the same output. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-86a: shard the per-facility negctl job to fit CI under concurrent load Root cause (measured, rd vms-86a trail): the job ran all 58 manifest defects sequentially in ONE job -- 27m solo, 50m under moderate CI load, >60m and timeout-killed with three PRs in flight. Raising timeout-minutes was rejected (flaky-test rule): it hides the margin problem, it doesn't fix it. Splits the per-facility loop into 6 independent matrix shard jobs, each running ~1/6 of `facility_defects.sh list` (partitioned by NR%6, so it tracks the manifest as it grows/shrinks -- never a hand-maintained sublist). Each shard still runs the SAME positive control and the SAME per-defect equality check (red set EXACTLY require_fail+knock_on_fail, attribution, blind-suite gaps) the single job did, just over a subset. A new aggregate job (keeping the ORIGINAL job name for branch-protection/ doc continuity) unions every shard's emitted execution record and runs the full-manifest comparison against the committed tests/qemu/facility_negctl_observed.tsv in both directions -- the exact check the single-job driver ran on a full run, just over the union instead of one sequential execution. Verified: the 6-way NR%6 partition covers the manifest exactly (58/58, no gaps, no dupes); reconstructing the union from the real committed record and running fnr_compare against it passes; dropping one shard's rows from the union is correctly caught as a mismatch. Both existing static selftests (facility_defects.sh selftest, facility_record_negctl.sh) still pass unmodified. actionlint clean except pre-existing style-level shellcheck notes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-b3b: key the facility-negctl red-set equality on (suite, text), not text alone run_facility_negctl.sh's per-defect equality (check 6) compared bare assertion text against require_fail/knock_on_fail, discarding the suite attribution fail_map() already carries (`cut -f2-`). MEASURED: the text "child: a LOCAL flag set by the parent is NOT visible here (local clusters stay per-process)" -- named by bind-client-no-register, expected from test_syssvc_ef_mproc.c (in that defect's suites_red) -- is also printed verbatim by test_kmod_eflag_mproc.c, which is NOT in suites_red. Under the old equality, a red from either suite satisfied the requirement, so a red from the wrong suite could mask the right suite's own red going missing. Fix: tests/qemu/facility_negctl_equality.sh's fne_scope_map() scopes the observed (suite, text) rows to the defect's suites_red glob (or "(harness)") before the text comparison runs, so a same-text red from an out-of-scope suite can no longer stand in for the suite the manifest actually named. Swept the whole manifest at the same normalisation facility_defects.sh's own selftest uses: every require_fail/knock_on_fail text in every defect is still found within its own suites_red-scoped sources except this one already measured case -- the fix does not narrow any other defect's requirement. tests/qemu/facility_negctl_equality_negctl.sh is the negative control (no QEMU needed): it pins the real collision as still-grounded, proves a red from the right suite still satisfies the requirement, and proves a same-text red from the wrong suite (test_kmod_eflag_mproc) no longer does -- reproducing the driver's own comparison shape end to end. Registered as ctest facility_negctl_equality (label "harness", no container/QEMU). * vms-41b: root rule's header clause requires a NON-static declaration The census credited any function prototyped in a header the build compiles as a root (rule 2, "exported API surface"), because the P-record reading never carried the static/extern qualifier. MEASURED exploit: a dead helper declared AND defined `static` in a multi-includer header (dcl_cmd.h, included by 9 TUs) bought a root exactly like the earlier two-edit recipes this gate already closed -- a `static` declaration can never be an exported entry point, since each includer gets its own private symbol. Fix: call_edges() now tags each P record static|extern, and root rule 2 only seeds from non-static declarations in non-TU files. Verified by hand against the prior recipe (now rc=1, naming vms_kif_chkpriv) and against the pristine tree (unchanged, rc=0). Added negative control 48 to pin it; all 42 controls in test_kif_caller_census_negctl.sh pass. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-d33: close the header-residency root-rule loophole in the kif census Rule 2 of the census's call graph grants a root to "every product function prototyped in a header the build compiles" -- correct for a genuinely exported symbol, but the (origin file, name) tagging that tells a `.c` translation unit's private static from an extern definition only fired when the origin was itself one of the compiled TUs. A header never is, so a `static` function whose declaration AND body both lived directly in a compiled header (e.g. src/vmsdcl/include/dcl/dcl_cmd.h) fell through untagged and landed on the same bare-name node an actually-exported symbol gets -- granting root status, and therefore a product path, to a function with internal linkage that could never be called from outside its own translation unit. MEASURED before the fix: two edits (a static declaration+body in dcl_cmd.h, plus retiring vms_kif_chkpriv's OVMX-UNWIRED token) bought rc=0 at 44/32/12, one extra root (731 -> 732). Fixed by tracking header-resident static definitions independent of the per-TU tagging and excluding them from rule 2's grant. Pristine tree unaffected (731 roots, 1547 reached, 31/44 unchanged) because the loophole requires a function that additionally carries a standalone forward declaration -- a shape no existing static-inline header helper in the tree has. The same two-edit recipe is now rc=1, naming vms_kif_chkpriv. Captured as negative control 48 in test_kif_caller_census_negctl.sh (42 passed, 0 failed, no regressions across all pre-existing controls). This closes one purely-static loophole in vms-d33's "product path, not execution" question -- it does not close vms-d33 itself. A genuinely extern function declared in a header and defined in one .c file is still a root whether or not it is ever called at runtime, and is still indistinguishable here from a real caller nobody exercises -- that gap is execution, not linkage, and needs the per-assertion runtime-attribution instrument's groundwork (docs/design-runtime-attribution.md, residual R7) before it can close. Documented as a disclosed residual, not claimed closed, in both the gate's header comment and the design doc addendum. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-cb5: $SETUAI's SYSPRV test comes from the executive, not the caller's own PCB Round 5 of the Phase 3 security review, against origin/main c871334. sys$setuai -- the one service that rewrites SYSUAF.DAT, UAI$_PWD included -- guarded itself with: struct vms_pcb *pcb = vms_pcb_get(); if (pcb && !(pcb->cur_privs & PRV$M_SYSPRV)) return SS$_NOPRIV; Two ways through. vms_pcb_get() returns NULL for a process that never called vms_pcb_init(), so `pcb &&` made the condition false and NO privilege test ran at all. And where a PCB did exist the mask was pcb->cur_privs, which sys$setprv writes for the calling process with no validation -- the caller's own claim about itself. The test now reads the row the executive holds for the process (vms_kif_getjpi_self), the same source tools/vms_authorize.c uses since vms-b2e, and refuses when that read does not come back (Rule 9: no absent-executive branch). Also fixes the rewrite's UIC write-back base. parse_uaf_line() reads the two UIC fields with strtoul(..., 8) after vms-e60; this fprintf still printed them with %u, so rewriting any record whose UIC digits differ between the bases changed that account's UIC. USER1 ships 200|202 and would have been written 128|130. tests/qemu/test_syssvc_setuai.c drives all of it against a real /dev/vms: a caller with no PCB, a caller with an authenticated non-SYSPRV identity, a caller whose own PCB claims SYSPRV over an executive row that does not, and the SYSPRV positive that keeps the three refusals from being blanket. The SYSUAF.DAT evidence is read by the parent -- a process that neither authenticated nor wrote. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-38c: re-measure runtime attribution post vms-2b2, fix stale anchors vms-2b2 closed: all 16 wired vms_ioctl_* handlers are now MEASURED (25/33 total, 8 UNPROBED = the OVMX-UNWIRED exempt set). Re-measuring the register against that finds 8 of 10 OVMX-EXECUTIVE claims MEASURED, exactly 2 still UNMEASURED: sys$readef and sys$setef. Root cause is NOT unprobed handlers -- vms_ioctl_readef/setef are each measured-dependent elsewhere (test_syssvc_ef_ local, test_kmod_eflag, test_kmod_bind) -- it's a suite-scope mismatch: the defects that mutate their WASSET/WASCLR status word never redden an assertion in test_syssvc_ef_mproc.c, the suite cited as these two claims' own proof. Fixes landed: - test_userspace_service_register.sh: the UNMEASURED branch now distinguishes "handler measured elsewhere, suite mismatch" from "handler unprobed anywhere" instead of always citing the now-closed vms-2b2 as the reason. The stale "2 of 10 measured" / "9 of 33 handlers" comment block is replaced with a re-derivable description instead of a count that will drift again. - facility_attribution.sh selftest checks 3 & 5 hardcoded vms_ioctl_wflor as a "known unprobed" anchor. vms-2b2's own follow-up (vms-2ed) later gave it real coverage in that exact suite, which silently broke the selftest (a stale hardcoded fact, the same mistake class this file argues against). Now derives the anchor from `handlers` output each run. - facility_attribution_negctl.sh control B hit the same staleness (the recorded 2-edit sys$wflor buy no longer represents an unpaid claim, since wflor is now honestly measured in that suite). Control B now detects that organic graduation and falls through to a fresh, currently-live equivalent: one ignored call added to sys$readef's own already-declared EXECUTIVE proof does not flip its standing UNMEASURED to MEASURED -- the adversarial round this item required, run against current data instead of a resolved case. Not enforced: a pristine tree would still red 2 of 10 claims, so the register stays report-only per the item's done-condition. Verified: register (rc=0), register negctl (49/49), facility_attribution selftest (6/6), facility_ attribution_negctl (8/8), facility_defects selftest, facility_record_negctl (25/25). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-05e7: close the composed rename+shared-.inc census exfiltration The census's third definition reading (vms-e2b) namespaced its unrestricted region read to `vms_kif_` names, to tell an exfiltrated interface wrapper apart from vms_syscall.h's 47 static inline syscall stubs. That name filter left an escape: exfiltrate a wrapper's body into a .inc shared with a second product TU (defeating the private-origin rule) AND rename it out of the vms_kif_ namespace (defeating the name filter). MEASURED before this change: 7 edits, universe 44->43, rc=0, PASS -- a silent shrink. Fix: call_edges() now tracks the `inline` keyword alongside `static` and tags a defs-mode static definition "static-inline" when both are present. A new fourth definition-reading term reads the interface TU's full region with no name filter, excluding only "static-inline" definitions -- the tell that separates vms_syscall.h's generic stubs (all `static inline`, verified) from a real wrapper's body (plain `static`, verified against vms_kif.c's own kif_bind/kif_call/etc.). The recipe now reds naming the renamed entry point instead of silently leaving the universe. Added negative control 48 reproducing the full 7-edit recipe; all 42 existing controls stay green; pristine tree rc=0, universe unchanged at 44. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-cb5: test_syssvc_setuai bootstraps the device table before resolving SYSUAF SYSUAF_PATH is a VMS filespec; vmsfs_to_linux_path() cannot resolve it until the system device is in this process's device table, which is what every shipped image does at startup. Without it the suite failed on a missing file instead of on $SETUAI's privilege test, so its refusals would have been explained by the wrong thing. The resolved path is printed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-cb5: negative control setuai-sysprv-caller-declared, and the suite's logical-name bootstrap VMS_SYSUAF_PATH is "SYS$SYSTEM:SYSUAF.DAT", so resolving it needs the logical name table as well as the device table. MEASURED before this: the path resolved to /vms/sysuaf.dat and the suite failed on a missing file instead of on $SETUAI's privilege test. The control deletes the mask test and nothing else -- the state $SETUAI was in for every caller with no PCB. It names the three refusals in require_fail and the file-unchanged check in knock_on_fail, with the reason. facility_defects.sh selftest PASS; coverage PASS (59 defects >= floor 58, all anchored, 27 suites named). Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-e90: teach divider-integrity detector to recognize table separator rows src/vmsscs/include/scs_mscp_srv.h:601 is a legitimate markdown-style comment table ("header offset | size | field" / "---|------|---...") added by vms-4e31 (ddce7ec) to document the SCA block-transfer header layout, not a corrupted divider. The FUSED_RE detector was matching the dash run and flagging the rest of the row as fused-onto-line text. Fix by shape, not by allowlist: a tail made up of nothing but '|' and divider characters (a table separator row's remaining cells) is exempted, the same way a '*/' comment closer already is. Real fusion -- prose from the next comment line -- still trips the check immediately, per new test test_still_flags_fusion_immediately_after_a_table_style_run. Proof suite: 14/14 pass (was 12; added the table-row true-negative and a paired true-positive). Full-tree gate sweep: 777 files, 0 findings. * vms-cb5: $GETUAI/$SETUAI stop losing every empty SYSUAF field Found by the new suite, not by reading: test_syssvc_setuai read USER1's row back out of SYSUAF.DAT after a $SETUAI and got uic_group=202, uic_member=0 where 200 and 202 belong. parse_uaf_line() split the row with seven strtok_r(buf, "|") calls. strtok treats a RUN of delimiters as ONE, so every empty field was dropped and every field after it read one position early. Five of the six shipped rows have an empty field, so $GETUAI answered the wrong hash, the wrong UIC and the wrong privileges for those accounts, and $SETUAI wrote the misparse back. USER1||200|202|SYS$SYSDEVICE:[USERS.USER1]||TMPMBX,NETMBX -> password_hash="200", uic_group=202, uic_member=strtoul(defdir,8)=0 uic_member 0 is why this is more than a parsing bug: tools/vms_login.c does setuid(rec->uic_member), and setuid(0) is not a drop. What stops that on the shipped SYSUAF is that all four accounts this misparse gives member 0 carry no password hash and cannot authenticate (vms-08f) -- not anything here. The replacement split is the one src/libvms/rtl/sysuaf.c's sysuaf_scan() already uses, so the two readers of this file now agree by construction. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-ed8: close register-universe residuals #1-3 disclosed by vms-c19 Closes three of the five gaps test_userspace_service_register.sh disclosed (not claimed closed) after vms-c19: 1. A target declared under tests/, holding its own sys$ definition in a source under tests/, that is nevertheless installed. The tests/ exclusion only asked "is the compiling target declared outside tests/ AND does it compile a non-tests/ source"; a target failing both halves but shipped by install(TARGETS ...) was never asked about. Fixed by scanning every CMakeLists.txt for install(TARGETS ...) and treating a named target as a product target regardless of which directory declared it. 2. A source CMake compiles only under an option this configure leaves OFF, living outside src/ and tools/ (inside those two the glob still catches it, e.g. src/imgact/ under OVMX_IMGACT=OFF). Fixed with a mechanical scan (register_optguard.awk) for add_subdirectory() calls gated by an OFF option that resolve outside src/+tools/; the gate now REFUSES rather than silently certifying a hole, naming the option and path. 3. compile_commands.json was parsed by line shape with no defense against a PARTIAL parse (a "file" field that never reaches a matching object close would have silently dropped that entry). The parser is pulled out into tests/integration/lib/register_buildset.awk, which now counts "file" fields seen vs. objects closed and refuses on a mismatch instead of certifying a shrunk set. Each fix is measured before/after against the real gate on a sandboxed tree: the pre-fix gate PASSes while missing the minted service; the post-fix gate reds naming exactly it. register_buildset.awk's partial-parse path is also unit-tested directly against a hand-built malformed compile_commands.json, since no product-source mutation can perturb cmake's own JSON shape. Pristine tree: rc=0, universe unchanged at 88 services. Negative controls added to test_userspace_service_register_negctl.sh for all three; gate header's "WHAT REMAINS OPEN" disclosure updated to drop the two closed bullets (deleted, not reworded, per the standing prose ruling). Residuals #4 (assembly aliasing) and #5 (shared broken-build-set message prefix) are out of scope for this item and remain open.

…e toolchain (self-host spine #4) Build the vendored MadGoat MMK (tests/corpus/tier3-mmk/) as an OVMX-native image. MMK now REALLY parses a descrip.mms through the just-landed self-host stack and emits the correct build plan: - CLI$ compiled-CLD: mmk_cld.cld is compiled at run time by cli$compile_cld (vms-8c1) and driven by cli$dcl_parse/present/get_value (ovmx_mmk_cld.c). - description-file parse: MMK's parse_descrip/parse_objects run the REAL lib$table_parse engine, driven by the vms-486 PARSE_TABLES.MAR->C grammar compiled -DOVMX_MMK_PRODUCTION so its transitions fire MMK's own parse_store / parse_obj_store (not the vms-486 test probe). - build engine: MMK builds the target/dependency graph and, in /NOACTION, emits the resolved TCC/LINK commands in dependency order. The 15 vendored make-engine TUs are stock except for tagged "OVMX (vms-ec70)" seams (grep the tag). A clean-room (Rule 8) build shim in tests/corpus/tier3-mmk/ovmx/ adapts the stock source to the OVMX RTL: - ovmx_mmk_compat.h VMS storage-class keywords; struct/constant spellings; a PP_NARG call-site macro replacing DEC C's va_count (no SysV x86-64 ABI equivalent); variadic wrappers for RTL arity differences (sys$parse/search/filescan, ots$cvt_tu_l, str$position, lib$get[_symbol]/set_logical, lib$create_vm_zone). - ovmx_mmk_{cld,sp,cms,builtins,compat}.c companions. Real RTL fixes landed alongside (all VMS-faithful, benefit any caller): - tpadef.h/lib_tparse.c: add TPA$B_CHAR (matched char) — MMK needs it to accrete suffix rules. - lib_vm.c: honour LIB$M_VM_GET_FILL0 (zero returned blocks) — MMK's zones rely on it; add lib$reset_vm_zone (was missing). - lib_output.c: lib$get_foreign now supports a dynamic (class D) descriptor (str$copy_dx) — MMK passes an INIT_DYNDESC, which previously returned empty. - rms/nam.h: add nam$b_nop/nam$l_rlf/nam$t_dvi + NAM$M_SYNCHK. - lib_vm.c create_vm_zone over-read hardened via the MMK-side wrapper. Test (CI-wired): tests/toolchain/run_mmk_parse.sh + a CMake mmk_native target build MMK.EXE against the OVMX RTL and run it on a real descrip.mms; the test asserts MMK emits `TCC` then `LINK` in dependency order (exit = SS$_NORMAL). Passes in the standard ctest (toolchain-mmk-parse). Full suite: 167/167 green, no regressions; vms-486 grammar test still green. Native LINK.EXE/IMGACT packaging recipe: src/vmslink/mk_mmk.sh (mk_dcl.sh-style). DEFERRED (flagged, not faked): actual command EXECUTION (turning the plan into a built+activated image) rides MMK's DCL-subprocess/mailbox/AST drive (build_target.c send_cmd_and_wait), which needs OVMX lib$spawn-of-DCL + mailboxes + write-attention ASTs; ovmx_mmk_sp.c supports /NOACTION honestly and returns an authentic error for real builds (no fake success). Also deferred: .OLB module-date (lbr$) in get_rdt, CMS, and the compiled default-rules codegen tools (genstruc/mmk_compile_rules) — MMK ships no built-in rules yet, so a descrip.mms must state rules explicitly.

Two CI-red root causes fixed: 1. Native-link graph (LINK.EXE Graph / DCL native / LIBRARIAN / IMGACT / self- link, all RED): the new lib$reset_vm_zone was an UNFROZEN universal, so mk_libvms_shr.sh appended it and invoked `join` — absent from the alpine musl container (no coreutils) → Error 127, failing every job that rebuilds LIBVMS$SHR. Fix: append lib$reset_vm_zone=PROCEDURE to the END of libvms_shr.vec and libvms_shr.vec.frozen (append-only; existing indices/ GSMATCH unaffected). Verified in-container: "351 frozen + 0 appended", join skipped, link_native_graph produces 9 EM_X86_64 artifacts, zero DT_NEEDED. 2. Build & Test / Static Analysis / Conformance / Corpus (all RED building mmk_native): the CLD-embed generator was gen_mmk_cld_src.cmake, but .gitignore excludes *.cmake, so it never landed in a clean checkout ("No rule to make target gen_mmk_cld_src.cmake"). Fix: ship it as gen_mmk_cld_src.sh (not ignored) and invoke it from the custom command. Full ctest: 170/170 (was 167; main added 3). toolchain-mmk-parse + symvec-freeze green.

…#451) * vms-98c: lib$spawn spawns a REAL DCL subprocess (self-host spine #4, exec-drive prereq A) lib$spawn was a Rule-9 / INV-6 facade: it fork+exec'd `/bin/sh -c <command>` (the Unix Bourne shell, NOT a DCL command interpreter) and returned SS$_NORMAL for a "SHOW TIME" no DCL ever saw. Replace it with a genuine DCL subprocess: resolve SYS$SYSTEM:DCL.EXE through the VMS filespec translator (the same image JOB_CONTROL and PROVISION exec) and fork+exec it against the command via DCL's -c mode, with SYS$INPUT/SYS$OUTPUT redirection. Honest boundary (Rule 9 / INV-6): if the CLI image cannot be resolved or is not an executable regular file, return an authentic VMS error (SS$_NOSUCHFILE) and run NOTHING -- no /bin/sh fallback, never a fake success for a command that did not run. Running a real child image needs no /dev/vms. CLI$M_NOWAIT is honored (create-and-return); wait mode HIBERNATEs on the child and returns its completion status. The efn/AST completion notification, named- subprocess registration, and the persistent-subprocess + mailbox + write- attention-AST protocol MMK's build_target.c uses are prereqs B/C (vms-e0b, vms-9003) -- accepted-and-documented here, not faked. Test: tests/libvms/test_lib_spawn_dcl.c redirects SYS$SYSTEM to a private root, stages the build's own DCL image there, and drives the real lib$spawn path. Asserts (1) SHOW TIME's redirected SYS$OUTPUT carries the current year (oracle: this process's clock) -- proving a real DCL child ran it; (2) with the CLI image absent, lib$spawn fails even-status and creates nothing (no /bin/sh fallback). Hermetic, no shared /vms, no /dev/vms. 34/34 libvms tests green; Rule-9 runtime- target gate + dcl-integration green; full tree builds. No new cross-image symbol (lib$spawn already exported; helper is static), so the libvms_shr vector is unchanged. Doc pins (VSI OpenVMS, public): RTL Library (LIB$) Routines Reference Manual, LIB$SPAWN; DCL Dictionary, SPAWN / SHOW TIME. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-98c: pass DCL image path via test ENVIRONMENT, not a quoted -D (fixes kif_caller_census) The kif_caller_census authenticity gate went red on CI (Build & Test), not from any lib$spawn behavior regression -- test_libvms_lib_spawn_dcl itself passed on CI -- but because its CMake handed the DCL image path to the test as a quoted string compile definition (VMSDCL_PATH="$<TARGET_FILE:vmsdcl>"). That put the only backslash-escaped entry in the whole compile_commands.json, and the census reader parses compile_commands.json and does not implement backslash unescaping. Hand the path over at RUNTIME via a CTest ENVIRONMENT property (OVMX_TEST_DCL_IMAGE=$<TARGET_FILE:vmsdcl>) instead. compile_commands.json is clean again (0 backslash escapes) and the test stays hermetic against the image the build produced. If the variable is ever absent (standalone run) the test skips honestly via SKIP_RETURN_CODE 77 rather than faking a pass. Verified locally: kif_caller_census PASS, test_libvms_lib_spawn_dcl PASS, full ctest 172/172 (e2e QEMU/docker suites skipped as on CI).

…mands to a spawned child, reads results back, through real /dev/vms (#452) MMK (self-host spine #4, vms-ec70) drives the compiler/linker by keeping ONE persistent DCL subprocess open and streaming resolved command lines to it over a VMS mailbox, reading each command's results back over a second mailbox (sp_mgr.c's sp_open/sp_send/sp_receive). The mailbox primitives that requires -- $CREMBX, $ASSIGN by name, $QIO WRITEVBLK/READVBLK, cross-process delivery, temporary-mailbox lifecycle -- are already executive-resident (kernel-core/ vms_mbx.c, vms-d44 + vms-mb1) and were proved ONE-DIRECTIONAL and single-message by test_kmod_mbx.c (by unit) and test_syssvc_mbx_crossproc.c (by name). What those two left open, and what MMK's send_cmd_and_wait actually stands on, is the BIDIRECTIONAL, MULTI-MESSAGE command/response loop between a parent and a genuinely separate spawned child -- and, critically, the BLOCKING WAKE PATH: both prior suites write their one message BEFORE the reader reads, so the reader always finds it already queued and never actually blocks. This new suite runs a PING-PONG: the parent writes command N then blocks in $QIOW READVBLK on the empty result mailbox until the child produces result N; the child, symmetrically, blocks on the empty command mailbox until the parent sends command N+1. In steady state every read blocks on an empty mailbox and is released only by the other process's write (vms_mbx.c's read_wq / cv contract). A single lost wakeup would deadlock forever, so the exchange completing -- with byte-exact, independently predictable results (the child TRANSFORMS each command, result = "OK:"+cmd, so a green assertion can only come from real cross-process delivery) -- is itself the proof the wake is never lost. This is MMK's send_cmd_and_wait shape exactly, minus the write-attention AST (vms-9003). No production code changes: the facility was already complete; this adds the proof MMK's exec-drive needs. No new cross-image symbols (uses sys$crembx / sys$assign / sys$qiow / sys$dassgn, all already vectored), so native-link is unaffected. - tests/qemu/test_syssvc_mbx_cmdresp.c: new suite. Honest no-executive branch ($CREMBX -> SS$_NOSUCHDEV, EXIT_SKIP 77, INV-6 / Rule 9); glob-discovered by the CMake qemu_syssvc_tests target, staged into the initramfs, run in QEMU CI against a real /dev/vms. - tests/qemu/facility_defects.sh: anchor the new suite to the existing mbx-not-shared negative control (its creator-pid check refuses the child's by-name $ASSIGN, reddening exactly this suite's cross-process assertions). No new defect, no floor bump; knock_on_fail + knock_on_why extended. Clean-room (Rule 8): mailbox command/response semantics from the OpenVMS System Services Reference ($CREMBX/$ASSIGN/$QIO to a mailbox) and MMK's own public sp_mgr.c protocol.

…E|IO$M_WRTATTN (#453) The last executive facility MMK's subprocess manager needs before it can drive a real build (spine #4, vms-b23): when one process writes a mailbox, a process that armed a write-attention AST on it gets notified. Zero implementation in tree before this. Built on the executive's existing 4-level AST queue (src/kernel-core/vms_ast.c) — the same queue $DCLAST and the lock manager's completion/blocking ASTs use. The mechanism mirrors the lock manager's queue_completion_ast(): a registration carries the reader's `struct vms_proc *`, and the mailbox WRITE path (vms_ioctl_mbx_write) queues the AST into that process's ast[acmode] queue and drains the registration (ONE-SHOT). The reader dispatches it through $SETAST/DELIVERAST exactly as a $DCLAST AST. This is real cross-process delivery through /dev/vms — process B's write lands an AST in process A's executive queue; no per-process fake can carry it across the boundary (Rule 9 / INV-6). If /dev/vms is absent, $QIO SETMODE fails honestly (SS$_NOSUCHDEV). Registration lifetime follows the lock manager's discipline: a write-attention reg is only reachable while its owner holds a mailbox channel, and both channel-release paths (vms_mbx_dassgn, vms_mbx_release_all at process teardown) strip the process's regs off every mailbox before the proc can be freed, so the back-pointer never dangles. Re-arm replaces any still-armed reg for the channel. Clean-room (Rule 8): IO$M_WRTATTN=0x100 / IO$M_READATTN=0x200 and the one-shot, re-arm-on-SETMODE semantics are from the public VSI OpenVMS I/O User's Reference (mailbox driver) + $IODEF — the same values the tier-4 corpus VMS source (sp_mgr.b32) and MMK's compat shim already use. IO$M_READATTN is documented but not implemented; a SETMODE without a recognized attention modifier is refused SS$_ILLIOFUNC. Layers: - kernel: struct vms_mbx_wrtattn_reg + firing block in vms_ioctl_mbx_write; vms_ioctl_mbx_set_wrtattn (VMS_IOCTL_MBX_SET_WRTATTN 0x75); cleanup in dassgn / release_all / mbx_free. - libvmssys: vms_kif_mbx_set_wrtattn; appended to libvmssys_shr.vec (append-only symbol-vector contract, symvec-freeze green). - libvms: sys$qio/$qiow mailbox path handles IO$_SETMODE|IO$M_WRTATTN (P1 = AST routine, P2 = param), delivered at PSL_C_USER. Proof (real /dev/vms, tests/qemu/test_syssvc_mbx_wrtattn.c): process A arms the AST on a named mailbox; an unrelated re-exec'd process B assigns by name and writes; A's AST fires with the exact param A declared; round 2 re-arms and fires with a new param; round 3 writes without re-arming and the AST does NOT fire (one-shot). 9/9 assertions pass in QEMU. Negative control mbx-wrtattn-not-fired (facility_defects.sh, floor 92→93): forcing the write path's AST allocation to NULL drops the delivery — reddens exactly the suite's 5 fire/param/one-shot assertions while arm/rearm/assign stay green; attribution meta-check passes via inject_and_run.sh against a rebuilt, reloaded vms.ko. MMK's send_cmd_and_wait / sp_wrtattn_ast can now be wired on top of this facility (informs vms-b23 / spine #4 completion).

…erim design (do not fake the mailbox+AST drive) (#454) Wiring MMK's build_target.c send_cmd_and_wait to the three named facilities (vms-98c lib$spawn, vms-e0b mailbox IPC, vms-9003 write-attention AST) exposes THREE further executive/DCL gaps the prereqs proved a PRIMITIVE for but never proved IN COMPOSITION. This is not spine #4's final wiring step. Gaps (evidenced): 1. No async AST delivery — ASTs drain only on sys$setast(1) (sys_ast.c:154); $HIBER is a bare pause() (sys_process.c:448); vms_ast.c:233 names signal delivery a "future enhancement". A hibernating MMK is never interrupted to run the queued write-attention AST → command_complete never set → deadlock. 2. No non-blocking mailbox read — IO$M_NOW dropped (sys_qio.c:200), vms_kif_mbx_read blocks (vms_kif.c:1734) → echo_ast's non-blocking drain loop cannot terminate. 3. DCL cannot use a mailbox as SYS$INPUT/SYS$OUTPUT — DCL is fd/stdio-based (dcl_main.c:762), OVMX mailboxes have no fd (sys_mailbox.c:133 fd=-1). None is a test-harness artifact (Rule 9): faking the drive over them would be the exact INV-6 facade the authenticity invariants exist to kill. So the companion stays HONEST (SS$_UNSUPPORTED outside /NOACTION) rather than pretend. This commit is doc + honest-error-text only — no functional change, no regression risk (toolchain-mmk-parse /NOACTION path unchanged): - docs/design-mmk-exec-drive-ovmx.md — full analysis, design A (VMS-faithful mailbox+AST, blocked on the executive work above) and design B (achievable interim synchronous-.COM-batch drive via the already-working synchronous lib$spawn — real TCC/LINK builds, host-testable, a disclosed transport deviation the operator owns per Rule 5), and the reclassify/decision teed up. - ovmx_mmk_sp.c header + NOSPAWN message point at the precise gaps + the doc. Clean-room (Rule 8): derived from MMK's own sp_mgr.c/build_target.c + the public OpenVMS System Services / I/O User's Reference; OVMX transport labelled as OVMX.

…y a queued AST (cross-process) (#457) * vms-feb: executive-resident async AST delivery — $HIBER is interrupted by a queued AST, cross-process (unblocks MMK send_cmd_and_wait) A queued AST was drained only on an explicit sys$setast(1) and sys$hiber was a bare pause(), so a process that armed a write-attention AST on a mailbox and then $HIBERed waiting for it was NEVER woken when another process wrote the mailbox — a deadlock, and exactly the $HIBER/$WAKE + write-attention pattern MMK's send_cmd_and_wait uses (spine #4, vms-b23). Make the wait, the wake state and the AST-arrival notification executive-resident (Rule 9 / INV-6 — cross-process, through /dev/vms), keeping AST DISPATCH in userspace (the routine address is only valid in the target process): - VMS_IOCTL_HIBER (vms_ioctl_hiber): block until a $WAKE is pending OR an AST is deliverable at/below the caller's current mode (vms_ast_has_deliverable, same bound as DELIVERAST). Returns woken=1 iff released by a $WAKE (consuming a sticky wake bit), 0 iff by an AST. A bare signal does not end $HIBER. - VMS_IOCTL_WAKE (vms_ioctl_wake): set the sticky wake_pending bit on the target (self when vms_pid==0 — the MMK self-wake; else a VMS PID gated by GROUP/WORLD) and wake it. Replaces the old raw-linux-pid SIGCONT shim. - vms_ast_notify_arrival (vms_ast.c): every AST-enqueue path ($DCLAST, mailbox write-attention in vms_mbx.c, lock completion/blocking ASTs in vms_lock.c) now broadcasts the target's hiber_wq after queuing, under hiber_lock, so a $HIBER waiter wakes to drain. Lost-wakeup-free; no lock-order inversion. - sys$hiber loops vms_kif_hiber() + vms$$deliver_pending_asts(), returning only on a $WAKE (its own, or one an AST issued) — VMS re-hibernates after an AST that does not $WAKE. sys$wake targets a VMS PID (self when NULL). New universals vms_kif_hiber/vms_kif_wake appended to the frozen symbol vector (append-only). Clean-room provenance + design in docs/design-async-ast-delivery-ovmx.md (VSI System Services $HIBER/$WAKE + Programming Concepts AST semantics; OVMX choices labelled). Proof (real /dev/vms, QEMU): tests/qemu/test_syssvc_hiber_ast.c — A arms a write-attention AST and $HIBERs with NO explicit $SETAST; unrelated process B writes the mailbox by name; A's AST runs and A returns from $HIBER (bounded, so a deadlock is a FAIL not a hang); plus a sticky-wake scenario. Negctl hiber-ast-not-delivered removes the arrival broadcast → deadlock → red, while test_syssvc_mbx_wrtattn (explicit $SETAST) stays green (floor 93→94). Booted locally: test_syssvc_hiber_ast 5/0, all 73 suites pass (no regression in test_kmod_ast/lock/eflag, test_syssvc_ast/ast_secmode/mbx_wrtattn/mbx_cmdresp). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-feb: freeze new native-link universals (fix Error 127 in alpine-musl link graph, vms-5a2) The native-link/self-host jobs went RED (LINK graph, DCL-native, self-host S1-S4, LIBRARIAN, IMGACT, TCC, PARTS, libvms+vmsrms migration) with Error 127. Root cause: mk_libvms_shr.sh DISCOVERS libvms's exported universals via nm and any not in libvms_shr.vec.frozen go through a `join` reconciliation (mk_libvms_shr.sh:181) that the alpine-musl container lacks (busybox has no join). The prior commit made vms$$deliver_pending_asts NON-STATIC in libvms (so sys$hiber could share the AST drain with sys$setast) -- a new discovered universal absent from the frozen manifest -> non-empty append set -> join -> Error 127. Debug ctest never runs the native-link container, so the local 73/73 QEMU proof did not catch it. Fix (append-only, GSMATCH-safe), the sanctioned workflow the vms$$chan_to_fd family already follows: - libvms_shr.vec + .frozen: append vms$$deliver_pending_asts=PROCEDURE, so it is a frozen universal at a stable index and the join append-path is skipped entirely. - libvmssys_shr.vec.frozen: freeze the three trailing appended entries (vms_kif_mbx_set_wrtattn from vms-9003, plus this branch's vms_kif_hiber and vms_kif_wake) so the libvmssys manifest also has an empty append set. The three must be frozen together to keep .frozen an ordered PREFIX of .vec. Verified: test_symvec_freeze.sh green (both manifests 0 appended, append-only intact), and the FULL VMS-native LINK.EXE graph rebuilds clean in the amd64 alpine:3.20 musl container (cmake --build --target link_native_graph -> 9 artifacts, EM_X86_64, the exact path that was failing). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-feb: upgrade sys$hiber/sys$wake service-register declarations + honest-fail (fix Build&Test) The authenticity gate tests/integration/test_userspace_service_register.sh went RED: sys$hiber and sys$wake now REACH the executive (transitive vms_kif_hiber/ vms_kif_wake calls) but were still declared OVMX-USERSPACE ("pause()" / "SIGCONT by Linux pid") — the register's exact "declared wholly userspace but reaches the executive" refusal. Debug ctest runs this gate; the QEMU executive subset did not. Root-cause fix (not a weakening — the declarations were describing the OLD, now- replaced behavior): upgrade both to the honest split, mirroring sys$setast (which also has an executive half + a userspace AST-drain half): - OVMX-PARTIAL sys$hiber (vms-feb): exec = the hibernate WAIT + sticky wake state are the executive's (VMS_IOCTL_HIBER); OVMX-LOCAL: the AST dispatch + re-hiber loop run in the calling process (vms$$deliver_pending_asts). - OVMX-PARTIAL sys$wake (vms-feb): exec = VMS_IOCTL_WAKE sets the sticky wake bit and resolves a cross-process target by VMS PID; OVMX-LOCAL: NULL-vs-pidadr selection + prcnam-discard are local. Also make sys$hiber fail honestly instead of busy-looping when /dev/vms is absent (Rule 9 / INV-6): vms_kif_hiber now returns the executive's VMS status with the woken flag via an out-param, and sys$hiber returns that status on a non-success (even) code rather than spinning. In QEMU the ioctl succeeds (SS$_NORMAL) so the proven behavior is unchanged. Verified: userspace_service_register PASSES and the FULL Debug ctest is 173/173, 0 failed (the CI Build & Test set, not the executive subset). Symbol set unchanged (vms_kif_hiber keeps its name), so the frozen vectors are untouched.

) A persistent DCL a parent drives over VMS mailboxes -- MMK's send_cmd_and_wait, which keeps one DCL open, feeds it command lines down one mailbox and reads each command's results back over another (docs/design-mmk-exec-drive-ovmx.md, vms-b23, spine #4) -- could not take its SYS$INPUT from a mailbox nor send SYS$OUTPUT to one: DCL's command loop is fd/stdio-based while OVMX mailboxes are executive-resident with no fd (found by vms-b23 #454). SEAM (option a): when SYS$INPUT/SYS$OUTPUT translate to a mailbox device (MBAn:), src/vmsdcl/dcl_mbx.c binds the mailbox to DCL's stdin/stdout through a pipe whose far end is the real mailbox executive path -- a reader thread does IO$_READVBLK on the input mailbox and feeds each command record into fd 0; a writer thread drains fd 1 and emits IO$_WRITEVBLK to the output mailbox. DCL's own loop, unchanged, reads lines from fd 0 and writes to fd 1, so every command byte arrives over the mailbox and every result byte leaves over it (real executive I/O, Rule 9 -- honest no-op when /dev/vms is absent, never a fake). Uses vms_kif_mbx_* directly rather than sys$qiow because OVMX's userspace channel table (the PCB) is thread-local, while the executive keys a process by tgid -- so a mailbox channel this process assigned is reachable from any of its threads through the kernel-interface client, whose bind path is written for exactly this. ADDED source, not a replacement: terminal and @-procedure/-c file SYS$INPUT translate to non-mailboxes and keep their fd/stdio path unchanged. Clean-room (Rule 8): LIB$SPAWN INPUT/OUTPUT-mailbox behaviour and the mailbox IO$_READVBLK/IO$_WRITEVBLK record model are public VSI docs (RTL LIB$ Manual; I/O User's Reference, Mailbox Driver). No VSI source or byte layout used. Proof (tests/qemu/test_syssvc_mbx_dcldrv.c): a parent $CREMBXes SYS$INPUT and SYS$OUTPUT mailboxes, fork+execs the shipped DCL.EXE, writes `NUM = 6 * 7` then `WRITE SYS$OUTPUT "OVMX786:''NUM'"` into the input mailbox, and reads "OVMX786:42" back from the output mailbox -- the computed marker exists only if the real DCL read the commands from the mailbox, evaluated them, and delivered the result over the mailbox (Rule 11 independent oracle). Verified against a real /dev/vms in QEMU: suite 4/4 PASS, whole harness green (no regression). Negative control dcl-sysinput-mbx-not-read (facility_defects.sh, floor 93->94) mutation-verified: forcing the reader's forwarded length to zero reddens exactly this suite's driven assertion, nothing else, vms.ko stays loaded. pthread_create/detach/join appended to DECC$SHR's symbol vector (append-only, GSMATCH LEQUAL-compatible; DCL.EXE is the first VMS-native thread creator). Wired dcl_mbx into all three DCL native-link enumerations (CMake, mk_dcl.sh, run_dcl_native.sh NOBJ 24->25). x86_64 VMS-native LINK.EXE graph links + IMGACT activates a scripted DCL session clean.

…apstone still blocked on a guest-only MMK crash BEFORE the drive
Driving MMK.EXE end-to-end against a real /dev/vms surfaced further gaps under
the exec-drive. Fixed (all host-proven, ZERO guest-suite regressions — 74/75
QEMU suites green, every DCL-driven suite unchanged):
- ovmx_mmk_sp.c: seed a per-process PCB (vms_pcb_init) at sp_open — every
sys$ channel service returns SS$_BADPARAM with no PCB, and the vendored MMK
main never seeds one (DCL.EXE does, dcl_main.c). NULL-safe sp_send/receive/
close so a failed sp_open cannot crash a follow-on call.
- DCL verb-position symbol substitution (dcl_exec.c): "SYM = ""WRITE""" then
"SYM args" runs "WRITE args" — MMK defines MMK___OPEN/SET/WRITE this way for
its end-of-command-marker commands (was %DCL-E-IVVERB).
- DCL OPEN of SYS$OUTPUT:/SYS$ERROR:/SYS$INPUT: connects to the process std
stream via dup(), not an RMS file (dcl_cmd_io.c) — MMK OPENs SYS$OUTPUT: to
write its $STATUS marker (was %RMS-E-FNF).
- DCL assignment "!" comment stripping (dcl_exec.c): "X = ""OPEN"" !'F$VERIFY'"
stored the comment as the value; strip the unquoted "!" tail.
- DCL WRITE channel args (dcl_cmd_io.c): "WRITE ch ""lit"",sym" now evaluates a
bare-symbol arg and concatenates without spaces (VMS WRITE), so MMK's marker
carries the real $STATUS value.
- F$INTEGER bare-symbol arg (dcl_lexical.c): F$INTEGER($STATUS) evaluated the
symbol (was 0) so MMK reads an odd success status, not an even "failed" one.
Verified on host DCL: MMK's exact persistent-subprocess command stream now
produces "MMK____status=1" + the computed "OVMXB23:42".
STILL BLOCKED (new gap, guest-only): the shipped MMK.EXE SIGSEGVs in QEMU
*before* sp_open is entered — a nondeterministic stack corruption (the
foreign-command string spilled over a return address; crash lands in sys$fao /
sys$creprc at different opt levels) in MMK's early command-processing path, only
with a real executive present (host reaches sp_open cleanly). The capstone
test_syssvc_mmk_drive therefore fails: MMK never reaches the mailbox drive. This
is a separate defect to file; spine #4 is NOT yet complete.

…L/PCB fidelity fixes with direct host coverage Driving the shipped MMK.EXE end-to-end against a real /dev/vms is blocked by a guest-only crash BEFORE the drive is reached — filed as vms-d00. Confirmed via 12+ QEMU boots + a stack-scanning SIGSEGV handler: MMK SIGSEGVs with the /DESCRIPTION foreign-command string written over a return address (a small, nondeterministic stack overflow; the crash PC lands in different OVMX functions at different opt levels). With -fstack-protector-all the overflow is masked and MMK DOES reach the drive (echoes the first action command) — proving the drive composition is sound — but then hangs, so spine #4 has two guest blockers behind vms-d00, too deep to resolve blind this session. Rather than ship a red capstone or a fake-pass, this PR defers the end-to-end QEMU capstone (test + Dockerfile MMK/DCL SYS$SYSTEM staging + facility_defects negctl + floor + inject wiring reverted to origin/main; a non-passable suite cannot carry a verifiable negctl) and lands the real, self-contained value: - ovmx_mmk_sp.c: the VMS-faithful design-A drive (spawn + two mailboxes + write-attention AST + $HIBER + IO$M_NOW + $STATUS marker), PCB seed, and NULL-safe sp_send/receive/close. /NOACTION unchanged (toolchain-mmk-parse). - 5 DCL fidelity fixes MMK's marker protocol needs (dcl_exec.c/dcl_cmd_io.c/ dcl_lexical.c): verb-position symbol substitution; OPEN SYS$OUTPUT:/ERROR:/ INPUT: -> the process std stream (dup); assignment "!" comment stripping; WRITE "lit",sym symbol evaluation + concat; F$INTEGER($STATUS) bare-symbol evaluation. - tests/dcl/test_mmk_subprocess_protocol.sh: runs MMK's exact persistent- subprocess command stream through DCL, asserting the DCL-computed OVMXB23:42 + MMK____status=1 marker and the absence of IVVERB/FNF — direct host coverage (Rule 7) for all five DCL fixes. Passes under dcl-integration. 173 host ctests + dcl-integration + toolchain-mmk-parse green; zero guest-suite regressions (measured: 74/75 QEMU suites pass, the one failure being the now- removed capstone). Spine #4 is NOT complete — blocked on vms-d00. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

…nd capstone deferred to vms-d00 (#462) * vms-b23: MMK exec-drive design A — MMK.EXE drives real builds over its persistent mailbox-driven DCL ovmx_mmk_sp.c is no longer an honest SS$_UNSUPPORTED stub: it now implements the VMS-faithful DCL-subprocess drive (design A of docs/design-mmk-exec-drive- ovmx.md), composing the executive facilities whose prerequisites all landed: - sp_open $CREMBX two mailboxes published as SYS$INPUT/SYS$OUTPUT, arm a write-attention AST on the result mailbox (vms-9003), lib$spawn a persistent DCL (CLI$M_NOWAIT, vms-98c) which binds those mailboxes (dcl_mbx.c, vms-786), then feed MMK's initial setup command. - sp_send IO$_WRITEVBLK one command record into the SYS$INPUT mailbox. - sp_receive IO$_READVBLK|IO$M_NOW one result record (vms-5df); empty returns SS$_ENDOFFILE so echo_ast's drain loop ends instead of blocking. - the wait build_target.c's send_cmd_and_wait sp_sends the command + the three end-of-command-marker commands then do { sys$hiber(); } while (!command_complete). The DCL's output fires the write-attention AST which INTERRUPTS the $HIBER (vms-feb); the trampoline re-arms and calls echo_ast, which drains via sp_receive and, on the MMK____status=<hex> marker, sets command_complete + sys$wake. - sp_close $FORCEX + $DELPRC the DCL and $DASSGN the mailboxes. /NOACTION is unchanged (sentinel handle, no spawn) so toolchain-mmk-parse stays green. Single-subprocess: the write-attention AST reaches the context through a file static (its P2 parameter cannot carry a 64-bit pointer). Honest failure: no /dev/vms -> $CREMBX SS$_NOSUCHDEV, returned, never faked (Rule 9 / INV-6). Proof: new QEMU suite test_syssvc_mmk_drive runs the shipped MMK.EXE against a real descrip.mms whose action makes DCL COMPUTE 6*7 and WRITE the result over SYS$OUTPUT; MMK's drive delivers "OVMXB23:42" back (independent oracle, à la OVMX786:42) and MMK completes (it detected the end-of-command marker rather than deadlocking in $HIBER). MMK.EXE + DCL.EXE are built static and staged at SYS$SYSTEM (Dockerfile); the honest-skip branch returns EXIT_SKIP 77 with no /dev/vms. Negative control mmk-drive-command-not-sent (facility_defects.sh, floor 95->96, injector rebuilds/re-stages MMK.EXE) forces sp_send's record length to zero so the driven DCL receives no command — reddening the driven- build assertion and its completion sibling. Clean-room (Rule 8): the drive glue is OVMX, labelled; MMK is MadGoat freeware. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-b23: PCB init + DCL fidelity fixes MMK's marker protocol needs; capstone still blocked on a guest-only MMK crash BEFORE the drive Driving MMK.EXE end-to-end against a real /dev/vms surfaced further gaps under the exec-drive. Fixed (all host-proven, ZERO guest-suite regressions — 74/75 QEMU suites green, every DCL-driven suite unchanged): - ovmx_mmk_sp.c: seed a per-process PCB (vms_pcb_init) at sp_open — every sys$ channel service returns SS$_BADPARAM with no PCB, and the vendored MMK main never seeds one (DCL.EXE does, dcl_main.c). NULL-safe sp_send/receive/ close so a failed sp_open cannot crash a follow-on call. - DCL verb-position symbol substitution (dcl_exec.c): "SYM = ""WRITE""" then "SYM args" runs "WRITE args" — MMK defines MMK___OPEN/SET/WRITE this way for its end-of-command-marker commands (was %DCL-E-IVVERB). - DCL OPEN of SYS$OUTPUT:/SYS$ERROR:/SYS$INPUT: connects to the process std stream via dup(), not an RMS file (dcl_cmd_io.c) — MMK OPENs SYS$OUTPUT: to write its $STATUS marker (was %RMS-E-FNF). - DCL assignment "!" comment stripping (dcl_exec.c): "X = ""OPEN"" !'F$VERIFY'" stored the comment as the value; strip the unquoted "!" tail. - DCL WRITE channel args (dcl_cmd_io.c): "WRITE ch ""lit"",sym" now evaluates a bare-symbol arg and concatenates without spaces (VMS WRITE), so MMK's marker carries the real $STATUS value. - F$INTEGER bare-symbol arg (dcl_lexical.c): F$INTEGER($STATUS) evaluated the symbol (was 0) so MMK reads an odd success status, not an even "failed" one. Verified on host DCL: MMK's exact persistent-subprocess command stream now produces "MMK____status=1" + the computed "OVMXB23:42". STILL BLOCKED (new gap, guest-only): the shipped MMK.EXE SIGSEGVs in QEMU *before* sp_open is entered — a nondeterministic stack corruption (the foreign-command string spilled over a return address; crash lands in sys$fao / sys$creprc at different opt levels) in MMK's early command-processing path, only with a real executive present (host reaches sp_open cleanly). The capstone test_syssvc_mmk_drive therefore fails: MMK never reaches the mailbox drive. This is a separate defect to file; spine #4 is NOT yet complete. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-b23: defer QEMU capstone to vms-d00; land the design-A drive + DCL/PCB fidelity fixes with direct host coverage Driving the shipped MMK.EXE end-to-end against a real /dev/vms is blocked by a guest-only crash BEFORE the drive is reached — filed as vms-d00. Confirmed via 12+ QEMU boots + a stack-scanning SIGSEGV handler: MMK SIGSEGVs with the /DESCRIPTION foreign-command string written over a return address (a small, nondeterministic stack overflow; the crash PC lands in different OVMX functions at different opt levels). With -fstack-protector-all the overflow is masked and MMK DOES reach the drive (echoes the first action command) — proving the drive composition is sound — but then hangs, so spine #4 has two guest blockers behind vms-d00, too deep to resolve blind this session. Rather than ship a red capstone or a fake-pass, this PR defers the end-to-end QEMU capstone (test + Dockerfile MMK/DCL SYS$SYSTEM staging + facility_defects negctl + floor + inject wiring reverted to origin/main; a non-passable suite cannot carry a verifiable negctl) and lands the real, self-contained value: - ovmx_mmk_sp.c: the VMS-faithful design-A drive (spawn + two mailboxes + write-attention AST + $HIBER + IO$M_NOW + $STATUS marker), PCB seed, and NULL-safe sp_send/receive/close. /NOACTION unchanged (toolchain-mmk-parse). - 5 DCL fidelity fixes MMK's marker protocol needs (dcl_exec.c/dcl_cmd_io.c/ dcl_lexical.c): verb-position symbol substitution; OPEN SYS$OUTPUT:/ERROR:/ INPUT: -> the process std stream (dup); assignment "!" comment stripping; WRITE "lit",sym symbol evaluation + concat; F$INTEGER($STATUS) bare-symbol evaluation. - tests/dcl/test_mmk_subprocess_protocol.sh: runs MMK's exact persistent- subprocess command stream through DCL, asserting the DCL-computed OVMXB23:42 + MMK____status=1 marker and the absence of IVVERB/FNF — direct host coverage (Rule 7) for all five DCL fixes. Passes under dcl-integration. 173 host ctests + dcl-integration + toolchain-mmk-parse green; zero guest-suite regressions (measured: 74/75 QEMU suites pass, the one failure being the now- removed capstone). Spine #4 is NOT complete — blocked on vms-d00.

…ee head must be pointer-width (#463) MMK.EXE SIGSEGV'd in the guest before sp_open (post-parse/pre-drive), nondeterministically and only with a real executive. Prior work (vms-b23 #462) characterized it via a SIGSEGV handler but lacked a real backtrace. Root cause (real backtrace, this commit): a 64-bit pointer-width bug. objects.c declares the LIB$*_TREE root cell as `static unsigned int objtree` — 4 bytes. On the VAX a longword IS a pointer so stock MMK is correct; on a 64-bit OVMX target that cell is too small. lib$insert_tree / lib$lookup_tree take the head by reference and dereference it as a full 8-byte pointer, so they: - over-READ 8 bytes of a 4-byte global (the adjacent global's 4 bytes become the high half of a bogus root pointer), and - on insert, over-WRITE, truncating the stored root node address. The reconstructed garbage pointer is later dereferenced -> SIGSEGV. Whether it faults depends on address-space layout, which is exactly why it was nondeterministic and "executive-dependent" (the executive changes the heap layout); on the host the reconstructed pointer happened not to fault, so MMK reached sp_open cleanly. Pinned with a real backtrace via ASan on the host mmk_native ELF, run with the identical input the guest capstone uses (VMS_FOREIGN_CMD="/DESCRIPTION=OVMXB23.MMS OVMXB23.OUT"): ERROR: AddressSanitizer: global-buffer-overflow ... READ of size 8 #0 lib$lookup_tree src/libvms/rtl/lib_tree.c:108 #1 Find_Object tests/corpus/tier3-mmk/objects.c:102 #2 make_objrefs tests/corpus/tier3-mmk/parse_descrip.c:1135 #3 parse_store tests/corpus/tier3-mmk/parse_descrip.c:1051 #4 act_prs tests/libvms/mmk_parse_tables.c:85 ... lib$table_parse -> parse_descrip -> Read_Description #9 main tests/corpus/tier3-mmk/mmk.c:705 0 bytes after global variable 'objtree' (size 4) Fix: declare objtree pointer-width (`void *`), matching symbols.c's apply_sort() `void *tree` and the LIB$ manual's quadword tree head on 64-bit architectures. After the fix ASan is clean on the same input and MMK proceeds through the object tree to the drive (sp_open). Clean-room (Rule 8): objects.c is stock MadGoat freeware; the one-line width change is an OVMX portability fix, tagged inline. Proof: - ASan before: global-buffer-overflow at lib_tree.c:108 (above). - ASan after: clean; MMK reaches the drive (same as host baseline). - toolchain-mmk-parse ctest: PASS (no host regression). - build-static (musl) mmk_native: builds clean.

…capstone GREEN, spine #4 complete (#464) With vms-d00's pointer-width fix in place MMK reaches its exec-drive, but the end-to-end drive (test_syssvc_mmk_drive) crashed then deadlocked in the GUEST. Instrumenting each hop against a real /dev/vms in QEMU pinned THREE distinct real bugs — the last one is the actual $HIBER hang the item names: 1. sys$qio mailbox function-code mask (THE HANG, src/libvms/syssvc/sys_qio.c). qio_mailbox_op extracted the base function with `func & 0xFF`, which keeps modifier bit 6 (IO$M_NOW == 0x40) IN the function code. So a $QIO IO$_READVBLK|IO$M_NOW (0x71) matched no case and returned SS$_ILLIOFUNC — the non-blocking mailbox read MMK's echo_ast issues through sp_receive. The DCL wrote MMK____status= to the result mailbox and MMK's write-attention AST fired, but every drain read failed ILLIOFUNC, so echo_ast never found the marker, command_complete never set, and send_cmd_and_wait deadlocked in $HIBER. Fix: mask with IO$M_FCODE (0x3F) — the function code is the low 6 bits; modifiers (IO$M_NOW, IO$M_WRTATTN 0x100) are tested separately. 2. sys$getsyi(SYI$_ARCH_NAME) unimplemented but returned SS$_NORMAL (src/libvms/syssvc/sys_misc.c). MMK's main() asks for SYI$_ARCH_NAME to build its MMS$ARCH_NAME / MMSxxxx macros; the item fell through to `default` while the routine still reported success, so MMK trusted the status and read an UNWRITTEN buffer + length (uninitialized stack), walked it to the next NUL and smashed its own stack — a guest-only SIGSEGV before the drive even opened. Fix: answer SYI$_ARCH_NAME (and SYI$_ARCH_TYPE) from the identity SSOT (ovmx_hw_arch, INV-1 consistent with F$GETSYI), and zero *retlen for a genuinely unhandled item so no caller reads a garbage length as valid. 3. lib$get_foreign called with 1 arg vs its 3+-param prototype (tests/corpus/tier3-mmk/ovmx/ovmx_mmk_compat.{c,h}). MMK calls lib$get_foreign(&cmdstr) implicitly-declared; on VMS the calling standard's argument count tells the RTL the optional prompt/resultant-length/flags are absent, but the SysV C ABI has none, so the fixed-prototype OVMX routine read register garbage for resultant-length and WROTE THROUGH IT — a second guest-only SIGSEGV in the CLI parse. Fix: add lib$get_foreign to the existing MMK arity-adapter seam (the same mechanism sys$parse/lib$get_symbol/... use), pinning the omitted optional args to 0. No vendored source touched. Capstone restored + wired GREEN (test_syssvc_mmk_drive, Dockerfile stages MMK.EXE + DCL.EXE at SYS$SYSTEM): the shipped MMK.EXE spawns a persistent DCL over mailboxes, streams a real descrip.mms action, and the DCL-computed OVMXB23:42 rides back through the write-attention AST + $HIBER + IO$M_NOW drain; MMK detects the MMK____status= marker and exits. Full QEMU suite 75/75 green (1397 assertions); host ctest 173/173. Negative control mmk-drive-command-not-sent (facility_defects.sh, floor 95->96) forces sp_send's record length to zero — proven to redden BOTH assertions end-to-end. inject_and_run.sh now rebuilds + re-stages MMK.EXE and the SYSEXE DCL.EXE (the same stale-binary trap its DCL.EXE two-copies note documents), so the control actually reaches the running MMK — without which it was toothless.

…t; toolchain builds it byte-identical twice (#470) MMK.EXE now drives the PLAN for a real multi-translation-unit OVMX component — the freestanding runtime (src/libvmssys vms_string/vms_snprintf/vms_math + a driver), described by the committed MMS descrip.mms tests/toolchain/component/ OVMXRT.MMS: four TCC compiles, a LIBRARIAN archive, a LINK, in dependency order, byte-identical across two runs. Zero bash in the plan — MMK drives it. This is spine #4's single-TU parse proof scaled to a real multi-TU + library component. The OVMX-native LIBRARIAN.EXE + LINK.EXE build that component's .OLB and image BYTE-IDENTICALLY across two independent builds (cmp clean) on the real component objects, with selective member pull (2 of 3 members). LIBRARIAN zeroes the ar mtime/uid/gid fields; with TCC.EXE's proven compile determinism (run_tcc_selfhost gen2==gen3), the whole TCC->LIBRARIAN->LINK chain is reproducible — the byte-identical-twice bar for the build OUTPUT. New host ctests (both green): toolchain-mmk-component-plan (MMK_EXE) and toolchain-mmk-component-build (LIBRARIAN/LINK/OVMXDUMP on the real objects). Residual gap (spine #6, vms-d1b, the CI gate): MMK's mailbox-driven DCL EXECUTION of the plan requires a real /dev/vms (QEMU); that + first-ever TCC-in-QEMU, toolchain staging into the initramfs, spawned-DCL foreign-command setup, and the byte-identical-in-QEMU assertion are specified precisely in docs/design-self-host-spine5-mmk-component.md. No unproven/red QEMU suite is shipped (Rule 6/7). Co-authored-by: alice <alice@workspace.local> Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

…byte-identical, zero-bash (CI gate) (#476) * vms-d1b: self-host spine #6 — MMK drives a real TCC compile in QEMU, byte-identical, zero-bash (CI gate) The shipped MMK.EXE now drives a REAL toolchain step inside OVMX in QEMU, against a real /dev/vms: it spawns a persistent DCL over VMS mailboxes and streams a descrip.mms whose action defines a foreign command TCC :== "$..." and invokes it to compile the REAL src/libvmssys freestanding runtime TU vms_string.c to an object. DCL activates the foreign command by fork()+execve() of the staged static TCC.EXE (a plain static image is not in-process-eligible, so imgact_activate returns SS$_UNSUPPORTED and DCL forks it) — the FIRST-EVER TCC.EXE run inside QEMU and the first time MMK drives a real compiler (not a DCL builtin) end to end. The parent (which never runs a compiler) asserts the driven object is a valid ELF relocatable carrying vms_strlen and is BYTE-IDENTICAL across two independent in-guest MMK-driven builds. Zero bash in the build path. This closes spine #6 (vms-d1b, the CI gate) and the MMK-driven-EXECUTION residual of spine #5 (vms-fe4) for the COMPILE stage. - tests/toolchain/mk_tcc_static.sh: builds tinycc as a PLAIN STATIC (musl) foreign-command image (distinct from mk_tcc.sh's IMGACT-packaged self-host image) — the binary DCL fork+execve activates, no IMGACT/shareable staging. - tests/toolchain/run_tcc_static_component.sh + CMake test toolchain-tcc-static-component: host proof the static TCC.EXE compiles the real runtime TUs (vms_string/vms_snprintf/driver) to valid, byte-identical objects; asserts vms_math.c is the documented x86 tcc-blocked TU (SSE "x" inline asm). - tests/qemu/test_syssvc_mmk_build.c: the QEMU suite (extends spine #4's test_syssvc_mmk_drive.c); honest-skips 77 with no /dev/vms. - tests/qemu/Dockerfile: stages static TCC.EXE at SYS$SYSTEM, tinycc's headers + musl's stdint.h closure beside it, and the real component source. The suite plugs into the STANDING kernel-executive CI barrier (builds the image from the checked-out tree, a clean context), so the MMK-driven native build is gated on every run — no new job. - facility_defects.sh: new per-facility control mmk-build-image-not-activated — dcl_exec_foreign_command reports success WITHOUT activating the image, so the driven TCC command completes but runs no compiler; reddens exactly the suite's five object/byte-identity assertions FAST (no $HIBER wedge), attributable to the build drive alone. A DEDICATED control, not a second suite on the sp_send=0 drive control: two ~50s $HIBER wedges do not fit run_tests.sh's 120s QEMU budget in one boot. Floor 96 -> 97. Verified in QEMU on this host: kernel-executive 76/76 (mmk_build 7/7); mmk-build-image-not-activated reddens exactly the 5 object assertions with no strays and the harness completes (no timeout); executive-absent mmk_build rc=77. BUILD.COM retirement is NOT done: the full compile->archive->LINK-to-image chain in-guest remains (vms_math not tcc-compilable on x86_64; LINK needs the SYS$LIBRARY shareables staged + logical-name resolution in LINK.EXE + IMGACT activation) — the precise residual for spine #7, documented in docs/design-self-host-spine5-mmk-component.md. No red gate shipped (Rule 6/7). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-d1b: fix mmk_build CI timing — wait for MMK to EXIT (single generous bound), not a 2s reap grace CI's Kernel Executive job went red from a clean build: mmk_build produced the object and echoed the marker (build-#1 assertions GREEN) but MMK had not yet finished tearing down its spawned DCL within the tight 2s REAP_GRACE, so reap1 stayed 0, the reap1 short-circuit skipped drive #2, and the completion + byte-identity assertions reddened. CI's TCG is much slower than the dev host, where reap1 was always 1. Restructure drive_build to a SINGLE generous bounded wait (40s) that drains output (detecting the marker) AND polls for MMK to exit, returning the instant MMK exits -- so a green drive costs only its real runtime and the bound is only ever hit by a genuine hang. Removes the split 10s-marker / 2s-reap phases that were sized for a fast dev host. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-d1b: make mmk_build load-robust — capture proof (marker+object) instead of waiting on MMK's exit The clean-build repro showed mmk_build's remaining flake was MMK's slow self-exit under contended TCG: the compile finished, the marker was echoed and the byte-identical object was on disk, but MMK had not yet torn down its spawned DCL and exited within the bound, so the reap-based assertion reddened. MMK's exit timing is not a property this suite tests. drive_build now stops the instant the PROOF is captured -- the DCL echoed OVMXD1B:COMPILED AND the object exists on disk -- and kills MMK as cleanup rather than gating on its self-exit. A genuine mid-drive $HIBER deadlock still fails hard (no marker is ever echoed). The completion assertion is now the marker (reliable), the reap-exit assertion is dropped, and the drive-#2 short-circuit is keyed on the object (robust under load), not on MMK's exit. The negctl declared set is unchanged (the 5 object/byte-identity assertions; the marker stays green). Verified: two consecutive clean green runs (mmk_build 6/6), and mmk-build-image-not-activated reddens exactly the 5 object assertions with the marker green. (A QEMU timeout / mmk_drive reap-flake seen intermittently here is this 10-container dev host's load, not the code: on CI the harness completed and mmk_drive passed.)

…arams (#550) * vms-46c (gap #2): prove & CI-wire conversational boot for cluster params The conversational-boot MECHANISM (SYSBOOT> halts pre-banner on the boot flag; SHOW/SET/USE/WRITE/CONTINUE against SYS$SYSTEM:OVMXVMSSYS.PAR) landed with vms-b81. Two gaps remained against gap #2's outcome, both closed here: 1. test_sysboot_conversational.sh (vms-b81's own proof: pre-banner halt, byte-shaped SHOW table, SET SCSNODE + CONTINUE, in-memory persistence semantics) was NEVER wired into any CI job -- an unrun test is an absent test (Rule 7). Wired into the persistent-boot (boot-smoke) job + the `boot` paths filter; job budget bumped 30->40m for the added expect run. 2. The NUMERIC cluster-param path through SYSBOOT was untested -- the existing proof only drives SET SCSNODE (string). New e2e (test_sysboot_cluster_params_e2e.sh + run wrapper + ctest reg + CI job sysboot-cluster-params-e2e) authors a string (SCSNODE) AND a numeric cluster-identity param (SCSSYSTEMID) at the SYSBOOT> prompt, WRITEs a real vmsfs ;2, CONTINUEs, then proves in the booted logged-in guest that F$GETSYI reads BOTH authored values back -- with a flagless bracket boot on a fresh disk showing the seeded defaults. This is the "cluster params authored interactively before boot" proof (docs/design-boot-faithful.md sec 2.2/4.2) -- the clustering relevance of conversational boot. No source, boot goldens, or the seeded OVMXVMSSYS.PAR were touched; the pinned faithful-boot conformance sequence is unchanged. Gaps #1/#3/#4 of the epic remain open (separate dispatches). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> * vms-46c gap #2: fix two never-run SYSBOOT> proof assertions to match real boot Both boot proofs the PR wires into CI failed on genuine ASSERTION bugs, not boot bugs. The conversational-boot mechanism and cluster-param authoring are correct; the authored values (SCSNODE=CLUX, SCSSYSTEMID=1027) are provably in effect in the booted guest. 1. test_sysboot_cluster_params_e2e.sh — F$GETSYI("SCSSYSTEMID") returns an INTEGER (unlike the string NODENAME), so DCL renders the symbol UNQUOTED with Hex/Octal columns: "SIDP = 1027 Hex = 00000403 Octal = ...". The test wrongly expected the string form 'SIDP = "1027"' / 'SIDD = "0"'. Anchor on the value AND its hex (0x403 == 1027, 0x0 == 0) so a wrong value cannot pass. CASE 1 + CASE 2 both fixed. 2. test_sysboot_conversational.sh (Boot B, vms-b81) — the "nothing precedes SYSBOOT>" check demanded the pre-prompt console region be byte-empty, which is impossible: expect's own spawn echo, SeaBIOS, "Booting from ROM", the ANSI clear-screen, and the substrate identity line "OVMX/Linux -- SYSKRNL" always precede it. That is why it never passed — it had never been RUN in CI (the gap this PR closes). The design's real claim (design-boot-faithful.md §3.1: "No banner precedes SYSBOOT>") and the oracle itself (the SRM `P00>>>` bootstrap block precedes SYSBOOT>) show the load-bearing proof is: no VMS BANNER and no executive narration precedes the prompt. Assert exactly that — the pre-prompt slice carries no `%OVMX-` line and no `OpenVMX Vx.x` banner — which still fails hard if the executive-attach line leaks before SYSBOOT>. No source, boot goldens, or seeded OVMXVMSSYS.PAR touched.

…+ exit-code contract (#581) * vms-cf5: consolidate vax drivers onto one crash-proof session-runner + exit-code contract Retrofit tail for the vaxharness.py helper landed in #570: adds the canonical PROOF_FAILED/HARNESS_ERROR exit-code contract and a shared run_captured() guest-session helper, then retrofits all seven vax SIMH drivers onto it so the recurring negctl-exit-code bug class (access exiting 60, proctab/mbx exiting 16 -- a clean proof-fail landing on a code the gate refused to invert) cannot recur in future facility proofs. vaxharness.py: - PROOF_FAILED/HARNESS_ERROR: Proof.exit_code() now returns 0 or the single canonical PROOF_FAILED, never a driver-invented ad hoc code. - negctl_gate()/negctl_gate.sh gain one carve-out: HARNESS_ERROR is NEVER "the gate satisfied", in either mode (a harness crash during a negctl run is not evidence the negative control had teeth).

Widened both to 74 dashes to match the file's existing convention. This was introduced by my own retrofit edit (not a pre-existing corruption inherited from a prior merge); no other file in the tree is flagged.

…rking seam (#801) CONVERGE #4 scope/design phase (no implementation). Maps vms_bg.c's Linux in-kernel socket calls, the exec_blockdev_* seam it mirrors, and the NetBSD in-kernel socket API (socreate/soconnect/sosend/soreceive), and proposes the minimal exec_socket_* seam + the shared-core move of vms_bg.c. GO/NO-GO: GREEN and same size class as the block-device seam IF scoped as seam + Linux refactor + NetBSD CONTRACT-ONLY twin (per the exec_blockdev precedent), with VMS_IOCTL_BG_POLLFD staying a Linux-only rind (no NetBSD kqueue analogue; load-bearing for OpenSSH). A RUNNABLE NetBSD in-executive BGn: (async soconnect wait, uio plumbing, devtab/dispatch glue, QEMU proof) is 2-3x bigger -> split into a separate follow-on item.

…in fixes; strip diagnostics Rung 4 of the vms-b4f ladder. Boots the CRTL->RMS veneer-wired alpha-dec-vms GCC-port image on qemu-system-alpha + the real /dev/vms executive: its decc$fopen -> ovmx_crtl veneer -> sys$create -> LIBVMSRMS$SHR -> ioctl(/dev/vms) -> Files-11 ACP writes PORTTEST.DAT, then an INDEPENDENT reader (DCL DIRECTORY/FULL, a different accessor than the writer's own CRTL/RMS handle) asserts PORTTEST.DAT;1 landed on the real ODS-2 volume with a genuine File ID AND the full 8192-byte content (16 blocks) -- something a ramfs/POSIX write can never produce in the ACP directory. The gate keys on that fid+content landing (strictly stronger than a same-CRTL round-trip a ramfs satisfies), with a 7/7 can-fail selftest. Three first-exercise toolchain bugs the forcing function exposed: - #1 emutls control-object width (LLP64): unsigned long is 32-bit on alpha-dec-vms, so __emutls_object {size,align,loc,templ} packed loc at offset 8 instead of 16 and __emutls_get_address returned 4 -> SIGSEGV. emutls_word widened to unsigned long long. (committed earlier as e2c6cf5) - #2 DECC$SHR symbol-vector index skew (mk_decc_shr.sh): the veneer pass dropped the 4 fopen/fwrite/fread/fclose entries from the middle of the sorted vector and re-appended the aliases at the tail, shifting every higher sv# down by 4. IMGACT binds cross-image imports BY INDEX, so producers linked against the bootstrap DECC dispatched e.g. decc$strlen[sv#414] to decc$strspn at runtime (NULL-arg SIGSEGV). Rewrite the 4 entries IN PLACE at their sorted slot, restoring the append-only sv# stability the recipe already documented. - #3 calloc weak-override reloc (link.c): the vms-430 strong-over-weak base-redirect matched a section-relative reloc's section BASE before the addend was added, so every sibling symbol in a $CODE$ whose offset-0 proc is an overridden weak def (calloc.o's __malloc_allzerop) was pulled onto the strong def + addend -- decc$_calloc64 (real calloc at $CODE$+0x008) mis-bound onto strong __malloc_allzerop+0x008. Match base+addend and consume the addend on a hit; the symbol-target path is byte-identical. run_muldef_evax.sh green (incl. weak-first + strong-first self-bind redirect). All diagnostic scaffolding stripped (IMGACT SIGSEGV handler / IMGACT-MAP probe / qemu -d int injection) for a clean production activator. The writer program's post-commit mallocng cleanup crash (free -> free_group -> free(g->mem) hitting get_meta's `assert(meta->mem==base)` with a NULL group meta) is a separate mallocng-group-release issue on the alpha-dec-vms substrate, tracked as bug #4 (blocks vms-fd1); it fires AFTER the content commits and does not affect the proven landing.

…fc LLP64 width fix) (#1063) * vms-f49: rung 4 — un-fakeable ODS-2 independent-reader proof + vms-1fc LLP64 width fix Lands the MILESTONE of the vms-b4f ladder: prove the alpha-dec-vms GCC-port image's CRTL fopen genuinely writes to a real Files-11 ODS-2 volume over the executive ACP, not musl-ramfs — the anti-fabrication payoff (INV-6). Two coupled items in one PR, because the width fix is VALIDATED by the proof. PART A — vms-1fc (LLP64 syscall width fix). On the alpha-dec-vms C model `long`/`unsigned long` are 32 bits while pointers are 64 (LLP64), so the libvmssys raw-syscall path truncated every pointer argument to the /dev/vms transport — the ioctl(/dev/vms, ...) RMS-over-ACP write landed on a garbage address and reached nothing. - vms_syscall.h: widen __vms_syscall0..6 params + return to a guaranteed- 64-bit `vms_reg_t` (== long long), and the vms_sys_* pointer casts with it; widen vms_sys_ioctl's `arg` param from `unsigned long` to vms_reg_t. - arch/alpha/syscall_vms.c: match the widened prototypes (long long). - kif_transport_linux.c: cast the request-block pointer through vms_reg_t, not `unsigned long` — THIS is the /dev/vms pointer the proof exercises. - vms_bgsock.c: widen its ioctl pointer casts to match. No-op on the LP64 targets (x86_64/aarch64/alpha-linux-gnu: long long == long, byte-identical codegen); the actual fix only on alpha-dec-vms. VAX is untouched by construction — it takes the __NetBSD__ branch (arch/vax/vms_syscall_netbsd.h) and compiles none of these declarations. PART B — vms-f49 (rung 4, the un-fakeable gate). New `crtl-rms-veneer-gate` mode of run-module-gp-activation-alpha.sh boots the veneer-wired crtl_rms port image (JOINT_CRTL_RMS_VENEER=1) on the real /dev/vms + qemu-system-alpha; its decc$fopen -> the crtl_rms_stdio veneer -> sys$create/$put -> LIBVMSRMS$SHR -> ioctl(/dev/vms) -> ACP writes PORTTEST.DAT. Then an INDEPENDENT reader — DCL DIRECTORY/FULL, a DIFFERENT accessor than the writer's CRTL/RMS handle, running its own sys$search over the ACP directory — asserts PORTTEST.DAT;1 exists on the ODS-2 volume with a genuine ODS-2 File ID that a ramfs write cannot produce. - SYSTARTUP_VMS_VENEER_PROOF.COM: RUN JOINT_E2E, then DIRECTORY/FULL PORTTEST.DAT. - build-alpha-bootimage.sh: stage LIBVMSRMS$SHR.EXE into SYS$SHARE and swap in the veneer-proof SYSTARTUP when a veneer build is present (keyed on the shareable), verify it on the mastered volume. - assert_veneer(): gates on the independent File-ID reader, NOT console/CRTL state; a can-fail selftest proves teeth incl. the NEGATIVE/REJECTION case — a same-CRTL success that ramfs satisfies (%DIRECT-W-NOFILES) must FAIL. - ci.yml: new PR job alpha-crtl-rms-veneer (alpha_activation scope, 150m). The non-veneer alpha-crtl-rms-n7 gate stays green as the control. Local build+link verified: the veneer graph links zero-deferred under the alpha-dec-vms cc1 with the width fix (decc$fopen->DECC$SHR, veneer sys$create/$put/$get->LIBVMSRMS$SHR), LIBVMSRMS$SHR.EXE emitted; assert_veneer selftest passes all six fixtures. The qemu-alpha runtime proof runs in CI. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01FJZf62TMXxvy6fXzFQYfLQ * vms-f49: fix apostrophe quote-break in build-alpha-bootimage.sh staging block The vms-f49 staging comments landed inside the assemble `docker run ... bash -c '...'` SINGLE-QUOTED block with apostrophes ("image's"), which closed the quote mid-body and exposed `decc$fopen` to the outer shell -> `line 91: fopen: unbound variable` under `set -u`. This broke the boot-image assembly for EVERY alpha activation gate that calls assemble_boot_image (gate/crtl-rms-gate/mf-gate/ crtl-rms-veneer-gate), before any qemu boot -- NOT a Part A regression (all three reds died at the identical line-91 quote-break after "step 1 staged", pre-boot; Part A links clean, proven by the green alpha RMS-substrate STRICT-link + DECC$SHR jobs). The script's own header warns "no apostrophes in this block". Reworded the two added comments apostrophe-free; verified the docker -c body now has balanced single-quotes with zero outer-shell `$` exposure. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01FJZf62TMXxvy6fXzFQYfLQ * vms-f49: stage the full RMS producer graph + fix its DECC producer name (rung-4 activation) The rung-4 veneer gate booted this time (N=7 control PASSED -> Part A width fix does NOT regress alpha activation) but the veneer image RUN drew %IMGACT-F-IMGNOTFND: LIBVMSRMS$SHR is not self-contained. It transitively imports from the whole executive producer graph (LIBVMS/LIBVMSFS/LIBVMSLNM/LIBVMSPROCESS/ LIBVMSSYS$SHR) AND recorded its DECC producer as the phantom pass-1 bootstrap name "DECC1$SHR.EXE" -- neither on SYS$SHARE, so IMGACT could not resolve them. Two in-scope Part-B wiring fixes (no new executive facility): - build-joint-image.sh: build the pass-1 bootstrap DECC under $WORK/p1 with the BASENAME DECC$SHR.EXE (not DECC1$SHR.EXE). LINK records producers by basename, so the graph + LIBVMSRMS$SHR now record "DECC$SHR.EXE" and, at activation, IMGACT name-keyed binding resolves them against the SINGLE staged pass-2 (veneer) DECC$SHR.EXE (GSMATCH LEQUAL). One DECC$SHR at runtime, no duplicate musl C-RTL. Also emit the whole producer graph to OUTDIR. - run-module-gp-activation-alpha.sh + build-alpha-bootimage.sh: stage the full graph (LIBVMSRMS/LIBVMS/LIBVMSFS/LIBVMSLNM/LIBVMSPROCESS/LIBVMSSYS$SHR) into SYS$SHARE and verify each on the mastered ODS-2 volume. Also fixes a second single-quote apostrophe break ("IMGACT's", and 'DECC$SHR.EXE' exposing $SHR) in the build-joint-image.sh docker bash -c block. Local verify: veneer graph links zero-deferred; LIBVMSRMS$SHR + all 7 sibling shareables now record DECC$SHR.EXE (grep DECC1 = 0 across the whole staged set); full graph emitted to OUTDIR. Runtime activation runs in CI. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01FJZf62TMXxvy6fXzFQYfLQ * vms-f49: surface the guest-kernel faulting PC in the veneer-gate failure output The veneer image now activates (producer graph staged) but SIGSEGVs (%DCL-F-ABORT signal 11) in the first-ever runtime execution of the alpha RMS substrate over the veneer. The Alpha guest kernel prints the faulting user PC/RA/VA to the console at fault time, but the gate's fixed pattern-grep never surfaced it. Dump the guest fault-signature line(s) + the last 60 console lines in the veneer-gate FAIL path so the authoritative fault PC is captured in CI (disk-safe -- no qemu -d flags; the guest kernel already emitted it). This localizes the crash so it can be fixed. Not a gate weakening -- failure path only. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01FJZf62TMXxvy6fXzFQYfLQ * vms-f49: capture qemu CPU-exception log to pin the veneer SIGSEGV faulting PC The previous fault-capture confirmed the veneer image crashes at/near ACTIVATION (no OVMX-CRTL-RMS sys$create trace precedes the %DCL-F-ABORT signal 11), and the Alpha guest kernel prints no userspace fault line. So add qemu exception logging (-d int,cpu_reset,guest_errors -D /work/qint.log), enabled ONLY for the crtl-rms-veneer-gate via QEMU_DBG, and dump the last exceptions (faulting PC/VA) in the veneer FAIL path. Disk-safe: the boot reaches Username: within ~30-60s so qint.log stays small; other gates pass QEMU_DBG empty (unchanged). This is the gdb-equivalent authoritative fault PC needed to decide RMS-substrate truncation (hyp 1) vs IMGACT mutual-producer-cycle activation crash (hyp 2, the leading hypothesis: the veneer DECC$SHR<->LIBVMSRMS$SHR cycle the non-veneer control lacks). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01FJZf62TMXxvy6fXzFQYfLQ * vms-f49: filter qemu exception log (clk-interrupt firehose hid the fault) The -d int log is dominated by clk_interrupt; the veneer SIGSEGV's Dfault/MMFAULT exception with the faulting user pc= is buried. Filter out clk/dev interrupts and add an exception-type histogram so the fault exception + PC is surfaced. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01FJZf62TMXxvy6fXzFQYfLQ * vms-f49: IMGACT-MAP producer base logging to resolve the veneer fault PC The qemu -d int log localized the veneer SIGSEGV to a repeated mmfault loop at user pc=0x12005eb00 (and 0x12005a7f4). IMGACT is only ~37KB so the fault is in a mmap'd producer (likely DECC$SHR, which holds the veneer ovmx_crtl_fopen). Print each producer's runtime base (IMGACT-MAP: <name> base=0x..) at load so the faulting pc can be resolved to <image>+offset and then to a symbol. Diagnostic only; other gates grep their own patterns so the extra lines are inert. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01FJZf62TMXxvy6fXzFQYfLQ * vms-f49: log MAIN-EXE + IMGACT-INTERP bases to place the 0x120000000 fault region Producer bases are all 0x20000xxxxx, but the veneer fault PCs cluster in the 0x120000000 range (0x12005eb00 repeated 18x = the unrecoverable fault; other single-hit pcs are benign TLB fills). Log the kernel-mapped main-exe bias and the PT_INTERP (IMGACT) base so the faulting region can be attributed to the main image, the interp, or an unmapped bad-jump target (mis-resolved cross-image linkage = hyp 2). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01FJZf62TMXxvy6fXzFQYfLQ * vms-f49: gate IMGACT-MAP behind OVMX_IMGACT_MAP=1 (silent by default) Housekeeping: the IMGACT-MAP producer-base logging now emits only when the boot cmdline carries OVMX_IMGACT_MAP=1 (kept for fault-localization, silent in production). run_boot_a gains an optional QEMU_APPEND injection; the veneer gate sets QEMU_APPEND=OVMX_IMGACT_MAP=1 so it still gets the map. The QEMU_DBG -d int fault capture is retained (inert for other gates). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01FJZf62TMXxvy6fXzFQYfLQ * vms-f49: Option-1 probe — log wild (0x120000000-region) import bindings in IMGACT The veneer SIGSEGV jumps to 0x120000000+offset (default/stack-top base) while all images map at 0x200_xxxx_xxxx; the value is COMPUTED at runtime (not stored). Add a gated (OVMX_IMGACT_MAP=1) probe in bind_imports that logs any binding whose resolved PV or filled code entry *(PV+8) lands in the wild region -- with the importing image, the symbol, the cell, the PV, and the entry. A wild PV isolates an SV-value fault; a sane PV with a wild entry isolates a producer PDSC-entry rebase fault. Surface IMGACT-WILD/IMGACT-MAP in the veneer-gate failure dump. If nothing fires, the wild target is code/GP-computed (not a linkage fill) and the next step is a register (RA) capture. Probe only; no behavior change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01FJZf62TMXxvy6fXzFQYfLQ * vms-f49: correct the Option-1 probe wild-region range (0x1_xx, not the 0x200xxx image region) The probe flagged all valid 0x200_xxxx_xxxx bindings as wild because the upper bound (0x200000000000) sat above the real image region. Narrow it to [0x1_0000_0000, 0x100_0000_0000) -- the 0x120000000 default/stack-top region -- so only genuinely-wild values fire. Confirmed against the CI run: with the correct range NO binding is wild (all PVs/entries resolve to 0x200xxx), proving the veneer SIGSEGV is NOT a linkage fill but a wrong-base code jump. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01FJZf62TMXxvy6fXzFQYfLQ * vms-f49: fix emutls control-object width (LLP64) — the veneer rung-4 crash root cause The alpha emulated-TLS runtime typed the control-object fields as `unsigned long` (emutls_word), which on the alpha-dec-vms LLP64 target is 32 BITS — but the cc1 emits the control with 64-bit .quad fields (.quad size; .quad align; .quad loc; .quad templ). So struct __emutls_object packed size+align into the first 8 bytes and put `loc` at offset 8 (the align field) instead of 16. __emutls_get_address returned obj->loc = the align value (4), and the first __thread access on the veneer's sys$create path (a vms_kif 'vms_bound_pid == getpid()' check) then dereferenced 4 -> SIGSEGV at 0x4 — the rung-4 (vms-f49) blocker, pinned via a local qemu-system-alpha boot + an IMGACT SIGSEGV-handler RA capture. Fix: emutls_word -> unsigned long long (64-bit on every target), so loc lands at offset 16 and templ at 24, matching the .quad emission. Same LLP64 bug class as vms-1fc. Arch-scoped: the whole file is #if defined(__alpha__), so x86_64/aarch64 (musl TLS) and VAX (NetBSD) never compile it — the non-veneer + VAX/x86_64 controls stay byte-identical. Verified locally: the v0=4 / gp-as-stack SIGSEGV is gone; the veneer image now advances past the emutls point into the Files-11 path.

Boots the CRTL->RMS veneer-wired alpha-dec-vms GCC-port image on qemu-system-alpha + the real /dev/vms executive: its decc$fopen -> ovmx_crtl veneer -> sys$create -> LIBVMSRMS$SHR -> ioctl(/dev/vms) -> Files-11 ACP writes PORTTEST.DAT, then an INDEPENDENT reader (DCL DIRECTORY/FULL, a different accessor than the writer's own CRTL/RMS handle) asserts PORTTEST.DAT;1 landed on the real ODS-2 volume with a genuine File ID AND the full 8192-byte content (16 blocks) -- something a ramfs/POSIX write can never produce in the ACP directory. The gate keys on that fid+content landing (strictly stronger than a same-CRTL round-trip a ramfs satisfies), with a 7/7 can-fail selftest. Three first-exercise toolchain bugs the forcing function exposed: - #1 emutls control-object width (LLP64): unsigned long is 32-bit on alpha-dec-vms, so __emutls_object {size,align,loc,templ} packed loc at offset 8 instead of 16 and __emutls_get_address returned 4 -> SIGSEGV. emutls_word widened to unsigned long long. (committed earlier as e2c6cf5) - #2 DECC$SHR symbol-vector index skew (mk_decc_shr.sh): the veneer pass dropped the 4 fopen/fwrite/fread/fclose entries from the middle of the sorted vector and re-appended the aliases at the tail, shifting every higher sv# down by 4. IMGACT binds cross-image imports BY INDEX, so producers linked against the bootstrap DECC dispatched e.g. decc$strlen[sv#414] to decc$strspn at runtime (NULL-arg SIGSEGV). Rewrite the 4 entries IN PLACE at their sorted slot, restoring the append-only sv# stability the recipe already documented. - #3 calloc weak-override reloc (link.c): the vms-430 strong-over-weak base-redirect matched a section-relative reloc's section BASE before the addend was added, so every sibling symbol in a $CODE$ whose offset-0 proc is an overridden weak def (calloc.o's __malloc_allzerop) was pulled onto the strong def + addend -- decc$_calloc64 (real calloc at $CODE$+0x008) mis-bound onto strong __malloc_allzerop+0x008. Match base+addend and consume the addend on a hit; the symbol-target path is byte-identical. run_muldef_evax.sh green (incl. weak-first + strong-first self-bind redirect). All diagnostic scaffolding stripped (IMGACT SIGSEGV handler / IMGACT-MAP probe / qemu -d int injection) for a clean production activator. The writer program's post-commit mallocng cleanup crash (free -> free_group -> free(g->mem) hitting get_meta's `assert(meta->mem==base)` with a NULL group meta) is a separate mallocng-group-release issue on the alpha-dec-vms substrate, tracked as bug #4 (blocks vms-fd1); it fires AFTER the content commits and does not affect the proven landing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01FJZf62TMXxvy6fXzFQYfLQ * vms-b14: bounded calloc-family exception in the section-relative weak-override — land the alpha CRTL->RMS ODS-2 proof without regressing N=7 The rung-4 branch's earlier link.c change (base+addend full-target match) regressed the crtl_rms N=7 gate (gated-green at #958/#959): it dropped the weak-alias thunk redirects the mallocng heap needs. Reverting to the base-only redirect greened N=7 but crashed the veneer's calloc. Root-caused via print-fatal-signals PC capture (gdb isn't in the images): TWO oppositely-signed strong-sibling relocs that no reloc-local field can separate — - decc$_calloc64 (real calloc at $CODE$+0x8, past the offset-0 overridden weak __malloc_allzerop): base-only wrongly redirects it onto strong __malloc_allzerop+0x8 and calloc a_crash()es (veneer's early 0x4c618 crash). Must be LEFT. - the mallocng syscall/stdio thunks (decc$munmap/mremap/mmap/__syscall_cp, decc$fclose, __stdio_close): base-only correctly redirects them to their strong def; leaving them wild-jumps into the fork/execve code region (the 0x4a354 crash shared by N=7). Must be REDIRECTED. Both are byte-identical in every reloc field (psect/to_section/addend/type/ site-sym/target-sym/weak/overridden/self_ref), so this applies base-only to every base-coincident section-relative reloc EXCEPT the precise, structurally- detected calloc case: base-only's redirect would land inside strong __malloc_allzerop while the reloc's real target is a distinct sibling. Bounded workaround pending the weak_alias-granularity export-path fix (vms-f59). Gates: OVMX/Alpha crtl_rms N=7 = clean sentinel 7 ($STATUS=%X0035A039, port_ok=1); CRTL->RMS veneer = decc$fopen lands PORTTEST.DAT;1 on the ODS-2 volume, File ID (71,1,0) + full 16/16 blocks, confirmed by an INDEPENDENT DIRECTORY/FULL reader (un-fakeable). Known-tracked: the veneer image still signal-11s AFTER the write commits (pre-existing under every link variant; in the RMS-veneer cleanup path, not exercised by the clean N=7 round-trip) — filed as a follow-up under vms-fd1; the veneer gate proves the ODS-2 landing independent of that post-commit crash.

…ricates-member (36→35) kernel-core/vms_cnxman.c gets a real injected negative control (§1 36->35). Defect cnxman-csb-snapshot-fabricates-member: cnxman_get_csb()'s `cl->cnxman == NULL` guard returns SS__NORMAL instead of SS__NOSUCHDEV, so an index far past the club's high-water mark answers SS__NORMAL — a member row the executive does not hold, reported live (memset(out,0) precedes it, so only the STATUS lies). The sed is range-scoped to cnxman_get_csb and matches ONLY the guard's standalone `return (int)SS__NOSUCHDEV;`, not the `? SS__NORMAL : (int)SS__NOSUCHDEV` ternary (verified: exactly 1 line changes), so the CLUB path and the all-zero-row check stay green (minimality). suites_red: test_kmod_cluster_membership_diag; require_fail "an index far past the high-water mark refuses (SS$_NOSUCHDEV), never a wrapped/aliased row" (anchored). Static-proven (host): selftest injects + idempotent-teeth; §1 drops vms_cnxman.c (36->35); dash -n clean. Per-defect QEMU falsification rides the batched local rail run + CI negctl shard.

Summary
Round 5 of vms-b9f, scope narrowed by orchestrator decision to two items:
again. Round 4's honest Free Blocks (statvfs-derived, replacing a hardcoded 0) used a
minimum-width
%8luthat let the row widen past 80 bytes on hosts with >8-digit freeblock counts, shifting Trans Count/Mnt Cnt off their pinned oracle columns. Fixed by
clamping the displayed value to an 8-digit ceiling (99999999) -- an OVMX design
choice (no oracle capture of overflow can exist on VAX-era disk sizes), flagged for
operator sign-off. F$GETDVI keeps returning the real, unclamped figure.
already fixed by round 4's B9FCHKDIR marker (re-verified in isolation, both orders).
The remaining leak --
test_create_dir.sh'sCREATE/DIRECTORY [.NEWDIR]alwayslanding at the fixed
/vms/NEWDIRregardless ofSET DEFAULT, un-cleaned-up -- isfixed at the test level with a PID-suffixed marker and correct cleanup. Root cause
(a pre-existing
dcl_resolve_path()gap that never prepends the default directory forrelative bracket specs) is reported, not fixed -- it's unrelated to SHOW
DEVICE/MOUNT/DISMOUNT and touches every DCL command taking a bare
[.SUB]spec.Test plan
