feat(scribe): Implement Scribe Editor Save & Stabilize VirtIO-Block
...
- hal/virtio_block: Implemented global bounce buffers and Used Ring Polling for stable, synchronous I/O.
- core/fs/sfs: Implemented sfs_write_file to handle SFS file creation and data writing.
- core/ion: Added CMD_FS_WRITE syscall definition.
- core/kernel: Added CMD_FS_WRITE syscall handler and fs/sfs integration.
- npl/nipbox: Added nexus_file_write wrapper and updated Scribe (ed) to use it for saving files.

feat(sfs): Implemented Sovereign Filesystem (SFS)
...
- Implemented SFS Driver (core/fs/sfs.nim):
- Mount logic (Sector 0 Superblock check).
- List logic (Sector 1 Directory table).
- Implemented Userland Formatter (nipbox.nim):
- 'mkfs' command to write SFS1 Superblock.
- Fixed 'virtio_block' logic:
- Corrected Descriptor flags (VRING_DESC_F_WRITE for Read Buffers).
- Fixed Async/Sync Conflict in 'libc_shim':
- Added 'nexus_yield()' to block syscalls to prevent stack corruption before kernel processing.
- Integrated SFS into Kernel startup.

feat(rumpk): Sovereign Ledger - VirtIO Block Driver & Persistence
...
- Implemented 'virtio-block' driver (hal/virtio_block.zig) for raw sector I/O.
- Updated 'virtio_pci.zig' with dynamic I/O port allocation to resolve PCI conflicts.
- Integrated Block I/O commands (0x600/0x601) into Kernel and ION.
- Added 'dd' command to NipBox for testing read/write operations.
- Fixed input buffering bug in NipBox to support longer commands.
- Added documentation for Phase 10.

feat(rumpk): Phase 8 - The Summoning (ELF Loader) - 95% Complete
...
## Major Features
### 1. Dynamic ELF64 Binary Loading
- Implemented ELF parser with full header validation (core/loader/elf.nim)
- Created kexec() loader supporting PT_LOAD segment mapping
- Added BSS initialization and data copying from VFS
- Assembly trampoline (rumpk_enter_userland) for userland entry
### 2. Syscall Infrastructure
- Added CMD_SYS_EXEC (0x400) for consciousness swapping
- Integrated exec command in NipBox shell
- Implemented syscall routing through command ring
- Added provenance tracking via SipHash
### 3. Test Binary & Build System
- Created hello.c test program for alien binary execution
- Automated compilation and initrd inclusion in build.sh
- Added libnexus.h header for standalone C programs
### 4. VFS Integration
- Implemented TarFS file cursor system for sequential reads
- Fixed infinite loop bug in cat command
- Added debug logging for VFS mount process
## Technical Improvements
### Memory Management
- Fixed input ring null pointer dereference
- Implemented CMD_ION_FREE syscall for packet reclamation
- Resolved memory leak in input/output pipeline
- Added FileHandle with persistent offset tracking
### ABI Stability
- Split kprint into 1-arg (Nim) and kwrite (C ABI)
- Fixed cstring conversion warnings across codebase
- Corrected RISC-V assembly (csrw sie, zero)
### Documentation
- Comprehensive Phase 8 documentation (docs/PHASE-8-ELF-LOADER.md)
- Detailed implementation notes and debugging status
## Current Status
✅ ELF parser, loader, and syscall infrastructure complete
✅ Test binary compiles and embeds in VFS
✅ Shell integration functional
🔧 Debugging command ring communication (syscall not reaching kernel)
## Files Changed
Core:
- core/loader.nim, core/loader/elf.nim (NEW)
- core/kernel.nim, core/ion.nim (syscall handling)
- core/fs/tar.nim (file cursor system)
- hal/arch/riscv64/switch.S (userland trampoline)
Userland:
- npl/nipbox/nipbox.nim (exec command)
- libs/membrane/libc_shim.zig (syscall implementation)
- libs/membrane/ion.zig (command ring API)
Build & Test:
- build.sh (hello.c compilation)
- rootfs/src/hello.c, rootfs/src/libnexus.h (NEW)
- apps/subject_entry.S (NEW)
## Next Steps
1. Debug SysTable and command ring communication
2. Verify ION fiber polling of chan_cmd
3. Test full ELF loading and execution flow
4. Add memory protection (future phase)
