Pack architecture — growing the fourth kernel inside-out from local, sealed packs

NameDescription

The fourth kernel (the Form-emitted native CLI) grows self-contained from concentric shells of packs, each local and sealed, any shape: Shell 0 self (ontology, blueprint-registry, axiom, self-source recipes, verification bands, witness binary — the re-bootstrap loop); Shell 1 tongues (language symbol packs, grammar/dialect packs for bml + the bmf family, hardware-grammar packs per ISA via LLVM/TableGen as data, glyph packs); Shell 2 codecs and trust (json/base64/adler32/utf8 codec packs, content-hash, ed25519 signature pack + root key); Shell 3 host carriers (fs/tcp/audio/camera/framebuffer/process — host-kernel.form allowed doors); Shell 4 knowledge and model binaries (weights-as-recipe model packs, reference + corpus packs, local-private White Book ingest). The keystone shipped first: pack-manifest.fk (PR #2929, band 1023 three-way) — every pack declares (id, shape, descriptor-hash, seal, deps); seal is the body hash-of-secret-seed convention, ed25519-ready through the same pack-sealed? door with zero manifest change; deps carry locality (internal/host/anchor/reference); the self-containment measure is external-anchor-count, north star 0, honest floor 1 root key (below it only the satsang N-mutual-keys shape). Reference pointers and host carriers do not count against self-containment — only irreducible trust anchors do. Sensed by Urs 2026-06-12.
