+## [falcon-v0.6.0] — 2026-05-20
+
+The WASM component pipeline. Control crates compile to WASM, fuse
+through `meld` into one single-memory module, optimise through
+`wasm-opt`, and AOT-compile through `synth` to a real ARM Cortex-M
+ELF — hardware-independent, CI-reproducible.
+
+Original v0.6 scope was hardware bring-up on a Cube Orange. Hardware
+wasn't in place, so v0.6 was reworked to the WASM pipeline + Renode
+emulation — which exercises the full meld → wasm-opt → synth
+toolchain and is strictly more useful as a foundation.
+
+### Added
+
+- **`wasm/falcon-mix-component`, `wasm/falcon-rate-component`** —
+  thin `cdylib` wrappers exposing `relay-mix-quad` / `relay-rate` as
+  scalar-ABI WASM exports (`#[export_name]` kebab names matching the
+  WIT worlds). Build to `wasm32-unknown-unknown`. The `rlib` path is
+  unit-tested natively against the underlying control crates so the
+  wasm exports are proven faithful (5 tests).
+- **`wit/falcon-control/{mixer,rate}.wit`** — WIT worlds in the
+  shape `spar-codegen`'s `wit_gen` module emits from the AADL
+  airframe model. Hand-authored for v0.6; the spar → WIT codegen
+  path is the `rules_wasm_component` follow-up.
+- **`scripts/falcon-wasm-pipeline.sh`** — the reproducible pipeline:
+  `cargo build --target wasm32` → `wasm-tools component embed`+`new`
+  → `meld fuse --memory shared --address-rebase` → `wasm-opt -Os` →
+  `synth compile --cortex-m`. `wasmtime` is the reference oracle.
+- **`renode/falcon-cortex-m.resc`** + `renode/README.md` — Renode
+  STM32H743 (Cortex-M7) machine script that loads the synth ELF.
+  Runs in Linux CI via `renode-bazel-rules` (no macOS-arm64 portable
+  Renode build exists; the `pulseengine/renode-bazel-rules` mac port
+  is in progress).
+- **`FV-FALCON-PIPELINE-001`** verification artifact;
+  **`FEAT-FALCON-v0.6`** bumped `pending` → `approved`, scope
+  reworked from hardware to WASM-pipeline.
+- **meld + synth `cargo install`'d** as pinned `~/.cargo/bin`
+  binaries so development churn in those repos cannot break the
+  falcon pipeline.
+
+### Pipeline result
+
+```
+2 components → meld fuse (shared memory) → 4412 B single-memory module
+wasm-opt -Os:  4412 B → 4126 B
+synth compile: fused module  → 1716 B ARM Cortex-M ELF
+               mixer standalone → 911 B ARM ELF
+wasmtime ref:  falcon-mix-total(0,0,0,0.5) = 2.0   ✓ matches native
+               falcon-rate-torque(1.0) > 0         ✓
+synth disasm:  elf32-littlearm confirmed
+```
+
+### Tool issues found + tracked
+
+Bring-up surfaced three real tool issues — all investigated and
+filed upstream so they're tracked:
+
+- **synth#120** — `unmapped vreg` panic on f32 division
+  (`compiler_builtins` `float::div`). `falcon-rate-component`
+  standalone trips it; the `meld`-fused module containing the same
+  code compiles fine. Commented on the open issue with the falcon
+  repro.
+- **synth#124** (filed) — `synth verify` is advertised in the CLI
+  but is inert unless synth is built with `--features verify`.
+- **meld#172** (filed) — `meld fuse` defaults to `--memory multi`,
+  producing a module `wasm-opt` and `synth` reject; the pipeline
+  works around it with `--memory shared --address-rebase`.
+
+### Verification
+
+- `cargo test --workspace`: 63 test suites green (was 61 in v0.5;
+  +2 wrapper crates).
+- `bash scripts/falcon-wasm-pipeline.sh`: PASS — meld fuse +
+  wasm-opt + synth produce ARM ELFs (2/3 targets; the rate
+  standalone is synth#120, documented).
+- `rivet validate`: 0 broken cross-references.
+
+### Deferred to v0.7
+
+- The 3 libm-using control crates (`ekf`/`att`/`pos`) through the
+  pipeline — gated on synth#120 (they do f32 division).
+- Full Bazel integration via `rules_wasm_component`.
+- Live Renode run wired into CI.
+- `synth verify` Z3 translation validation (gated on synth#124).

+      v0.6 verification of the falcon WASM component pipeline:
+      control crates → wasm32 core modules → WASM components →
+      meld fuse → wasm-opt → synth ARM Cortex-M ELF.
+
+      Evidence layers:
+
+      1. Native wrapper-crate tests (`cargo test`) — the
+         wasm/falcon-*-component crates expose the control logic as
+         scalar exports; their rlib build path is unit-tested
+         against the underlying control crates so the wasm exports
+         are proven faithful proxies. These run in the standard CI
+         and are the extractable `fields.steps` below.
+
+      2. Host pipeline (`scripts/falcon-wasm-pipeline.sh`) — not in
+         `fields.steps` because it needs the WASM toolchain
+         (wasm-tools, meld, wasm-opt, synth) which the current CI
+         image does not carry; it runs locally and will run in CI
+         once rules_wasm_component lands. Verified manually on this
+         release:
+           - 2 components built + component-ized (2 exports each)
+           - meld fuse --memory shared → 4412 B single-memory module
+           - wasmtime reference: falcon-mix-total(0,0,0,0.5) = 2.0,
+             falcon-rate-torque(1.0) > 0  (match native bench)
+           - wasm-opt -Os: 4412 B → 4126 B
+           - synth compile --cortex-m: fused module → 1716 B ARM
+             Cortex-M ELF; mixer standalone → 911 B ELF
+           - synth disasm confirms elf32-littlearm
+
+      3. Renode emulation harness (`renode/falcon-cortex-m.resc`) —
+         STM32H743 Cortex-M7 machine script, staged for the Linux
+         CI run via renode-bazel-rules.
+
+      Known tool issues found during bring-up, all tracked upstream:
+        - synth#120 — unmapped-vreg panic on f32 division
+          (falcon-rate-component standalone); fused module unaffected
+        - synth#124 — synth verify inert without --features verify
+        - meld#172 — meld fuse --memory multi default rejected
+          downstream; pipeline uses --memory shared
+
+      v0.6 verification posture: extensive native testing of the
+      wrapper crates + a manually-verified, reproducible host
+      pipeline script. The synth verify Z3 translation-validation

+# renode — falcon MCU emulation
+
+Emulates the falcon control layer on an STM32H743 (Cortex-M7) — the
+FMU-class MCU from the [falcon roadmap](../falcon/README.md) — so the
+v0.6 pipeline can be exercised without physical hardware.
+
+## Where Renode runs
+
+| host | status |
+|---|---|
+| Linux (CI, ubuntu-latest) | ✅ via `renode-bazel-rules` hermetic portable Renode |
+| macOS arm64 (this dev box) | ◐ no portable build at builds.renode.io; the `pulseengine/renode-bazel-rules` mac port is in progress |
+
+The emulation therefore runs **in CI on Linux**, where
+`renode-bazel-rules` fetches a hermetic portable Renode
+(`renode-1.15.3+...linux-portable-dotnet`). The `.resc` script here
+is host-agnostic — once the mac port of the rules lands it runs
+locally too.
+
+## Pipeline that feeds this
+
+```
+relay-* control crates
+  → cargo build --target wasm32-unknown-unknown   (core modules)
+  → wasm-tools component embed + new              (WASM components)
+  → meld fuse --memory shared --address-rebase    (one single-memory module)
+  → wasm-opt -Os                                  (Binaryen)
+  → synth compile --cortex-m                      (ARM Cortex-M ELF)
+  → Renode: LoadELF on emulated STM32H743         (this directory)
+```
+
+Run the host side of the pipeline:
+
+```sh
+bash scripts/falcon-wasm-pipeline.sh
+# → target/falcon-pipeline/falcon-fused.elf
+```
+
+Then, on a host with Renode:
+
+```sh
+renode renode/falcon-cortex-m.resc
+# (renode) start
+```

+- `falcon-cortex-m.resc` — Renode machine script: STM32H743 platform,

+
+## v0.6 status
+
+The `.resc` script is committed and CI-ready. Actual emulation runs
+in the Linux CI job once `renode-bazel-rules` is wired into the
+build (tracked with the `rules_wasm_component` Bazel integration).
