   Slique data structure (unbounded in simulator)   
   Mock devices (NIC, disk, timer)   
      
   Phase 2 (Weeks 5-8): TTASM compiler   
      
   Parser for TTASM syntax   
   Code generator for x86-64 GNU AS   
   Template library for common operations   
   Cross-validation against simulator   
      
   Phase 3 (Weeks 9-12): Test harness   
      
   100+ unit tests for re-routines   
   Property-based testing (QuickCheck-style)   
   Trace segment validation   
   Cycle-accurate performance tests   
      
   Phase 4 (Weeks 13-16): Concrete adapter   
      
   Minimal x86-64 boot code (UEFI → kernel)   
   Intel I225 NIC driver (single RX queue)   
   NVMe driver (single submission queue)   
   Integration test: Echo packet in QEMU   
      
   Deliverable: Proof-of-concept that boots, receives one packet, echoes it   
   back, shuts down cleanly. Fully instrumented with trace segments. Cycle   
   counts documented.   
   This is achievable in 16 weeks with a single skilled developer.   
   Ready to proceed, RF?
