Anchors the week

Week 14: Capstone Delivery. The week is the deliverable; the labs are the steps of the deliverable.

Concept the lab embodies

The full computing stack you wrote in weeks 1-13, integrated and shipped as a working artifact you can hand to someone else.

The three sub-labs

Lab 14.1: Polish and verify (~2 hr)

Re-flash a fresh bitstream from clean source. Re-run every Virtus OS service through the compliance suite. Re-run your capstone program 5 times in a row; verify it boots correctly each time. Document any flakiness in your notes.

Lab 14.2: Demo video (~1 hr)

60-90 seconds. Show the Virtus Console booting from cold; running your capstone program; one or two notable features. Voice-over optional. Save as capstone-demo.mp4 (or .mov, .webm). Production-value low; clarity high.

Lab 14.3: Capstone write-up (~2 hr)

Follow the spec in CAPSTONE.md. Five sections (what works, what doesn't, what's next, what surprised you, what you would do differently). ~800-1500 words. Plain English. The closing-prose pattern from the chapter outlines applies.

Grading rubric

The capstone rubric template is at worksheets/TEMPLATE-capstone-rubric.md. The week-level rubric: deliverable zip is complete (bitstream + source + write-up + demo video); the bitstream flashes correctly on a fresh Tang Primer 25K; the write-up reflects work that actually happened (not aspirational future work).

What's next

The closing-bridge lecture at the end of the week maps forward to CSA-201, CON-101, RE-101. The skills are yours; pick a lane.
