doe_log.c's per-heartbeat-tick CSV gains two columns: fleet_k_q48
(vm_physics_fleet_heat_sum() over ALL live VMs -- the genuine fleet-wide
conservation invariant K, not reconstructable from the 3 named-Tripod-
member heat columns already logged, which omit every identity VM's own
heat) and fleet_conserved (vm_physics_conserved() as 0/1). Requested
explicitly after the first heartbeat-telemetry analysis pass
(analysis-20260912/) omitted K entirely.

Kernel rebuilt on all three architectures, full 3x9x3 campaign rerun
(results-20260912-with-k/). K = 1.0000000000 (Q48.16 raw 65536) on every
one of 775 heartbeat-tick observations, sd(K) = 0, 100% fleet_conserved,
across amd64/aarch64/riscv64, nine identities, three replicates -- zero
deviation. Also a free regression check on both recent Stadium fixes
(§XVI/§XVII): neither disturbed the reservoir-transfer accounting K
depends on.

Found and fixed a tooling wrinkle along the way: fleet_conserved, being
the CSV row's very last field with nothing after it to bound a regex
match, can have a resumed trial digit merge into it with zero separator
on the wire -- combine.py now derives it from fleet_k_q48 directly (same
epsilon vm_physics_conserved() uses) instead of trusting the raw field.
fleet_k_q48 itself is unaffected either way.

Full analysis, discussion, and light/dark SVG->PDF figures written up as
a proper LaTeX report (report-20260912/report/std79_doe_report.pdf),
following experiments/bare_metal/analysis/report/bare_metal_doe_report.tex's
established style -- supersedes analysis-20260912/'s markdown-only first
pass as the primary deliverable for this dataset (kept, not discarded).

# std79-doe LaTeX report: the fleet conservation invariant K
**Read `report/std79_doe_report.pdf`** — this supersedes `../analysis-20260912/`
(the first, markdown-only pass) as the primary deliverable for this dataset.
That first pass was correctly flagged as inadequate: it never captured K
(the fleet-wide execution-heat conservation invariant) at all, and presented
results as a plain markdown page rather than in this project's established
LaTeX report style (see `experiments/bare_metal/analysis/report/` for the
precedent this follows — same document class, packages, colour palette,
light/dark figure pairs, abstract-first structure with headline numbers).
## What changed to make this possible
`src/starkernel/doe_log.c`'s per-heartbeat-tick CSV gained two new columns
(`fleet_k_q48`, `fleet_conserved` — see the file's own header comment for
the full 20-column schema), requiring a kernel rebuild and a fresh DoE
campaign rerun on all three architectures
(`../results-20260912-with-k/*-doe-raw.log` + `*-heartbeat.csv`).
## Pipeline (same shape as `../analysis-20260912/`, extended for K)
1. `correlate_doe.py <raw_log> <out_csv>` — per architecture, against
`../results-20260912-with-k/{amd64,aarch64,riscv64}-doe-raw.log`
`{amd64,aarch64,riscv64}-correlated.csv` (committed, not scratch).
2. `combine.py <in1.csv> [in2.csv ...] <out.csv>``combined.csv` (775 rows).
Decodes `fleet_k_q48` to a plain float and **derives** `fleet_conserved`
from `fleet_k_q48` directly (using the same epsilon
`vm_physics_conserved()` uses, `capsule_vm_physics.c`) rather than
trusting the raw `fleet_conserved` field — that field is
`doe_log_tick_row()`'s very last printed column, with nothing after it
in the row to bound a regex match against, so a resumed trial digit can
merge into it with zero separator on the wire (confirmed live: raw
values like `19223372036854775807` where `0`/`1` was expected). See the
script's own comment for the full explanation.
3. `analysis.R` (run from this directory) — computes the K result
(trivial: one distinct value, `sd = 0`, reported directly rather than
via a formal test — see the report's own \S5.1 for why), per-cell
architecture × identity summaries, and two-way ANOVA for 12 secondary
metrics; writes `charts/*.svg` (light+dark pairs, matching
`experiments/bare_metal/analysis/analyse_bare_metal.R`'s theme
convention) and `tables/*.csv`.
4. SVGs converted to PDF for LaTeX via `rsvg-convert` into `report/figures/`.
5. `report/std79_doe_report.tex`, hand-authored following
`experiments/bare_metal/analysis/report/bare_metal_doe_report.tex`'s
structure and conventions; compiled with `pdflatex` (three passes for
cross-references/TOC).
## Headline result
$K = 1.0000000000$ (raw Q48.16 `65536`) on **every one of 775
heartbeat-tick observations**, `sd(K) = 0`, `fleet_conserved = 1` on 100% of
rows, across all three architectures, nine identities, and three
replicates. Zero deviation. See the report for the full discussion,
including why this is also a free regression check on the two Stadium
subsystem fixes (FABRIC-3.md §XVIXVII) that landed the same week.
## Known limitation
Same interleaving-correlation caveat as `../analysis-20260912/`: 1 of 27
`run_id` markers was unrecoverable on 2 of 3 architectures this run
(aarch64/riscv64: `run_id` 1 folded into `run_id` 0). `fleet_k_q48` itself
is entirely unaffected by this — it's read directly at each tick regardless
of trial attribution, so the K result does not depend on trial labeling
being correct at all. See report §2.3/§6.4 for the full explanation.
