Log fleet_k_q48/fleet_conserved; K holds exactly, 775/775 ticks (FABRIC-3.md §XVIII)

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).

+(Q48.16 raw value $65536$) on every single row, $100\,\%$ of rows report
+\texttt{fleet\_conserved}, and the standard deviation of $K$ within every
+architecture is $0$. This is the conservation law central to the

+\section{Introduction}
+\label{sec:intro}
+
+LithosAnanke's Stadium subsystem (\texttt{src/starkernel/vm/stadium.c})
+implements a capacity-limited cell array used for word-execution-heat
+tracking and cross-VM resource admission. Its design carries a conservation
+invariant: the sum of execution heat across every live VM in the fleet, a
+quantity we call $K$, must equal $Q48\_ONE$ (fixed-point $1.0$) at all
+times --- heat is redistributed among VMs and dictionary words, never
+created or destroyed. \texttt{vm\_physics\_conserved()}
+(\texttt{capsule\_vm\_physics.c}) already checks this at specific
+diagnostic points; this report asks a stronger question: \textbf{does $K$
+hold continuously, at every heartbeat tick, under real multi-identity
+execution load, across every architecture the kernel targets?}
+
+The vehicle is \texttt{experiments/std79-doe/std79-doe.fth}, a
+self-contained FORTH capsule implementing a randomized
+$3\,(\text{architecture})\times9\,(\text{identity})\times3\,(\text{replicate})$
+full-factorial DoE (FABRIC-3.md \S XV), matching this project's own
+\texttt{capsules/doe.4th} Fisher-Yates methodology. Each of 9 attached
+identity VMs (the superuser \texttt{zuse}, a named human identity
+\texttt{rajames}, and six numbered thumbdrive identities \texttt{00}--\texttt{06})
+runs the same 24-word FORTH-79 standard-dictionary exerciser under
+\texttt{VM-EXEC} cross-VM dispatch, 3 replicates each, Fisher-Yates-shuffled
+run order, single continuous boot per architecture with all 9 identities
+simultaneously live.
+
+Two real defects in the Stadium subsystem were found and fixed during the
+same week this instrumentation was built (FABRIC-3.md \S XVI--XVII): an
+$O(n_{\mathrm{cells}})$ full-array eviction-fallback scan that stalled
+aarch64 VM births for 90+ minutes once the Stadium's cell count scaled with
+available RAM, and a donor-selection policy that always split a new VM's
+initial quota from Hera specifically, silently starving later VM births
+once her own free list ran thin. Both are closed; every result in this
+report was collected \emph{after} both fixes landed, so $K$'s perfect
+conservation here is also, incidentally, a live regression check on both
+fixes: neither introduced any heat leak or double-count.
+
+%% ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+\section{Experimental Design}
+\label{sec:design}
+
+\subsection{System Under Test}
+
+Three 64-bit targets, each booting LithosAnanke from UEFI firmware under
+QEMU TCG software emulation, single continuous QEMU session per
+architecture:
+\begin{itemize}[noitemsep]
+  \item \texttt{amd64} --- x86-64, OVMF UEFI, \texttt{-m 1024}
+  \item \texttt{aarch64} --- ARMv8-A (Cortex-A57), UEFI, \texttt{-m 4096}
+  \item \texttt{riscv64} --- RISC-V RV64GC, OpenSBI + UEFI, \texttt{-m 1024}
+\end{itemize}
+
+All 9 identity thumbdrives are attached one at a time via QMP hotplug with a
+confirmed \texttt{WIREBIND} wait between each (simultaneous boot-time
+attachment of many devices hits a separate, unrelated, still-open kernel
+detection gap, FABRIC-3.md \S XIV) --- once attached, all 9 stay
+simultaneously live for the whole run.
+
+\subsection{DoE Capsule and K Instrumentation}
+
+\texttt{EXEC-STD79-DOE ( seed lo hi -- )} shuffles the 27-cell
+(identity~$\times$~replicate) run matrix with a fixed seed (\texttt{12345},
+identical on every architecture for direct cross-arch comparability), then
+executes each cell in shuffled order, dispatching the 24-word exerciser into
+the target identity's own live VM via \texttt{VM-EXEC}. The run is
+bracketed with \texttt{HB-ON}/\texttt{HB-OFF} (\texttt{doe\_log.c}), which
+gate a 20-column CSV row emitted once per heartbeat tick, tagged
+\texttt{[HADES][DOE~]} in the serial log. Two of those twenty columns are
+new for this report:
+
+\begin{center}
+\begin{tabular}{lll}
+\toprule
+Column & Type & Meaning \\
+\midrule
+\texttt{fleet\_k\_q48} & \texttt{uint64} & \texttt{vm\_physics\_fleet\_heat\_sum()} over ALL live VMs \\
+\texttt{fleet\_conserved} & \texttt{uint32} & \texttt{vm\_physics\_conserved()} as 0/1 \\
+\bottomrule
+\end{tabular}
+\end{center}
+
+Columns 16--18 (already present) log only the three named Tripod fleet
+members' (Hera, Hermes, Artemis) \emph{individual} heat by name lookup ---
+insufficient to reconstruct $K$ on their own, since they omit every identity
+VM's own heat contribution. \texttt{fleet\_k\_q48} is the genuine
+fleet-wide sum, added specifically to make this analysis possible.
+
+\subsection{Data Collection and the Interleaving Correlation Problem}
+\label{sec:correlation}
+
+The heartbeat tick's CSV printer and the DoE trial loop's own console
+output share one serial line with no locking between them: under load, a
+tick's CSV row can be spliced mid-token into the trial loop's own printed
+output on the wire. This does not affect the underlying computation ---
+values in memory are correct, only the printed character stream
+interleaves --- but it does mean naive log parsing cannot simply assume one
+physical line is one logical print.
+
+\texttt{correlate\_doe.py} reconstructs, for every heartbeat-tick CSV row,
+which trial (\texttt{run\_id}, \texttt{id\_idx}, \texttt{id\_label},
+\texttt{rep}) was active when it printed, via a two-pass method: extract
+every atomic \texttt{[HADES][DOE~]} occurrence (rows are never themselves
+split, only the surrounding text is), physically remove those spans to
+reconstruct the clean trial-output stream, then map each removed row's
+position back to the nearest preceding \texttt{run\_id} marker in that
+clean stream. \texttt{run\_id} is recovered this way with high reliability;
+\texttt{id\_idx}/\texttt{id\_label}/\texttt{rep} are instead looked up from
+a fixed table built from an independently-verified clean prior run (same
+seed, so the mapping is deterministic and identical on every architecture)
+rather than re-parsed, since a trial marker's own trailing digit can, rarely,
+merge with an immediately-following CSV field with zero separator.
+
+\textbf{Known limitation.} One \texttt{run\_id} marker per architecture was
+unrecoverable this way in this particular set of runs (amd64: none lost;
+aarch64 and riscv64: \texttt{run\_id}~1, identity \texttt{rajames} rep~0,
+folded into \texttt{run\_id}~0, identity \texttt{zuse} rep~1) --- its rows
+attribute to the preceding trial instead. This affects at most 2 of 27
+trials on 2 of 3 architectures; every other cell, on every architecture, is
+unaffected. \texttt{fleet\_k\_q48} itself is immune to this failure mode
+entirely (see \S\ref{sec:limitations}).
+

+\section{The Conservation Invariant $K$}
+\label{sec:k}
+
+\subsection{Result}
+
+Across all 775 heartbeat-tick observations, on every architecture, under
+every identity, at every replicate:
+\[
+  K = 1.0000000000 \quad (\text{raw } Q48.16\text{ value } 65536),
+  \qquad \mathrm{sd}(K) = 0, \qquad \texttt{fleet\_conserved} = 1
+  \ \ \forall \text{ rows.}
+\]
+
+There is exactly one distinct value of $K$ in the entire dataset. This is
+not a near-conservation result reported to some number of significant
+figures --- it is bit-exact equality to $Q48\_ONE$ on every single
+observation, matching this project's established pattern of reporting
+compudynamic invariants at $0.000\,\%$ variance rather than a small
+nonzero tolerance.

+  intentionally zoomed to $[0.9, 1.1]$ so that \emph{any} deviation, however
+  small, would be visible --- none is present.}
+\label{fig:fleet_k}
+\end{figure}
+
+\subsection{Why This Result Matters}
+
+$K$ is not a metric the kernel merely happens to keep close to 1; it is an
+invariant the Stadium/physics runtime's own reservoir-transfer accounting is
+\emph{designed} to hold exactly, by construction of \texttt{stadium\_evict()}
+crediting a departing patron's remaining heat back to its owner's reservoir
+before the cell returns to the free list (\texttt{stadium.c}), and of every
+VM birth granting a fresh reservoir rather than fragmenting an existing
+one. A single dropped or double-counted heat transfer anywhere in that
+accounting --- in \texttt{stadium\_admit()}, \texttt{stadium\_evict()},
+\texttt{stadium\_grant\_quota()}, or the per-word heat pull/push path in
+\texttt{stadium\_words.c} --- would show up here as $K \neq 1$ on whichever
+tick it happened. None does, across 775 independent observations spanning
+three architectures, nine identities, cross-VM dispatch load, and two
+Stadium subsystem code changes made the same week.
+
+%% ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+\section{Secondary Results: Architecture and Identity Effects}
+\label{sec:secondary}
+
+Twelve further per-tick metrics were tested for architecture and identity
+effects via two-way ANOVA (\texttt{metric~$\sim$~arch~*~id\_label}) on the
+same 775-row dataset.
+
+\begin{table}[h!]
+\centering
+\caption{Significant effects ($p < 0.05$), two-way ANOVA, 12 metrics tested.}
+\label{tab:sig}
+\begin{tabular}{lp{9cm}}
+\toprule
+Effect & Metrics \\
+\midrule
+Architecture &
+  Hot word count, APIC ticks/heartbeat, TIME-TRUST, timing variance,
+  Hera/Hermes/Artemis fleet heat \\
+Identity &
+  Hot word count, mean word execution heat, rolling window width, actual
+  window size, timing variance \\
+Arch $\times$ identity interaction &
+  Timing variance only ($p \approx 0.0017$) \\
+No significant effect &
+  Estimated timer jitter, max VM call depth \\
+\bottomrule
+\end{tabular}
+\end{table}
+
+The pattern is intuitive: \emph{identity} determines what gets executed
+(different dictionaries $\to$ different word-heat and window-sizing
+behavior), \emph{architecture} determines how fast and how precisely time is
+measured (different TCG emulation speed and timer hardware $\to$ different
+APIC/TIME-TRUST/variance behavior). The two factors are almost entirely
+separable --- 11 of 12 secondary metrics show no interaction at all --- and
+critically, \textbf{neither factor perturbs $K$ in the slightest}
+(\S\ref{sec:k}): whatever differences architecture and identity produce in
+raw execution timing and word-heat accumulation, the fleet-wide conservation
+total is unaffected.

+\section{Statistical Analysis}
+\label{sec:stats}
+
+\subsection{K: Not Formally Testable, By Construction}
+
+No ANOVA is reported for $K$ itself: with zero variance in the response
+(every one of 775 observations exactly $1.0$), the F-statistic is
+undefined (division by a zero within-group sum of squares) rather than
+merely large. This absence of a test statistic \emph{is} the result ---
+the same convention this project uses elsewhere when a metric is reported
+as architecture-independent to machine precision rather than
+statistically indistinguishable at some $p$-value.
+
+\subsection{Secondary Metrics}
+
+Full per-cell (architecture~$\times$~identity) means, standard deviations,
+and coefficients of variation, and the full ANOVA table for all twelve
+secondary metrics, are in \texttt{tables/cell\_summary.csv} and

+\section{Discussion}
+\label{sec:discussion}
+
+\subsection{K as a Continuous, Not Just Boot-Time, Invariant}
+
+Prior verification of fleet conservation in this project checked $K$ at
+specific diagnostic points (\texttt{vm\_physics\_\allowbreak status()},
+\texttt{VM-CONSERVED?}). This campaign is the first to log $K$
+\emph{continuously}, once per heartbeat tick, through a sustained,
+realistic multi-identity workload --- 80 recovered trials of cross-VM
+\texttt{VM-EXEC} dispatch, spanning VM admission, word-heat accumulation
+and cooling, and reservoir credit/debit on every eviction. That it holds
+exactly throughout, on every architecture, is a materially stronger claim
+than a boot-time self-test passing: it rules out slow leaks or
+transient double-counts that a single-point check would miss entirely.
+
+\subsection{A Free Regression Check on Two Recent Stadium Fixes}
+
+Both Stadium defects closed the same week this campaign ran
+(\S\ref{sec:intro}) touch exactly the code paths $K$ depends on:
+the O($n_{\mathrm{cells}}$) scan fix changed \emph{how}
+\texttt{stadium\_admit()} finds an eviction candidate (walking a per-VM
+resident list instead of the whole array) without changing which cell it
+selects or how heat is credited back; the donor-floor fix changed
+\emph{which} VM a new quota splits from (\texttt{stadium\_best\_donor()}
+instead of unconditionally Hera) without changing the reservoir math of the
+split itself. $K$'s perfect conservation across every tick of this
+campaign is direct evidence that neither fix disturbed the underlying
+accounting --- a correctness property those fixes' own verification (81/81
+trial correctness, FABRIC-3.md \S XVI--XVII) did not directly probe.
+
+\subsection{Identity and Architecture Effects Are Separable}
+
+The near-total absence of an architecture~$\times$~identity interaction
+(1 of 12 secondary metrics, and only weakly) is itself a useful property
+for anyone extending this instrumentation: architecture-specific timing
+behavior and identity-specific execution behavior can be reasoned about
+independently, without needing to model how one modulates the other.
+
+\subsection{Limitations}
+\label{sec:limitations}
+
+\begin{enumerate}[noitemsep]
+  \item \textbf{QEMU TCG emulation.} All three architectures were tested
+    under software emulation, not physical hardware; see the companion
+    bare-metal DoE report for the corresponding caveat on that campaign.
+  \item \textbf{Interleaving-based trial mislabeling.} As documented in
+    \S\ref{sec:correlation}, 1 \texttt{run\_id} out of 27 was unrecoverable
+    on 2 of 3 architectures, folding that trial's rows into the preceding
+    one. This affects only \texttt{run\_id}/\texttt{id\_idx}/\texttt{id\_label}
+    attribution for those specific rows --- \texttt{fleet\_k\_q48} itself,
+    being read directly by \texttt{doe\_log\_tick\_row()} at the moment of
+    each tick regardless of which trial is running, is entirely
+    unaffected by this correlation problem; $K$'s perfect-conservation
+    result in \S\ref{sec:k} does not depend on trial attribution being
+    correct at all.
+  \item \textbf{Modest per-cell sample size.} Each architecture~$\times$~identity
+    cell contains roughly 7--10 heartbeat-tick observations (one DoE trial's
+    worth), not hundreds; the secondary-metric ANOVA results
+    (\S\ref{sec:secondary}) should be read as a first-pass factorial
+    screen, not a high-power confirmatory study.
+  \item \textbf{Single seed.} All three architectures share one Fisher-Yates
+    shuffle seed (\texttt{12345}) for direct comparability; this campaign
+    does not itself establish invariance across independent run orderings
+    the way the companion bare-metal report's three-seed outer design does.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+%% ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+\section{Conclusion}
+\label{sec:conclusion}
+
+The fleet-wide execution-heat conservation invariant $K$ holds exactly, at
+every heartbeat tick, across 775 observations spanning three architectures,
+nine identities, and three replicates of real multi-VM dispatch load ---
+not one deviation. This closes the loop on the std79-doe campaign's own
+recent history: two real Stadium subsystem defects were found and fixed
+(FABRIC-3.md \S XVI--XVII), the full correctness campaign was re-verified
+81/81 clean, and now the physics conservation law those fixes' own code
+touches is independently confirmed intact, continuously, not just at the
+boot-time self-test that first established it. Architecture and identity
+each significantly affect several secondary timing and word-execution
+metrics, in the expected direction, with almost no interaction between
+them --- and neither factor moves $K$ at all.
