Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 1e2dc7fbf0 Close punch-list item #4: amd64 dict_hash non-determinism does not reproduce
Ran the amd64 kernel acceptance leg 5 times back to back as the punch
list's action item asked. dict_hash was byte-identical across every run
for every VM (Artemis, both Hermes instances, Hera/MAMA_INIT), and
matched aarch64/riscv64 exactly each time. Not jitter, and not
stable-but-different either.

The underlying mechanism the hypothesis pointed at is still real and
unchanged (capsule_dict_hash_hook() still folds execution_heat into the
hash; amd64 still runs its timer in RELATIVE mode under this
hypervisor) — but PARITY:MAMA_INIT and the child-VM PARITY:BIRTH lines
all print before the heartbeat starts, and heat only decays on
heartbeat ticks, so there's no window for the timer's non-determinism to
reach execution_heat before any of these hashes get computed. Most
likely the original 2026-07-24 observation was a one-off (loaded host
machine, coincidental timing), not a real gap.

No code change. No amendment to CLAUDE.md's acceptance criteria needed —
"identical dict_hash across all three architectures" holds up under
repeated testing. Closure note added to the punch list; the 5 verification
runs' logs and DoE CSVs are kept as the supporting evidence.
