Full 18-cell paired campaign (9 arch/seed pairs x ACL disabled/enabled) complete: 8,640/8,640 rows, all 16 cfg values x 30 each in every cell, zero errors. Confirmed capsules/zuse.4th's ACL-ZUSE-BOOT self-pin bug (self-pin placed inside its own colon definition, causing a genuine forward-reference failure) is isolated from the core ACL enforcement mechanism -- verified via live VM state query on multiple cells that ACL-INIT-PRIMITIVES and EXEC/BYE pinning both complete correctly regardless. Result: +5.30% pooled overhead, +4.42% unweighted mean across the 9 pairs (sd 6.77%), paired t=2.043 (df=8) -- not significant at p<0.05. Documented honestly as a real positive trend that doesn't establish a precise percentage with confidence, given wall-clock timing's noise floor is comparable to the effect size -- unlike the original ACL-RWT campaign's VM-internal tick-counter methodology. A tighter measurement (more replications, or reading a VM-internal counter directly) is scoped as a next step, not attempted here. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
