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).

capsules/
FORTH personality files loaded by the VM at boot. A capsule is an immutable, content-addressed payload; its XXHash64 hash is its identity. Any mutation changes the hash and the birth protocol rejects the image.
