The full 360-trial campaign was launched, then killed after 4h39m of CPU time with zero trials completed -- still stuck on the very first touch of the very first trial. Root cause, quantified from the workload's own source, not estimated: RUN-CHAOS5 (workload-5.4th) is 1000000 0 DO CHAOS-FIELD CHAOS-RIPPLE LOOP, multiplying out to ~2.4 trillion word executions for one call -- ~495 days at the observed rate. Never designed to be called to completion as a single touch in a repeatedly-birthed worker. A second problem found computing the fix rather than discovering it mid-run again: workload-1.4th's own birth-time self-execution (20 SQUARE-WAVE + 1500 SQUARE-BURST + 100000x MICRO-BURST, all three run automatically at capsule load) sums to ~875 million words -- ~4.3 hours just to birth one worker -- and worker index 1 always maps to it in heterogeneous mode, landing in half the campaign's cells regardless of concurrency level. Fix: two new capsules, workload-1-lite.4th and workload-5-lite.4th, carrying the same word bodies verbatim but a bounded self-execution tail, comparable in scale to the campaign's other workloads. The originals are untouched; only multiuser-doe.4th's own WL-CAPSULE/ WL-ENTRY index 1 and 5 mappings were repointed. Verified live before relaunching a third time: the actual worst case in isolation (5 0 998 MU-RUN-TRIAL, concurrency=8 heterogeneous, includes both fixed workloads plus RUN-OMNI) completed in ~20 minutes wall-clock, Hera stayed healthy throughout. Clean 3-arch qemu boot. Reps reduced 60 -> 30/cell (Bob's call after seeing the real per-trial cost) -- still matches the project's "rule of 3's" DoE convention (same as ACL-RWT's own 30 reps). 6 cfgs x 30 reps = 180 trials.
