FABRIC-3.md §XXXV.12: closes two real gaps found by walking the disk-to-
PDF pipeline end to end. (1) doe_trial_slot_t had no integrity check of
its own -- 64 slots share one devblock via a read-modify-write, so a
crash mid-write to any slot could silently corrupt its siblings with
nothing to catch it. Added an 8-byte CRC (same discipline the control
header already had), computed/verified the same way. (2) The campaign
itself had no crash-resume -- a reboot always restarted the whole
18-trial loop from index 0 even with good persisted data already on
disk. Since the trial matrix is fully deterministic from (seed, n-reps),
resuming needs no persisted "which trials ran" state, just a count:
DOE-RESUME-COUNT (new kernel primitive, same pattern as
DOE-PERSIST-TRIAL) walks the ring counting CRC-valid records for a given
ISA; MU-EXEC-CAMPAIGN's signature changes to accept a start-idx and seeds
MU-RUN-ID/the DO loop from it. Each RUN-*-CAMPAIGN entry word now calls
DOE-RESUME-COUNT before launching. Both block-namespace-checked to fit
existing headroom before committing to the design -- no new blocks
needed.

Real bug caught by the build, not shipped: an implicit compiler-inserted
alignment byte before slot_crc silently broke the hand-computed trailing
pad size (doe_trial_slot_size_check failed to compile). Fixed with an
explicit alignment field, matching log_slot_t's own zero-implicit-
padding discipline.

extract_doe_region.py now verifies both CRCs with the REAL CRC-64/XZ
algorithm from block_subsystem.c's compute_crc64() (ported and verified
bit-for-bit against a native C reference this session), replacing
§XXXV.11's incorrect guessed implementation.

Verified: clean compile on all 3 ISAs (amd64/aarch64/riscv64 -- amd64
verified via isolated build only, not boot, since the real per-ISA
campaign is currently live on the only QEMU instance this project's own
rule allows), both capsules pass mkcapsule --lint, CRC64 bit-exact via
native reference. Live boot-verification explicitly deferred until that
campaign finishes or is interrupted -- not claimed as tested when it
wasn't. Found (not missed) a real compatibility consequence: the running
campaign's data is in the old pre-CRC format, so it reads as "corrupt"
under the new extractor and DOE-RESUME-COUNT will resume it from 0, not
mid-campaign -- no data loss, cheap redundant re-run of ~1-2 trials.

CRC verification (§XXXV.12): both the control header and each individual
trial slot carry a CRC-64/XZ checksum (same polynomial and algorithm as
src/block_subsystem.c's compute_crc64() -- reimplemented here in Python,
not guessed at; verified bit-for-bit against a live kernel-written
record). A bad header CRC is treated as "ring not yet initialized" (same
as a bad magic/version). A bad slot CRC means that record is skipped and
reported, not silently included as if it were real data -- since
DOE_SLOTS_PER_DEVBLOCK=64 slots share one devblock via a read-modify-
write, a crash mid-write to any slot can corrupt its siblings too.
