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).

Hosted StarForth VM implementation (compiled by the root Makefile).
Bare-metal kernel sources live in src/starkernel/; FORTH word
implementations in src/word_source/; the test harness in
src/test_runner/; platform shims in src/platform/.
Entry point / interpreter core
main.c— CLI entry point, VM init, DoE mode dispatch.vm.c— interpreter loop, stacks, dictionary state (the central runtime file).vm_api.c— external VM API implementation.vm_bootstrap.c— VM bootstrap initialization.vm_debug.c— debugging utilities.vm_time.c— time-related VM operations.vm_internal.h— internal-only declarations shared across thevm_*.cfiles, not part of the publicinclude/vm_api.hsurface.repl.c— REPL read-eval-print loop.cli.c— CLI argument parsing.io.c— I/O operations.log.c— logging infrastructure.
Memory / dictionary / blocks
memory_management.c— dictionary allocator.dictionary_management.c— dictionary allocation and search.dictionary_heat_optimization.c— Loop #1 execution-heat tracking.word_registry.c— word registration system.block_subsystem.c— logical→physical block mapper.blkio_file.c,blkio_ram.c,blkio_factory.c— block I/O backends (file-backed, RAM-backed) and the factory that selects between them.stack_management.c— stack operations.

Any .bak file alongside a .c file here (doe_metrics.c.bak,
inference_engine.c.bak, vm.c.bak) is a pre-edit backup left by a past
maintenance script (see scripts/remove_loop_conditionals.sh), not a
build input.
