Build capsules/per-isa-doe.4th: per-ISA campaign driver (N=3, 18 trials/ISA)
Thin wrapper over multiuser-doe.4th's own MU-EXEC-CAMPAIGN, which already
implements the ratified 6-cell factorial generically -- adds only what
FABRIC-3.md §XXXIV.4's per-ISA pivot needed: one fixed seed per ISA,
N=3 reps/cell=18 trials/ISA (ratified over §XXXV.5's own N=2 safety-margin
recommendation, Captain Bob's explicit choice), an ISA tag threaded into
the trial marker so records from all 3 ISAs' sequential campaigns can be
told apart on the shared disk/artemis.img, and three single-word
no-argument entry points (RUN-AMD64-CAMPAIGN/RUN-AARCH64-CAMPAIGN/
RUN-RISCV64-CAMPAIGN).

Blocks 5117-5119 -- the only 3 remaining in the [2048,5120) user block
namespace; mkcapsule --lint caught the first draft going one block past
the ceiling. Verified live, load-only: both capsules load with zero
UNKNOWN WORD/redefinition/error lines, all 3 entry words resolve,
constants compile correctly. No campaign trial has been run yet --
build+verify only, per explicit scope for this pass.

FABRIC-3.md §XXXV.8/.9 records the decision and verification.

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.

Key files

File Type Purpose
init.4th (m) MAMA_INIT Default Mama VM personality — loaded at LBN 2048

Block namespace

Block ranges are shared across all loaded capsules — collisions cause silent word-definition overwrites.

Range Owner
2048–2099 init.4th
2100–2199 doe.4th
3000–3999 workload capsules
4000+ user-defined (ACL.4th, zuse.4th, …)

Each block is limited to 1024 bytes. Verify with wc -c before committing.
