KernelArgs gains screen_boot; cmdline.c parses screen=boot (with or without --; any other value: off). With it, the v4 boot keeps the console mirrored to the framebuffer after POST, with the TTF font, and says 'Screen: the console stays on until login (screen=boot)'; login and logout work as without it, and nothing can be typed without Zuse. Without it, unchanged. For the SER5, which has no known serial port (ruled 2026-10-28). BRINGUP.md: the smoke test's stick and starforth.cfg. Tests: screen_boot (new) failed on amd64 and aarch64 before, passes on all three ISAs after; screen_dark_until_login, screen_dark_after_logout, zuse pass. Acceptance: amd64, aarch64, riscv64 to [zuse@Hera] ok>, POST 538/538, dict_hash 0xfec8c47cfc6f437f; v4 suite and test-32 0 failures. Plan: docs/v4.0.0/plans/2026-10-27-stick-4-one-disk.md, Task 5.

Design of Experiments (DoE) campaign data and analysis for the LithosAnanke kernel.
bare_metal/— the bare-metal DoE experiment: blind full-factorial 2⁴ runs measuring the L8 Jacquard mode selector's effect on the Steady-State Machine across amd64/aarch64/riscv64. Seeexperiments/bare_metal/README.mdfor the full directory layout (runs/,latest/,analysis/{charts,tables,report}).
Hosted-VM DoE campaigns (factorial/heartbeat/ablation studies) live under

specifically the kernel/bare-metal side.
