S" Hera" KILL called vm_physics_retire(hera_id) before capsule_vm_kill()'s own Hera guard ever ran. Hera's self-referential parent_vm_id makes vm_physics_find_root_id() return her own id immediately, so vm_physics_retire() treated her as an unreachable root and zeroed the fleet's entire execution_heat_q48 sum -- silently, with only the harmless-looking "cannot kill Hera" message as output. Guard the retire call the same way capsule_vm_kill() already guards the actual kill.

Kernel-side capsule system: locating, validating, and executing the
immutable, content-addressed .4th initialization payloads in
capsules/ (embedded into the kernel image via tools/mkcapsule.c).
capsule_find.c— locates a capsule by name in the generated capsule directory.capsule_validate.c— validates a capsule's content hash before use.capsule_birth.c— the birth protocol: allocate VM ID → execute IDENTITY (capsule code) → execute PERSONALITY (block 1 from ramdrive) → log parity record.capsule_run.c— capsule execution against a VM instance.capsule_loader.c— loads capsule block content into kernel ramdrive block RAM, writing eachBlock Nheader to its literal numbered block address (not reordered).capsule_vm_hooks.c— VM integration hooks for capsule execution.capsule_vm_physics.c— physics-runtime bindings for capsule-birthed VMs.mama_forth_words.c— Mama VM-specific FORTH word bindings.
