Observer flag on switch-signal slots, set by the kernel for the Tripod
(is_fleet_foundation, hoisted; Hera in kernel_main). The decision: an
observer in progress or holding an event keeps the CPU; observers with
events (mail, Hera's console input) go ahead of participants, oldest wait
stamp first; participants compared by work heat as before. Observers are
never charged (O-2) nor floored. Uncommitted heat-share charge discarded.
Evidence, byte-identical amd64/aarch64/riscv64: G interleave unchanged;
Hestia's mail runs before any worker output (HHHABB...); a line typed
while two workers run is read and executed mid-stream (...ABAB1 2 + . /
3 ok / ABAB...) -- console responsive under load. Relay 3, dict_hash
unchanged. Busy-wait DOE deliberately not run (deadlocks by design until
O-C). FABRIC-3.9.0 records rulings and Captain Bob's messaging note (§7).

Captain Bob: Hera, Artemis and Hestia no longer participate in the
calculations; they observe them and act on events. Design (3.9.0):
observer role from is_fleet_foundation, excluded from decision/work
heat/floor, event-driven (mail, console input, device events), Hera's
own mail at the idle point, event-driven DoE driver replacing the busy
wait. Rulings O-1..O-4 + discard of the uncommitted heat-share charge
open. Plan (3.9.8): stages O-A..O-D then merge, evidence named in advance.
FABRIC-3.8 gets a continuation pointer.
