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.

FABRIC-3.9.8.md — Observers and participants: execution plan and log
Status: PLANNED. No stage started. The design and its open rulings (O-1 to O-4, plus the
discard question) are in FABRIC-3.9.0.md.
Each stage:
- needs Captain Bob's explicit go;
- gets its own commit;
- gets its own three-architecture acceptance (
clean qemu; amd64, then aarch64, then riscv64; foreground; visible framebuffer; one at a time; coupled images reset before each).
Evidence is named before each stage runs.
The standing acceptance sequence for every stage, unchanged from FABRIC-3.8.md:
- a boot to
[zuse@Hera] ok>with zeroUNKNOWN WORD, faults and frame corruption; - the
dict_hashset identical across ISAs; - the Stage G interleave (two workers,
A/B), byte-identical across ISAs; - mint → WIREBIND →
USE→1 2 + .→3; - 0 bytes of idle log growth over 20 s.
1. Staged plan
| Stage | Change | Evidence (named in advance) |
|---|---|---|
| O-A | Observer role (FABRIC-3.9.0.md §2.1). The absolute-heat-share charge is discarded (ruling 5). Observers are left out of the decision's candidates, the work-heat charge and the floor. (Also the absolute charge, if O-2 is ruled so.) Observers with events go ahead at clean boundaries, among themselves by wait stamp (§2.4, per O-1). |
The standard sequence. A probe (reverted after capture) shows the decision never returning an observer as a heat candidate, and an observer with mail switched to at the next participant checkpoint. The busy-wait DoE driver, unchanged, run as a cfg-0 trial with rows on for a fixed window: Hera's share of rows falls from about ½ (the stopped relaunch's tail) to near 0 while both workers have work. That is the measured symptom this design exists to fix. |
| O-B | Hera's own mail drained at sk_vm_idle_point(), with the readline n > 0 gate; the timer-paced pump drain removed (§2.5). |
The standard sequence, plus: a message sent to Hera while she sits idle at the prompt is acted on without waiting for the idle beat. A probe records the delay in beats from admission to drain; it must be well under SK_IDLE_BEAT_INTERVAL. The relay and BLK-ATTACH flows are unchanged. |
| O-C | An event-driven DoE driver (§3): DOE starts trial 1 and returns to the prompt; MU-DONE counts, ends trials and starts the next; MU-WAIT-ALL is deleted. Capsule only. |
A 1-rep smoke campaign on amd64 runs all 6 cells to MU-CAMPAIGN: complete, with every trial fail=0 and N/N KILL … dead. Hera's rows during trials are only event handling. The prompt answers typed input while trials run. Then the standard sequence on all three ISAs. |
| O-D | The DoE relaunch: 12345 3 S" <isa>" DOE, amd64, then aarch64, then riscv64, with the ring extracted between ISAs and artemis.img not reset in between. |
A fresh time estimate from O-C's measured row rate, before launch. Then per ISA: 18 MU-TRIAL markers, fail=0, MU-CAMPAIGN: complete. |
| Merge | This branch to master, once all three ISAs have completed O-D. |
Per this project's own merge practice, at Captain Bob's word. |
Stop conditions (re-plan rather than push on):
dict_hashdiverges across ISAs;- conservation (
vm_physics_conserved(),stadium_conserved()) goes false; - an observer is ever returned as a heat candidate;
- a switch storm: log growth at an idle prompt, with QEMU pinned;
- a trial that never produces its marker.
