Each shown dead three ways (FABRIC-3.5 §XXII): the pump loop by its condition, by construction (birth cap == switch table capacity, every birth registers) and at run time (probe silent through boot, G interleave, an 8-worker DoE trial and the relay); SWITCH-MARK-WORK by callers, capsules (source and baked), experiments/tools/logs; the depth counter and back_to field by having no readers. Kept: Hera's own pump drain (last timer-paced delivery, Hera only) and the always-0 readiness CSV columns (a DoE schema call). Acceptance on amd64/ aarch64/riscv64: G interleave unchanged, cfg-0 trial fail=0 2/2 dead, relay 3, idle growth 0; dict_hash set changed by the removed word (word_count 531) and identical across ISAs. FABRIC-3.8 stages A-I done. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

arena.h— the capsule arena allocator: fixed-region allocation for capsule payload data, separate fromkmalloc's general kernel heap.parity.h— the birth/execution parity-record logger: declares the logging interface used to record VM ID, capsule content hash, and dictionary hash on every capsule birth, enabling offline determinism verification across independent kernel runs.
