- stadium_release_quota(): evict every patron but pending messages, mark the slot retiring; stadium_retire_sweep() releases a retiring slot once nothing is resident -- free cells to the best donor (ruled), word row and block-table entries cleared, slot free for reuse. Swept at release and after evictions while any slot is retiring. - Called on KILL and reap, and for the nine synthetic self-test ids after the boot self-tests. Hera's slot never released. - Admission fallback skips DELIVER (message) cells. - Probe (removed): slots in use == live VMs after boot and after 56-64 churned VMs on all three ISAs; forced fallback kept the message cell resident and intact; conserved everywhere; K-1's post-churn Hermes refusal gone (1 2 + . -> 3 on the churned system). Heap growth per 28-VM churn halved (~3.4 KB/VM still retained -- open as K-8). - Standard sequence on amd64/aarch64/riscv64: hash, G, ledger unchanged.

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}).
