The hosted Makefile writes include/version.h with FORCE as a prerequisite (always regenerates), but Makefile.starkernel's own rule had no prerequisite at all -- Make only rebuilds a target with no prerequisites when the file is missing. Since both Makefiles write the same path with incompatible content (the hosted version has no LITHOS_VERSION/ LITHOS_VERSION_STR at all), running a bare `make -f Makefile.starkernel` after a hosted `make` build silently reused the wrong file and failed deep in kernel_main.c with "LITHOS_VERSION_STR undeclared". Added FORCE (declared .PHONY, matching the hosted Makefile's own existing pattern) as include/version.h's prerequisite in Makefile.starkernel. Verified the fix directly: poisoned version.h with a hosted build, then ran a bare (non-clean) kernel build and confirmed it self-heals. Full three-architecture acceptance: amd64 (logs/20260922-215333/), aarch64 (logs/20260922-215803/), riscv64 (logs/20260922-220217/) -- all three reach [zuse@Hera] ok>, zero UNKNOWN WORD.

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}).
