kernel/Makefile wrote the boot arguments with printf '$(KERNEL_ARGS)\n', so arguments starting with '-' were taken for an option -- "printf: Illegal option --", the build stops; the Makefile's own documented example, KERNEL_ARGS="--doe --log-level=info", hit it -- and a '%' in them would be a conversion. Now printf '%s\n' '$(KERNEL_ARGS)', as the board images already write theirs, at all four places (the amd64, aarch64 and riscv64 qemu recipes, and qemu-esp). Red: the stick's increment 2 sessions with KERNEL_ARGS=--log-level=info failed in make. Green: amd64 203627, aarch64 203833, riscv64 204237 -- starforth.cfg holds "--log-level=info" and the boot shows INFO lines after POST. Accepted: 214300, 214507, 214911; test-32 0 failures.

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}).
Hosted-VM DoE campaigns (factorial/heartbeat/ablation studies) live under
docs/working/experiments/ instead — this top-level directory is
specifically the kernel/bare-metal side.
