qemu-stick boots the amd64 stick image (build/boards/pc/lithos-pc.img, copied per run) as a USB drive on q35, exactly as hardware would. DATASTICK=1 adds the data stick to any qemu run as a second USB drive. qemu_session.py gains --target and the stick_boot and datastick modes. Checks: stick_boot (the stick's own identity partition attaches, headless on a blank identity); datastick on amd64/aarch64/riscv64 (both drives found, the data stick's 500 MiB identity attaches); the seven GPT modes, the identity-gate and increment 1 sessions, emergency; the suite; three acceptance boots to [zuse@Hera] ok> with POST 538/538 and dict_hash=0xfec8c47cfc6f437f; 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.
