Observer flag on switch-signal slots, set by the kernel for the Tripod (is_fleet_foundation, hoisted; Hera in kernel_main). The decision: an observer in progress or holding an event keeps the CPU; observers with events (mail, Hera's console input) go ahead of participants, oldest wait stamp first; participants compared by work heat as before. Observers are never charged (O-2) nor floored. Uncommitted heat-share charge discarded. Evidence, byte-identical amd64/aarch64/riscv64: G interleave unchanged; Hestia's mail runs before any worker output (HHHABB...); a line typed while two workers run is read and executed mid-stream (...ABAB1 2 + . / 3 ok / ABAB...) -- console responsive under load. Relay 3, dict_hash unchanged. Busy-wait DOE deliberately not run (deadlocks by design until O-C). FABRIC-3.9.0 records rulings and Captain Bob's messaging note (§7).

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.
