- DOE sets up, JOINs EV-DONE and starts trial 1, then returns. Each trial
births and sends WL-RUN only; completion arrives as the OS's EV-DONE.
- ON-DONE counts this campaign's own workers while active; the last one
ends the trial (KILL all, marker, persist) and starts the next, or
finishes (HB-OFF, UNJOIN, MU-CAMPAIGN: complete). MU-WAIT-ALL is gone;
the start/end cycle goes through MU-END-XT.
- WL-DONE-ARGS removed from all ten workload capsules; lint passes.
Smoke campaign (amd64, 1 rep, rows off per Captain Bob): DOE returns, the
prompt answers mid-trial, all 6 trials chain on events, fail=0 each,
28/28 born/killed/departed, MU-CAMPAIGN: complete in ~61 min. Standard
sequence passes on all three ISAs (with the xHCI fix it exposed, df150e86).

capsules/
FORTH personality files loaded by the VM at boot. A capsule is an immutable, content-addressed payload; its XXHash64 hash is its identity. Any mutation changes the hash and the birth protocol rejects the image.

Block namespace
Block ranges are shared across all loaded capsules — collisions cause silent word-definition overwrites.
