vm_core.c: demote the per-word "ECW: w=... func=... 'NAME'" dispatch trace from LOG_INFO to LOG_DEBUG. POST forces the logger to LOG_TEST for the duration of the self-test run, and LOG_TEST includes LOG_INFO, so every single word execution during POST was echoing this trace -- hundreds of lines burying the actual module summaries and pass/fail tally. Still available via --log-level=debug. Combined with HEARTBEAT_DOE_LOG=0 (command-line Kconfig override, no default change -- experiments/bare_metal/'s own DoE tooling still gets HEARTBEAT_DOE_LOG=1 by default), all three architectures now boot clean: UEFI -> POST summary -> Mama birth -> Hermes self-test -> heartbeat -> ok>, with no [HADES][DOE] rows and no ECW flood. Verified by three-arch QEMU boot; logs attached. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

LithosAnanke — the bare-metal UEFI kernel that boots StarForth directly on
hardware (amd64/aarch64/riscv64). Built only via Makefile.starkernel; the
only valid acceptance test is the three-arch QEMU boot (see
.claude/CLAUDE.md), never make test.
kernel_main.c— kernel entry point, driving the boot milestones (console init, PMM, VMM, interrupts, timers, kmalloc heap, VM bootstrap).repl.c— kernel REPL.doe_log.c— kernel-side DoE (Design of Experiments) metrics logging.
