Closes the "still open" reader-tool note from §XXXV.10: scripts/ extract_doe_region.py spools DOE-PERSIST-TRIAL's on-disk binary ring off disk/artemis.img into a CSV -- direct file read by default, or via a real loop device (--loop, losetup) per the literal request. Independent Python reimplementation of doe_region.c's own ring-walk, verified against a live 3-record write/read round trip. analyse_multiuser_doe.R (house style, ggplot2/svglite) and multiuser_doe_report.tex (same preamble convention as bare_metal_doe_report.tex) auto-discover whatever data exists and degrade gracefully to a placeholder when a campaign has 0 trials so far -- the whole point being this can be rebuilt at any point during a multi-day campaign, including mid-run. build_multiuser_doe_report.sh chains extraction -> R -> svg_to_pdf.py -> pdflatex into one command. Found and fixed a real bug while verifying: the R script's SCRIPT_DIR detection silently wrote charts/tables/report output to the repo root instead of the analysis directory when invoked from a different cwd -- switched to the robust commandArgs() "--file=" idiom. Verified live both branches (0 trials and a real 3-record write), reverted synthetic test data and incidental svg_to_pdf.py churn on ~85 unrelated committed figures before committing. FABRIC-3.md §XXXV.11 has the full account. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01BWpNjdwPtFLuVLaAq44L9K
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.
| Range | Owner |

| 2048–2099 | init.4th |
| 2100–2199 | doe.4th |
| 3000–3999 | workload capsules |
