failed() printed "MINT-ZUSE: failed -- nothing changed" on every failure after YES, though by then gpt_write_one() had rewritten the stick's partition table and the identity partition's first blocks had been zeroed. gpt_write_one() now tells the two apart: GPT_EIO when its first write failed (nothing written), GPT_PART when a later write or flush failed (the disk is changed). MINT-ZUSE keeps "failed -- nothing changed" for GPT_EIO only, and says "failed -- the stick was erased; Zuse not minted" for every failure after the table is written. The marker is still written last. Tested first, seen to fail: qemu_session.py mint_part_fail (writes fail only at the identity partition's first sector, LBA 2048) -- "nothing changed", logs/20261112-122132. After: mint_part_fail PASS; mint_fail (every write fails) still "nothing changed", PASS; replace (the success path) PASS. Their logs here. FABRIC-3 XLVIII.20. Captain Bob, 2026-11-12: "start #168".

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.
