find and fix the real ACL-TTL measurement bug (zuse session never
authenticated, ACL enforcement never active)
Two mistakes corrected in sequence, both documented in full in
FABRIC-2.md Section R:
1. HEARTBEAT-TICKS@ was swapped to read heartbeat_ticks() -- a newer,
kernel-only ISR hardware-timer counter (src/starkernel/heartbeat.c,
the M5 TIME-TRUST engine) -- based on a misreading of which counter
"the one clock" law refers to. Reverted to vm->heartbeat.tick_count,
Loop #7 "Adaptive Heartrate", the actual year-plus-old counter the
whole physics runtime is built on. Removed the now-irrelevant
HEARTBEAT-PERIOD-NS@ accessor added to diagnose the wrong counter's
adaptive re-arm period. Three-arch QEMU re-acceptance: POST 1012/0/0
on amd64/aarch64/riscv64, HEARTBEAT-TICKS@ confirmed returning 77
(matching the original pre-heartbeat_ticks() acceptance) on all three.
2. The real bug, found after the revert: every "ACL enabled" measurement
in this investigation (Section P's 18-cell campaign, Section Q's
pilot) loaded ACL.4th and ran EXEC-DOE from the bare `ok>` prompt
without ever authenticating a zuse session. repl.c:303 keeps
emergency_console=1 until zuse_session=1; vm_core.c:755 skips the
entire ACL check block (TTL decrement and acl_recheck()) whenever
emergency_console is set. ACL was configured but never armed.
capsules/zuse.4th's pre-existing self-pin bug means the documented
automatic zuse activation doesn't work either (still flagged, not
fixed) -- worked around by invoking the directly-registered
ZUSE-AUTHENTICATE word explicitly.
Validated pilot (amd64, seed 12345, 30 reps, same build, disabled vs.
genuinely zuse-authenticated-enabled): +117 ticks, +0.0448% overhead.
Disabled-arm determinism double-confirmed (261064 ticks, exact repeat
on a fresh boot) -- the 117-tick difference is real signal, not noise.
Reconciles with the original ACL-RWT campaign's own heartbeat-tick
result (+0.0054%-0.0088%, same order of magnitude). Section P's
wall-clock numbers and Section Q's "instrument blind" conclusion are
both marked invalidated/corrected in place, not deleted.
n=1 per arm, one architecture -- not yet a full campaign. Scoped as
next step, not undertaken in this pass.
