Disabled capsules/artemis/init.4th block 4170's ART-STRESS-CAMPAIGN -- its own comment already said to revert to disabled once the K-invariant/ heartbeat verification run (item 4.6, closed earlier this session) was done. This was the actual ~25-30 minute wall blocking interactive REPL access, unrelated to any DoE mechanism. Verified capsules/turtle.4th and capsules/sdk.4th live in a gtk-display QEMU session: a red hexagon (6 100 POLYGON) and a green self-intersecting star (100 STAR) both render with correct geometry and color. Screenshot in evidence/amd64/. Two real obstacles found and worked around along the way: CS's full- framebuffer PLOT loop is far slower under TCG than previously documented (closer to 20+ minutes than "slow"), and the kernel's heartbeat CSV logging draws to the same console surface PLOT writes pixels to, overwriting drawings within a fraction of a second unless silenced first with the existing HB-OFF word. Both HOWTOs updated to record this. Re-verified full three-arch acceptance boot (POST, DoE, parity) with the ART-STRESS-CAMPAIGN change: 1012/0/0 and matching dict_hash on all three, identical to the pre-change baseline.

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.
