+(the k lane's synthesised sequencer-core floor at N3, the pessimistic column), 3.2 pJ (the record's k = 0.5) and 6.4
+pJ (k = 1, a core as good as a GPU lane); `E_mem` 0.466, 0.321 and 0.14 microjoules. The Apple rows are at the GPU-plus-DRAM meter (the package adds about 17 W on the M5
 Max; the wall more); the NVIDIA and AMD rows are whole-card.

+Two faults found on the way, for the fleet lane: (1) the sweep driver's ssh wait read every Vast pod of the 13:21 wave
+as "never answered ssh in 10 minutes" while a direct `ssh` to the same host and port answered at once (13 pods, all
+live; the rows were then taken by a direct runner, `~/igneum-fleet/denom-direct.sh`, which keys on the provider's
+own ssh host and port and nothing in the registry); (2) the registry lock `~/igneum-fleet/boxes.json.lock` was held
+from 13:32 by three `dn3-q05.py` processes of another lane, so every `Registry.patch` from this lane blocked (a
+re-rent sat 12 minutes on a live pod and then destroyed it); the lane's scripts now write the registry best-effort
+under a 15 s alarm. The rented stock rows against the PC rows on the one card measured both ways (the 5080): class v5
+71.35 MH/s at 248.0 W rented against class v4 71.41 at 253.1 W on PC 1, within 3 percent, so the 18 percent class v3
+spread of the morning was that host and not the method.
