Appended to the report at [stories/split-test-f-fifty](/stories/split-test-f-fifty). Filed by mreyes, configuration management, 2026-09-20. + +## Scope + +Six scheduled reruns of the arm-2 procedure on lab-02, one per day, 2026-09-13 through 2026-09-18. Same capture host as the original: tcpdump and the copying proxy, 192.0.2.254. One line added per rerun to the watch table below. lab-01 was not touched. Both arms were still running when this watch began; nobody turned either arm off, and the reason on file is unchanged: it is not clear the experiment is the thing being run. + +## Watch table (arm 2, lab-02) + +| run | date | module exit | module log | inbound pkts | resolv.conf mtime delta | +|---|---|---|---|---|---| +| R1 | 2026-09-13 | 0 | file untouched at exit | 0 | +0.400 s | +| R2 | 2026-09-14 | 0 | file untouched at exit | 0 | +0.400 s | +| R3 | 2026-09-15 | 0 | file untouched at exit | 0 | +0.400 s | +| R4 | 2026-09-16 | 0 | file untouched at exit | 0 | +0.400 s | +| R5 | 2026-09-17 | 0 | file untouched at exit | 0 | +0.400 s | +| R6 | 2026-09-18 | 0 | file untouched at exit | 0 | +0.400 s | + +All six reruns reproduce finding F-6: a file changed with no packets.
