x4 note: the pause process died mid-run (18:58:30), not after the runs

The log mtimes plus each run's own duration pin it: the first 'invalid internal
status' in the user journal is 18:58:30, while the F bench (launched 18:54:31)
was still loading, and the preceding llama-cli placement probe had just spilled
3.2 GB of '> ' prompts. The note had said 'after the experiment'; that was wrong
and is now recorded with the timestamp it can be checked against.

- **A dead rootless podman pause process takes the whole host's container
