W1 N128 NVMe recovery: SYCL logger preflight abort

The first local-NVMe recovery root is closed as an infrastructure-only abort:

/mnt/fast-ai/llm-optimization-artifacts/laguna-s-2.1/runs/w1-n128-nvme-postreboot-recovery-20260723T131632Z

It ran on clean boot 0b7f98a5-e50a-46a5-81ea-15938b55317a, kernel 7.0.0-28-generic, with taint 0. The gate verified all 118 local model files, xpu-smi version and four-card discovery, exact PCI/DRM mapping, and strict four-card idleness.

The next bounded command invoked oneAPI 2026 sycl-ls with UR_LOG_LOADER=level_info. That value uses an obsolete logger syntax. The tool printed:

Wrong format of the UR_LOG_LOADER environment variable value: 'level_info'
No platforms found
Platforms: 0

sycl-ls nevertheless exited zero. The gate then required all four level_zero GPU rows, found none, and failed closed with status 1. It did not run the peer binary, either XCCL pass, either N64 gate, N128, a model service, or model generation. Kernel delta contained only -- No entries --; the Xe reject file was empty and kernel taint remained zero.

The evidence manifest verifies completely. Stable hashes are:

The only authorized correction is to explicitly unset UR_LOG_LOADER for the already verbose sycl-ls command and use the fresh local root:

/mnt/fast-ai/llm-optimization-artifacts/laguna-s-2.1/runs/w1-n128-nvme-postreboot-recovery-20260723T134648Z

This retry is not conditioned on performance or candidate output. A1 remains the first model generation after a complete recovery pass.
