W1 N128 NVMe recovery: UMF loader preflight abort

The second 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-20260723T134648Z

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

The corrected sycl-ls invocation explicitly removed the invalid ambient UR_LOG_LOADER value, but the inherited dynamic-loader path did not include the installed oneAPI Unified Memory Framework directory. Both installed Level Zero adapters consequently reported:

libumf.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

sycl-ls again exited zero while reporting Platforms: 0. The gate required all four level_zero GPU rows 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:

Read-only ldd checks show that both pinned adapters resolve every dependency when invoked with exactly:

/opt/intel/oneapi/umf/1.1/lib:/opt/intel/oneapi/compiler/2026.0/lib:/opt/intel/oneapi/compiler/2026.0/opt/compiler/lib

The correction pins that loader path and these installed runtime identities:

The new recovery root is registered as:

/mnt/fast-ai/llm-optimization-artifacts/laguna-s-2.1/runs/w1-n128-nvme-postreboot-recovery-20260723T135330Z

This retry is an infrastructure correction on the same clean boot, not a performance-conditioned restart. A1 remains the first model generation after a complete recovery pass.
