The host gate accepted a WATCOM environment override and skipped when nothing was found. Both are wrong for what it is: a system-wide Open Watcom is a different version reporting different diagnostics, and a gate that skips is a gate that is not running, which is the exact shape of the problem this file was added to close. It now uses .dosboxx/watcom only and fails with the setup command when that is absent, matching how dosboxx.py already behaves. Nothing else in the project reaches for a system install: the DOS session sets WATCOM=W: before calling BUILD.BAT, so the C:\DEVEL\WATCOMC fallback inside it is unreachable. fec/test-dos.bat was tracked but dead -- the runner generates RUN.BAT and only copies build-dos.bat -- so it goes, along with the comment claiming it drives the build and the three fixture READMEs that still pointed at it. The registry decides what runs now. (.qemu/ is untracked local debris from the same era and is left alone.)

M6 fixtures
These fixtures pin the M6 ownership/borrow rules before implementation.
ok*.femust compile with--target=bits32 --emit-c.bad*.femust fail compilation; the first line follows the// ERROR:<line>:<substring>convention from SPEC §12.- They are registered in
src/ferrolang_vm/registry.py, which is what decides whether a milestone runs. - When M6 starts, wire this directory into the DOS/QEMU gate without changing the expected result of any fixture.
- M6 also owns the general-global borrow restriction from R10 because AGENTS.md explicitly groups that change with the
own.cstate-machine work.
Coverage: R4 storage restrictions, R5 scope, R6 shared/exclusive liveness, root-local field/index conflicts, call-only &mut -> & reborrows, branch/loop MaybeMoved and initialization-state merging, R7 invalidation, R8 derived-return provenance joins, defer lifetime extension, and global borrow restrictions.
