Fix-validation partial run — DragonFly 6.5-DEVELOPMENT #1 (kernel B = stock + inject.diff + fix.diff), captured from the QEMU serial console (vm.sh log) during the run of run_df2644_inj.sh (arm=100000 variant). The DF-2644 crash site is passed without a fault; the guest later panics at the UNRELATED pre-existing hammer2_chain_create KKASSERT(parent->error == 0) (chain.c:3112) via hammer2_xop_inode_create_ins — the same defect that kernel A's first run hit via hammer2_assign_physical/strategy_write before the injector was volume-gated.

On kernel B the same flush-error sequence continues with further handled loads/PARENT ERROR messages and the stage-2 iroot flush completes; no fault at hammer2_xop_inode_flush occurs at any point.
