+**Head-absent negatives (head unplugged, machine powered up):** the head
+driver fails probe (`head not detected`) and the whole `head/` sysfs
+group is absent, so every head attribute reads as missing rather than
+as a number; neither the daemon nor the controller logs anything
+repetitive with the head gone; the liveness probe skips (`head
+accelerometer not found`) and the controller starts. Three findings,

+bit 7 raw (reads `true` with the head unplugged) — now real presence
+(the head group exists) and it read `false`; `/mode` said `motion:
+"verified"` after a probe that could not run — now `"unverified"`
+(forgectrl `73eda9a`); and **nothing gated arming on
+head presence** — the GRBL controller now refuses the first laser-on
+of a job when the head group is absent, before the latch unlocks and
+before the button lights (grblHAL `91807a2`, "laser fire blocked: no head
+detected" + `ALARM:3`, operator-witnessed: the button stayed dark).
+The K-11 runtime-I²C-error case (a present head answering badly) and
+the C-3 failed-head-capture case are not reachable with the head
