+- 2026-06-07 — forth: EXCLUDED (foreign-runner, like lua/smalltalk). Its conformance.sh
+  reads a foreign Forth corpus (lib/forth/ans-tests/core.fr, the gerryjackson Hayes Core
+  suite), preprocesses it with awk (strip `\` / `( )` comments + TESTING lines), splits it
+  into `}T` chunks via an external python3 script that generates a chunks.sx of raw source
+  strings, then runs them through the interpreter via (hayes-run-all) → {:pass :fail :error
+  :total}. The shared driver only epoch-loads SX preloads + evals SX test suites; it can't
+  reproduce the awk+python preprocessing of a foreign .fr corpus. No SX `tests/*.sx` suites
+  exist to point the driver at. Left conformance.sh untouched. Not migrated.
