+### KRNBUG-IO-002 — `nt_query_volume_information_file` block size (LANDED, gate hypothesis FALSIFIED)
+
+**Status:** applied (branch `xboxkrnl-vol-allocunit/p0-65536-cluster`,
+single squash commit). Tests 591 → 592. Lockstep
+`instructions=100000010, swaps=2, draws=0` deterministic across two
+reruns. sylpheed_n50m oracle still matches its existing golden.
+
+**The fix.** `crates/xenia-kernel/src/exports.rs:1241-1269`,
+`nt_query_volume_information_file` class-3 (FileFsSizeInformation)
+branch, was returning `(total=0x100000, free=0,
+sectors_per_unit=1, bytes_per_sector=2048)`. Replaced with the
+canary-NullDevice byte-identical `(total=0x10, free=0x10,
+sectors_per_unit=0x80, bytes_per_sector=0x200)` (product = 65536).
+Reference: `xenia-canary/src/xenia/vfs/devices/null_device.h:38-46`.
+
+**The cascade hypothesis.** AUDIT-006 predicted that fixing this would
+unblock seven canary-only kernel exports — the priv-11 query at
+`sub_824A9710` would fire, `XamTaskSchedule` at `lr=0x824a9a10` would
+fire, the Cache0 callback thread would spawn, and dispatcher 0x100c's
+producer would finally fire (closing the 6-session producer hunt).
+
+**The cascade DID NOT FIRE.** Fresh 500 M trace at
+`audit-runs/post-IO-002/ours.log` (692 MB, 5.6 M lines):
+
+| Metric | Pre-IO-002 (audit-006) | Post-IO-002 |
+|---|---|---|
+| canary-only kernel exports | 7 | **7 (identical set)** |
+| `XexCheckExecutablePrivilege` calls | 1 (priv=0xA only) | **1** (still no priv=0xB) |
+| `XamTaskSchedule` calls | 0 | **0** |
+| `KeResetEvent / ObCreateSymbolicLink / KeReleaseSemaphore / ExTerminateThread / XamTaskCloseHandle / XamUserReadProfileSettings` | 0 | **0** |
+| `NtQueryVolumeInformationFile` calls | 16 | **16** (no new sites reached) |
+| `swaps` | 2 | 2 |
+| `draws` | 0 | 0 |
+| Worker thread spawns | 19 | 18 (within noise) |
+| `imports` at -n 100M (stable digest) | 987686 | **987630** (-56) |
+
+**Diagnostic.** All 16 `NtQueryVolumeInformationFile` calls in our trace
+originate from a single LR `0x82611f38`, a downstream consumer that
+**completes successfully** in both pre- and post-fix runs. The audit-006
+premise that `sub_824ABA98`/`sub_824A9710` consume the volume-info reply
+at the priv-11 gate is therefore likely incorrect, *or* the gate consumes
+a different information class via a different export entirely.
+
+**Stop-condition triggered.** Per the IO-002 task brief, this session
+landed the correct fix (it makes our reply byte-identical to canary's
+NullDevice and survives every test we have) but did not pivot to a
+second fix. The branch is kept because the value change is correct
+and unblocks no regression; it is, however, **not load-bearing for
+the priv-11 gate**.
+
+**Next-session next-gate hypothesis (untested, ranked by likelihood):**
+
+1. **`sub_824A9710` early-exit probe.** Per AUDIT-005 instrumentation
+   the priv-11 site has never fired in any session. Use `--pc-probe` on
+   the entry of `sub_824A9710` and probe each conditional branch within
+   it; whichever branch exits the function before the priv-11
+   `XexCheckExecutablePrivilege` call site is the actual gate.
+2. **Different info-class.** `nt_query_information_file` (class 5
+   `FileStandardInformation`, class 22 etc.) or
+   `nt_query_full_attributes_file` may be the actual consumer. The
+   16 calls at LR `0x82611f38` are *not* the gate even though they
+   complete successfully.
+3. **Mis-attributed disasm.** AUDIT-005's identification of
+   `sub_824ABA98 = VerifyDirBlockSize` came from disasm reading; IO-001's
+   runtime trace already invalidated parts of that attribution.
+   Re-disassemble `sub_824A9710` with `xenia-rs dis --json --at 0x824a9710`
+   and walk every conditional that might exit before the priv-11 query.
+4. **A different IOCTL.** `NtDeviceIoControlFile` is now reachable
+   (KRNBUG-IO-001 unblocked it); some FsCtl response we return may be
+   the new gate.
