Four solid SiO<sub>2</sub> disks alone, used with a small circular sweep, developed a cavity through the full source stack during the nominal 600 nm test. The recording captures strong early rate excursions and a late transient. The heating-timer pauses are a separate operational issue and are not evidence of source instability. The liner was reported undamaged.

<b><em>The combination of disks, surrounding granules, and a horizontal figure-eight sweep gave more stable operation in the second test and left the fourth disk unpenetrated.</em></b> Both configurations produced transparent SiO<sub>2</sub> films with Cauchy-model ellipsometry thicknesses close to 0.67 µm. The combined configuration is a reasonable starting point for further source optimization.

The strongest evidence supports improved deposition stability and reduced penetration depth in Run 2. Lower mass consumption was not quantified because the second charge was not weighed before and after deposition. A reliable maximum thickness requires further testing.
