kernel: a refusal names its rule, and two bounds stop failing open
An AMD Ryzen booted to a working compositor with no USB and no storage, and the log said only "register refused". A tree-wide audit of every compile-time ceiling followed: 235 of them, 139 on quantities the machine or a file decides rather than us, 5 documented anywhere, 171 silent when reached. docs/fixed-bounds-audit.md has the inventory. Errno attribution. The errno space was split between the kernel and the envelope, free to drift; it is now one list in system/abi.zig, restated on both sides, with a comptime check in library/device/driver where the two halves are visible. device_register's six refusals and device_claim's three are distinct codes, so a bus driver can say which rule stopped it, and BadParent splits into NoSuchParent and NotYourParent. pci-bus reconciles found against registered instead of counting refused functions as found. Idempotency ordering. The child cap was checked before the identity match, so a restarted bus was refused its own devices — the supervision restart the system leans on ratcheted toward a degraded machine. A re-registration consumes no slot and is now admitted first. IOMMU fail-closed. confineDevice returned success for a device id past the confinement table, leaving the device outside every domain while the caller believed it confined — unreachable only while ids stop at 64, which both the inventory move and a hardware-reported domain count would change. It refuses now, and the coupling to the broker's device cap is a comptime assert rather than a sentence in a comment. PCI apertures. The bridge's MMIO apertures are derived from the holes in the firmware memory map, and the derivation copied sub-4 GiB entries into a fixed [64] array and skipped the rest. A skipped region is not merely lost: the gap finder concludes it is free, so a real machine's 60-200 entry map yields an aperture over live RAM, and containment then admits a child BAR covering kernel memory. Rewritten to walk the map in place, with the hole finder extracted as a pure function and driven by a synthetic 100-entry map in a new test case. Both new tests were verified to fail on the old code. parameters.zig gains the rationale it was missing and loses a stale sentence pointing at the wrong file; vdso.md documents the errno space, including EPEER, which had no written meaning anywhere. docs/os-development/bounds.md is how a ceiling is declared from here. docs/bounds-track-plan.md is the plan to remove the ones we invented. Suite 114 -> 115.
