Daniel Samson 3cc1d38dd0 The device manager supervises: hello, backoff, and the crash-loop cap (M18.1)
The manager is now a harness service on the well-known .device_manager
endpoint. Every driver spawns supervised; drivers with an assignment must
hello (device-manager-protocol, versioned) within a deadline enforced by
a timer sweep. Exit reasons drive the restart decision: clean exits stay
down, faults restart with 300/600/1200ms backoff, and three fast deaths
mark a driver failed instead of respawning forever. usb-xhci-bus is the
first conforming driver; the crash-test fixture claims a device, hellos,
and faults on purpose — each respawn re-proving claim release on death
through the manager's own path. maximum_tasks grows 16 -> 32: the
initial-ramdisk sweep (15 binaries at once) was intermittently
overflowing the static pool.

//! The device-manager protocol (docs/device-manager.md): what drivers and
//! applications say to the device manager over its well-known endpoint. The
//! vfs-protocol pattern — extern-struct messages, a version in the handshake,
//! reserved fields — so both sides depend on the contract by name. Deliberately
//! contains nothing lifecycle-shaped: stopping, liveness (the zero-length ping),
//! and exit reasons are the universal vocabulary of
//! docs/process-lifecycle.md, not this protocol.

/// serve a driver's version refuses the hello, and the mismatch is loud at
