//! /system/services/init — the first user-space program, PID 1. Built as its own
//! freestanding binary (see build.zig), shipped on the boot volume at /system/services/init,
//! loaded by the bootloader, and started in ring 3 as a scheduled process by the
//! kernel (system/kernel/process.zig). It links against the shared user runtime
//! library `runtime` and talks to the kernel only through `runtime`'s system_call wrappers.
//!
//! It proves the C-convention heap works, then — as PID 1 — acts as the system's
//! **service supervisor**: it spawns the user-space services danos brings up at boot
//! (the VFS server, the device manager), and settles into a heartbeat so it stays
//! alive as the root of user space. Drivers are *not* its job: the device manager
//! discovers the hardware and spawns those. This is the service half of the
//! service/driver spawn split (docs/driver-model.md).

// test doubles as the heap regression test. (C code links the same heap via
