Daniel Samson 9f18d8340e kernel: tagged log ring — per-line pid/name/level records, klog_status
Replace the linear keep-earliest RAM buffer with a 512 KiB ring of
framed records (log-ring.zig, host-tested): every debug_write becomes
one record per payload line, stamped by the kernel with the sender's
pid, task name (its binary path), level, per-boot sequence number, and
monotonic timestamp. Attribution is structural — a payload cannot forge
another sender's tag, and newline injection lands inside the forger's
own next record. Oldest records are overwritten when full; sequence
gaps make the loss countable.

debug_write gains a level argument (err/warn/info/debug/raw; old
two-arg callers clamp to raw). klog_read becomes a stream-offset read
that fails once the cursor falls behind the ring's tail; the new
klog_status (#45) returns the cursors plus the boot wall-clock anchor —
what the logger service will name per-boot log directories with.

The log now guards itself with a dedicated spinlock (BKL -> log lock
order, never the reverse); panic paths use a bounded try-acquire and
fall back to sinks-only. Serial rendering keeps the historical
transcript byte-identical for kernel and legacy raw output; leveled
records get a kernel-rendered name prefix. log-flush/init's interim
drains start at the ring tail and write framed records until the logger
service replaces them.

//! system/services/log-flush — a one-shot that copies the kernel's in-memory
//! diagnostic log to a file on the mounted USB FAT volume, so the boot log
//! survives to be read on another machine. On a headless or real board there is
//! no host capturing serial, so without this the log is lost at power-off; this
//! is the on-disk equivalent of QEMU's `-serial file:`.
//!
//! It reads the whole kernel log back through `klog_read` (the RAM sink in
//! system/kernel/log.zig) and writes it to /mnt/usb/DANOS.LOG. The name is 8.3
//! (FAT short-name rule: base <= 8, extension <= 3) and lives at the mount root
//! (there is no mkdir on the FAT path yet). init spawns this once the boot
//! services are up; init itself repeats the flush at shutdown for a fuller log.
//!
//! If no USB volume is mounted — no stick, or the initial-ramdisk sweep that
//! spawns every bundled binary bare with no VFS — it waits briefly, then exits
//! silently, deranging no other test's output.
