Daniel Samson 1379b699f3 init: /protocol replaces the ServiceId registry
A protocol is reached by name now, not by a compile-time integer. Init is
PID 1 and already knows which binary it started, so init serves /protocol
as a vfs backend: bind claims a contract with the provider's endpoint
attached, open answers with that endpoint as the reply's capability, and
readdir lists what is bound with the task and binary behind it. The kernel
reserves the prefix — nothing may mount over it, under it, or unmount it —
and ServiceId, ipc_register and ipc_lookup are gone, their syscall numbers
left vacant.

A bind is authorized by who the caller *is*: the kernel-stamped binary
together with the supervising task's identity, matched against
/system/configuration/protocol.csv. Identity, not spelling — spawn is
ungated, so an attacker can run any bundled binary, and a name-only rule
would have let it launder grants through an init of its own making. A name
a live process holds is refused to everyone else; a dead one's is released.

Three review rounds against a hostile ring-3 process found what 108 green
tests could not, because the suite contains no attacker. Publishing init's
supervision endpoint as the registry put PID 1's mailbox in every process's
hands, where two forged bytes reached the shutdown path: privileged traffic
is now believed only from the task that holds the contract it speaks for.
A capability arriving on a request outlived every path that ignored it,
one handle per call until the table was full — in init, and in the harness
ten services share — so the arriving capability is owned by the turn and
released unless a handler says otherwise. And the kernel let anyone holding
an endpoint handle aim signals, timers, exit notices and interrupts at it:
binding now requires having created it.

Suite 108/108. The new protocol-registry case asserts eleven properties,
each one an attack that must fail.

//! The logger service — the per-process log persister.
//!
//! Drains the tagged kernel log ring (`klog_read`/`klog_status`) and
//! demultiplexes it into **one file per process** on the flash volume:
//!
//! <base>/<boot-stamp>/<binary-path>.log
//! e.g. /volumes/usb/system/logs/2026-07-21T101530Z/system/services/fat.log
//!
//! The boot stamp is the wall-clock time of boot (from klog_status), so one
//! boot session is one self-contained directory; the kernel's own records go to
//! kernel.log. Records carry the sender's pid and binary path, stamped by the
//! kernel — the logger trusts the ring, never the payload.
//!
//! Storage is best-effort and late: until the FAT volume mounts, the ring
//! simply buffers (it holds a full boot many times over), and the first drain
//! writes the whole backlog. The storage stack's own records are captured the
//! same way — services never write their own log files (the fat service
//! logging through itself would rendezvous-deadlock; the ring sidesteps that
//! by design).
//!
//! The logger announces itself ONCE (a periodic status line would feed the
//! very stream it drains — self-sustaining churn). Lost records surface as an
//! explicit "-- N records lost --" line derived from sequence-number gaps.
//!
//! Durability: files are opened create-once and kept open across a burst, then
//! all closed after a quiet period (~2 s) — each close is the fat server's
//! SCSI SYNCHRONIZE CACHE, so data-at-risk is bounded by the last busy burst
//! without thrashing the device on every record. `on_terminate` does a final
//! drain and closes everything, so an orderly shutdown loses nothing (init
//! stops the logger FIRST — reverse boot order — while fat is still up).
