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.
