Daniel Samson 301bdcaf5b volume-manager: the flip — fat is spawned, confined, and handed its channel (V3b)
The load-bearing step. The FAT service stops acquiring its own volume: the
volume manager spawns it (per volume), defines its partition range on the
storage driver BEFORE it runs, and answers its startup hello with the
range-confined block channel over a new volume-manager protocol. fat never
finds its storage by name and never sees the whole device — establishment
by lineage, one layer up from the driver tree.

- New library/protocol/volume-manager: one verb, hello(volume-id) -> the
  block channel as the reply capability (the P0 reply-cap path).
- The volume manager becomes the confinement CONTROLLER: it defines the first
  range on usb-storage, so no other party can confine a filesystem. It
  supervises the filesystems it spawns and respawns one on death (the reap-
  and-rebuild the device manager proved, one layer up).
- fat: drops acquireVolume(device-manager); hellos the volume manager for its
  channel; reads its volume id from argv[1]. main takes process.Init now.
- init.csv no longer spawns fat (the volume manager does); protocol.csv
  rewires fat to be supervised by the volume manager (bind vfs, open
  volume-manager) and drops fat open device-manager.
- The block-range fixture boots registry + device-manager only (not the full
  tree), so the volume manager is absent and the fixture stays the sole
  confinement definer — otherwise the volume manager would take the
  controller first and refuse it.

Verified end to end (VM probes -> spawns fat -> confines it -> hands over the
channel -> fat mounts) and neutral: 18/18 across the fat family, logging,
shutdown, both IOMMU variants, usb restart, vfs, conformance, confinement.

# /system/configuration/init.csv — the services init (PID 1) starts at boot, in order.
#
# init reads this at startup and spawns each service supervised (restarting it on
# a crash, up to a cap). Startup order is top->bottom; shutdown is the reverse, so
# the logger (last) goes down first and its final drain still has the fat server
# and the whole storage chain alive underneath it. It is AUTHORITATIVE — there is
# no hardcoded fallback list; a missing file means no services are started.
#
# '#' starts a comment (whole-line or trailing); blank lines are ignored. The
# first field is the service binary path; any fields after it are the service's
# argv. Drivers are absent on purpose — the device manager discovers hardware and
# spawns those (see /system/configuration/devices.csv).
