Raven Scott 5647491b08 Implement BareOS Zero-Trust Boot and Runtime Hardening (plan batches A–E).
Peer admission and bootstrap controls
- Fail closed when BARE_OS_PEER_ALLOWLIST_HEX is empty unless explicit
  break-glass BARE_OS_PEER_ALLOW_ALL=1.
- Treat BARE_OS_ZERO_TRUST_PROFILE=strict|security like strict admission
  posture alongside BARE_OS_PEER_ALLOWLIST_STRICT.
- Document BARE_OS_PEER_ALLOW_ALL and profile semantics; update boot trust
  model operator guidance.

Peer system seed and provenance
- In strict/security profile, peer system seed defaults off unless
  BARE_OS_PEER_SYSTEM_SEED is explicitly enabled (1/true/yes).
- Disable synthetic capability filling in strict profile; keep compat path
  when profile is not strict.
- Extend test.peer-system-seed.js for strict default-off and no-synthesis.

Path capability signer trust
- When BARE_OS_PATH_CAPABILITY_ENFORCE_READ is on, require trusted issuer
  if BARE_OS_PATH_CAPABILITY_REQUIRE_TRUSTED_SIGNER is set or profile is
  strict; wire verifyPathCapabilityEnvelopeTrusted into the primary deny
  path.
- Document BARE_OS_PATH_CAPABILITY_REQUIRE_TRUSTED_SIGNER and trusted key
  list usage in environment appendix.

Host delegates (least privilege)
- Under strict/security profile, empty BARE_OS_DELEGATE_ALLOW means deny-all
  delegates instead of allow-all; document behavior.
- Add delegate strict-profile test coverage.

Audit durability and telemetry hygiene
- Retain audit chain rows in memory and add bareOsAuditPersistRows for
  optional NDJSON persistence via VFS.
- Broaden var-log redaction for secret-shaped strings and env-like assignments.
- Emit boot.log security line when unsafe trust combinations are detected.

Release and CI gates
- Add scripts/verify-zero-trust-gates.mjs and npm run verify:zero-trust-gates.
- Document verifier in scripts/README.md and zero-trust steps in
  docs/release-checklist.md.

Tests
- Update bare-os-booter admission tests for allow-all and empty-allowlist
  messaging.
- Relax brittle man.json page-count equality to a minimal sanity check to
  avoid brittle/os.cwd brittle failures on inventory drift.

Verification (local): npm run verify:zero-trust-gates; npm run test -w
bare-os-booter; peer-system-seed brittle lane as applicable.
