v0.115.0 — R-116: the backup-target flag reaches the row the controller keys on

Session C measured it live: a drive whose device vanished raised the GENERIC
storage_disconnected while its return raised the SPECIFIC
backup_target_restored -- an alarm and an all-clear an operator cannot pair.
backup_target_absent never fired at all.

The mechanism is not what the Session-C audit first said, and the difference
decides the fix. RoleForStorage returns RoleSystem whenever backingDevice == ""
(internal/storage/role.go:180-181). When the device goes, exactMountDevice
fails, BackingDevice becomes "", the target row's role flips to system and it
loses its guest path -- but keeps its MountPath. The union loop skips any drive
whose MountPath is already seen, so the registry row is DEDUPED AWAY ENTIRELY.
/disks carries no row with that guest path, so isTarget[guestPath] is a MISSING
KEY, not a false. Setting BackupTarget on the union row -- the obvious fix --
could not have worked, because that row is not emitted when the alarm is needed.
The audit is corrected in the same push.

Fix: on the Observe row only, carry the guest path when the row IS the backup
target and its role flipped because the device vanished.

Three gates, verified not assumed:
- t.BackingDevice == "" restricts it to the vanished-device flip; a genuinely
  system-BACKED storage has a real device and is excluded, so a dir storage at
  /mnt/<name> on the root disk cannot acquire a guest path.
- Case B, the common fresh-box shape, is safe twice over: its target is the
  builtin local on /var/lib/vz and StablePathForRaw returns "" for anything not
  exactly /mnt/<name>, so nothing is set even before the gates apply.
- It cannot make the gate read an absent drive as PRESENT. BoundUnderParent is
  assigned at exactly two sites, both inside guest-path blocks a system-role row
  never enters, so it stays false and planDriveGates computes false || false.
  Pinned by TestAbsentTargetRowDoesNotRegisterPresence -- getting this backwards
  would have silenced the alarm the fix exists to raise.

The :213-214 boundary stands: no system or backup mount gains a guest path.

Tests +5, asserting the emitted /disks JSON through a faithful copy of the
controller's driveTargetByPath, because the failure class is "the value is on
the wrong row". Red-proof: removing the block fails with "isTarget[...] is a
MISSING KEY"; reverted byte-identical.

Filed not closed: the two-row shape that produced this survives.

// R-116 — the backup-target flag must be reachable from the row the CONTROLLER keys on.
//
// THE DEFECT. The controller resolves the drive-absent alarm by the registered StoragePath, which for
// an external drive is the GUEST path. When the device vanishes, Observe's exactMountDevice fails, so
// BackingDevice becomes "" and RoleForStorage returns RoleSystem (role.go:180-181) — the guest-path
// block is skipped and the flag-bearing row loses its guest path. It keeps its MountPath, so the union
// loop DEDUPES the registry row away, and /disks carries NO row with that guest path at all.
// driveTargetByPath then has no entry, isTarget[guestPath] is a MISSING KEY, and the specific
// backup_target_absent alarm cannot fire — the generic storage_disconnected goes out instead, while
// the RETURN (rows rejoined) fires the specific recovery. An operator gets a pair they cannot match.
// Measured live: felhom.eu audits/SESSION-C-2026-07-29.md §5.
