admin fd4e177216 feat(mgmtplane): break-glass privsep-dir watchdog + mgmt_plane health (TASK G1) — v0.71.0
Prerequisite for felhom-sshd (H1). Closes the SPIKE-felhom-sshd §8 lockout: a
second sshd's RuntimeDirectory=sshd removed the SHARED /run/sshd privsep dir and
took stock sshd on :22 down (sessions reset after KEXINIT).

Host artifacts (configs/, installed by felhom-host-install):
- felhom-privsep.tmpfiles: layer 1, boot-persistent /run/sshd owned by no unit
- felhom-mgmt-watchdog.sh/.service/.timer: layer 2, AGENT-INDEPENDENT ~60s heal
  (stat-first recreate + reset-failed sshd only if failed + heal-marker); never
  RuntimeDirectory=, never restarts stock sshd, never touches a healthy dir.

Go (internal/mgmtplane): read-only Reporter → additive omitempty mgmt_plane
heartbeat stanza (privsep_dir_ok/sshd_reachable/healed_recently/privsep_healed_at),
wired via Collector.SetMgmtPlaneReporter. Non-hollow tests + red-proofs.

# felhom-mgmt-watchdog — the DUMB, agent-INDEPENDENT management-plane healer (TASK G1).
#
# WHY THIS EXISTS: /run/sshd is OpenSSH's compiled-in privilege-separation directory, SHARED by
# every sshd on the host. If it goes missing, sshd's listener stays up but every new session RESETS
# right after SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT — a management-plane lockout on an otherwise-healthy box
# (SPIKE-felhom-sshd-2026-07-05 §8, caused live by a second unit's `RuntimeDirectory=sshd` cleanup).
# The tmpfiles.d entry (felhom-privsep.tmpfiles) PREVENTS the known cause; this script AUTO-HEALS any
# novel cause with ZERO login and ZERO dependency on the felhom-agent binary (so it self-corrects even
# when the agent is down — the whole point). It is run by felhom-mgmt-watchdog.timer every ~60s.
#
# CONTRACT (all four are load-bearing):
# 1. STAT-FIRST / IDEMPOTENT — a HEALTHY /run/sshd is NEVER touched (no mkdir/chmod/chown call), so
# steady state is zero mutation and the dir's mtime is preserved. Only a MISSING or
# wrong-mode/owner dir is corrected.
# 2. reset-failed the STOCK sshd ONLY when it is in the `failed` state (a start-limit lockout) —
# never otherwise, and NEVER `restart` it (mkdir alone restores it; PID stays, spike-proven).
# 3. HEAL MARKER — writes an RFC3339 UTC timestamp to $MARKER only on a real heal, so the agent can
# REPORT the condition to the hub (a recurring clobber must surface BEFORE it becomes a lockout).
# 4. NO `RuntimeDirectory=` anywhere in this feature (that IS the incident cause) — the unit that
# runs this script must not declare one either.
#
# Touches host /run + the stock sshd unit ONLY — no guests (pool-scoping is moot here). Fail-safe:
# any single step failing is logged and does not abort the others (`|| true`); the next tick retries.
