fill watch: one warning per filesystem (R-1371) — committed, not released
On a box whose guest has one data volume the two built-in fill targets, "/"
(the controller's overlay on the Docker data volume) and /mnt/sys_drive, are one
filesystem. The target list was de-duplicated by path only, so one fill would
send two warnings under two names.

fillTargets now keeps one target per filesystem; the first stays (app area,
system area, drives). The identity is system.FilesystemKey, not st_dev alone:
inside the container "/" is an overlay with its own device number, so an
overlay path takes the device of a Docker-kept file on the data-root
(/etc/hostname, /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf). Measured read-only on demo-hp
9201/9202 and the N100 on 2026-11-10.

Tests: TestR1371_* (3), TestFilesystemKey_* (2). Red seen three times.
No version, no image, no floor: it waits for a release session.

// Which filesystem does a path lie on? — the identity the fill watch de-duplicates by (R-1371).
//
// WHY st_dev ALONE IS NOT THE ANSWER. Inside the controller's container "/" is an OVERLAY. An overlay has its own
// device number and its own filesystem id, and both differ from the filesystem it lies on — while statfs reports that
// filesystem's size and free space. Measured 2026-11-10 on demo-hp (guests 9201, 9202) and the N100 (felhom.eu
// documentation/audits/space-list-2026-11-10/evidence/extra/fs-identity.txt):
//
// / type=overlayfs dev=139 blocks=18016108 free=10674453
// /mnt/sys_drive type=ext2/ext3 dev=64519 blocks=18016108 free=10674452
// /etc/hostname type=ext2/ext3 dev=64519 (the same on /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf)
//
// One filesystem, two device numbers. The size-and-free numbers cannot be the identity either: the two `free` values
// above are from ONE read loop and already differ by one block — a filesystem that is filling is being written.
//
// THE RULE. A path that is not on an overlay is identified by its device number. A path on an overlay is identified by
// the device number of a file Docker itself keeps on its data-root and bind-mounts into every container
// (dockerDataRootAnchors): the container's overlay lies on that same data-root. If no anchor can be read, there is NO
// key — and a caller must then treat the path as a filesystem of its own (one warning too many, never one too few).
//
// LIMITS, stated: this holds for a container that Docker runs with Docker's own /etc files (the product's only
// shape). A container whose /etc/hostname is bind-mounted from another filesystem by hand would get the wrong key.
// dockerDataRootAnchors are the files Docker writes under <data-root>/containers/<id>/ and bind-mounts into the
// container. Any one of them names the data-root's real device.
var dockerDataRootAnchors = []string{"/etc/hostname", "/etc/hosts", "/etc/resolv.conf"}

// this process can tell, and ok=false when it cannot tell.

// overlay says whether a path lies on an overlay; both report ok=false for a path they cannot read.
