systemd: the service manager as a module — holds node-service-manager and answers for the units in both scopes

The holder of the seat the controller seeds under novox/hq ADR 0177. Eight
verbs under the seat's name — units, status, start, stop, restart, enable,
disable, journal — each taking an optional scope, "system" by default or
"user" for the operator account's own manager, reached as
`systemctl --user --machine=<account>@` when the runtime is not that account.
One tool of its own, systemd_failed, for every failed unit in both scopes.
A package, a claim and a bundle; no container, no process: served by the node
tools runtime (ADR 0175) once it exists. `module check` passes against a
controller that carries the seat; the tools type-check against the SDK.

zsh: the shell as a module — package, the mesh's ~/.zshrc block, the login-shell seat and execute

The first module of the operator's environment (novox/hq to-be 37 §1, ADR 0173,
0176). A package, the mesh's default configuration as a block inside the
account's ~/.zshrc so the operator's own lines around it survive every push
(ADR 0174 as the host's `into: block` realises it), a `user` shape that makes
zsh the account's login shell, the `login-shell` seat declared with its one
verb, and a tools bundle: `execute` under the seat's name, `zsh_config` under
the module's. No container, no process: the tools are served by the node tools
runtime (ADR 0175), which does not exist yet — the bundle builds and the
manifest registers ahead of it. `module check` passes; the tools type-check
against the SDK.

Two things the manifest cannot yet say, left for the controller: the `user`
shape applies wherever the module is assigned, not only where it holds the
seat; and the runtime learns the account from MESH_OPERATOR_ACCOUNT, which
nothing sets yet.
