Issue 1975: no mesh tool read a node's kernel log, so ace's two hard freezes on 2026-11-11 could not be traced. The systemd module serves the seat verb kernel-log (journalctl --dmesg --boot=N under the same escalation as journal; boot 0 to -9999, refused before anything runs; journal's window, priority, match, 2000-line cap and redaction through one shared filter). journal now refuses a boot argument instead of reading this boot quietly. Prepare record and acceptance: issue 1975 note 2 (L1-L4, 1975/AC1-AC5).

Also fixes a trunk test fault found by this group's first check (issue 1975 note 3): modules/distribution holder_test.go still expected a repeated chunk 0 to be refused, while mesh-delivery 276412d7 (design 51 Publishing, 1966/AC203-1/2) makes it start the part afresh. Test only.

One delivery group with mesh-contracts fix/1975-kernel-log (the seat's definition): the systemd manifest is refused with either member alone.

go vet (both tags), go test, gofmt clean in modules/systemd and modules/distribution; the validator accepts the manifest with the group's seat.

systemd: serve kernel-log, the kernel's messages of one boot (issue 1975) 3ebcb15a4b

journalctl --dmesg --boot=N under the same escalation, window, priority, fixed-string match, 2000-line cap
and redaction as the journal verb (shapeLines is the one filter both use); a boot is 0 or a negative whole
number, refused otherwise before anything runs. No scope: the kernel belongs to no manager.

mesh-delivery's parts.Receiver.Take took a chunk 0 again on purpose (276412d7, design 51 Publishing, 1966/AC203-1,
AC203-2); the holder's test still expected it refused and failed on every run, on trunk too. The test now expects a
chunk out of sequence refused and a chunk 0 again taken.

Builds: design 51 Publishing, the bullet "The file travels in parts through the seat"; issue 1975's group check
