jochen a018ebd1ca Pass -- before every unit, and give a unit back only when it is exactly as the mesh held it
mesh/merge-gate pass: builds mesh-host → ace, g14, novox, shanks; no bus step; every machine composes with the change as it did without (4 of 4 compose)
mesh/repo-check pass: its merge-check.sh passed
mesh/delivery superseded: a newer head of the same pull request
Third review of mesh-catalog #147.

A unit's name can now come from a setting (a template's instance), so every systemctl call that names a
unit passes `--` before it, and a name can never be read as an option.

On removal, a unit is started or enabled again only when it is exactly the stopped and disabled the mesh
held it to. A masked unit, or one somebody started or enabled since, is left as it is, and the report
says why. A restore that fails (the start refused, or the unit not running after it) puts back what this
attempt changed and is reported as waiting, so no apply is made fatal by it and the next one tries again.

The tests' fake service managers read systemctl's arguments in the shape they were written for
(oldShape); internal/system's own test holds the `--`.

jschoubben b94e0f9a77 The mesh's own ban chain is a ban wherever it hangs; the front end's record is cited as 0180 (hq ADR 0186)
The legacy reader required every path into a chain of refusals to come from a built-in whose policy
accepts. The home server's ban chain hangs off the container runtime's user chain, whose forward
policy the runtime set to DROP, so the machine reported the mesh's own intrusion prevention as a
rule set the mesh did not write. A chain is a ban when every refusal names its sources and the
chain accepts nothing — the rule the nftables side already used. A chain that accepts anything is
still not a ban. Fixture captured from the machine. The citations for the uninstalled front end move
to ADR 0180, which another session's renumber had left pointing at an unrelated record.

jschoubben 286865dfa7 A service the mesh asked to run is still running a moment later (hq ADR 0184)
The read-back raced the failure: a service manager returns when it has started the process, and a
daemon that refuses its configuration exits a fraction of a second later, so one look saw it alive.
fail2ban took 221ms on the control node and the apply reported "restarted" onto a dead daemon while
both public machines kept no bans at all. The host looks again, after that moment. A unit still
starting is accepted at both looks; a service asked to stop is not waited on.
