Phase 3: prove 100% shell coverage is reachable via a namespace jail

Measurement-only. No production file changed.

The gating question was whether the campaign's constraints are jointly
satisfiable: 100% line coverage over ALL .sh files with no suppressions.
Phase 1 measured effecting code at 0% under PATH shims, which implied
either forbidden suppressions or source seams in 17+46 files.

They are satisfiable. A user+mount namespace reaches 100% with zero
source changes: --map-root-user makes require_root fall through, and
bind-mounting each write target makes installer writes land in the jail.
setup_night_lockdown.sh went 81.58% (PATH shims) -> 86.84% (userns) ->
100.00% (38/38, all mounts).
