Krzysztof kuhy Rudnicki b7523d1691 Bound every coverage-jail case with a timeout and closed stdin
Investigated whether this session caused the 11:33 hard freeze. It did
not, and the evidence is recorded in the evidence artifact:

- No OOM kill, no oom_reaper, no hung-task or soft-lockup message, and
  no kernel message AT ALL after 11:20. The log stops mid-line at
  11:33:15 -- a hard hang, not a process the kernel was fighting.
- Last commit 11:30:32; last jail trace 11:11:57, 21 minutes earlier.
  The session was idle when the machine died.
- Steam wrote a crash minidump at 11:31:10 and at-spi2 disabled an
  unresponsive app at 11:32:06, on an RTX 3090. Correlation only -- a
  hard hang leaves no log to prove cause.
- Nothing survived the reboot: no stray unshare/kcov, no leftover
  tmpdirs, no leaked mounts, and the live /etc and /usr/local/bin
  files keep their original dates.

Hardened anyway, because the jail had one genuinely unbounded
behaviour: a case could run forever. Two hangs yesterday came from a
`crontab -` fallback inheriting the caller's stdin.

Each case now runs under `timeout --kill-after=10s` (default 120s,
--timeout to override) with stdin from /dev/null, and a timed-out case
WARNS by name instead of being swallowed -- a silent timeout looks
identical to an unreachable line in the report. Verified: a `sleep 600`
subject now ends in 5s with --timeout 5s.

dot_resolver_install.sh still measures 39/39 = 100.00%.

# Measure a shell script's line coverage while it runs FOR REAL, inside a
# throwaway user+mount namespace.
#
# shell_coverage_jail.sh --subject <file> [options] -- <case> [<case>...]
#
# Why a namespace and not just PATH shims: PATH shims cannot intercept a bare
# `cat >/etc/foo` (there is no binary to shadow), and they cannot make the
# root half of `if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]]` execute. Measured on
# setup_night_lockdown.sh: PATH shims alone plateau at 81.58%; adding
# --map-root-user reaches 86.84%; bind-mounting every write target reaches
# 100.00% (38/38) with NO source changes and NO suppressions.
#
# Three facts that cost real time to find, all load-bearing:
#
# 1. --map-root-user ALONE does not grant writes to real-root-owned files.
# CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE inside a userns only covers files whose owner uid is
# mapped in, so /etc/... stays unwritable until it is bind-mounted.
# 2. The jail needs its own passwd/group/nsswitch. Inside the userns the
# invoking user does not resolve, so `id -u "$USER"` fails and aborts the
# subject under `set -e` long before the interesting code.
# 3. Mount only what the subject WRITES; preserve what it READS. A blanket
# jail that masked /usr/local/bin cut pacman_wrapper.sh from 75.00% to
# 28.95%, because the wrapper sources its sibling libs from there and
# took its "libraries missing" escape hatch. An over-aggressive mount
# looks exactly like unreachable code.
#
# Entry scripts must be executed in place: they resolve their libs via
# BASH_SOURCE and common.sh via `readlink -f "$0"`, so staging a copy into a
# temp dir (which works fine for a sourced lib) breaks them.

cat <<USAGE
Usage: $SCRIPT_NAME --subject <file> [options] -- <case> [<case>...]
--subject <file> the script to RUN (required)
--measure <name> basename of the file to measure coverage OF; defaults to
the subject. Differs when the subject is a test suite
and the file of interest is the lib that suite drives.
--bind <path> bind-mount <path> to an empty jail dir; repeatable.
Use for every path the subject WRITES. Do NOT bind a
path the subject READS from -- that masks its inputs.
--shim <name> additionally stub <name> on PATH; repeatable
--seed-dir <path> create <path> inside the jail; repeatable. Needed when a
subject targets a platform this host is not -- a Debian
script writing /etc/php/8.2/apache2/ finds nothing to
mirror on an Arch box.
--seed-file <path> create an empty file at <path> inside the jail
--timeout <dur> per-case wall-clock ceiling (default 120s)
--min <percent> fail below this (default 100)
-- <case>... one invocation each; "" means "no arguments"
Example:
$SCRIPT_NAME --subject setup_night_lockdown.sh \\
--bind /etc --bind /usr/local/bin --bind /var/lib \\
-- help status bogus setup unlock
