Zachery Aaron Shores-Chmielewski 23c829a9ba Enforce actor-owned Myelin control flow
Add a repository-owned rustc wrapper that enforces execution ownership and dependency boundaries during ordinary Cargo commands, with compile-pass and compile-fail policy contracts.

Move scheduling, timers, provider polling, provisioning, recovery, supervision, and shutdown decisions behind engine and actor APIs. Add deterministic component properties, stateful Myelin lifecycle coverage, persisted regression cases, and the bounded CI workflow.

Tighten resource ownership by cancelling telemetry collectors, terminating reply observers, bounding dashboard projections, and releasing process file descriptors, child observers, and inode-verified Unix socket paths on every exit path.

iroh-driver

iroh-driver is the iroh-backed transport bridge for the actorized distribution stack. It owns the concrete iroh endpoint, QUIC connections, relay configuration, peer authorization, and frame shuttling between iroh and swactor actor mailboxes.

Engine ownership

The driver runs on a caller-supplied swactor EngineHandle — the single engine that owns the node's Tokio substrate. All accepts, reads, dials, writes, retries, and teardown are scheduled through that handle; the driver stores no raw Tokio handle and performs no ambient-runtime detection (ENGINE_SPEC.md §7).

let driver = IrohDriver::with_engine(engine.handle(), config)?;

The driver validates that the engine provides the tasks, timers, and io capabilities before binding the endpoint or starting any background work (ENGINE_SPEC.md). Endpoint construction runs as an engine-hosted task; with_engine blocks on a synchronous channel until the endpoint is bound (or fails), so callers need not enter or possess the raw substrate runtime.

Engine-hosted progression

All adapter progression — actor-bridge ingress/egress, telemetry ingress, and edge ingress — is driven by an engine-hosted interval pump installed via install_actor_bridge_pump. Applications do not (and cannot) manually pump these adapters; the single engine owns progression for the node's lifetime (ENGINE_SPEC.md). snapshot is a pure-synchronous read of driver state, callable from any thread. The shutdown method closes the endpoint via an engine-hosted task, blocking on a synchronous channel until completion.
