feat(users)!: --class human|server becomes --root-door closed|open

The trait was named for who lives on a box; what it decides is whether
root SSH stays open as the control plane's automation door. Those are
different questions, and `dev-server` proved it: an unattended VM-host
appliance nobody lives on, correctly class=human because its root door
must close. After #76 gave `-server` the job of naming the machine
family, that box carried a suffix saying server and a trait saying
human. `dev-server --root-door closed` says what is true, once.

Unlike #76's role rename this field is read back on live machines, so
the compat read is mandatory rather than courteous: one resolver,
root_door_of, reads both vocabularies and every consumer goes through
it — close-root's gate, apply's note, and bootstrap-tenant's
machine-marker guard, which used the presence of `class=` as its "is
this a real fleet machine?" test and would otherwise have let a tenant
converge clobber a live box. New markers are written as `root-door=`
only. Markers carrying both fields in disagreement, or neither, fail
closed with a re-run-bootstrap repair.

Fixture markers are kept deliberately at the retired spelling (the
convention #76's pre-rename-cp fixture established) and pinned at both
consumers; deleting the compat arm turns ten checks red.

Closes #77

### Changed
- **BREAKING: `--class human|server` is now `--root-door closed|open`** (#77) —
the trait was named for who *lives on* a box; what it decides is one thing,
and it is not occupancy: whether root SSH stays open as the control plane's
automation door, or `rig users close-root` shuts it once named operators can
get in. The roles had been saying so for a while. `dev-server` is an
unattended VM-host appliance — nobody lives there, operators visit it to mint
boxes and leave — and by occupancy it is plainly a server. It was
`class=human` anyway, and correctly so, because operators enter it *as
themselves* and its root door must close. The trait was right; its name
described the wrong axis.
That stayed cheap until a second thing wanted the word "server". After #76
the `-server` suffix names the machine *family*, so `dev-server` carried a
suffix saying server and a trait saying human, and nothing in the name told a
reader that the two words were answering unrelated questions. `dev-server
--root-door closed` says exactly what is true, and `-server` means one thing
everywhere. The values moved with the name: `human``closed`, `server`
`open`, and the marker field follows as `root-door=`.
Other names were considered. `--root-door open|closed` describes a
*destination* rather than the state at bootstrap time — bootstrap leaves root
SSH open on every box, and the door only shuts later, when `close-root` runs
— so `--root-door closes|stays` was on the table for naming the fate as a
verb, as was `--automation-door yes|no` for naming the thing itself. Both were
rejected in favour of the plainer pair: the marker is already a declaration of
*intent* rather than a report of observed state everywhere else in this repo
(`host=yes` claims a box hosts VMs; #58 settled that the marker's claim wins
over probing the machine), so a trait that states the door's designed end
state is consistent with how every other field is read. Every string that
prints the trait says "once operators exist" or names `close-root` explicitly,
so the tense never has to be inferred.
**Old markers still resolve, permanently, and that is the substance of this
change.** Unlike #76's role rename — role names are informational, nothing
reads them back — this field is written into `/etc/rig/role` and read *from*
there on live machines, where it gates `rig users close-root`. Every box
bootstrapped before this carries `class=human` or `class=server` and carries
it until someone re-bootstraps it, which for a fleet is never. Dropping the
old read would have broken in both directions at once and both are incidents:
a machine whose door is supposed to close loses the ability to close it, and
— through `bootstrap-tenant`'s machine-marker guard, which used the presence
of `class=` as its "is this a real fleet machine?" test — a live box stops
looking like a machine at all, so a tenant converge sails past the refusal
that exists to protect it and clobbers its marker. That second one is the
fail-*open* direction and was the least obvious part of the change.
So one resolver, `root_door_of`, reads both vocabularies, and every consumer
goes through it — close-root's gate, apply's root-SSH note, and the tenant
guard — because a compat read that lives at three call sites is three chances
to drift. `root-door=` wins where both fields are present and agree;
`class=` answers alone on every pre-#77 marker. A marker carrying **both and
disagreeing** resolves to a refusal rather than a winner: bootstrap writes one
line fresh and never produces that state, so a marker in it was hand-edited,
and rig declines to arbitrate between two equally-authored claims about a root
door. A marker naming **neither** refuses too, unchanged from before. Both
refusals fail closed, which here means the door stays open and the operator is
told to re-run bootstrap — never a door welded shut on a machine whose only
entrance it was.
**New markers are written in the new vocabulary only.** Writing both would
keep an old rig reading a new marker, but it would entrench the retired
spelling on every box rig ever converges and make the disagreement case
reachable from rig's own hand instead of only from a text editor. The compat
obligation runs the other way and only the other way: new rig reads old
markers. The bounded consequence to know about is downgrade — flipping a
box back to a pre-#77 rig with `rig use` leaves that older code unable to
recognize the new marker; the flip already WARNS on a bootstrapped host (#35),
and re-running bootstrap under whichever rig you settle on rewrites the line.
The suite proves the compat read rather than asserting it. Fixture markers are
kept **deliberately** at the retired spelling — byte for byte as a real
pre-#77 box reads, the same convention #76's `pre-rename-cp` fixture
established — and pinned at both consumers: `close-root` still passes on
`class=human` and still *refuses* on `class=server`, with today's refusal text
naming today's flag, and the tenant guard still recognizes a pre-#77 machine
marker as a machine. Deleting the compat arm turns ten of them red.

`dev-server` is `class=human`, which reads like a contradiction and is not:
the suffix names the family, the class names the root-SSH door policy, and
operators enter a dev box as themselves so `close-root` shuts its door. The
two axes genuinely share the word "server", which is a wart — #77 renames the
class trait to what it actually controls, and is kept separate because it

#### The root-door trait was renamed, and old markers still resolve
This trait was `--class human|server` until
[#77](https://github.com/heavy-duty/rig/issues/77). `class` named who *lived
on* the box; what it actually decides is whether root SSH stays open as the
control plane's automation door. Those are different questions, and the roles
proved it: `dev-server` is an unattended VM-host appliance — nobody lives
there — yet it was `class=human`, correctly, because operators enter it as
themselves and its root door must close. After #76 gave `-server` a second
job (naming the machine *family*), `dev-server` carried a suffix saying server
and a trait saying human, and nothing in the name said which axis was which.
`--root-door closed|open` names the axis rig actually branches on.
**This is not a cosmetic rename, and it is not a hard cut.** Unlike role
names — which nothing reads back — this trait is written into `/etc/rig/role`
and read *from* there on live machines, where it gates `rig users close-root`.
Every box bootstrapped before #77 carries `class=human` or `class=server` and
carries it **forever**, until someone re-bootstraps it; nothing migrates a
fleet. So rig **reads both spellings, permanently**:
| marker says | resolves to | means |
|---|---|---|
| `root-door=closed` | closed | the current spelling |
| `root-door=open` | open | the current spelling |
| `class=human` | closed | pre-#77, still honored |
| `class=server` | open | pre-#77, still honored |
| both, agreeing | that value | one claim said twice |
| both, **disagreeing** | refusal | rig will not pick a winner — re-run bootstrap |
| neither | refusal | no door policy to act on — re-run bootstrap |
New markers are written in the **new vocabulary only**. Writing both would
keep an old rig reading a new marker, but it would also entrench the retired
spelling on every box rig ever converges and make the disagreement row
reachable from rig's own hand rather than only from a text editor. The compat
obligation runs the other way: new rig reads old markers, because those exist
in the field and nothing will rewrite them.
The two refusal rows are **fail-closed** on purpose. A marker that names no
door policy, or names two that disagree, leaves rig unable to say whether root
here is a human's bad habit or the fleet's management plane — and the safe
error is a door that stays open and a loud instruction to re-run bootstrap,
never a door welded shut on a machine whose only entrance it was.
**Where this diverges from #17's original table:** that table let the
`runner-server` role close root ("no Coolify involved"). The class model supersedes
the per-role call: runner is `class=server` — an automation identity, not a
person's box — and on every server-class machine root SSH is the management

# into policy; this function has none.
#
# WHY THE COMPAT READ IS NOT OPTIONAL, and why it is here rather than at each
# call site. #77 renamed the trait because `class=human|server` was named for
# who lives on the box while what it decides is whether root SSH stays open as
# the control plane's automation door — the axis that made `dev-server` a
# `class=human` box, a suffix and a trait that read as a contradiction. But
# unlike #76's role rename, this field is not informational: it is written into
# /etc/rig/role and read back on live machines, where it gates `rig users
# close-root`. Every box bootstrapped before this change carries `class=` and
# carries it FOREVER, until someone re-bootstraps it — there is no migration
# step that reaches a fleet. So dropping the old read breaks in both directions
# at once, and both are incidents: a machine whose door should close stops
# being able to close it (close-root refuses on a marker it no longer
# understands), and — through bootstrap-tenant's machine-marker guard, which
# used `class=` as its "this is a machine" detector — a real fleet box stops
# looking like a machine at all and a tenant converge will happily clobber it.
# One resolver, consulted everywhere the trait is read, is what keeps those
# two readings from drifting apart.
#
# BOTH FIELDS PRESENT is a state bootstrap never writes — it writes one line,
# fresh, in the new vocabulary only — so a marker carrying both was
# hand-edited, and the two answers are a question about intent that rig cannot
# settle. Agreement is taken (it says one thing twice); disagreement resolves
# to `conflict` and every caller fails CLOSED on it, because the alternative is
# picking a winner between two equally-authored claims about a root door. The
# repair is the same one the rest of the marker family names: re-run bootstrap,
# which rewrites the line whole.
#

# --- the pre-#77 vocabulary, on live markers (#77) ---------------------------
# THIS is the block that makes #77 safe to ship, and it is not a formality.
# Unlike #76's role rename, the root-door trait is written into /etc/rig/role
# and read BACK by this gate, so every box bootstrapped before the rename
# carries `class=human|server` and carries it until someone re-bootstraps it —
# which, for a fleet, is never. A gate that stopped understanding that spelling
# would fail in both directions and both are incidents: `class=human` boxes
# (whose whole point is that root closes) would lose the ability to close it,
# and `class=server` boxes would... also refuse, but for the wrong reason,
# which is luck rather than design and would evaporate the moment the fallthrough
# arm changed.
#
# So the fixtures below stay DELIBERATELY at the retired spelling, byte for
# byte as a real pre-#77 box's marker reads — the same reason #76's
# `pre-rename-cp` fixture keeps `role=control-plane`. Do not "modernize" them:
# updating these fixtures to the new vocabulary would delete the only evidence
# that the compat read works, and the suite would stay green while the field
# broke. The pairs assert the OLD spelling produces the SAME verdict as its new
# equivalent above, refusal text included.
