Dan Claude Van Damme c44a645670 fix(users): close-root no-op must prove the door, not the file
The clean-file fast path exited before the sshd -T assertion, so matching
bytes alone bought the 'root already closed' claim. Two ways that lies: an
earlier-sorting drop-in wins the first-wins fight while our file sits
pretty, and a prior run that died between install and restart leaves a
daemon that never read the file — sshd -T can't see that one either, since
it re-parses disk rather than interrogating the running daemon.

Now the no-op is taken only when the bytes match AND systemd says sshd
started strictly after the newest mtime across everything sshd reads (main
config, drop-in dir, drop-ins); anything less restarts behind the same
sshd -t gate, and the effective-config assertion runs on every path before
any success claim. Harness pins both: assert-before-claim ordering and the
daemon-start-vs-config-mtime proof.

Addresses PR #27 review (clean-file fast path convergence).

usage: rig users close-root
Shuts the root SSH door: installs /etc/ssh/sshd_config.d/00-rig-users.conf
carrying exactly `PermitRootLogin no`, which beats bootstrap's drop-in by
first-wins include order.
Human class ONLY. On class=server, root SSH is the control plane's (Coolify's)
automation identity — closing it severs fleet management — so close-root
refuses there, with no --force. It also refuses without a role marker (re-run
rig bootstrap; never shut the root door blind) and refuses while no rig-admin
member holds a login sshd would plausibly accept — authorized_keys present
and non-empty, home/.ssh/keys owned by the user and not group/world-writable
(sshd's StrictModes rejects the key otherwise), a real login shell, account
not expired. The refusal names which check failed, per candidate. Run rig
users apply first; never close the only door.
Before running, verify your admin login in a SEPARATE session — `ssh
<admin>@<box>` while this one stays open. Root SSH is the door being welded
shut; the admin door must be proven, not presumed.
Run as root. Convergent: once root is closed, a re-run is a clean no-op.
