refactor(platform): migrate host and process consumers to neutral facades

[zackees]

Phase 8b of the platform-boundary refactor (#1314). Migrates the remaining host and process OS mechanics out of consumer crates into fbuild-core's per-OS selected trees behind the neutral facades.

Facade migrations

• Elevation seam — new fbuild_core::platform::process::{ElevationOutcome, launch_elevated} (Declined | Completed(exit_code); ERROR_CANCELLED → Declined; fail-closed Err on linux/macos). The ShellExecuteExW UAC self-relaunch mechanic moves from fbuild-cli/src/cli/usb_recovery.rs into fbuild-core/platform/windows/process.rs, SAFETY comments preserved. CLI policy stays in WindowsUacLauncher; windows-sys is deleted from fbuild-cli/Cargo.toml entirely — fbuild-cli now has zero OS cfg forks.
• deploy.rs: the cfg(windows)/cfg(not(windows)) recovery-launch split collapses to one unconditional path — decide_recovery_launch already refuses every launch off Windows/non-interactive/CI, so the old cfg split was behaviorally redundant.
• home_dir facade swaps in avr_build.rs, esp32_build.rs, enrich_boards.rs.
• debug.rs unified-test path de-cfg'd; library_spec.rs branched expectation handles C:/ vs /C:/; script_runtime_tests.rs WINDIR guard → system_exe_fallback_resolves("py").
• fbuild-core/Cargo.toml: windows-sys gains Win32_System_Threading, Win32_UI_Shell, Win32_UI_WindowsAndMessaging.

Boundary ledger: 33 → 12 rows

Regenerated via platform_boundary_research.py --write + enforce_platform_boundary.py --write. Phase 8b removes 21 rows (15 host + 6 process) — more than the 15 planned, because the elevation seam absorbed all six process rows too. The remaining 12 rows are all host_executable (esp_qemu.rs ×8, daemon emulator tests ×3, dev_daemon_namespace ×1) = phase 8c scope. Pinned count in ci/test_enforce_platform_boundary.py updated accordingly; dylint baseline regenerated.

Drive-by: repair 7 integration-test files broken since #800

bash test --full on clean base HEAD hard-fails (verified via stash): seven older integration files never installed the process-wide compile backend that #800 made mandatory ("compile_backend not installed"). Added the same install_test_compile_backend() helper the teensylc/stm32/teensy30 acceptance suites use — tokio::sync::OnceCell because a second concurrent CompileBackend::start() cannot win the zccache cache-root writer slot. Files: avr_build, esp32_build, clangd_check_parity, eh_frame_strip_esp32, nxplpc_build_flags, nxplpc_core_compile_commands, teensy_build.

Local --include-ignored outcomes after repair:

target	result
avr_build	5/5 green
cache_survives_tar_extract	3/3 green
clangd_check_parity	green (skip guard)
teensy_build	4/4 green (207 s — all four real builds, incl. the local-FastLED shadow test)
compile_many_stage2_perf	runs; perf assertion finally executing again — fails, tracked in #1346
eh_frame_strip_esp32, esp32_build, nxplpc_build_flags	repaired (the build now actually runs) but each exceeds the #806 900 s cap on this Windows machine — root-caused and tracked in #1347
nxplpc_core_compile_commands	same build-path class as the above; not individually demonstrated locally due to cargo fail-fast ordering

Known follow-ups (not buried)

• compile_many_stage2_perf oracle: unrunnable since #800; with backend installed, stage-2 wall ~6.5s fails 50%-of-stage-1 bound — #337 seed regression or stale baseline #1346 — stage-2 oracle: first real execution since perf(zccache) Phase 4 stage 2: embedded mandatory — delete FBUILD_ZCCACHE_EMBEDDED + wrapper fallback #800 fails its perf bound; seed regression or stale baseline.
• ESP32 integration suites exceed #806 900s cap on Windows; zccache persist_failed (tempdir nondeterminism) makes every framework rebuild cold #1347 — ESP32 integration suites vs the audit: blocking operations with no timeout in tests + benches (sub-issue of #802) #806 cap on Windows: sequential ~1500-file framework build (~4 s/file observed) plus zccache persist_failed ("same cache key produced different staged output bytes" — tempdir nondeterminism) and writer-slot contention ⇒ zero cache hits across all recent journal rotations.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change centralizes platform process operations, adds Windows elevation support, updates cross-platform tests, and removes obsolete platform-boundary ledger entries. Build integration tests now install one global compile backend per test process.

Changes

Platform boundary migration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Process facade and host implementations crates/fbuild-core/..., crates/fbuild-core/Cargo.toml	Adds elevation and executable-fallback APIs. Windows implements both APIs. Linux and macOS return platform-specific fallback or unsupported-operation results.
CLI recovery integration crates/fbuild-cli/src/cli/usb_recovery.rs, crates/fbuild-cli/src/cli/deploy.rs, crates/fbuild-cli/src/cli/debug.rs	Routes recovery through the shared elevation API, centralizes path quoting, and makes COM-port tests host-aware.
Cross-platform adoption and boundary ledger crates/fbuild-build-engine/src/script_runtime_tests.rs, crates/fbuild-config/..., crates/fbuild-library/..., ci/..., dylints/...	Uses platform facades for home-directory and executable checks, updates path expectations, and trims the platform-boundary baseline.

Compile backend test initialization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
AVR and ESP32 backend setup crates/fbuild-build/tests/avr_build.rs, crates/fbuild-build/tests/esp32_build.rs	Adds once-only global compile backend initialization before AVR and ESP32 builds.
Parity and performance backend setup crates/fbuild-build/tests/clangd_check_parity.rs, crates/fbuild-build/tests/compile_many_stage2_perf.rs, crates/fbuild-build/tests/eh_frame_strip_esp32.rs	Initializes the shared backend before parity, performance, and frame-stripping operations.
NXPLPC and Teensy backend setup crates/fbuild-build/tests/nxplpc_*, crates/fbuild-build/tests/teensy_build.rs	Adds guarded backend initialization before NXPLPC and Teensy orchestrator builds.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 5458b

The platform-facade refactor and integration-test repairs leave no actionable merge-blocking risk at the current head. Additional facade tests are useful follow-up but are not required to merge.

Add platform-aware tests for the new process facade.

The facade tests do not reference ElevationOutcome, launch_elevated, or system_exe_fallback_resolves. Test unsupported-host behavior and cover Windows result mapping through a non-interactive seam.
