A pass over the whole branch before merge, mostly in libink since
that is the new code and the part exposed to the wire. Grouped here
rather than scattered so the review is easy to read in one place.
libink parser and dispatch:
- Bound reader lengths so a 32-bit size_t can't wrap a wire length
past the guard and read out of bounds. Reachable pre-auth on any
bus, so it matters on the 32-bit targets Finit runs on.
- Drop a peer when a reply send fails instead of limping on with a
half-written frame; a built-in whose send failed used to fall
through and put a second frame on the wire.
initctl:
- Copy a D-Bus error name out of the reply before closing the client;
the reply points into memory the close frees. Both error paths now
share one helper so this can't creep back.
Authorization:
- Take the caller's groups from the kernel (SO_PEERCRED plus
SO_PEERGROUPS) rather than getpwuid()/getgrouplist(), which go
through NSS and can block PID 1 on a slow LDAP or SSSD backend.
The check is now a lookup against the group resolved once at init,
with no NSS and no 256 KiB array on the stack. A caller reaching
us through a broker carries no group set, so system-bus privileged
methods are root-only; the local bus keeps group support. See
libink/README.md for the note on lifting that.
Shutdown:
- Call dbus_exit() from the shutdown path so the server, its peers,
and the socket are let go cleanly. The teardown existed but nobody
called it.
Tests, CI, docs:
- A fuzz target for the message parser, run as a quick sweep in the
suite and properly under libFuzzer in CI, with the corpus carried
between runs. The -as-uid tests drop groups the way a login does
so SO_PEERGROUPS sees the right set, and widen the test socket to
reach the per-method check behind the 0660 gate. Bring the GitHub
actions up to versions that run on Node 24, and tidy a few small
things a /simplify pass turned up.

Finit speaks D-Bus itself now and claims org.finit on the system bus
when it finds one, but nothing in a default build ever brings that bus
up. The plugin that does was opt-in, so the built-in support sat idle
unless the integrator knew to ask for both halves.
Defaulting it on is only reasonable if the result stays the admin's to
change, and a service registered from C through conf_save_service() is
not: it lands in the run path where it cannot be overridden or emptied
out. So the daemon moves to 20-dbus.conf and its directories to
tmpfiles.d/dbus.conf, the same way hotplug and every other daemon we
ship them for. The plugin keeps only what has to look at the running
system, the stale pidfile and the machine UUID.
Those directories are no longer chowned to messagebus. tmpfiles.d
skips a line whose user does not exist rather than falling back, so
the plugin's messagebus/dbus/root ladder has no equivalent there, and
dbus-daemon binds its socket before dropping privileges anyway.
The plugin already bows out where there is no dbus-daemon installed,
so systems that never wanted a bus are unaffected, and
--disable-dbus-plugin is there for those that have one and would still
rather init left it alone.

Runlevel and version are state, not actions, so they belong behind
org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties rather than another method each.
Finit also claims org.finit on the system bus when it finds one, so
ordinary D-Bus clients can reach it without knowing about
/run/finit/bus. Opportunistic on purpose: no dbus-daemon is a normal
state for the systems Finit runs on, not an error to report.

The line-based format has had the flag since v4.4 (issue #286), where
it prepends -p to the built-in getty, which turns it into login -p and
passes the environment on. The block format was written from the three
documented tty variants and the flags listed in the tty documentation,
and passenv was in neither, so it was left out. Converting a tty line
that used it therefore lost it, with nothing said.
It only reaches the built-in getty. An external getty is handed its
arguments through command, so there is nowhere to put a -p, and the
setting is refused with a warning rather than quietly ignored.

The migration guide told anyone holding the repeated-stanza idiom for a
per-platform service to split the variants across files or stay on the
line-based format, because a block title is an identity and the
variants have to share one barrier. provides is the answer, so the
guide converts that shape now instead of routing around it, and the
header of 10-hotplug.conf.in no longer points at the workaround.

The migration guide covered a stanza at a time, which is the wrong
shape for the two idioms that repeated a whole stanza. One of them,
several candidate binaries for one service, is now a command list.
The other, one service gated differently per platform, has no block
equivalent: those blocks share an identity because they share the
barrier condition downstream services wait for, so they cannot be
given separate titles. For that one the guide says to split the
variants across files, or leave that file in the line-based format,
which Finit still reads.
The udevd example in services.md taught the merge-broken form, and
system/10-hotplug.conf.in pointed readers at it for their syslogd.
Also lists libConfuse among the build dependencies. It has been
mandatory since the new .conf format landed, and build.md still said
two libraries. And corrects the note on variable expansion: it is
${VAR} that libconfuse expands when the file is read, with
${VAR:-default} supported. A plain $VAR reaches the service, which is
what makes `command = "syslogd -F $SYSLOGD_ARGS"` work with envfile.

* src/pid.c: note the stale-pidfile-cleanup exception to the
documented "Finit does not touch pid:! pidfiles" rule.
* doc/config/services.md: add a user-facing paragraph on the same.
* doc/ChangeLog.md: add Unreleased section covering this PR --
stale pidfile cleanup, restart log with signal name and core
dump flag, and the SIGUNKOWN typo fix.

Some 'respawn' type services, like gettys, may hog the CPU in error
states if the service immediately exits. E.g., due to missing dev.

Cgroups v2 limits are hierarchical - a process is constrained by the
most restrictive limit in its ancestor chain, not just its immediate
cgroup. This patch updates cg_conf() to walk up the hierarchy and
report effective limits by comparing values at each level.
This fixes incorrect "max" (unlimited) reporting in 'initctl --json
status', 'initctl cgroup', and 'initctl top' when child cgroups have
no explicit limits but parents do.
For memory.max and cpu.max: take minimum (most restrictive)
For memory.min: take maximum (most protection)
