deploy-provenance map: isolation credential evidence (body facts I1-I8)

Imagination for cut isolation-credential-evidence: systemd 257 prints
LoadCredential as [unprintable] for every unit, so observe_unit's comparison
never passes a target with no extra credential and proves nothing otherwise;
the rule moves to the delivered credential directory.

## Cut `isolation-credential-evidence`
Spec `idunn-deploy-provenance:cut_spec:cut-cut-isolation-credential-evidence.r1`,
at `112a7a5` (origin/main, live on Yggdrasil since 2026-10-24 11:29 UTC). It
serves Vili's admission (`motion-pipeline:cut_report:cut-vili-admission.h4`,
first deviation): every `idunn up vili` is refused before fencing.
### Body facts (probed read-only on Yggdrasil, 2026-10-24)
- I1. `idunn up vili` runs 6 and 7 failed with
`systemd workload isolation properties differ from the Idunn contract`, the
message of `observe_unit` (`src/drivers.rs:2975-3005`). Of its conjuncts,
only one differs on the failed Vili unit: `LoadCredential`. Idunn expects
`""` because Vili has no service credential besides the presence identity
(`service_credential_names` empty); systemd shows `[unprintable]`. Every
other conjunct matches, InaccessiblePaths included (one value across all
five idunn-vili/odin units).
- I2. systemd 257.13 `systemctl show -p LoadCredential` prints
`LoadCredential=[unprintable]` for every unit, whatever the credentials:
`ssh.service` and `systemd-journald.service` (not DynamicUser, zero
LoadCredential), the four failed `idunn-vili-*` units (zero), and the Odin
unit (one). The display form carries no information, so the conjunct was
vacuous whenever credentials existed and always false when none did. Odin
and StreamPixels passed only because each carries a regular credential.
- I3. The exact value is readable: D-Bus
`org.freedesktop.systemd1.Service.LoadCredential` (`busctl get-property`)
answers `a(ss) 0` for the Vili units and ssh, `a(ss) 1
"ODIN_TOPOLOGY_IDENTITY" "<path>"` for Odin.
- I4. What the workload can actually read is the delivered directory. On the
host, `/run/credentials/` holds a directory only for units with credentials
(getty, journald, Odin, StreamPixels service and web). Inside Odin's MainPID
root, `/run/credentials/<unit>/` holds exactly `ODIN_TOPOLOGY_IDENTITY`
(`-r--r-----+ root root`). The presence identity is a parent-only `OpenFile`
descriptor, never a credential.
- I5. The rule arrived whole in `1fc0dad` (2026-09-03, "Rebuild Idunn
deployment transaction authority"), with its twin clause in
`validate_launch_observation` (`:3468-3472`, `:3513-3516`); no later commit
touched it. No ruling or finding in any campaign concerns workload isolation
verification; gamecult-chat's foreign-workloads cut touched
`CREDENTIALS_DIRECTORY` reservation, not this check.
- I6. `SystemdWorkloadObservation` is persisted by previous Idunns in both
MessagePack encodings, compact (positional) included
(`persisted_systemd_observations_decode_as_the_systemd_variant`,
`:9915-9930`), so deleting the `load_credential` field shifts every later
slot of a live incumbent's record. The field is also in the drift list
(`:2462`) that `stop` (`:4064-4070`) uses to refuse stopping a changed
workload: changing what the field holds without leaving that list would make
the next Idunn refuse to stop the live Odin and StreamPixels incumbents.
- I7. Fixtures: the verbatim 257.13 `systemctl show` output of base's 27
properties for a Vili unit (presence identity only) and the Odin unit
(presence identity plus one service credential), captured 2026-10-24 into
this Imagination's scratchpad `fixtures/`.
- I8. The new rule holds for every live systemd incumbent: inside each
MainPID root the delivered entries equal its binding's `secret_files` keys
minus `GAMECULT_RUNTIME_PRESENCE_IDENTITY` (Odin 1, StreamPixels service 11,
StreamPixels web 1; key names compared, no values read). An Idunn restart onto
this cut re-observes them (`:3955-3970`) and passes.
### Decision
A property systemd cannot display does not belong in the comparison. The
invariant it reached for, that the workload holds exactly the credentials Idunn
delivered, is observed where it is decided: the entries of
`/run/credentials/<unit>` in the MainPID's root equal Idunn's service
credential names, absent directory equal to none. That covers
`LoadCredential`, `SetCredential`, `ImportCredential` and drop-ins alike, and
needs no new program. The D-Bus read (I3) is exact but sees only one of those
properties and adds a second systemd client and parser; rejected.
### Authority
Owner: `observe_unit` decides the credential rule, from the delivered
directory. `LoadCredential`'s display form is no longer read or compared; the
`load_credential` field is a retired wire slot, written empty, out of the drift
list, kept only so persisted records decode. Forbidden writers: the
`observe_unit` conjunct and the `validate_launch_observation` clause. Dropping
the slot waits on the next schema revision of the observation.
### Deploy
Idunn's body changes only through gamecult-ops
`scripts/install-idunn-yggdrasil-release.sh` (stage `idunn` only; unit and
bindings unchanged). After it, Vili's Hands reruns from step 4 of
`motion-pipeline:cut_report:cut-vili-admission.h4`'s undone list.
