BFE Engineering c756622c96 docs: reposition as the 86 Panel development environment
The repo's documentation framed it as a support repo for one product
(WardenOS). Since going public the real audience is anyone with a Luckfox
Pico 86 Panel: a maintained 6.18 kernel, an off-device development loop,
and a device simulator that exist nowhere else for this board. Reframe the
README and top-level docs board-first, with WardenOS documented as the
downstream consumer it is (ADR-0008).

Also an editorial pass over the whole doc set:
- every H1/H2 is now a short title, not a sentence (ADRs, qemu/, patches/,
  drivers/, architecture, NPU feasibility, config-lint, payload); workflow
  flowchart titles fixed at the source in tools/flowgen.py and regenerated
  with fresh bench numbers
- README Quick Start commands verified against the scripts; requirements
  corrected (curl, bare python, gcc >= 14) and the MC/DC gate added as a
  step (run green locally on gcc 14.2)
- dropped the 'needs python (not python3)' vendor dig: build-kernel.sh
  inherited the same requirement (filed #10 to remove it)
- glossed MC/DC and HPMCU on first use; marked the tests/uboot-ab
  reference as flare-edge; deduplicated the three-simulator list into the
  root README table

# Hardened Drivers
Per **ADR-0002** (tiered MC/DC) and **ADR-0005** (source-of-truth), our own
hardware-facing code migrates here behind a HAL seam and is hardened. "100% MC/DC on
100% of drivers" is infeasible (≈97% of kernel-driver LOC is vendor blobs — AIC8800
alone is 88.5K lines); the realistic, honest target is tiered.
## Tier 1 — 100% MC/DC
Self-contained logic with a clean seam, measured to **100% MC/DC** (gcc-14
`-fcondition-coverage`) by the CI `mcdc` job (`make -C drivers/*/test check`):
| Driver | Seam | MC/DC |
|---|---|---|
| `relays/` | `relay_io` vtable (sysfs backend + in-memory fake) | 40/40 conditions, 100% |
| `freshness/` | produce/render callbacks (the "no stale numbers" guard) | 66/66 conditions, 100% |
**Adding a Tier-1 driver:** copy `<name>.{c,h}` here, put the hardware/OS calls behind
a small injectable seam, then mirror `relays/test/` (a fake backend for the logic
branches + a real backend over a scratch tree for the plumbing). Reuse the shared
gate — the Makefile calls `bash ../../enforce-mcdc.sh <gcov.log> build/<name>.c.gcov
build/test.rc` (it derives the driver name from the `.gcov` file, so there is no
per-driver copy to keep in sync). The CI `mcdc` job picks up any
`drivers/*/test/Makefile` automatically.
## Tier 2 — Fault Injection
Drivers too large or too vendor/UI-coupled for literal MC/DC get fault-injection,
branch coverage, and benchmarks against the simulator instead. Their **hardware side
is already modelled and tested here** in `../sim/`:
| Driver | Serious-testing status | SDK model |
|---|---|---|
| `modbus_engine.c` (RS485 master) | 8 pty scenarios + 3 wire/daemon checks (11 total) + fault-injection (flare-edge `tools/modbus-sim/`, green) | `sim::modbus` RTU slave (11 tests, silent-drop/forced-NAK faults) + `modbus_read_holding` benchmark |
| `warden_rga.c` (RGA offload) | offload-dispatch + CPU-fallback logic | `sim::rga` recording `improcess` fake (programmable IM_STATUS) + `rga_improcess` benchmark |
| HPMCU supervisor (`hpmcu.rs`) | arm/beat/fire + boot-grace safety property | `sim::hpmcu` (7 tests) + `hpmcu_tick` benchmark |
**Why the Tier-2 *source* isn't vendored here yet:** `modbus_engine.c` and
`warden_rga.c` pull in shared UI headers (`platform.h`, `settings.h`, `lv_*`) and
librga. Copying those in would duplicate exactly the shared surface the
**flare-edge↔warden-sdk unification** (ADR-0003/0005, a separate maintainer-gated step) is
meant to resolve cleanly. So the Tier-2 *models* (the hardware ends) live here now;
the Tier-2 *driver sources* migrate in with the unification, at which point their
existing flare-edge harnesses point at this repo.
