huntedbytheirs 1c668c3c1e kernel, patch, doctor, config: fill in the rest of Now and Next
kernel quest reads bugzilla's REST API and picks one bug through a seeded
xorshift, so a pick is reproducible in a test and varied in a person's hands.
kernel test builds under spawn_blocking and boots under qemu with the serial
console streamed line by line, and it reports what qemu did instead of
flattening a failed boot into a success.

patch create writes a whole series when --range is given. git format-patch
does the naming and the numbering because that is already its job, the cover
letter comes from --cover-letter, and a series.toml beside the patches records
the range with both ends as hashes, the revision, the files and the blurb.
patch submit takes a directory or several files and sends them in one
git send-email invocation, and patch update re-rolls a directory through
--reroll-count, deleting the superseded revision only once the new one is
complete.

doctor runs its checks in the order a first run hits them, prints one line and
a fix hint for each, and names the first hard failure in the summary. A missing
qemu or a missing mail route warns and keeps exit 0, because --dry-run is where
the loop actually stops on a machine without an SMTP route.

~/.config/spectral/config.toml holds the tree path, the patch directory,
always-CC addresses and an identity, with the environment winning over the file
and the file over the built-in default. spectral init verifies or clones a tree
and writes it once: a second run with the same tree says so and writes nothing,
and a run that would change an existing answer is refused until --force.

tests/ grew a fixture for each of those. The harness controls PATH and git's
configuration, and its PATH can hold a git that answers send-email either way,
so a host without that support still passes rather than deciding the result.

Two review lanes ran over this work and this commit carries their fixes. A
re-roll regenerated base..HEAD, so a commit that landed after create would have
silently joined the set and been mailed: the range is recorded now and a
re-roll regenerates exactly it. A patch file that was already gone made update
fail forever while the sidecar described a revision that was not on disk: a
missing file is the state the re-roll wanted. An empty blurb aborted after the
files were written: it is checked before anything is generated. A tree that is
not a git repository was reported as a missing revision. init cloned before it
refused. The bugzilla request had no timeout, a signal-ended child printed the
bare word "signal", CommandSpawn dropped the io reason, and the printed
send-email line quoted only arguments with spaces, so --in-reply-to <id@host>
pasted as a redirection.

Checked with cargo fmt --all -- --check, cargo clippy --all-targets --locked --
-D warnings, cargo test --locked (96 passed, 4 ignored) and cargo doc --no-deps.
The four ignored tests want the host's own checkpatch, get_maintainer and
bugzilla, and all four pass when asked for.
