When a respawnable service's process exits, init automatically re-spawns it. All getty services across `redbear-minimal`, `redbear-desktop`, `redbear-greeter-services`, `redbear-live-mini`, `wayland`, and `redbear-kde` configs now have `respawn = true` set. + +Implementation: +- `service.rs`: Added `respawn: bool` field to `Service` (default false). `spawn()` returns `Option` (child PID) for respawnable oneshot_async services. +- `scheduler.rs`: `Scheduler` collects respawnable (unit_id, pid) pairs in `respawn_pids` field. +- `main.rs`: Waitpid loop maintains a PID → UnitId map. On child exit, checks if the PID is respawnable and re-schedules the unit. + +Usage in service TOML: +```toml +[unit] +description = "Text console" + +[service] +cmd = "getty" +args = ["2"] +type = "oneshot_async" +respawn = true +``` + +### 3D: Greeter Crash Fallback (existing) +The fallback path via `29_activate_console.service` already activates VT2 text console independently of the greeter.

Any unrecognized field in `[unit]` or `[service]` sections causes the ENTIRE service file to fail deserialization. The init system logs the error and skips the service — it never starts. + +**Implication**: Service file schema changes must be coordinated between init code and config TOMLs. Manual validation (`validate-service-files.sh`) catches these in redbear-*.toml configs. + +### Init `requires_weak` Semantics +`requires_weak` provides ordering, not readiness. If a dependency is missing (file not found), the scheduler treats it as satisfied (not in pending queue). Services start anyway but without ordering guarantees. + +### Init `oneshot_async` Services +Services with `type = "oneshot_async"` are fire-and-forget by default. Init spawns them and doesn't track their lifecycle. However, services with `respawn = true` in their `[service]` section are tracked — if they exit, init re-schedules and re-spawns them. Getty services use `respawn = true`. + +### Config Include Chain +``` +redbear-minimal.toml → minimal.toml, redbear-legacy-base.toml, redbear-device-services.toml, redbear-netctl.toml +redbear-full.toml → desktop.toml, redbear-desktop.toml, redbear-greeter-services.toml, ... +redbear-live-mini.toml → minimal.toml, redbear-legacy-base.toml, redbear-netctl.toml +redbear-live.toml → redbear-full.toml, ... +``` + +### Upstream Targets (not Red Bear defined) +- `00_base.target` — `recipes/core/base/source/init.d/00_base.target` +- `10_net.target` — `recipes/core/base/source/init.d/10_net.target` +- These are installed by the base package into `/usr/lib/init.d/` and available at boot. + +## Files Modified (This Assessment) + +### Config Changes +- `config/redbear-greeter-services.toml` — removed boot_essential, added 05_boot-essential.target +- `config/redbear-device-services.toml` — added 12_boot-late.target +- `config/redbear-minimal.toml` — removed empty fatd override + +### 2G: Console-Draw ✅ (8 fixes) +- `console-draw/src/lib.rs`: 4 DRM call unwraps → `?` operator;
