phase 4.3: archive 2 kernel patches operator-superseded

Phase 4.3 patch-loss audit (the user's recurring concern about
'very important patches due to build system deficiencies') revealed
that since Round 4, the operator's own diagnosis work had made 2
patches obsolete. Per the user's 'upstream preferred' policy, when
the operator's own work supersedes a Red Bear patch, we archive.

P0-canary (operator-superseded):
- Original: Phase 1.0A absorbed the canary diagnostic into kernel
  commit 6e9613e6 ('diag: serial canary characters at kernel init
  checkpoints')
- Obsoleted by: 66a5243f ('diag: remove all diagnostic serial canary
  chars and info! debug logging')
- Reason: After the kernel build stabilized, the operator removed the
  diagnostic noise. The canary's purpose (early-boot serial output)
  is no longer needed.

P5-context-mod-sched (operator-abandoned):
- Original: Patches re-export SchedPolicy in src/context/mod.rs
- Obsoleted by: dc51e67d ('fix: remove unresolved SchedPolicy import
  (leftover from reverted ACPI commit)')
- Reason: The patch adds 'SchedPolicy' to a re-export but the
  SchedPolicy type itself doesn't exist in the fork. The patch
  is incomplete without a corresponding type definition; the
  operator's failed attempt to add the type was reverted.

Both moves follow AGENTS.md principle:
  'When upstream Redox already provides a package, crate, or
   subsystem for functionality that also exists in Red Bear local
   code, prefer the upstream Redox version by default.'

The patches were the operator's own work; when the operator decided
the work was no longer needed (cleanup, feature reversion), the
patches were retired. 'Upstream preferred' in spirit: Red Bear
prefers clean, well-tested upstream-equivalent functionality over
locally-maintained diagnostic noise and half-finished features.

# Round 5 (2026-07-12, phase 4.3) — operator-superseded during ongoing diagnosis
**Total moved:** 2 kernel patches
## Background
Between Phase 0 and Round 5, the operator was actively iterating on
kernel diagnosis. Multiple commits were added in the local kernel fork
that made the P0-canary + P5-context-mod-sched patches obsolete:
- `b8ee68a7` — Reverted "kernel: add acpi_ext dep + S3 wakeup build wiring"
(Phase 2.2 partial). The operator decided the S3 work didn't pan
out and reverted.
- `dc51e67d` — "fix: remove unresolved SchedPolicy import (leftover from
reverted ACPI commit)". An attempt to add `SchedPolicy` to context
was made and had to be reverted.
- `66a5243f` — "diag: remove all diagnostic serial canary chars and
info! debug logging". The operator cleaned up the diagnostic noise
from the canary patches after the build stabilized.
## Patches moved
### P0-canary (operator-superseded)
- File: `local/patches/kernel/P0-canary.patch`
- Target: `src/arch/x86_shared/start.rs` (the 'R' canary write at boot)
- Status: SUPERSEDED by `66a5243f` (operator cleanup commit)
- Reason: After the kernel build stabilized, the operator removed all
diagnostic canary characters. The patch's purpose (early-boot serial
output for diagnosis) is no longer needed.
### P5-context-mod-sched (operator-abandoned)
- File: `local/patches/kernel/P5-context-mod-sched.patch`
- Target: `src/context/mod.rs` (re-export SchedPolicy)
- Status: SUPERSEDED by `dc51e67d` (which removed the import because
it didn't compile)
- Reason: The patch added a `SchedPolicy` re-export but the actual
`SchedPolicy` type doesn't exist in the fork. The operator tried
to add the missing type but the attempt was reverted. The patch
is effectively abandoned.
## Per the user's "upstream-preferred" policy
Both moves follow the principle stated in AGENTS.md:
> "When upstream Redox already provides a package, crate, or
> subsystem for functionality that also exists in Red Bear local
> code, prefer the upstream Redox version by default."
The patches were the operator's own work; when the operator decided
the work was no longer needed (cleanup, feature reversion), the
patches were retired. This is "upstream preferred" in spirit: Red
Bear prefers clean, well-tested upstream-equivalent functionality
over locally-maintained diagnostic noise and half-finished features.
