vasilito f31522130f fix: comprehensive boot warnings and exceptions — fixable silenced, unfixable diagnosed
Build system (5 gaps hardened):
- COOKBOOK_OFFLINE defaults to true (fork-mode)
- normalize_patch handles diff -ruN format
- New 'repo validate-patches' command (25/25 relibc patches)
- 14 patched Qt/Wayland/display recipes added to protected list
- relibc archive regenerated with current patch chain

Boot fixes (fixable):
- Full ISO EFI partition: 16 MiB → 1 MiB (matches mini, BIOS hardcoded 2 MiB offset)
- D-Bus system bus: absolute /usr/bin/dbus-daemon path (was skipped)
- redbear-sessiond: absolute /usr/bin/redbear-sessiond path (was skipped)
- daemon framework: silenced spurious INIT_NOTIFY warnings for oneshot_async services (P0-daemon-silence-init-notify.patch)
- udev-shim: demoted INIT_NOTIFY warning to INFO (expected for oneshot_async)
- relibc: comprehensive named semaphores (sem_open/close/unlink) replacing upstream todo!() stubs
- greeterd: Wayland socket timeout 15s → 30s (compositor DRM wait)
- greeter-ui: built and linked (header guard unification, sem_compat stubs removed)
- mc: un-ignored in both configs, fixed glib/libiconv/pcre2 transitive deps
- greeter config: removed stale keymapd dependency from display/greeter services
- prefix toolchain: relibc headers synced, _RELIBC_STDLIB_H guard unified

Unfixable (diagnosed, upstream):
- i2c-hidd: abort on no-I2C-hardware (QEMU) — process::exit → relibc abort
- kded6/greeter-ui: page fault 0x8 — Qt library null deref
- Thread panics fd != -1 — Rust std library on Redox
- DHCP timeout / eth0 MAC — QEMU user-mode networking
- hwrngd/thermald — no hardware RNG/thermal in VM
- live preload allocation — BIOS memory fragmentation, continues on demand

Button debouncing
==============================================================================
Physical buttons experience wear-and-tear with usage. On some devices this
can result in an effect called "contact bouncing" or "chatter". This effect
can cause the button to send multiple events within a short time frame, even
though the user only pressed or clicked the button once. This effect can be
counteracted by "debouncing" the buttons, usually by ignoring erroneous
events.
libinput provides two methods of debouncing buttons, referred to as the
"bounce" and "spurious" methods:
- In the "bounce" method, libinput monitors hardware bouncing on button
state changes, i.e. when a user clicks or releases a button. For example,
if a user presses a button but the hardware generates a
press-release-press sequence in quick succession, libinput ignores the
release and second press event. This method is always enabled.
- in the "spurious" method, libinput detects spurious releases of a button
while the button is physically held down by the user. These releases are
immediately followed by a press event. libinput monitors for these events
and ignores the release and press event. This method is disabled by
default and enables once libinput detects the first faulty event sequence.
The "bounce" method guarantees that all press events are delivered
immediately and most release events are delivered immediately. The
"spurious" method requires that release events are delayed, libinput thus
does not enable this method unless a faulty event sequence is detected. A
message is printed to the log when spurious deboucing was detected.
libinput's debouncing is supposed to correct hardware damage or
substandard hardware. Debouncing also exists as an accessibility feature
but the requirements are different. In the accessibility feature, multiple
physical key presses, usually caused by involuntary muscle movement, must be
filtered to only one key press. This feature must be implemented higher in
the stack, libinput is limited to hardware debouncing.
Below is an illustration of the button debouncing modes to show the relation
of the physical button state and the application state. Where applicable, an
extra line is added to show the timeouts used by libinput that
affect the button state handling. The waveform's high and low states
correspond to the buttons 'pressed' and 'released' states, respectively.

Some devices send events in bursts, erroneously triggering the button
debouncing detection. Please :ref:`file a bug <reporting_bugs>` if that
occurs for your device.
