docs(openkal): add a complete Linux reference implementation
Two identities: a backend that works today, and the thing other implementers
copy. It does not move the D0 gate — that gate is whether a THIRD PARTY writes
a third backend — but it turns 'guess the shape and write the implementation'
into 'write the implementation'.
Writing it out surfaced three things the design document had not:
* core operations need no ADL at all. They are declared `extern "C"` by the
interface and defined by the backend; missing means a link error. The ADL
mechanism serves optional capabilities only, which makes the common path
simpler than the draft implied.
* short writes are a spec question nobody had asked. ::write(2) may write
less than requested, so openkal must choose: write-all-or-error (the loop
lives once, in the backend) or allow short writes (every caller writes the
loop — which is exactly where POSIX has tripped programs up for decades).
* ⭐ it independently confirms the fs/net decomposition. On Linux, seekability
is a property of the HANDLE, not of the backend — lseek succeeds on a file
and returns ESPIPE on a pipe. If openkal.stream had seek, the Linux backend
could not answer honestly: claiming it means always failing on pipes, which
is precisely the 'present but useless' antipattern. Because §2.3 puts seek
on openkal.fs's descriptor instead, the question does not arise.
That last point is the strongest argument for writing a complete reference at
all: it is the only way to find a decomposition error, and it finds it earlier
than a conformance suite would.1 parent 8bd786f commit 5f5c831
