//! Kernel egress default-deny for confined children — the network half of the
//! b1 floor that Landlock cannot provide.
//!
//! agent-bridle's Landlock net fence kernel-denies **TCP only** (ABI-v4
//! `LANDLOCK_ACCESS_NET_CONNECT_TCP`). UDP, DNS (UDP/TCP :53), ICMP, and raw
//! packet egress are NOT covered — a hostile child under `net: none` can still
//! resolve names and exfiltrate over UDP. This module closes that with a
//! seccomp-BPF filter that denies the `socket()` syscall for the off-box address
//! families (`AF_INET` / `AF_INET6` / `AF_PACKET`), so **no** network socket can
//! be created regardless of protocol.
//!
//! It needs no privilege, user namespace, or root: an unprivileged process may
//! install a seccomp filter once `PR_SET_NO_NEW_PRIVS` is set (which
//! [`seccompiler::apply_filter`] does). This is the enforcement path chosen
//! because unprivileged network namespaces are unavailable on hosts that set
//! `kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=1` (Ubuntu ≥ 23.10) — seccomp
//! is host-policy-independent.
//!
//! `AF_UNIX` (local IPC) is deliberately allowed. **Correction (closure-proof,
//! `af_unix_deputy.rs`):** contrary to an earlier note here, Landlock does NOT
//! govern unix-socket `connect` — its `AccessFs` rights have no such right — so a
//! confined child can `connect()` to a host AF_UNIX deputy at BOTH a pathname
//! (outside the fs fence) AND an abstract name. So allowing `AF_UNIX` leaves an
//! INDIRECT-egress residual (a network-relaying local deputy), tracked as the
//! ACTIVE `local-deputy-egress` deviation and closed only by the deferred netns /
//! mediated-egress floor (#1599). The direct-socket floor here still stands: no
//! `AF_INET`/`AF_INET6`/`AF_PACKET` socket can be created.
/// Whether the seccomp egress-deny floor can be built and installed on this
/// platform. Linux-only; elsewhere the confined executor fails closed before a
/// child would run, so there is nothing to filter.
