runner-manager-platform 0.4.42

//! Operating-system primitives for `host doctor` and `host prepare`.
//!
//! The check registry, its policy and its wording live in the CLI crate
//! (`cli::doctor`); this module is only the part that has to talk to an
//! operating system: a few read-only probes, the handful of privileged writes
//! `host prepare` makes, the one way each platform asks a person for
//! administrator rights, and the record the daemon leaves when it refuses to
//! start runners on an unfit host.
//!
//! # Every probe is read-only and needs no privilege
//!
//! A probe that cannot answer without administrator rights says so (an
//! [`RegistryError::AccessDenied`], for instance) instead of guessing, and the
//! caller reports the check as unknown. Nothing here writes outside the three
//! `write_*` functions and [`run_elevated`].
