fix(security): no VM but Artemis and Hera can make Hera run text; a message runs once; word-ACL elevation removed

Any identity could have arbitrary FORTH run as Zuse: KH-ELEVATE-SEND and
KH-BLK-ATTACH-SEND sent any text to Hera, from any VM (shown live).  And the
drain popped a message after running it, so a payload calling a colon word
ran twice.  Both fixed test first (FABRIC-3 SXXXVII):

- KH-BLK-ATTACH-SEND is ( dev-addr ok? -- sent? ), Artemis only; the kernel
  writes the reply text.  BLK-ATTACH-ACK is Hera's only.
- The drain pops before it runs.
- Elevation, ruled not needed: KH-ELEVATE-SEND, message type 8,
  zuse-eligibility.4th, ZUSE-ELIGIBLE?/ZUSE-ELIGIBILITY-ADD/
  ELEVATE-PUBKEY-UNPACK and the eligibility list removed; its disk area
  stays reserved, unused.  FABRIC-3.7 closed.

Three ISAs: POST 1052 passed; new parity baseline word_count=523
hash=0xb73b58052d591638 (deliberate).
