pki: the StarshipOS CA, made on the CI box; capsules signed in CI
Ruled by Captain Bob, 2026-11-07: "New root CA on the CI box. Valid
StarshipOS rather than snake oil intermediate."

- ci/pki/make-ca.sh makes the StarshipOS Root CA (its key stays on the CI
  box) and the StarshipOS Capsule Signing intermediate it issues, and
  stores the signing key as the secret CAPSULE_SIGN_KEY.
- The kernel finds the signing certificate by one name,
  CAPSULE_SIGNING_CERT_NAME = pki:starshipos-intermediate.der. The
  certificate itself lands once make-ca.sh has run; until then the
  snakeoil intermediate is in the tree under its old name and the
  capsules check as "no root key" (a warning, as "missing" was).
- mkcapsule refuses a signing key that is not that certificate's.
- SIGN_KEY has no default; acceptance, build, nightly and release set it
  from the secret.

FABRIC-3.md XLVI.

/*
* x509_ed25519.h -- minimal, targeted DER walkers for Ed25519-signed X.509
* certificates (RFC 8410). Deliberately NOT a general ASN.1/X.509 parser
* (Milestone 6 decision, FABRIC-1.md): each function walks exactly as far
* into the DER structure as its own job needs, nothing more.
*
* x509_extract_ed25519_pubkey() only ever reads SubjectPublicKeyInfo --
* no signature verification, no chain validation, no extension parsing.
* That's the capsule-PKI use case (Milestone 6): the embedded capsule-
* signing cert (StarshipOS Capsule Signing since 2026-11-07, the snakeoil
* intermediate before it) is trusted because it's baked into the trusted
* build, never re-verified against its root CA at boot.
*
* x509_verify_signature()/x509_extract_serial() (added 2026-08-28,
* FABRIC-2.md §F.7/§F.17) are for CERTVERIFY -- a regular user's cert,
* which unlike the capsule-PKI chain is signed by Zuse's own on-device
* key and genuinely needs its signature checked at attach time, not just
* trusted by embedding. Two separate trust roots, two separate reasons
* to exist in the same small file (shared DER-walking internals only).
*
* Freestanding C99, no libc beyond memcmp/memcpy (already provided by
* src/starkernel/vm/host/shim.c in the kernel build).
