// Tomb Guard — eBPF LSM (Linux Security Module) program.
//
// Replaces the former AppArmor profile (lxc-sorcery-essence.apparmor) with
// an in-kernel enforcement point that is faster, more precise, and works
// uniformly across LXC, Firecracker microVMs, and Podman containers.
//
// This program attaches to the BPF_LSM_MAC hook for file_open and
// file_permission to enforce the "Immutable Vault" policy:
//
//   - /var/lib/sorcery-go/tomb/**   — READ only (deny write/link/delete/rename)
//   - /var/lib/sorcery-go/state/**  — READ only (deny write)
//   - All other paths                — ALLOW (delegated to container runtime)
//
// Violations are sent to userspace via a perf event array so the Warding
// can raise taint alarms in real time.
