Policy decided for the kernel-only audit scope: an interactive
command's direct response stays on console_println/console_puts;
everything else (state transitions, background diagnostics, audit
trails) routes through log_message() at the appropriate level,
matching capsule_mint.c's verify_mint() precedent. Documented, not
code-swept here -- reclassifying individual sites is Stage D's job.
LOG-FLUSH deferred again, explicitly: the per-VM log buffer its own
doc comment presumes (vm_log_buffer.h) doesn't exist anywhere in the
tree -- building it is real feature work needing its own scoped stage.
Level-aware eviction built: log_region_append() now reads the oldest
ring slot's own level before evicting it, protecting ERROR/WARN
records from being pushed out by INFO/DEBUG churn -- drops the
incoming low-priority record instead. Found and fixed an adjacent bug
while making this change: the prior two-valued return contract would
have made a benign "dropped by design" outcome indistinguishable from
a genuine write failure to its one caller, which unconditionally set
vm->error on any nonzero return. Changed to a three-valued contract (0
success, 1 dropped by design, -1 genuine failure).
Three-arch clean qemu acceptance passed. Eviction path itself not
live-exercised (needs 128+ LOG-APPEND calls to fill the ring) --
flagged, matching this project's own precedent for that kind of gap.

Wires the previously-unused vm_log_attributed_vm() into LOG-APPEND's kernel
primitive so persisted log records carry a trustworthy source (the real
attributed VM's registry name, or "HADES" pseudo-source) instead of a
caller-supplied, trivially forgeable string. Drops src-addr/src-u from
LOG-APPEND's stack signature accordingly. Pins LOG-APPEND via bare ACL-PIN
in Artemis's own init.4th, matching BIRTH/CAPSULE-BIRTH's precedent for a
privileged word that can't reach the shared, host-portable ACL.4th.
Also fixes two console-banner nitpicks: a mis-rendering em dash (U+2014)
in the boot banner, and drops "Emergency" from the CLI banner text.
Doc corrections to artemis_sig.h/zuse_eligibility_list.h reconciling the
three fixed devblock ranges now in play. LOG-FLUSH (the intended normal
entry point) and level-aware log eviction remain open, flagged not fixed.
Re-verified clean boot to ok> on all 3 architectures after every change.
riscv64 showed one new, unrelated virtio_blk write-timeout anomaly during
Artemis's early physics self-test (self-recovered, boot unaffected,
sector doesn't map to the log region) -- flagged, not investigated.
