KAAL1 (Bingus) 270304bca5 feat(build): borealis-style multi-stage rootfs for the open guest components (#309)
## What

Adds `build/` — a Dockerfile with `mesa-build`, `nestri-build`,
`os-base`, `runtime`, `runtime_prod` and `runtime_debug` stages, plus
the `etc/` overlay, `mkimage.sh` and a `Makefile` — laid out the way
[borealis](https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/overlays/board-overlays/+/main/project-borealis)
lays out its own `build/`. This moves the guest rootfs formula into this
repo, targeting the four open guest components already here: `nescope`,
`neshub`, `neswire`, `nescapture`.

## Two structural properties worth calling out

- **No privileged host chroot.** A bare `chroot` into a hand-extracted
rootfs needs `/proc`, `/sys`, `/dev` bind-mounted in first. `os-base`
here is `FROM artixlinux/artixlinux:base-openrc` directly with `pacman
-S` as plain `RUN` steps — a Docker build step already has its own
`/proc`/`/sys`/`/dev`.
- **No host-side ownership bug to guard against.** `COPY --from=` runs
as root inside the build with no invoking-user uid in the loop.

## Scope boundary

**Deliberately excludes Proton and Valve's `steamclient.so`** — both
closed, and `CLAUDE.md` forbids closed content in this repo.
`runtime_prod`, tagged `nestrilabs/nestri:base`, is a complete,
bootable, Steam-less image — and also the shared foundation other builds
start from. Whatever layers Proton/Steam on top of it is a closed build
outside this repo, by design.

## Known gap

Nothing starts a payload yet — `nesinit` isn't open code — so
`/etc/init.d/nescope` boots it in plain-compositor mode (no command
after `--`) rather than running a game. Real and testable, just not a
full session yet. Details in `build/README.md`.

## Status

Built and tagged locally as `nestrilabs/nestri:base` (podman, no
`--no-cache` issues, greptile's three findings all fixed and verified
against a real build). Not yet packed into a disk image or run inside
nesbox.

<h3>Greptile Summary</h3>

The PR adds a multi-stage Artix/OpenRC guest-rootfs build for the open
Nestri components, with production and debug image flavors.
- Builds patched Mesa and the Rust workspace in dedicated builder
stages.
- Assembles and configures the bootable guest environment and OpenRC
services.
- Packs a selected container image into an ext4 root filesystem while
retaining rootless container storage access.

<h3>Confidence Score: 5/5</h3>

The PR appears safe to merge.

No blocking failure remains.

<h3>Important Files Changed</h3>




| Filename | Overview |
|----------|----------|
| build/Dockerfile | Defines the complete multi-stage build, overlays
repository-root-relative configuration paths, and creates production and
debug runtime targets. |
| build/Makefile | Provides consistent image build and packing targets
using a repository-root context and matching image tags. |
| build/scripts/mkimage.sh | Keeps container-runtime operations in the
invoking user's storage while escalating only filesystem creation and
mounting operations. |
| build/etc/conf.d/nestri-user-env | Supplies the shared service
environment and export function required by the OpenRC service scripts.
|
| build/etc/init.d/guest-net | Configures optional guest networking from
kernel parameters or stable defaults. |
| build/etc/init.d/neswire | Starts the audio sink after its
dependencies and pins it as the PipeWire default once the graph is
ready. |

# falls back to /dev/shm. Kept as a precaution for anything else that uses
# POSIX shm/semaphores directly — Proton is the known example, and it is not
# part of this image yet (see build/README.md), but a failure here is silent
# rather than fatal, so it costs nothing to have ready.
