//! **STAGE 2 — the DAEMON-LESS proof: a REAL container started THROUGH youki-core
//! (`libcontainer`), read back to readiness, torn down.** No podman, no dockerd, no
//! CLI — draupnir links youki and creates the Linux namespaces + cgroups-v2 itself,
//! rootless, then execs a busybox entrypoint that drops a **readiness sentinel** into
//! a bind-mounted dir the host reads back. The container equivalent of the korp-kvm
//! `BOOT-OK` e2e, on the daemon-less runtime.
//!
//! The rootfs is a single **statically-linked busybox** (the box's `/usr/bin/busybox`)
//! — a self-contained scratch-ish bundle with no shared libs, so the run proves the
//! namespace/pivot/exec path, not an image pull.
//!
//! **Self-gating** (like the vm-boot heavy tests): it needs unprivileged user
//! namespaces, a cgroups-v2 hierarchy with a delegated `user@UID.service` subtree, and
//! a static busybox. When a prerequisite is missing it prints a loud `SKIP` naming
//! exactly what is needed and returns green rather than failing — it never fakes a
//! start. Run it on the box:
//!
//! ```text
//! cargo test --features backend-youki --test stage2_youki_start_proof -- --ignored --nocapture
//! ```
