Hamilton remediation: validation, ToolError, elicitation, permission docs

Three-pillar fix from Hamilton review:

Code quality — validate_signature() for D-Bus spec compliance,
MCDBUS_TIMEOUT env var, replace 13 error-as-success returns with
ToolError, monotonic clock deadline on tree walks, sanitize D-Bus
error messages, fix resource connection leak via module-level
BusManager, hasattr guards in conftest.

Elicitation — ctx.elicit() confirmation for system bus call_method
and all set_property calls, graceful degradation when client lacks
elicitation support, MCDBUS_REQUIRE_ELICITATION for hard-fail mode.

Permission docs — four-layer guide (systemd sandboxing, dbus-broker
policy, polkit rules, xdg-dbus-proxy) with ready-to-deploy example
configs validated against xmllint, bash -n, and systemd-analyze.

+# D-Bus Permission Model
+
+mcdbus does not implement its own access control. By design, it delegates
+all security decisions to the operating system's existing D-Bus permission
+stack. This means the same mechanisms that protect D-Bus from any other
+client also protect it from mcdbus.
+
+This guide covers four independent layers that can be composed to build
+the level of isolation your deployment requires. They are all optional,
+all independent, and all stack on top of each other.
+
+## Layer 1: systemd Service Sandboxing
+
+The single most effective thing you can do. Running mcdbus as a systemd
+service gives you process-level isolation using Linux namespaces, seccomp,
+and capability dropping -- all with a handful of declarative directives.
+
+An example unit file is provided at [docs/examples/mcdbus.service](examples/mcdbus.service).
+
+### What it does
+
+The unit file uses `DynamicUser=yes`, which creates an ephemeral Unix user
+for each service invocation. No home directory, no persistent UID, no
+leftover state. Combined with filesystem and network restrictions, the
+mcdbus process gets a minimal sandbox:
+
+- **Filesystem:** `ProtectSystem=strict` makes `/usr`, `/boot`, and `/efi`
+  read-only. `ProtectHome=yes` hides `/home`, `/root`, and `/run/user`
+  entirely. `PrivateTmp=yes` gives mcdbus its own `/tmp` that is invisible
+  to other processes.
+- **Network:** `RestrictAddressFamilies=AF_UNIX` limits socket creation to
+  Unix domain sockets. D-Bus only needs `AF_UNIX`, so this blocks any
+  TCP/UDP/raw socket activity. mcdbus cannot open network connections.
+- **Capabilities:** `CapabilityBoundingSet=` (empty) drops every Linux
+  capability. mcdbus cannot change file ownership, load kernel modules,
+  bind to privileged ports, or do anything else that requires elevated
+  privileges.
+- **Syscalls:** `SystemCallFilter=@system-service` restricts the process to
+  the set of syscalls that a typical well-behaved service needs. Things
+  like `mount`, `reboot`, and `kexec_load` are blocked.
+- **Memory:** `MemoryDenyWriteExecute=yes` prevents mapping memory as both
+  writable and executable. Stops most classes of code injection.
+
+### Deploying it
+
+```bash
+sudo cp docs/examples/mcdbus.service /etc/systemd/system/
+sudo systemctl daemon-reload
+sudo systemctl enable --now mcdbus.service
+```
+
+### Testing it
+
+systemd ships a built-in security auditor:
+
+```bash
+systemd-analyze security mcdbus.service
+```
+
+This produces a score from 0.0 (fully exposed) to 10.0 (fully locked down).
+The example unit file should score above 7.0. The output also lists each
+directive and its impact, so you can see exactly what is and is not restricted.
+
+Check the journal for any sandbox-related denials:
+
+```bash
+journalctl -u mcdbus.service -f
+```
+
+### Environment variables
+
+The unit file sets `MCDBUS_TIMEOUT=30` by default. You can override this
+and add other mcdbus environment variables via a drop-in:
+
+```bash
+sudo systemctl edit mcdbus.service
+```
+
+```ini
+[Service]
+Environment=MCDBUS_TIMEOUT=60
+Environment=MCDBUS_REQUIRE_ELICITATION=1
+```
+
+
+## Layer 2: D-Bus Bus Policy
+
+D-Bus itself has a message filtering layer that operates at the bus daemon
+(or bus broker) level. This is independent of what mcdbus does -- it
+controls which messages any client can send or receive based on the
+sender's Unix identity.
+
+An example policy file is provided at [docs/examples/mcdbus.conf](examples/mcdbus.conf).
+
+### How it works
+
+D-Bus policy files are XML documents dropped into `/etc/dbus-1/system.d/`
+(for the system bus) or `/etc/dbus-1/session.d/` (for the session bus).
+Both `dbus-daemon` and `dbus-broker` read them.
+
+The policy engine evaluates rules top to bottom. The last matching rule
+wins. The general pattern is:
+
+1. Default deny everything for the mcdbus user/group.
+2. Selectively allow specific destinations, interfaces, and methods.
+
+### Filter attributes
+
+Each `<allow>` or `<deny>` element can filter on:
+
+- `send_destination` -- the bus name being called (e.g. `org.freedesktop.Notifications`)
+- `send_interface` -- the interface being invoked
+- `send_member` -- the specific method name
+- `send_type` -- message type (`method_call`, `signal`, etc.)
+
+You can combine these. An `<allow>` with both `send_destination` and
+`send_interface` only permits calls to that specific interface on that
+specific service.
+
+### Deploying it
+
+For the system bus:
+
+```bash
+sudo cp docs/examples/mcdbus.conf /etc/dbus-1/system.d/
+sudo systemctl reload dbus.service    # dbus-daemon
+# or: sudo systemctl reload dbus-broker.service
+```
+
+For the session bus, copy to `/etc/dbus-1/session.d/` instead. Session bus
+policies apply to all users. If you only want to restrict a specific user,
+use `user="mcdbus"` in the policy context.
+
+### Testing it
+
+Denied messages show up in the bus daemon's journal:
+
+```bash
+# dbus-broker
+journalctl -u dbus-broker.service --since "5 min ago" | grep -i deny
+
+# dbus-daemon
+journalctl -u dbus.service --since "5 min ago" | grep -i deny
+```
+
+You can also use `dbus-monitor` to watch traffic in real time:
+
+```bash
+dbus-monitor --system "destination='org.freedesktop.UPower'"
+```
+
+
+## Layer 3: PolicyKit (polkit)
+
+polkit provides per-action authorization. Where D-Bus bus policy controls
+which messages can be *sent*, polkit controls whether a specific *action*
+is *authorized* for a specific user. Many system services (systemd,
+NetworkManager, UPower, udisks2) check polkit before performing privileged
+operations, regardless of what the D-Bus bus policy says.
+
+An example rules file is provided at [docs/examples/50-mcdbus.rules](examples/50-mcdbus.rules).
+
+### How it works
+
+polkit actions are identified by reverse-domain strings like
+`org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-units`. When a D-Bus service receives
+a method call that requires authorization, it asks polkit whether the
+calling user is allowed to perform that action.
+
+polkit rules are JavaScript files in `/etc/polkit-1/rules.d/`. They are
+evaluated in filename order (hence the `50-` prefix). Each rule function
+receives an `action` and a `subject` and returns one of:
+
+- `polkit.Result.YES` -- allow without prompting
+- `polkit.Result.AUTH_ADMIN` -- require admin password
+- `polkit.Result.NO` -- deny
+
+### What the example does
+
+The provided rules file checks if the calling user is in the `mcdbus`
+Unix group. If so, it allows a curated set of read-only actions. Everything
+else falls through to the system defaults (which typically require admin
+authentication or deny outright).
+
+### Creating the group
+
+```bash
+sudo groupadd mcdbus
+sudo usermod -aG mcdbus $(whoami)
+# Log out and back in for the group membership to take effect
+```
+
+If you are running mcdbus under systemd with `DynamicUser=yes`, the
+dynamic user will not be in any supplementary groups by default. You can
+either:
+
+- Use `SupplementaryGroups=mcdbus` in the unit file, or
+- Use `User=mcdbus` with a real system user instead of `DynamicUser=yes`
+
+### Deploying it
+
+```bash
+sudo cp docs/examples/50-mcdbus.rules /etc/polkit-1/rules.d/
+sudo systemctl restart polkit.service
+```
+
+### Testing it
+
+List all registered polkit actions:
+
+```bash
+pkaction
+```
+
+Check whether a specific action would be allowed for a user:
+
+```bash
+pkcheck --action-id org.freedesktop.systemd1.manage-units \
+        --process $$ --allow-user-interaction
+```
+
+The `--allow-user-interaction` flag lets polkit prompt for a password if
+the rules say `AUTH_ADMIN`. Without it, `AUTH_ADMIN` results are treated
+as denial.
+
+
+## Layer 4: xdg-dbus-proxy
+
+`xdg-dbus-proxy` is a Flatpak utility that creates a filtered D-Bus
+socket. You point it at the real bus socket, tell it which services to
+expose, and it creates a new socket that only passes through matching
+messages. The client (mcdbus) connects to the proxy socket and never
+sees the rest of the bus.
+
+An example wrapper script is provided at [docs/examples/mcdbus-proxy.sh](examples/mcdbus-proxy.sh).
+
+### Policy levels
+
+xdg-dbus-proxy supports three levels of access per service:
+
+- `--see=NAME` -- the service appears in `ListNames` and can be introspected,
+  but method calls are blocked. Read-only visibility.
+- `--talk=NAME` -- full bidirectional communication with the service.
+  Method calls, property reads/writes, and signals all pass through.
+- `--own=NAME` -- the client can register (own) the given bus name.
+  mcdbus does not need this.
+
+You can also filter at the interface and path level:
+
+```bash
+--talk=org.freedesktop.Notifications
+--call=org.freedesktop.UPower=org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.GetAll@/org/freedesktop/UPower/*
+```
+
+### Installing it
+
+xdg-dbus-proxy ships with Flatpak:
+
+```bash
+# Arch
+sudo pacman -S xdg-dbus-proxy
+
+# Debian/Ubuntu
+sudo apt install xdg-dbus-proxy
+
+# Fedora
+sudo dnf install xdg-dbus-proxy
+```
+
+### How the wrapper works
+
+The script:
+
+1. Creates a temporary directory for the proxy socket.
+2. Starts `xdg-dbus-proxy` in the background, pointing at `$DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS`.
+3. Waits for the proxy socket to appear.
+4. Sets `DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS` to the proxy socket.
+5. `exec`s mcdbus, so mcdbus runs with PID 1 semantics and gets signals correctly.
+6. Cleans up the proxy socket and process on exit via a trap.
+
+### Deploying it
+
+```bash
+chmod +x docs/examples/mcdbus-proxy.sh
+./docs/examples/mcdbus-proxy.sh
+```
+
+Or integrate it into the systemd unit file:
+
+```ini
+[Service]
+ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/mcdbus-proxy.sh
+```
+
+
+## Choosing Layers
+
+All four layers are independent. You can use any combination.
+
+**Layer 1 (systemd sandboxing)** is always recommended. It costs nothing
+to deploy and provides broad process-level isolation. Even if mcdbus or
+dbus-fast had a vulnerability, the sandbox limits what an attacker could
+do with it.
+
+**Layer 2 (D-Bus bus policy)** is useful when you want to restrict which
+services mcdbus can talk to at the bus level. This is the coarsest filter
+but also the most reliable -- it operates inside the bus daemon itself,
+so there is no way for the client to bypass it.
+
+**Layer 3 (polkit)** matters when the services mcdbus talks to perform
+their own polkit authorization checks. Most system services do this.
+If you want mcdbus to be able to read battery status but not manage
+systemd units, polkit rules are where you express that.
+
+**Layer 4 (xdg-dbus-proxy)** is the most granular option. It is useful
+for session bus filtering (where D-Bus bus policy is less commonly
+configured) and for deployments where you want per-interface or per-path
+control. The trade-off is that it adds a proxy process.
+
+For most deployments, Layer 1 alone is sufficient. For high-security
+environments or shared systems, stacking Layers 1 + 2 + 3 provides
+defense in depth. Layer 4 is there when you need fine-grained session
+bus filtering that the other layers cannot express.
+
+### Quick reference
+
+| Layer | Scope | Granularity | Bus |
+|-------|-------|-------------|-----|
+| systemd | Process isolation | Filesystem, network, syscalls | Both |
+| D-Bus policy | Message filtering | Service, interface, method | Both |
+| polkit | Action authorization | Per-action, per-user/group | System (mostly) |
+| xdg-dbus-proxy | Socket filtering | Service, interface, path | Session (mostly) |
