Phase 2 shipped service registration that had never been executed: a
relocated test run deliberately skips it, `sc create` needs elevation,
and systemd needs a Linux host. It has now been run for real on a
privileged Debian 12 container with systemd as PID 1 — unit written and
enabled, service up as the unprivileged runicgateway user, sidecar.toml
600 and owned by it, database under /var/lib (so the UOLINK_DB_PATH pin
works), /health answering protocol 3, and uninstall taking the service,
unit, binary and account away while leaving the config, the database and
the whole ServUO tree alone.
That surfaced one bug only a real service host could show — user_created
was recorded per-run rather than as state, so an identical re-run
rewrote install.json and uninstall silently left behind the account the
installer had created (installer#8). Recorded here with the reason it is
invisible on Windows.
Also notes what is still unverified: the Windows SCM half, which needs an
elevated shell this machine's automation does not have.
