Artemis Milestone 1 complete: QMP socket added to all three QEMU

launch targets, three-arch verified

Makefile.starkernel: added -qmp unix:$QMP_SOCK,server=on,wait=off to
the amd64/aarch64/riscv64 qemu targets, matching the existing serial
chardev socket pattern exactly (same discoverability, same cleanup on
exit). Verified on all three architectures: QMP greeting arrives on
connect, qmp_capabilities handshake succeeds, device_add/device_del
round-trip correctly.

Real finding surfaced during device_add testing (recorded in
FABRIC-2.md's punch list for Milestone 2): the q35 machine's pcie.0
root bus doesn't support runtime PCI hotplug without a bridge --
Milestone 2's qemu-xhci USB controller needs to be present in the
static launch command, with USB devices hot-attached to its bus at
runtime, not the controller itself hot-added.

Also noted: g_doe_log_enabled's default-on per-tick heartbeat CSV
export was briefly mistaken for a hang during aarch64 verification --
it isn't one, just a large volume of routine diagnostic output before
reaching ok>. Not changing the source default; adopting HB-OFF
immediately after boot as the working pattern for the rest of this
punch list's dev work.

+      reporting), but attempting `device_add driver=virtio-serial-pci` against the bare q35
+      root bus returned `"Bus 'pcie.0' does not support hotplugging"` — a real, expected QEMU
+      constraint, not a bug. **Finding for Milestone 2:** plain PCIe root-bus hotplug doesn't
+      work without an intermediate hotplug-capable bridge; the `qemu-xhci` USB controller
+      itself must be present in the static launch command (added at boot, not hot-added), and
+      USB *devices* get hot-attached to *its* bus at runtime — USB ports are hotpluggable by
+      design regardless of the underlying PCIe root-bus limitation.

+**Note, same session:** `g_doe_log_enabled` (the routine per-tick `[HADES][DOE]` heartbeat CSV
+export, on by default) was mistaken for a hang during this milestone's aarch64 verification —
+it isn't one, boot just produces a large volume of routine diagnostic rows before reaching
+`ok>` (confirmed: thousands of rows, from both Hera's own heartbeat and Artemis's separate
+instance of the same mechanism). Not changing the source default (documented elsewhere as
+intentional), but adopting `HB-OFF` immediately after every boot as the working pattern for
+the remainder of this punch list's dev work, same tool used throughout the ACL-TTL campaign.
