Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 31a86ee50d FABRIC.md item 4.4ac: screendump-verify boot scrollback, mark done ...

Confirms 4.4ac's boot-mode scrollback ring actually works: injected
'99999 SCROLL-BACK' over the serial chardev socket (same mechanism the
old DOE_INJECT automation used to drive EXEC-DOE -- SCROLL-BACK is a
plain FORTH word, and sk_repl_step()'s input comes from console_getc()
polling the UART), then captured the framebuffer with QEMU's own HMP
screendump command over its monitor socket. No GTK session or physical
typing needed, correcting this item's own earlier assumption that it
would.

Result (logs/screendump-4.4ac/amd64-scrollback.png) shows PARITY:
MAMA_INIT, Init: Mama birth OK, ACL: CAPSULE-BIRTH pinned STRICT,
Starting heartbeat..., and HADES DoE rows from steps 58-73 all on
screen at once -- genuinely early POST content, not just the pre-TTF
tail. Also confirms a small pre-existing 4.4q limitation (live cursor
draw corrupting a scrolled-back view) is unaffected by this item, not
a new regression.
