Three build-correctness fixes plus README coverage of the new kernel core.
The Makefile had no header dependency tracking, so editing a header left every
unrebuilt caller linked against the old layout. That is how the desktop's
window paint callbacks silently landed at the wrong struct offset after
gui_window_t grew: gui_apps.o was never recompiled. Compiles now emit .d files
via -MMD -MP and the build pulls them in.
The include has to sit at the end of the file with .DEFAULT_GOAL pinned to
`all` -- a .d file's first rule would otherwise become make's default goal and
turn a bare `make` into a silent no-op.
drivers/video/canvas.c carried the same font table defect gui_gfx.c did: the
`// \` comment on the backslash glyph continues onto the next line, swallowing
the `]` entry and shifting every glyph from ']' onward by one, so all lowercase
text rendered one letter off.

Expands the kernel-and-TTY core with the primitives the higher layers have
been missing, plus an in-kernel harness that proves they work.
Data structures (lib/):
- rbtree.c: Linux-compatible red-black tree with parent pointers, full
insert/erase rebalancing, in-order iteration and an invariant validator.
- kfifo.c: power-of-two byte ring with free-running indices, so the wrap
path costs one mask instead of a branch per byte.
- hashtable.c: separately-chained table with FNV-1a hashing, string or
u64 keys, and rehash-on-growth at a 3/4 load factor.
Kernel subsystems:
- kernel/wait.c: wait queues and one-shot completion barriers, backed by a
static sleeper pool so a blocking path never re-enters the allocator.
- kernel/futex.c: 32-bucket futex hash with value re-check, requeue, and an
fmutex_t sleeping mutex built on the uncontended-fastpath protocol.
- kernel/rcu.c: tiny RCU with reader nesting, deferred callbacks, kfree_rcu
and rcu_assign_pointer/rcu_dereference publish barriers.
- mm/page_cache.c: write-back block page cache, 4 KB pages indexed by
(device, page), CLOCK second-chance eviction and dirty write-back.
- kernel/ktest.c: KUnit-style harness with 6 built-in suites, 21 cases and
735 assertions covering every subsystem above (all passing under QEMU).
LazyBox userland:
- coreutils.c: sort, uniq, cut, tr, rev, tac, nl, seq, diff, xxd, du,
factor, sum and truncate, reading through the VFS and handling the
zero-length synthetic nodes that procfs and sysfs expose.
- ktest, rcuinfo, futexinfo, waitinfo and pagecache diagnostics applets.
