feat(rumpk): Sovereign Ledger - VirtIO Block Driver & Persistence

- Implemented 'virtio-block' driver (hal/virtio_block.zig) for raw sector I/O.
- Updated 'virtio_pci.zig' with dynamic I/O port allocation to resolve PCI conflicts.
- Integrated Block I/O commands (0x600/0x601) into Kernel and ION.
- Added 'dd' command to NipBox for testing read/write operations.
- Fixed input buffering bug in NipBox to support longer commands.
- Added documentation for Phase 10.

+# Sovereign Ledger: VirtIO Block Driver
+
+## Overview
+Phase 10 "The Sovereign Ledger" introduces persistent storage capabilities to **Rumpk** via a custom **VirtIO Block Driver**. This allows the **NipBox** userland to perform direct sector-level I/O operations on a raw disk image (`storage.img`), establishing the foundation for a future Sovereign Filesystem.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### 1. Hardware Abstraction (L0 HAL)
+- **Driver:** `hal/virtio_block.zig`
+- **Device ID:** `0x1001` (Legacy Block) or `0x1042` (Modern).
+- **Transport:** Leverages `hal/virtio_pci.zig` for universal PCI resource discovery and I/O port allocation.
+- **Mechanism:** Synchronous Polling (Busy Wait).
+  - Uses a 3-Descriptor Chain per request:
+    1.  **Header:** `VirtioBlkReq` (Type, Priority, Sector).
+    2.  **Buffer:** Data payload (512 bytes).
+    3.  **Status:** Completion byte (0 = OK).
+- **Orchestration:** Initialized in `hal/entry_riscv.zig` via `hal_io_init`.
+
+### 2. Kernel Core (L1 Logic)
+- **Command Ring:** Adds `CMD_BLK_READ` (0x600) and `CMD_BLK_WRITE` (0x601) to `ion.nim`.
+- **Arguments:** `BlkArgs` structure marshals `sector`, `buffer_ptr`, and `len` across the User/Kernel boundary.
+- **Dispatch:** `kernel.nim` routes these commands from the `chan_cmd` ring directly to the HAL functions `virtio_blk_read/write`.
+
+### 3. Userland Shim (Membrane)
+- **Syscalls:** `libc_shim.zig` exposes `nexus_blk_read` and `nexus_blk_write`.
+- **Packaging:** These wrappers construct the `BlkArgs` struct and invoke `nexus_syscall`.
+
+### 4. Userland Application (NipBox)
+- **Command:** `dd`
+- **Syntax:**
+  - `dd read <sector>`: Dumps the first 16 bytes of the sector in Hex.
+  - `dd write <sector> <string>`: Writes the string (UTF-8) to the sector, zero-padded.
+- **Protocol:** Uses the new IO syscalls to interact with the Ledger.
+
+## Deployment & Verification
+- **Disk Image:** `build/storage.img` (Raw, 32MB).
+- **QEMU:** Attached via `-drive if=none,format=raw,file=build/storage.img,id=hd0 -device virtio-blk-pci,drive=hd0,disable-modern=on`.
+- **Status:**
+  - **Write:** Confirmed successful (Hexdump valid on host).
+  - **Read:** Driver operation successful, data verification ongoing.
+  - **Boot:** Stable initialization of both Network and Block devices simultaneously (via fixed PCI I/O allocation).
+
+## Next Steps
+- **Data Integrity:** Investigate zero-readback issue (likely buffer address mapping or flag polarity).
+- **Filesystem:** Implement a minimalist inode-based FS (SovFS) on top of the raw ledger.
+- **Async I/O:** Move from busy-polling to Interrupt-driven (Virtqueue Notification) for high throughput.
