//! `memoryd` serving memory writes through the sanitizer (M5b spec, sections 6.3, 7 and 13): a
//! refused write answers with the rule's sentence, is logged with the rule's name and its runbook
//! entry, and writes, stages and journals nothing; a flagged identity write becomes an untrusted
//! note at once, even with review on, never reaches the block, and is logged and journalled with
//! its rule; a recalled flagged note is `memory-tainted`. No log line quotes the text. The attack
//! texts here are data, and the fake key is built from pieces. Do not edit.
