RRFZ 99e79026c5 fix(elf): report the link-time kernel banner, not the kbuild placeholder (#9690)
Since Linux 6.1, kbuild compiles init/version.o with a temporary
UTS_VERSION. Its build number and timestamp stay empty unless
KBUILD_BUILD_VERSION or KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP is set. That weak
linux_banner stays in the image ahead of the banner from
init/version-timestamp.o, and the first-match scan reported it. The WSL
6.18 kernel showed '# SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC ' instead of
'#1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Oct  6 19:13:07 UTC 2026'.

Treat a banner with a space right after '#' or at its end as the
placeholder. Keep scanning and report a later banner that repeats its
text up to '#' and is not a placeholder. Report the placeholder when no
such banner follows.

Feature specifications

This directory indexes proposals and implementation records. It is not a catalog of current capabilities; use the documentation directory for current guides. Preserve original requirements and dated verification evidence when later increments change behavior.

New feature directories use one spec.md, one plan.md and one tasks.md. Some historical records have fewer artifacts; their presence or absence does not establish completion. Do not invent past plans or completed tasks to fill gaps. Follow documentation ownership and authoring for new work, roadmap granularity and producer-owned contracts.
