fix(linux/build): mark build-inner.sh executable (M1.1)

Run #4252 died at:

    runuser: failed to execute /workspace/SilverLABS/SilverMetal/linux/build/scripts/build-inner.sh:
    Permission denied

The script was created on the WSL/Windows side (/mnt/c) where every
file appears world-rwx regardless of git's index, so the local
`chmod +x` was a no-op as far as git was concerned and the file got
committed at mode 100644 like any other regular file. Sibling scripts
(build.sh, verify-reproducibility.sh, diagnose-divergence.sh) all
correctly carry 100755 in the index.

Fix: `git update-index --chmod=+x` to set the bit in the index
explicitly, independent of the working-tree perms.

README.md

SilverMetal OS — Linux

Status: Phase 1 (planning) → moving to milestone 1.1 (reproducible Kicksecure fork build)

🔒 SilverMetal OS product line — we ship the operating system.

The reference SilverMetal flavour. Tier A — full kernel-level hardening, verified boot we control, Debian/Kicksecure-based.

Scope (v1)

See ../docs/roadmap.md Phase 1.

Hardening must-haves

Kicksecure base (Debian-derived, hardened upstream)
linux-hardened kernel + KSPP sysctl/build flags
Secure Boot with our shim/MOK
TPM2 PCR-bound LUKS2 unlock (Argon2id), full-disk encryption mandatory
AppArmor strict profiles for browsers, mail, viewers, networked daemons
GrapheneOS hardened_malloc as system allocator
bubblewrap + Flatpak primary; firejail for legacy .deb
nftables default-deny inbound, encrypted DNS, SilverVPN always-on default
Zero upstream telemetry — verified by integration test
SilverBrowser default (ungoogled-chromium-rebranded v1)
SilverVPN integrated from existing SilverLABS/SilverVPN (Linux client + tunnel service)
SilverSync v1 (Nextcloud-backed, client-side encryption)
A/B updates with rollback, signed by our keys
Optional amnesic session mode

Out of scope (v1)

Atomic / immutable root (v1.1 — ostree experiment)
dm-verity on / (v1.1)
ARM64 / Apple Silicon (v2)
Tor-by-default variant (sibling product later)

Verification gates (must pass before public alpha)

Two clean builds from same commit → identical SHA256
kconfig-hardened-check passes
Lynis hardening score ≥ 90
30-min idle telemetry capture: zero packets to MS/Google/Apple/Mozilla/Canonical/Debian/analytics
TPM tamper test: LUKS correctly falls back to passphrase
AppArmor: every networked binary confined or documented
Independent privacy-engineering review

Upstream we depend on

Kicksecure — fork base
linux-hardened — kernel patchset
GrapheneOS hardened_malloc — allocator
KSPP — kernel config authority
secureblue — reference for v1.1 immutable design
SilverLABS/SilverVPN — VPN client + tunnel service (existing, integrated)
