A plan job (scripts/ci/kernel_rig_plan.py, with its self-test) maps a pull request's changed files
to the areas: tests/kernel-cases/<area>/PATHS for each area, tests/kernel-cases/PATHS-ALL for the
shared core, the ladder whenever any area runs. Areas come from the folders, so a new one needs no
workflow edit. Pushes, merge groups, the release gate and runs by hand run every area. The
kernel-rig check counts a skipped build or shard as passed only when the plan selected none.

kernel-rig.yml builds solidcraft-cli once (release, SMLib prebuilt; sccache on a sticky disk
that only pushes to main and develop commit) and hands it, with the rig's runner, to a matrix
of eleven shards: the ten areas of tests/kernel-cases/, each against its KNOWN_FAILING, and
the ladder against its golden. One path filter covers the kernel surface; drafts skip; a new
push cancels a pull request's old run; merge groups always run it, and the release gate calls
it. The areas other than fillets get a KNOWN_FAILING with only its header, to be seeded from
develop after the SMLib pin bump.
