Replacing Falco with an embedded eBPF sensor for Kubernetes runtime enforcement

Writeup on how we built runtime enforcement into our k8s agent with eBPF instead of shipping Falco alongside it. Covers the syscall tracepoint design, in-kernel filtering with BPF maps, why we picked SIGKILL over BPF LSM, and a staging postmortem where enforcement wasn't namespace-scoped and we took out our own Harbor, Cilium, and RabbitMQ.
