feat(core): register IPC buffer for extapp remote

Registered once at coreapp startup rather than by run.py, since run.py can
be invoked multiple times per boot and a re-registration would reset the
kernel queue out from under a running extapp.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This change moves the registration of an inter-process communication (IPC) buffer for the coreapp from a script that can run multiple times (run.py) to the firmware's startup code, which runs only once per boot. The goal is to prevent re-registration from resetting the message queue while an external app is still using it. The change itself is defensive and appears to fix a stability or potential security issue caused by repeated registration.

Recommended action

Review the prior implementation in run.py to confirm the re-registration path is fully removed and cannot be triggered elsewhere. Audit `ipc_register` behavior to ensure it is idempotent or fails safely if called again. Consider whether a running extapp could exploit the window before registration or a missing registration.

Security signals we found

01

IPC buffer re-registration could reset kernel queue under a running extapp

02

Fix prevents potential state corruption or denial of service during extapp orchestration

03

Change is defensive and hardens IPC lifecycle management

04

No explicit vulnerability disclosure or CVE referenced in commit
