a new kind of task quota inspired by : energy.
Imagine if you could restrict a browser tab to consume no more than 1J of energy

How would you measure that? The current state of that is abysmal. e.g. when your fan spins up, who's responsible?

literally put an integrating current sensor in your device & reset it every time you task-switch

But what if I heat up the cpu to just below fan activation and trick the next process into cooling for me?

if you mean "how do I exclude current used by autonomous cooling system", then you route it around the sensor :)

Delayed kernel tasks/delayed anything? So many power using hardware components I could establish a causal relationship with.

another (somewhat contrived) example: I display a dialog, causing the user to reach for the touchpad, waking it in the process.

touchpad wouldn't be counted towards task usage. the only two hard cases here are non-timeshared resources & asymm. multicore

"asymm multicore" maybe solve with exclusive timesliced execution? Assuming you have the non-timeshared resources pinned down.
