+/**
+ * The Leader thread (3.14) — ONE conversation between Mason and the Leader,
+ * whatever the surface: Verse, Telegram, the CLI. This module is the server
+ * core; the Telegram transport and the Verse UI build on its contract:
+ *
+ *   appendMasonMessage(text, { channel, replyTo? })  → { message, reply, directive? }
+ *   listThread({ limit?, before? })                  → messages, oldest first
+ *   postLeaderMessage(input)                         → a proactive Leader message
+ *   pendingOutbound('telegram') / markDelivered(id, channel, ok)
+ *   answerLeaderQuestion(questionId, text, { channel }) → { message, reply }
+ *   approveLeaderAction(actionId, { channel })       → the approval outcome
+ *
+ * ONE BRAIN. Replies are a no-tools conversational call through the Leader's
+ * own seat routing (leader-seat.ts: grok first, then local; routed over the
+ * budget policy clamped to the grant; never Claude — conversation is not the
+ * weekly deep run — and never a cloud fallback). No seat, a failed call or
+ * today's reply cap ⇒ an honest "I can't think right now: <reason>" reply,
+ * never silence. The legacy dialogue brains (comms/elon-dialogue.ts,
+ * comms/director.ts) delegate here or are retired.
+ *
+ * TRUST. Mason's CURRENT message is the operator's instruction (trusted).
+ * Everything else in the prompt — the latest memo, the fleet evidence, the
+ * earlier conversation — is labelled UNTRUSTED DATA, because it contains
+ * model output and text from the fleet. The conversation cannot act: the
+ * Leader acts only through its memo's typed actions under the standing grant
+ * (leader-apply.ts). What Mason says CAN steer every later memo:
+ *   - standing directives (leader-operator.ts) from explicit prefixes
+ *     (`directive:` `focus:` `stop:` `priority:`) or recognised by an
+ *     extraction call that sees ONLY Mason's message — never evidence, so
+ *     injected fleet text cannot become an "operator directive";
+ *   - answers to the memo's questionsForMason (stable questionIds);
+ *   - approvals of pending actions (through leader-apply's own checks).
+ *
+ * STORAGE (~/.ashlr/vision/leader/, 0700; files 0600):
+ *   thread.jsonl       append-only, one scrubbed message per line; rotated at
+ *                      THREAD_LIMITS.maxBytes (the newest lines stay — at
+ *                      most keepOnRotate and half the cap in bytes — and the
+ *                      full previous file is kept as thread.1.jsonl)
+ *   thread-index.json  mutable state the log cannot carry: delivery state per
+ *                      message, memos already posted, replies per day
+ * Appends and index writes happen under one lock; rotation and the index are
+ * atomic renames. A torn last line is skipped on read, never fatal.
+ *
+ * DELIVERY (Telegram). Every proactive Leader message (memo, question,
+ * update) is queued `pending`; a reply is queued only when Mason wrote on
+ * Telegram. The transport drains `pendingOutbound('telegram')` (oldest first,
+ * last 72 h, ≤ 20) and calls `markDelivered(id, 'telegram', ok)`: ok ⇒ sent;
+ * a failure stays pending for up to 3 attempts, then `failed`.
+ *
+ * Memos reach the thread through `syncLeaderMemosToThread()` (idempotent,
+ * called by every read path: listThread, pendingOutbound, the API's run): a
+ * concise `memo` summary (bottleneck, move, top actions with class and veto
+ * window) plus one `question` message per questionsForMason entry.
