-/**
- * dual-control — two-person-rule primitive for destructive operations.
- *
- * b.breakGlass already gates a single-actor step-up (TOTP / passkey
- * proof from the SAME actor performing the unseal). dual-control
- * raises the bar to "two distinct named actors must approve before
- * the operation runs" — the standard control for destructive actions
- * in compliance-sensitive domains (HIPAA admin actions, PCI key
- * rotation, financial close, T+1 settlement, etc.).
- *
- *   var approvals = b.dualControl.create({
- *     namespace: "wiki.destructive",
- *     audit:     b.audit,
- *     ttlMs:     C.TIME.minutes(15),     // grant expires after this; default 15m
- *     minApprovers: 2,                    // dual = 2; quorum can be larger
- *     forbidSelfApprove: true,            // requester cannot also approve; default true
- *   });
- *
- *   // Step 1: requester opens the request
- *   var req1 = await approvals.request({
- *     action:      "<your-domain>.<verb>",   // e.g. operator picks a stable name
- *     resource:    { kind: "user.bulk", id: "older-than-30d" },
- *     requestedBy: actor1,                // operator-shaped { id, email, ... }
- *     reason:      "GDPR sweep; quarter-close",
- *     req:         req,                   // for actor-context capture
- *   });
- *   // → { grantId, status: "pending", needs: 2, approvedBy: [actor1.id], expiresAt: ... }
- *
- *   // Step 2: a DIFFERENT actor approves
- *   var req2 = await approvals.approve({
- *     grantId:    req1.grantId,
- *     approver:   actor2,
- *     reason:     "verified ticket #4421",
- *     req:        req,
- *   });
- *   // → { grantId, status: "approved", approvedBy: [actor1.id, actor2.id] }
- *
- *   // Step 3: code that performs the destructive op consumes the grant
- *   var grant = await approvals.consume(req1.grantId, { req });
- *   if (!grant.ready) throw new Error("not approved or already consumed");
- *   // ... perform users.purge ...
- *
- * Audit posture:
- *   - Every state transition emits to b.audit:
- *       dual.grant.requested  (status pending)
- *       dual.grant.approved   (each approval; metadata.approverCount)
- *       dual.grant.denied     (operator-callable revoke())
- *       dual.grant.consumed   (the destructive op ran)
- *       dual.grant.expired    (TTL hit before approve+consume)
- *   - Each event carries the grant ID + the actor 5 W's so a compliance
- *     reviewer can reconstruct the chain.
- *
- * Storage: the grants live in a b.cache instance the operator passes
- * in (memory backend → per-process; cluster backend → shared across
- * nodes). The cache TTL bounds grant freshness automatically.
- *
- * Validation:
- *   - create() opts: throw at boot on bad shape
- *   - request() / approve() / consume() / revoke(): throw on missing
- *     required args, return { error } on policy denials (already
- *     consumed, expired, self-approval, etc.)

+/**
+ * dual-control — two-person-rule primitive for destructive operations.
+ *
+ * b.breakGlass already gates a single-actor step-up (TOTP / passkey
+ * proof from the SAME actor performing the unseal). dual-control
+ * raises the bar to "two distinct named actors must approve before
+ * the operation runs" — the standard control for destructive actions
+ * in compliance-sensitive domains (HIPAA admin actions, PCI key
+ * rotation, financial close, T+1 settlement, etc.).
+ *
+ *   var approvals = b.dualControl.create({
+ *     namespace: "wiki.destructive",
+ *     audit:     b.audit,
+ *     ttlMs:     C.TIME.minutes(15),     // grant expires after this; default 15m
+ *     minApprovers: 2,                    // dual = 2; quorum can be larger
+ *     forbidSelfApprove: true,            // requester cannot also approve; default true
+ *   });
+ *
+ *   // Step 1: requester opens the request
+ *   var req1 = await approvals.request({
+ *     action:      "<your-domain>.<verb>",   // e.g. operator picks a stable name
+ *     resource:    { kind: "user.bulk", id: "older-than-30d" },
+ *     requestedBy: actor1,                // operator-shaped { id, email, ... }
+ *     reason:      "GDPR sweep; quarter-close",
+ *     req:         req,                   // for actor-context capture
+ *   });
+ *   // → { grantId, status: "pending", needs: 2, approvedBy: [actor1.id], expiresAt: ... }
+ *
+ *   // Step 2: a DIFFERENT actor approves
+ *   var req2 = await approvals.approve({
+ *     grantId:    req1.grantId,
+ *     approver:   actor2,
+ *     reason:     "verified ticket #4421",
+ *     req:        req,
+ *   });
+ *   // → { grantId, status: "approved", approvedBy: [actor1.id, actor2.id] }
+ *
+ *   // Step 3: code that performs the destructive op consumes the grant
+ *   var grant = await approvals.consume(req1.grantId, { req });
+ *   if (!grant.ready) throw new Error("not approved or already consumed");
+ *   // ... perform users.purge ...
+ *
+ * Audit posture:
+ *   - Every state transition emits to b.audit:
+ *       dual.grant.requested  (status pending)
+ *       dual.grant.approved   (each approval; metadata.approverCount)
+ *       dual.grant.denied     (operator-callable revoke())
+ *       dual.grant.consumed   (the destructive op ran)
+ *       dual.grant.expired    (TTL hit before approve+consume)
+ *   - Each event carries the grant ID + the actor 5 W's so a compliance
+ *     reviewer can reconstruct the chain.
+ *
+ * Storage: the grants live in a b.cache instance the operator passes
+ * in (memory backend → per-process; cluster backend → shared across
+ * nodes). The cache TTL bounds grant freshness automatically.
+ *
+ * Validation:
+ *   - create() opts: throw at boot on bad shape
+ *   - request() / approve() / consume() / revoke(): throw on missing
+ *     required args, return { error } on policy denials (already
+ *     consumed, expired, self-approval, etc.)
