+/**
+ * lib/org/inbound/broadcast.mjs — "did a human just address EVERYONE?"
+ *
+ * PURE. No IO, no clock, no config. The one place the collective-address
+ * vocabulary lives on this side of the org.
+ *
+ * ── WHY THIS EXISTS ──
+ * On 2026-09-21 a human posted in #general: "Can everyone give me an update on
+ * what they're doing right now (across sessions on your machines)?". Thirteen
+ * agents were members. Zero replied. Not a regression — a standing gap: the
+ * addressing layer knew DMs, @mentions, threads and prose names, and had NO
+ * concept of a message addressed to the whole room. A space post with
+ * `mentionCount: 0` was dropped structurally (`no_mentions_not_threaded`)
+ * before its body was ever read, on every seat, including the ones that were
+ * up and healthy.
+ *
+ * ── THE RULE (implemented by `resolveMessaging` in directedness.mjs) ──
+ * A space post is a BROADCAST when ALL of:
+ *   1. the author is HUMAN — agents never broadcast to each other; a peer's
+ *      "everyone please review" is ambient traffic, not a roll-call;
+ *   2. it is in a public/private SPACE this seat is a member of — never a DM
+ *      (a DM is already addressed by construction and stays a DM even when it
+ *      says "everyone");
+ *   3. it is not threaded — a thread reply keeps the existing thread rule;
+ *   4. the body matches one of {@link BROADCAST_PATTERNS}.
+ *
+ * ── THE TWIN ──
+ * hq carries a faithful port of this module at
+ * `src/server/llm-responder/broadcast.ts` for agents WITHOUT a machine (the
+ * LLM_RESPONDER path). The two are separate packages and cannot import each
+ * other, so BOTH pin the same {@link BROADCAST_CORPUS} in their tests. Change
+ * a pattern here and the hq twin's test goes red until it is changed there
+ * too — that is the drift guard, keep the corpus identical on both sides.

+/**
+ * lib/org/inbound/collective.mjs — a message addressed to EVERYONE: is it work?
+ *
+ * PURE. No IO, no clock, no config. The twin of hq's
+ * `src/server/work/collective.ts`.
+ *
+ * ── THE QUESTION THIS ANSWERS, AND THE ONE IT DOES NOT ──
+ * `broadcast.mjs#isBroadcast` answers ADDRESSING: did a human name the whole
+ * room? This module answers what comes next, and only that: GIVEN that the
+ * room was addressed collectively, is the message a ROLL-CALL (report on
+ * yourself), WORK (go and do a thing), or AMBIENT (neither)?
+ *
+ * It deliberately does NOT re-test the address — `directedness.mjs#
+ * isBroadcastFor` already settled that, and asking twice is how two places
+ * come to disagree about one question.
+ *
+ * ── WHY IT EXISTS ──
+ * 2026-09-21 fixed the first half: "Can everyone give me an update?" drew zero
+ * replies from thirteen members. The half it did not fix: "Everyone, please
+ * review the binder by Friday" drew replies and NO BOARD ROWS, on both planes.
+ * Work addressed to everyone did no work.
+ *
+ * ── THE RULE, IN THE CODE THAT IMPLEMENTS IT ──
+ *
+ * 1. ROLL-CALL AND WORK ARE NOT MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE TEXT, so they are not
+ *    tested in sequence. "Everyone, please review the binder and give me an
+ *    update when it's done" is BOTH shapes in one sentence, and a first-match
+ *    ladder gets it wrong whichever order it is written in. Instead the
+ *    roll-call phrases are EXCISED from the body and the work gate runs on
+ *    what is left: if the residue still asks for work, it is work; if the work
+ *    reading only ever came from the status phrasing, it is a roll-call. That
+ *    is also what keeps "can everyone give me an UPDATE" from being work —
+ *    `update` is an action verb, and without the excision the plainest
+ *    roll-call in the corpus would open thirteen board rows.
+ *
+ * 2. A HEDGE DEFUSES WORK. "everyone should take a look sometime", "feel free
+ *    to review when you get a chance", "no rush" — a board that mints thirteen
+ *    rows for each of those is a board the owner stops opening within a week.
+ *    A hedge is read BEFORE the verb, so no amount of imperative grammar beats
+ *    "if anyone has a minute".
+ *
+ * 3. THE WORK TEST IS hq's. `asksForWork` / `hasSubstance` below are a VERBATIM
+ *    port of `src/server/work/threshold.ts` — not a second opinion about what
+ *    work looks like. A collective ask and a direct ask are the same ask with a
+ *    different audience.
+ *
+ * ── WHAT THIS FILE MAY AND MAY NOT DECIDE ──
+ * It shapes a PROMPT and routes a FAST PATH. It NEVER decides whether a board
+ * row exists. That judgement stays single-implementation on the server:
+ * `work-ledger.mjs` sends `collective: true` plus the body over `board.track`,
+ * and hq's `assessAskWithAudience` runs its own copy of this classifier. A
+ * daemon that got the verdict wrong here therefore loses a nicely-shaped
+ * prompt, never a row it should not have opened.
+ *
+ * ── THE TWIN ──
+ * Both sides pin {@link COLLECTIVE_CORPUS}, byte-for-byte. Change a pattern
+ * here and hq's `collective.test.ts` goes red until it is changed there too —
+ * the same drift guard BROADCAST_CORPUS already runs for the address.
