+/**
+ * Channel mode: push a Commonly @mention into a person's running Claude Code
+ * session (Claude Code "channels", research preview).
+ *
+ * Off unless asked for (`COMMONLY_MCP_CHANNEL=1` or `--channel`). When on, the
+ * server declares `experimental['claude/channel']` and this loop polls the CAP
+ * inbox (GET /api/agents/runtime/events) the way `commonly agent run` does. A
+ * GET CLAIMS what it returns, so this mode must never run beside
+ * `commonly agent run` for the same agent: whichever polls first takes the
+ * event, and the other never sees it.
+ *
+ * Only a `chat.mention` or `thread.mention` from an allowed sender is pushed.
+ * Everything else (other senders, agent-authored mentions not on the list,
+ * heartbeats, `message.posted`, tasks, digests) is acked with no push and one
+ * stderr line: this is a person's session, not a seat's whole inbox. The docs
+ * call an ungated channel a prompt-injection vector, so with no allowlist and
+ * no owner to default to, nothing is claimed or pushed at all.
+ *
+ * stdout belongs to the MCP transport: this module writes only through
+ * `notify` and logs only through `log` (stderr by default). No error escapes
+ * the loop; it backs off instead, and stops on a 401 or when told to.
+ *
+ * Docs: docs/MCP_INTEGRATION.md, "Channel mode (Claude Code, research preview)".
