+// Decisions (design §12.1; exploration iw6kfmxg Security): what an ask to the user (`@me`) opens. No routes: the
+// agent message routes (ask @me) and the console routes (/api/decisions) call it.
+//
+// - Stored form: {id, messageID, from, about, sessionID?, question, options, recommendation?, urgency, tier,
+//   deadline?, onTimeout?, state, at, expiresAt, escalatedAt?, answer?}, per user in the StateStore. The ask
+//   message (stored by the delivery engine, recipient the user) carries it: it closes when the Decision is
+//   answered, and the Decision expires with it.
+// - Only the user answers (never a session or app, never the asker); `tap` Decisions only from a signed-in
+//   console (the device cookie, not a device token). The first answer wins (a version-checked write); later
+//   ones get `gone`. The answer goes back to the asker as the user's reply to the ask.
+// - Deadlines: at the deadline, `onTimeout` (only an option marked safe) answers it, recorded answeredBy
+//   "timeout"; without one the Decision stays open and escalates once (notified again). The loop (start/tick)
+//   looks at every user's open Decisions, so deadlines survive restarts.
+// - Text is sanitised (question by the message store; labels, ids and reasons here). Notifications carry only
+//   the Decision (the push layer sends a generic body).
+// - Actions (P3-T8, P3-T9): the hub (never an asker) may attach an action (an escalated permission request, a grant
+//   request); the user's answer runs it through `act` as that user after the answer wins (its note, e.g. the grant
+//   id, joins the asker's reply). Its subject gone → the Decision closes and the answer is gone; it fails → the
+//   Decision opens again.
+// - close(): a Decision whose subject went away (a permission answered elsewhere) is closed, not answered; the asker
+//   hears why.
+// - Every open and change (answer, timeout, escalation, expiry, close) goes to `changed` (the console's 'decision' event).
