+ * that on the host's OUTSIDE icon with no roll, which handed a passer-by
+ * the inventory of a sealed host for free. The file NAMES were already
+ * gated (grid-view.ts, Host.searchedBy); only this phrase leaked.
+ *
+ * TWO TIERS, and both are rolls the engine already makes
+ * (commands/search.ts matrixSearch):
+ *
+ *   tier 1  Room.searchedBy -- the threshold-1 public row out on the
+ *           grid (MATRIX_SEARCH.public). What the place runs on its host
+ *           is the kind of thing a public search turns up: canon has the
+ *           icon look like the shop (p.219). This set is also flipped by
+ *           a MEAT search of the room, and that is intended -- casing the
+ *           clinic in the flesh is a fair way to learn it keeps a ledger.
+ *   tier 2  Host.searchedBy -- the threshold-3 archive search from
+ *           inside, which additionally NAMES the files (grid-view.ts).
+ *
+ * A cracked host spills it free, exactly as its files already do: the
+ * seal is broken, there is nothing left to hide behind.
