On a chat wake that is the channel; on a ticketing surface it is the issue's comment stream, rendered chat-shaped, and the mapping belongs to the registered read adapter.
+// 🔴 It takes NO TARGET, and that is the whole security property: the container line is STRUCTURAL, so a cross-container read is not expressible rather than refused — unlike the opaque channel key it replaced, whose out-of-scope values were rejected at execute time, a refusal the model could keep attempting. Reach beyond this container belongs to the work plane and to `search`. The output is wrapped untrusted: channel messages are member-authored DATA, not instructions.
