+ * `--base-url` and calling the green a witness would be vacuous. This file is
+ * what `OPENWOP_REQUIRE_BEHAVIOR=true` is supposed to make non-vacuous.
+ *
+ * Gated on the `host.forms.contentPacks` advertisement AND the host-sample
+ * instantiate seam, so a host that does not implement RFC 0137 skips cleanly and
+ * stays v1-compliant.
+ *
+ * **The advertisement gate is `behaviorGate`, not a bare `return`.** That is the
+ * difference between a skip you can see and one you cannot: under
+ * `OPENWOP_REQUIRE_BEHAVIOR=true` an unadvertised capability FAILS with a message
+ * naming the profile, instead of quietly skipping to green. A host that
+ * mis-spells its advertisement — serving `capabilities.forms.contentPacks`
+ * instead of a root-level `"host.forms"` — otherwise gets four silent skips and a
+ * green run that witnesses nothing. That is the exact vacuity this scenario
+ * exists to prevent, so the gate must be loud in strict mode.
+ *
+ * The canonical advertisement is a ROOT-LEVEL dotted `"host.forms": { … }`:
+ * `host-capabilities.md` §"How a capability is consumed" pins the `host.`-prefixed
+ * key, and `capabilities.md` §"Document-root layout (normative — RFC 0073)" pins
+ * the document root — a `capabilities` wrapper is a deprecated legacy shape and a
+ * host serving families only under it "is non-conformant and is graded as such".
+ *
+ * What is asserted over the wire (each maps to a numbered §Instantiation rule):
+ *
+ *   #1 — instantiation goes through the host's NORMAL create path, and the
+ *        resulting form carries no routing destination (§F2: a pack MUST NOT
+ *        bind where submissions go; the operator configures that afterward).
+ *   #2 — an unrecognized `vendor.*` / `x-` field type DEGRADES to a plain text
+ *        input rather than failing the instantiation. This is the leg that
+ *        matters most: refuse-everything is a natural implementation instinct
+ *        and it is non-conformant here.
+ *   #3 — pack-authored fields are FULLY EDITABLE, with no privilege over a
+ *        hand-added field.
+ *
+ * F1 (the trust boundary) is deliberately NOT asserted here. Its observable —
