+// Replay gate for the Sanctuary Butler: exercises the live Butler's behaviour over its real A2A path after an
+// upgrade, and reads the outcome back from machine state (tool traces, policy hashes, ledgers, queues), never from
+// reply text alone. Host-side, root, plain Node, no dependencies. Subcommands:
+//
+//   provision                         mint three replay peers (a granted principal, an ungranted stranger, an escalation peer); idempotent
+//   run [--cases a,b] [--plant <id>]  open the replay window, run the cases, close the window, print one JSON line per case
+//   self-test                         run every case's readback against built-in pass and fail fixtures (used by CI)
+//
+// The replay window routes owner notices and A2A await deliveries for the replay peers to
+// <bundle>/state/replay/notices.ndjson instead of Telegram (src/a2a/replay-harness.ts). A failure report that starts in a
+// replay conversation goes only to the replay escalation peer's outbox, never to a real escalation holder (Claude Code). The window file is written
+// here, as root, into a root-owned directory the Butler process cannot modify; it expires on its own.
