+ * to call. Pushing a teammate's question into a live session — which has every tool and its
+ * user's permissions, where the fork that answered had neither — would have made that sentence
+ * false and forced the doc to be amended. Pulling it keeps the sentence true as written.

+ *
+ * The pipeline it drives is the CLI's, tested and unchanged — find the transcript, settle it,
+ * sanitize, collect touched paths, upload. The obvious implementation is therefore to spawn
+ * `popover vault create --json` and relay what it prints. It is not what happens, and the
+ * reason is Windows.
+ *
+ * `popover` on Windows is a `.cmd` shim, and Node refuses to spawn a `.cmd` without a shell.
+ * With `shell: true` the arguments are pasted into a `cmd.exe` command line, where `&`, `|`,
+ * `^` and `>` are operators — and every argument here is written by a model: a title, a list
+ * of questions, a slug. That is untrusted-input-into-a-shell, on the machine this is being
+ * built on, to save a wire format. The escape hatches are worse than the problem: locating the
+ * CLI's real `.js` inside the shim is guesswork about npm's layout, and hand-quoting for
+ * `cmd.exe` is a thing to get wrong quietly.
+ *
+ * So it goes over the pipe the other four tools already use. The daemon needs nothing new to
+ * be reachable, holds the device token already, and already POSTs to the vault routes; the
+ * shared decisions — `planVault`, `collectToolPaths`, `packBody` — moved into
+ * @popoverinstall/shared so the terminal and the daemon build byte-identical payloads. No
+ * child process, nothing to quote, and the same code path on every platform.
