- * ## ⭐ Why this lives in `@uniweb/api` and not in a package of its own
+ * ⭐ **It answers what the backend answers, for the routes this package uses** —
+ * the same statuses, the same bodies, the same refusal titles, measured against a
+ * real backend on 2026-09-18 (`../wire.js` records each). Code written against it
+ * should not change when the site goes live. Where the backend is strict — an
+ * unknown query parameter, a path id that is not a UUID, a missing field in an
+ * op — so is the mock, because a mock that accepts what production refuses turns
+ * a local success into a production bug.
  *
- * Its entire value is **fidelity to what this client expects**, and the cheapest
- * way to guarantee that is to make drift impossible: it is built from the same
- * `../wire.js` the client reads, so a route or field name cannot disagree with the
- * caller — they are the same constant. A separate package would need a version
- * matrix nobody maintains, and would be wrong quietly.

  *
- * ⛔ **It ships Node code, and the browser must never reach it.** That is why this
- * is a separate export (`@uniweb/api/mock`), never imported by `index.js` or
- * `client.js`, and `tests/environment.test.js` walks the import graph from the
- * browser entries to keep it that way.

  *
- * ## What it is, and what it is not
+ * ## Where it answers
  *
- * ⭐ **It is the executable statement of what this package pins.** Backend asked
- * *"tell us what you pin, and we will treat it as a contract"* — this is that
- * answer in a form you can run. Where `../wire.js` marks a shape ASSUMED, this
- * server implements the assumption, so pointing the same suite at a real `uniwebd`
- * measures the delta instead of arguing about it.
+ * Its routes are the API's own — `/auth/me`, `/entities` — under whatever the
+ * site's `api` address is. It accepts a request with the site's `/_api` prefix
+ * still on, and one with an extra `/api` after it (how clients before 0.4
+ * composed URLs), so it answers the same whether or not the server mounting it
+ * strips its path.
  *
- * ⛔ **It is not a model of the real backend, and no doc may cite it as one.** It
- * answers what this client asks. A behaviour it happens to have is evidence about
- * this mock and nothing else.
+ * ## What it models, and what it does not
  *
- * @param {object} [options]
- * @param {object} [options.seed] - accounts, schemas and entities to start from
- * @param {string} [options.signedInAs] - a seeded `username` to start signed in as, for a
- *        demo whose subject is the signed-in view. Development-only by construction, since
- *        this whole module is; throws if the username is not seeded.
- * @param {string} [options.prefix] - the path the API is mounted under (default `/api`)
- * Supply `seed.schemas[model].sections` (the framework's LOWERED sections map) and
- * item writes are shape-checked: a `many:` section is ENFORCED, everything else is
- * recorded on `.diagnostics` and allowed — see `./schema-shape.js` for why that
- * asymmetry is deliberate rather than lenient.
+ * One operator (`operator: true` on a seeded account) and members; every
+ * signed-in account reads every entity, the owner and the operator write it;
+ * `creatable_by: 'unit_members'` Models are created by the operator only; sign-up
+ * leaves an account unverified until the link in `mock.outbox` is followed. It
+ * does not model entitlements behind `via`, nested sections, or second factors.
