+ * THE FILE DOOR — reading and writing the OPEN PROJECT'S OWN FILES, over
+ * project-relative paths, with the same two-owner shape as
+ * {@link EditorHostKeyboard} and {@link EditorHostHistory}.
+ *
+ * ARCHITECTURE-CORE §The core is Code-OSS: *"the storage backends → file
+ * system providers, the dev server as one provider"* — and the rule above it
+ * that governs HOW: **everything VS Code already does is USED, not rebuilt.**
+ *
+ * ## Why this is a CALL and not a file-system provider (U5, measured)
+ *
+ * Both product shapes already have a real file service over the project:
+ * DESKTOP opens the project folder as the workspace folder on Electron's own
+ * disk provider, and WEB + SERVER (the REH) serves the same folder over
+ * `vscode-remote://`. A `vgai-session:` provider mounting the session's
+ * `/__editor/*` routes would be a SECOND path to bytes the workbench can
+ * already reach — more code, a second cache, and two notions of when a file
+ * changed. So under the frame this door CALLS `IFileService` (and
+ * `ITextFileService` for text), and the session's file routes stay exactly
+ * what the STANDALONE shape speaks.
+ *
+ * ## Why the frame's write is the point (U4's open, closed here)
+ *
+ * A vgai element's REDO used to be lost while a text model for that file was
+ * open: the editor's undo wrote the file through its own transport, which is
+ * an EXTERNAL change to the workbench, so Monaco reloaded and
+ * `modelService.updateModel` pushed a fresh text element — and `pushElement`
+ * destroys the redo future. A write made THROUGH the workbench is the
+ * workbench's own: the open model is updated in place and no reload fires, so
+ * the future survives. That is the reason this door exists rather than a
+ * fourth storage backend.
+ *
+ * ## Paths
+ *
+ * PROJECT-RELATIVE, `/`-separated, no leading slash — `src/scenes/Main.tsx`,
+ * `public/models/hero.glb` — exactly the spelling
+ * {@link EditorHostHistoryElement.resources} uses, and for the same reason:
+ * only the frame knows the workspace folder they resolve against
+ * (`URI.joinPath(workspaceFolder.uri, path)`), and resolving them there is
+ * what lands a write on the same URI Monaco holds for that file.
+ *
+ * This is deliberately NOT `StorageBackend`'s spelling, which means two
+ * different things by tier — measured 2026-09-19: `HttpStorage` is rooted at
+ * `<project>/public/` while a project-rooted backend is rooted at the
+ * PROJECT ROOT, which is why the session grew four separate purpose-scoped
+ * project-root routes beside it (`/__editor/vgai-file`,
+ * `/__editor/project-resource`, `/__editor/data-file`,
