- * Shared mailbox boundary codecs.
- *
- * GM-P0.2: These are the single canonical validators that every untrusted
- * boundary (tools, HTTP bridge, WebSocket server, HQ gateway, slash commands)
- * MUST use to parse and validate mailbox inputs. They enforce:
+ * Actor-aware mailbox boundary codecs.
  *
+ * They enforce:
  *   - Type + recipient normalization and semantic validation
  *   - Known-field rejection for mutations; forward-compatible tolerance for queries
- *   - Actor-override rejection (body-supplied `from`, `readerId`, etc.)
- *   - Capability checks for directive sends
+ *   - Actor-override rejection (body-supplied `from`, `readerId`, `unreadBy`, …)
+ *   - Capability checks, via the canonical implication graph
+ *   - The shared request bounds from `mailbox-constants.ts`
+ *
+ * ## What actually uses these
+ *
+ * GM-P0.2 introduced this module as "the single canonical validator every
+ * untrusted boundary MUST use". That is not what happened, and the docstring
+ * claiming otherwise was actively dangerous — it invited new surfaces to wire
+ * themselves here on the assumption that the path was battle-tested by the
+ * HTTP bridge. Reality:
+ *
+ *   - `parseMailboxSendInput` — used by the `mail_send` tool
+ *     (`mail-tools.ts`). This is the only codec here with a production caller.
+ *   - `parseMailboxQueryInput` / `parseMailboxAckInput` — exported, no
+ *     production caller.
+ *   - `parseMailboxRegistrationInput` / `parseMailboxHeartbeatInput` — not
+ *     exported from `coordination/index.ts`, no caller anywhere.
+ *   - The HTTP bridge validates through `mailbox-http-validation.ts`; the
+ *     WebUI WebSocket server through `ws-payload-validation.ts`.
  *
- * Downstream tasks (GM-P0.5A) will make the store itself call
- * `validateSendType()` internally so direct typed calls are also gated.
+ * Unused validators rot in a way unused helpers do not: nothing exercises the
+ * rule, so a gap survives review. Two were found here — a body-supplied
+ * `unreadBy` that drove the store's leaders-only audience gate, and an
+ * unbounded `limit` — both fixed below and both pinned by tests. Keep it that
+ * way, or delete the codec: an unenforced boundary is worse than no boundary,
+ * because it reads like one.
