+/**
+ * ── ⭐⭐ ONE COMPARATOR, BECAUSE THE PREFIX IS THE MARGIN ────────────────────
+ *
+ * Every list that gets rendered into a prompt has to sort the SAME WAY ON EVERY
+ * MACHINE, or two workers on one repo send different bytes and share no prompt
+ * cache at all. `repo-map.mjs` worked this out first and wrote the rule down —
+ * "⚠️ NOT `localeCompare` — ICU differs per machine" — and then two other
+ * modules sorted with `localeCompare` anyway.
+ *
+ * ⚠️ AND THEY WERE THE TWO THAT MATTER MOST. `learned.mjs` and `skills.mjs`
+ * render into the system-message PREAMBLE, i.e. the very first bytes of every
+ * prompt. `String.prototype.localeCompare` with no locale argument resolves
+ * against the runtime's default locale and the Node build's ICU data (this
+ * machine ships small-icu), so the same repo can render a different byte at
+ * position 0 on two different machines — and a prefix cache is worth exactly
+ * nothing past its first differing byte. That is precisely the configuration of
+ * a multi-worker fleet, which is the case this project is built for.
+ *
+ * ⭐ THE FIX IS AN ORDERING CHANGE AND NOTHING ELSE. Code-point order is a
+ * property of the strings, not of the environment: it is identical under
+ * `LANG=C`, `LANG=en_US.UTF-8`, and on a full-ICU Node.
+ *
+ * ⚠️ IT IS NOT THE SAME ORDER AS `localeCompare`. Locale collation folds case
+ * ('a' before 'B'); code points do not ('B' = 0x42 before 'a' = 0x61). That is a
+ * visible change to how a catalogue reads, and it is the price of the ordering
+ * being reproducible. Determinism wins: a catalogue whose order depends on who
+ * is running it is not a catalogue.

+/**
+ * ── ⭐⭐ THE CLI FORGETS YOUR PROJECT EVERY SINGLE TIME ───────────────────────
+ *
+ * Every session starts from nothing. It re-derives your conventions from
+ * whatever files happen to fit in the gather, and then gets them wrong in the
+ * same way it got them wrong yesterday: tabs when you use spaces, `require`
+ * when you are ESM, a test in the wrong directory, a commit message in the
+ * wrong style.
+ *
+ * ⭐ THIS IS WHERE A CODING TOOL EARNS LOYALTY, AND IT IS NOT ABOUT THE MODEL.
+ * The BYOK critique is right that a wrapper competing on price loses to Cline
+ * plus a raw key. What a wrapper CAN own is the accumulated context — the thing
+ * that makes session forty better than session one. Claude Code has CLAUDE.md
+ * and it is a real part of why people stay.
+ *
+ * ── ⚠️ WHY THIS IS A FILE IN THE REPO, NOT A DATABASE ───────────────────────
+ * It has to be reviewable, diffable and committable. A hidden per-user store
+ * would mean two developers on one codebase get different agents, the rules
+ * are invisible in review, and nobody can tell WHY the agent did something.
+ * A file in the repo is the only version where "the agent has opinions about
+ * this project" is a thing the team agreed to rather than a thing that happened.
+ *
+ * ── ⚠️ AND THE HARD LIMIT, BECAUSE THIS IS AN INJECTION SURFACE ─────────────
+ * This text goes into the system prompt. Two consequences that are NOT
+ * hypothetical:
+ *
+ *   1. **It is attacker-controlled if the repo is.** Cloning a hostile
+ *      repository and running the agent in it hands that repo a paragraph in
+ *      your system prompt. It is capped, it is labelled as project notes rather
+ *      than as instructions, and the SAFETY RULES ARE RESTATED AFTER IT so a
+ *      "ignore previous instructions" line has already been overridden by the
+ *      time the model reads the tools.

+/**
+ * ── ⚠️⚠️ THIS PACKAGE HAS A TERMINAL AND NEVER ONCE USED IT TO ASK ───────────
+ *
+ * `turn.mjs` takes `mcpAsk` (the question-asker) and `mcpInteractive` (whether
+ * anybody is there). Measured 2026-08-13: **three references in the whole
+ * package, all three inside `turn.mjs`, and no caller anywhere supplies
+ * either.** `mcpAsk` was permanently `null` and `mcpInteractive` permanently
+ * `false`.
+ *
+ * ⭐ The good news first: `mcp-consent.mjs` FAILS CLOSED on a null asker, so
+ * this was never a security hole — nothing was ever silently approved.
+ *
+ * ⚠️ The bad news is reach. `checkMcpConsent` refuses whenever it cannot ask,
+ * so a committed `.mcp.json` could never be approved from a terminal at all;
+ * the only way through was `ACUVO_TRUST_MCP=1`. The two-way MCP story — *be
+ * drivable by agents and able to drive every MCP server* — was gated behind an
+ * environment variable, on a question the user was standing right there to
+ * answer. Same defect shape as `isPolicyProtectedPath` and `parseAuditLog`
+ * before it: correct code, zero callers.
+ *
+ * ── ⚠️ WHY A NEW INTERFACE PER QUESTION, AND WHY IT IS CLOSED IMMEDIATELY ────
+ *
+ * `readline` holds the event loop open. This package has already lost a day to
+ * exactly that: a REPL session kept its owner's loop alive, so the `'exit'`
+ * hook that would have cleaned it up could never fire, and the suite did not
+ * run slowly — it HUNG. A long-lived interface here would reintroduce that in
+ * the one code path every run touches.
+ *
+ * So the interface is created for a single question and closed in a `finally`.
+ * A question is a rare, human-speed event; the cost of building a readline is
+ * nothing beside a person reading a prompt, and "cannot possibly outlive the
+ * question" is worth far more than the microseconds.
+ *
+ * ── ⚠️ AND "NOBODY IS THERE" MUST BE AN ANSWER, NOT A HANG ──────────────────
+ *
+ * In CI, in a pipe, under a task runner, there is no one to type. An agent that
+ * blocks forever waiting for input it will never receive is worse than one that
+ * cannot ask at all, because it fails by TIMEOUT — the least legible failure
+ * there is, and the one that burns a whole CI job to tell you nothing.
+ *
+ * `isInteractive()` requires BOTH streams to be TTYs, and every asker returns
+ * `null` the moment the stream ends. `null` means "no answer exists", which the
+ * caller is expected to treat as a refusal — never as a yes.
