+/**
+ * What a caller on this transport may say: nothing about the filesystem
+ * outside the store, and nothing shaped like a flag where a value belongs
+ * (APRV-421, review findings 3 and 1).
+ *
+ * ## The two holes this closes
+ *
+ * **A published path flag is a filesystem oracle.** `approval mcp serve`
+ * publishes `--log`, `--dir` and `--policy` on the verbs that accept them and
+ * injects the operator's pins only where the operator passed any. On a pipe
+ * the operator handed the server that is harmless: the party at the other end
+ * is the party who started it. Over HTTP the party at the other end is a
+ * sandboxed harness on another machine, and the same flag answers questions
+ * about files it cannot see.
+ *
+ * **A positional is a flag if it starts with a dash.** `buildArgv` emits
+ * positionals FIRST and verbatim, and `parseFlags` reads any token beginning
+ * with `-` as a flag. So a caller refused `{"flags":{"--payload":"…"}}` could
+ * write `{"positionals":["--payload","/tmp/secret","t1"]}` and reach the same
+ * flag through the front door — including the `--payload=/tmp/secret`
+ * spelling, which `parseFlags` splits on `=`. Positionals are VALUES. One that
+ * looks like a flag is refused rather than escaped, because escaping is a
+ * thing to get subtly wrong once and lose.
+ *
+ * `trailing` needs no such rule and deliberately does not get one. `buildArgv`
+ * always emits `--` before it, and `parseFlags` STOPS at `--`, pushing the
+ * remainder into positionals without reading a single token as a flag. A
+ * blanket refusal of dash-leading trailing elements would instead break the
+ * one agent verb that needs them: `hook classify -- git push -f` classifies a
+ * command line, and command lines have flags. The invariant that makes this
+ * safe is pinned by a test rather than assumed here.
+ *
+ * ## The rule, by scope
+ *
+ * **Both scopes.** No positional may begin with `-`. `--dir`, `--log` and
+ * `--policy` are appended to every call from the launch configuration and are
+ * refused from a caller even when the value is correct: one process serves one
+ * store, and a caller restating it is a caller that believes it can choose.
+ *
+ * **Agent scope.** Every path-typed flag is refused OUTRIGHT rather than
+ * confined: a sandboxed harness has no files on the daemon's machine, so a
+ * path it names is either useless or somebody else's. Payload bytes reach the
+ * gate for such a harness through the hook route, which builds the envelope
+ * from the tool call itself. On top of that, only the flags named in
+ * {@link AGENT_FLAGS} are accepted at all, per verb, so a flag added to one of
+ * the seven agent verbs tomorrow is refused until somebody decides otherwise.
+ *
+ * **Tenant scope.** Every path-typed flag is CONFINED to the store, and which
+ * flags those are comes from the registry ({@link pathFlagsOf}) rather than
+ * from a list kept here, so a flag declared `"path"` tomorrow is confined on
+ * the day it appears. Positionals that name files are confined the same way.

+ * The two bearer credentials `approval serve` reads from its launch

+ *
+ * ## Two credentials, because there are two parties
+ *
+ * SPEC.md §11 names the agent the untrusted policy and the human the trusted
+ * overseer, and a hosted deployment adds a third fact: the log and the policy
+ * belong to the TENANT, while the harness that is judged by them runs
+ * somewhere else entirely (design/hosted-daemon-identity.md, §1). So this
+ * server has two doors and never one.
+ *
+ * - The **agent credential** ({@link AGENT_TOKEN_ENV}) reaches the
+ *   agent-facing verb surface and the harness hook. It is the credential a
+ *   sandbox holds, and the sandbox is the party under oversight.
+ * - The **tenant credential** ({@link TENANT_TOKEN_ENV}) reaches the log, the
+ *   export and the status report. It is the credential the tenant's own tools
+ *   hold.
+ *
+ * **The agent credential must never read the log it is judged by.** That is
+ * the sentence the split exists for. An agent that can stream the verified log
+ * can read every decision made about it, every other action in the tenant's
+ * store, and the shape of the oversight it is under; an agent that can export
+ * the store can carry all of it away. Neither is a thing the gate would ever
+ * grant, so neither is reachable with the credential the gate hands the
+ * harness. The refusal is a scope refusal and not a not-found, because a
+ * caller that guessed a path deserves to learn that the door exists and is not
+ * theirs, rather than to probe for one that answers differently.
+ *
+ * ## Why the environment

+/**
+ * The two bearer credentials `approval serve` reads from its launch
+ * environment, and the scope each one buys (APRV-421).
+ *
+ * ## Two credentials, because there are two parties
+ *
+ * SPEC.md §11 names the agent the untrusted policy and the human the trusted
+ * overseer, and a hosted deployment adds a third fact: the log and the policy
+ * belong to the TENANT, while the harness that is judged by them runs
+ * somewhere else entirely (design/hosted-daemon-identity.md, §1). So this
+ * server has two doors and never one.
+ *
+ * - The **agent credential** ({@link AGENT_TOKEN_ENV}) reaches the
+ *   agent-facing verb surface and the harness hook. It is the credential a
+ *   sandbox holds, and the sandbox is the party under oversight.
+ * - The **tenant credential** ({@link TENANT_TOKEN_ENV}) reaches the log, the
+ *   export and the status report. It is the credential the tenant's own tools
+ *   hold.
+ *
+ * **The agent credential must never read the log it is judged by.** That is
+ * the sentence the split exists for. An agent that can stream the verified log
+ * can read every decision made about it, every other action in the tenant's
+ * store, and the shape of the oversight it is under; an agent that can export
+ * the store can carry all of it away. Neither is a thing the gate would ever
+ * grant, so neither is reachable with the credential the gate hands the
+ * harness. The refusal is a scope refusal and not a not-found, because a
+ * caller that guessed a path deserves to learn that the door exists and is not
+ * theirs, rather than to probe for one that answers differently.
