+/**
+ * The volunteer protocol (stigmergy v1, slice 2) — pure helpers, side-effect-free so
+ * scripts/test-bridge-volunteer.ts can pin them (bridge.mjs dispatches on import).
+ *
+ * The behavior: a Bridge agent with `"volunteer": true` watches OPEN GOAL tasks
+ * (assigned_to === 'goal') and asks its own model one bounded question — "given my
+ * capabilities, should I volunteer?" — then claims atomically (claimed_via=volunteered)
+ * and runs. OFF BY DEFAULT at every level, per Diego: some teams want the workspace
+ * exactly as it is. Three switches, all must be on:
+ *   1. per-agent  `"volunteer": true`          (the owner's consent — their quota)
+ *   2. top-level  `"volunteering": true|false`  (master kill switch, default true)
+ *   3. the task   `to: 'goal'`                  (the poster's consent — opt-in per task)
+ * And every volunteered run still passes the workspace's per-person delegation policy
+ * (allow / ask / off) exactly like a direct delegation — the "ask" flow parks it in the
+ * owner's Needs-you inbox via the existing resolveDelegation path.
+ *
+ * The decision is CONSERVATIVE BY SPEC: anything that isn't an unambiguous VOLUNTEER —
+ * garbage, hedging, timeouts, errors — is a PASS. Better to miss work than grab it badly.
