-// The store holds many projects since 0.55.0 and resolution is BY REPO
-// (credentials.mjs). What is left here is the human half: an ambiguous store
-// on a TTY becomes a PICKER, a single unbound credential gets ONE confirm that
-// binds it, and a headless start with no unambiguous answer refuses in words
-// that name every stored project and every way out. The one thing this block
-// must never do is serve a project the resolution did not name — "it said
-// skadooble in my calendar repo" is the confusion this exists to end.
-// A RESTART IS NOT A PERSON. `reexec` (update.mjs) inherits stdio, so an
-// auto-updated daemon's child sees two TTYs; without this it would stop on the
-// binding confirm below and the machine would stay dark until somebody typed a
-// key. Same reasoning as the headless case, and the same answer.
-// `canPrompt()`, not a bare isTTY pair: a BACKGROUNDED job (`flowviant &`) has
-// two TTYs and cannot be asked anything — the first read raises SIGTTIN and the
-// kernel STOPS the process, which is why 0.55.2's timeout did not save it (a
-// stopped process runs no timers). See tty.mjs.
