-/**
- * Claude Desktop chat guard (Windows).
- *
- * Claude Desktop's regular chat sends prompts straight to Anthropic's API — it
- * exposes no hook and never touches an MCP server, so neither the Claude-format
- * hooks nor the MCP gateway can see what a developer types there. This guard
- * closes that blind spot with the SAME on-device deterministic engine used
- * everywhere else (scanDeterministicPrompt).
- *
- * Two modes:
- *   - warn  (default): advisory. A PowerShell UI Automation watcher reads the
- *     focused Claude input, this process scans it locally, and on a finding it
- *     toasts + reports a monitor event. No keyboard hook, no input mutation —
- *     cannot break typing, no keylogger surface.
- *   - block (org-policy opt-in): everything warn does, PLUS the watcher installs
- *     a low-level keyboard hook that swallows the Enter "send" while a secret is
- *     in the box, so the prompt cannot be sent to Anthropic.
- *
- * Safety model (why this cannot freeze/crash a machine):
- *   1. ALL native code (the keyboard hook + its message pump) runs in the CHILD
- *      PowerShell process. The Node daemon only does a fast regex scan and a
- *      tiny file write; it is never in the keystroke hot path.
- *   2. The hook callback does only a volatile-timestamp read + a cheap
- *      foreground check, returning in microseconds — far under Windows'
- *      LowLevelHooksTimeout. A slow LL hook is silently removed by Windows
- *      (keys pass through); it FAILS OPEN, it never freezes the keyboard.
- *   3. The block is armed as a short time WINDOW (auto-expires ~2s after the
- *      last detection). If the daemon dies, stops arming, or the child is
- *      killed, Enter is released within ~2s — the keyboard can never get stuck.
- *   4. block mode is OFF by default; the hook is only installed when an org
- *      opts in, so the default fleet behavior is the risk-free advisory mode.
- *   5. Detection stays 100% in the shared Node deterministicGuard (single
- *      source of truth); the child never re-implements detection.
- *
- * Text is scanned in-process and never uploaded — only finding metadata (item
- * id + masked value) is spooled.

+ *
+ * Reading the composer — why MSAA, not UI Automation:
+ *   Claude Desktop is Electron/Chromium. Chromium's UI Automation support is
+ *   "very limited" (their own docs) — the ProseMirror composer's text is never
+ *   exposed through UIA Value/Text patterns (verified: a typed marker never
+ *   appears in any UIA node). Chromium DOES fully implement MSAA/IAccessible
+ *   (the API screen readers use). So the watcher reads the composer via
+ *   oleacc's AccessibleObjectFromWindow on the Chrome_RenderWidgetHostHWND
+ *   child window, walks the accessible tree, and reads accValue of the editable
+ *   text node (ROLE_SYSTEM_TEXT). The AccessibleObjectFromWindow call itself
+ *   wakes Chromium's accessibility tree, so no --force-renderer-accessibility
+ *   or WM_GETOBJECT dance is needed.
+ *
+ * Advisory ONLY: no keyboard hook, no input mutation, no keystroke capture. It
+ * reads only the composer text of Claude Desktop's own window (scoped to the
+ * "Claude" process — never any other application), scans it in-process, and —
+ * on a finding — shows a native toast and reports a monitor event to the fleet.
+ * Text is never uploaded; only finding metadata (item id + masked value) is
+ * spooled. It cannot break typing and presents no keylogger surface.
+ *
+ * Deliberately NOT gated on the foreground window: a foreground check goes blind
+ * the instant the user alt-tabs after typing, and MSAA reads Claude's composer
+ * whether or not Claude is focused. Scoping to the Claude process (not the
+ * active window) is what keeps this from ever reading other apps.
