+ * The operations of pivotkit's front ends without a browser, as one table: the command line
+ * (pivotkit-cli), the MCP server (pivotkit-mcp) and a REST service. Each entry has its name, its
+ * words (title, description), its input and output as JSON Schema, how it is reached over HTTP, what
+ * it needs from its front end, and `run(input, env)`. A front end brings the `env` (where data comes
+ * from, where a link points to) and decides what happens with a file `run` returns; the table holds
+ * no file system, network or protocol code, so it runs in Node and in the browser alike.
+ *
+ *   const { result, file } = await OPERATIONS.render_view.run({ source: "sales", view, format: "xlsx" }, env);
+ *
+ * The JSON Schemas carry no "$schema" key: they are draft 2020-12 (what MCP's SDK and OpenAPI 3.1
+ * read). Errors a front end must handle are OperationError with a code of OPERATION_ERRORS; a view
+ * with errors is no error: `ok: false` with its findings.
