- * and `gain` reads a per-file subject rather than one opaque batch line.

- * The valve is a TTY prompt (PRD §4.4 decision A): the injected `ttyPrompt` seam returns
- * the line a human typed at the terminal, compared against the config witness token in
- * FULL (COVENANT-15 — substring acceptance is forbidden). The seam's absence models a

- * the valve is structurally reachable only by a human at a terminal, which is the
- * commit-surface translation of "only a human utterance opens the session valve". The
