// privatae-bastion — a single static binary that turns this machine into a bastion
// into your Privatae network. No Docker, no Python, no separate WireGuard install.
//
// The tunnel runs in userspace (gVisor netstack) for the forward path, so `run`
// needs no TUN device and no root. You pair with a short token from your host's
// "Set up a bastion" action; the binary generates its OWN keys and pulls only its
// cert + routing from your host. Distributed via npm / a plain binary.

Usage:
  privatae-bastion pair <token>   enroll this machine with a token from your host's "Set up a bastion".
                               Each pair ADDS a host — one daemon serves them all; pairing an
                               already-paired host is refused (it would rotate its credentials)
  privatae-bastion pair -      the same, with the token as the first line of standard input,
                               so it is not in the process list or your shell history. Every
                               form of pair below takes - in place of <token> as well
  privatae-bastion pair --replace <token>
                               re-pair an already-paired host: rotates its credentials, keeps
                               its local port, context store, and DCN state
  privatae-bastion pair --redeem-url unix:///run/privatae-host/enroll.sock <token>
                               pair with a Host on THIS machine that has no platform: the
                               token is redeemed over that socket, the lanes go over the
                               lane socket the Host names, and its CA is pinned for life
  privatae-bastion pair --redeem-url https://127.0.0.1:8810/v1/local/redeem --host-ca <pem> <token>
                               pair with a Host that has no platform and runs in a VM on
                               this machine: the token is redeemed over TLS that trusts
                               that CA alone (name host.cseries.internal), the lanes go to
                               the lane port the Host names, and the CA is pinned for life.
                               No coder runs over this pairing
  privatae-bastion pair <pairing code skp_…>
                               the same pairing from the one code a Cloud Host's card gives:
                               it carries the enroll address and the CA's fingerprint, and
                               the CA is taken from the enroll port only under that
                               fingerprint. On a local machine that already serves a Host,
                               it asks here whether to add this one as well. Exit 3: already
                               paired with this Host, nothing changed
  privatae-bastion run            bring up the tunnel + lanes for EVERY paired host
                               (a loopback control port per host for the verbs below:
                               127.0.0.1:7878, then 7879, …)
  privatae-bastion add-folder [--host <host>] <path> [name]
                               add a folder to your network — your files stay here; Privatae
                               Host keeps only the index; you approve on your Host with your code.
                               --host (a host name or unique prefix) is required when more
                               than one host is paired
  privatae-bastion stepup-enroll [--host <host>] [--rotate] [--console-only]
                               enroll a second factor ON THIS MACHINE: from then on your host
                               can only reach a folder or move files here after you approve
                               the request on this machine — the host never handles the code.
                               --console-only: show the secret only on this console and keep
                               it only in the system service's state (an installer's elevated step)
  privatae-bastion tray        Windows, beside the system service: your icon and approvals
                               window, as you; started at every sign-in
  sudo -H privatae-bastion claim-owner <name>
                               state who owns this machine. Root is required because there
                               is no authority above the box to ask. The name travels to every
                               host this machine serves and shows on its card there. Optional,
                               and it grants nothing anywhere
  privatae-bastion unpair <host>  remove a pairing: tears its tunnel down and deletes the pairing
                               (root on a networked bastion). Your context store and DCN
                               state on this machine are left in place
  sudo -H privatae-bastion set-mode <local|networked>
                               local (default): one host, non-root is fine, a second pair is
                               refused. networked: a root-owned service serving several hosts,
                               where every pairing after the anchor waits for the anchor host's
                               approval. install.sh --networked sets it for you
  privatae-bastion service install|uninstall|status
                               macOS and Windows: run this bastion as the system's own
                               service (launchd as root; a Windows service as LocalSystem),
                               so the machine's administrator, not the signed-in user,
                               decides whether it runs. Needs machine authority.
                               install.sh --networked / install.ps1 -Networked do it for you
  sudo -H privatae-bastion claim-anchor [--owner <name>] <token>
                               networked mode: redeem a token from YOUR host and make it the
                               anchor — the one host that approves who else may pair here.
                               Needs root; works on a box with no pairing or one pairing
  sudo -H privatae-bastion claim-anchor --rotate [--owner <name>] <token>
                               move the anchor to a DIFFERENT host. Needs root AND the
                               current anchor's signed consent (anchor.consent.json), or
                               14 days without a heartbeat from it
  sudo -H privatae-bastion release-anchor --host <name> (--host-ca <pem file> | --force)
                               the anchor host is gone (its data deleted): drop the anchor,
                               unpair it and set its DCN state aside, so a new Host can be
                               paired and anchored. Needs machine authority. --host-ca is the
                               NEW Host's CA, refused when it is the one this box pinned (that
                               Host is not gone); --force skips that check, at a terminal only
  privatae-bastion approvals-owner --sid <SID> [--replace]
                               Windows, beside the system service: the one account whose tray
                               may list and answer approvals. Machine authority; a different
                               SID needs --replace, at an Administrator terminal only
  sudo -H privatae-bastion claim-anchor --repin
                               same host, new name: re-sign anchor.json from the
                               pairing this box already holds, after the host's
                               own address changed. No token. Cannot move the
                               anchor anywhere.
  privatae-bastion approvals [--host <host>]
                               show what your host is asking to do on this machine, in plain words
  privatae-bastion approve [--host <host>] <id>
                               approve one request with a code from the authenticator enrolled here
  privatae-bastion deny [--host <host>] <id>
                               refuse one request
  privatae-bastion approvals drop [--host <host>] <id>
                               take back an approval this machine issued and has not used yet
  privatae-bastion grants drop <store id> [--host <host>]
                               remove a folder grant held on this machine; the host is told
  privatae-bastion device-init    make THIS machine your approval device: from then on a write a
                               host asks of any machine you govern is approved with a tap here
  privatae-bastion device-approvals   what your machines are asking you to approve, in their words
  privatae-bastion device-approve <id>|all / device-deny <id>
  sudo -H privatae-bastion pin-device <key>
                               on a machine you govern: accept approvals signed by your device
                               (the key device-init printed). unpin-device <key> withdraws it
  privatae-bastion ops [--host <host>]  the ops your host wrote that this machine holds, and the
                               standing op grants; ops drop <grant> takes one back
  sudo -H privatae-bastion root-exec grant [--host <host>] --for <30d>
                               let the anchor host run commands AS ROOT here, one at a time,
                               with no approval per command, until the time you choose. Asks
                               for the code from the authenticator enrolled here. Every command
                               is recorded here whole
  privatae-bastion root-exec [--host <host>]   the root-command grant held here, if any;
                               root-exec revoke takes it back
  privatae-bastion quarantine clear <host>
                               reopen a host's write lanes this machine closed after repeated
                               refusals (5 in 10 minutes)
  sudo -H privatae-bastion switch <host> <family> on|off
                               switch one capability family off for a host on this machine,
                               or clear that refusal (the console page's switch). Off only
                               removes reach; on grants nothing past the host's signed grant
  privatae-bastion switch --list  every paired host's families, on or off, one per line
  privatae-bastion coders set [--max N] [--mem MB] [--cpus F] [--engines a,b|all] [--allow-lan h[:p],...]
                          [--image-prefix <registry/path/>|default]
  privatae-bastion coders on | off | drop [--host H] | status [--json]
                               let your hosts run sealed coding runs on this machine (Linux, as
                               root): how many at once, how big each is, which engines. Off by
                               default; each run has no network but a proxy to the internet
  privatae-bastion git-setup      print the two git config lines that route git.privatae.ai
                               through this bastion (the forge is reachable only this way)
  privatae-bastion git-credential git's credential helper — fetches your forge token from your
                               host on every git auth (git-setup resets the helper chain so no
                               other helper caches it)
  privatae-bastion ui             open the local UI in your browser — what this machine is
                               doing, on this machine. Served by the running bastion on
                               127.0.0.1 and reachable from nowhere else
  privatae-bastion context        choose what your files become on your network. Runs as
                               you, so it shows exactly what you can already open, and asks
                               your host before anything is added
  privatae-bastion status         show every pairing + tunnel status
  privatae-bastion observe:baseline   record what is NORMAL on this machine: every automated
                               program, its user and a digest of the file it runs from.
                               Administrator only. --force replaces an existing baseline
  privatae-bastion observe:baseline:show   print the baseline this machine holds
  privatae-bastion observe:delta  what is running here that the baseline does not hold:
                               new programs, replaced binaries, new standing jobs, with
                               the ordinary ones filtered out. Administrator only.
                               --json for the full record including what was filtered
  privatae-bastion observe        print what this machine would report about agents, automations
                               and scheduled jobs on its next check-in (read-only, JSON)
  privatae-bastion backup key init | key show | reseal | requests | approve | deny |
                          restore-plan | share | shares | unshare
                               backups: make this bastion's backup key, and hand one
                               backup's key to a host that restores it, when you approve.
                               `+"`privatae-bastion backup`"+` lists the forms
