+## Resolved, 2026-10-02
+
+Both pull requests merged, built and pushed to the two machines that run each module. Checked live, on
+every copy, by asking each one who it is:
+
+- the store seat's `query`, and postgres's own tool on each machine, answer as the reader login —
+  not a superuser, in a read-only transaction — with rows keyed by their columns;
+- mssql's tool, on each machine, answers as its reader login, outside the administrators' role, and
+  returns `$(SQLCMDPASSWORD)` as the literal text it is. Its tools work for the first time.
+
+The escapes themselves were tried only on the throwaway servers above; on the live mesh the check is
+the identity a statement runs as, which is what makes every escape a statement that the login cannot do.
