package main

// kit.go is the same file in each of the workstations' tool bundles (fonts, docker-compose, snapd,
// flatpak, cups, bluetooth, xclip, dmenu): how a tool runs a command, escalates, bounds what it
// keeps, and names a failure. A module is built from its own directory, so the file is copied rather
// than shared; a change to one copy is made to all eight.
//
// The rules it holds (novox/hq research 026/05, to-be 38 WP4):
//   - the node's tool runtime runs as the operator account, not root (ADR 0175 §4); a command that
//     needs root goes through `sudo -n`, never a prompt, and a refusal is named as such;
//   - one command gets 20 s, below the runtime's 30 s call limit, and is ended with everything it
//     started when it takes longer;
//   - each stream is kept to 256 KiB, and the answer says when it was cut;
//   - a failure is an error with what went wrong in it, never an empty answer.
