Hold a private kind's holder to an account of its own, as a verified one is (hq ADR 0259 §7, §8)

A private kind is where the router shows a link's code, and the code makes an account the operator's.
Registration refused a verified-sender holder on the machine's runtime and let a private one stand;
it now refuses both (the confirmation review of 2026-10-09, low).
