Name the account agents run as on a node, and say whether it can become root
On the control node every agent ran as the operator's account, which has passwordless sudo, so an agent could become root without a person (hq ADR 0266). A node now names an agent account at the controller's terminal only; the agent's module declares it never to become root, the node-engine judges that, and the self-check (DA) raises agent-can-become-root while it does not hold, so ADR 0259's router can rest on it.
