Refuse a node's accounts through any verb, and a stale or service-account agent verdict
The generic command verb ran node account and node agent-account, so an agent could name itself the operator account and have the next send grant it root (hq ADR 0266 review). Refuse every node subcommand but list and show through any verb; refuse the operator account as the agent account in both directions and well-known service accounts as an agent account; and count a verdict heard more than 15 minutes ago as not judged, so stopping the node-engine cannot freeze a healthy one. Re-pin mesh-host to its review head.
