jschoubben d19c9ed5b7 Start a rehearsal only at the controller's terminal as main now judges it (hq ADR 0259, ADR 0272)
rehearse refused only a verb's process. Since mesh-cli (ADR 0272 §4) the serving controller runs an
ordinary mesh-cli line without a verb, naming its caller: such a line, from an agent's account, read as
the terminal and could start a question the operator did not ask. rehearse now asks
startedAtTheTerminal. And main's mesh-cli test helper asked is cliAsked, beside the asker's asked.

// The rehearsal of the operator's answers — not a drill, which in the glossary is something broken on purpose (novox/hq ADR 0259, the live acceptance after rollout): an ask the
// operator starts at the controller's terminal, answered on the phone, whose approval changes nothing and is
// recorded as a person's decision like any other.
//
// mesh-controller rehearse [--for 15m]
//
// It asks with two answers, Approve and Decline, each bound to the rehearsal's own act and **both at the level
// approve** (the review of 2026-10-09, M1: an acknowledgement never shares an ask with an approval), so only a
// channel that proves who answered carries either — the rehearsal is of exactly that. The serving controller acts on the warrant
// as on any other: it claims the ask once, checks the act is the one bound, performs nothing, and records the
// hand-act `warrant` with who answered, through which channel, and the proofs. `hand-acts` then shows it.
//
// **The terminal's alone** (startedAtTheTerminal): a command a verb runs, an ordinary mesh-cli line and anything the
// serving controller started are refused, so no agent starts a rehearsal — a
// rehearsal is a question the operator expects, and one an agent could start would teach them to approve what they
// did not ask for.
