jochen a9307d9f33 The controller seat gains a generic verb: command runs one line of the binary and answers what it printed
Beside the named verbs, `command` takes a command line as the controller's
own shell would — `node account g14 jochen`, `node show ace`, `module list` —
splits it as a shell does (quotes group, backslash escapes, nothing expanded)
and runs it in this binary like every other verb. The named verbs keep their
schemas; this is the whole binary, added because the operator decided any
node may call any tool (hq ADR 0175) and a verb per command was the only
thing keeping the rest behind a shell on the control node. ADR 0154 carries
the dated note. Tests: a plain line, quoted words, an empty line and an
unclosed quote refused.

// ADR 0035 taken literally: the logic lives once, in the command, and a surface is an adapter with no

// that calling it would not — every command opens and closes its own stores the way it does from a
// shell, and nothing a command prints to the process's standard output can leak into another call's
// answer. It also means a refusal is the same refusal in the same words, because it is the same
// output.
