S3: the read seat-list answers the operator's sessions and the healers, as its seat says

The node-engine seat's definition names "the operator and the healers" for
both seat-list verbs, and design 47 G keeps it; the read was opened to every
proved caller on a ruling the review withdrew. node-tools stays on both: every
console call is proved as its machine's tool runner (issue 627, issue 1966).
