The gate sits on both handlers the runner serves, a module's tools (its ledger repairs
among them) and the seat verbs its modules hold, before the bundle. The same call again
is judged on the router's own record of its act's newest ask: held to the warrant
(operatorchannelclient.For), the option and the act it bound (Performs), within 30 minutes
of the choice, and claimed by compare-and-set (Client.Take) before it runs, so one
approval runs one call. A later call is told it still waits, was declined (not asked again
for 10 minutes), or asks anew after expired, approved too long ago or already run. A
runner's own tool marked is refused unasked; with no state approvals bound a marked call is
refused and an unmarked one runs. The gate's reach (state, publish, the router's record)
is the runner's own connection, in one place; it waits for the catalog half's first view
on the events the runner hears.

The gate digests a marked call's act (address, node, module and tool or seat and verb,
build, each argument as itself or its canonical JSON), refuses at once and asks nothing
for a secret's shape or more than 16 KiB of arguments, and otherwise asks through
operator-channel's client under the marked module's name, its ask kept in the runner's
state approvals under the machine's keys with the act and the whole arguments, the act's
key naming it. The ask shows each argument whole only where it may leave the mesh, and the
first call answers Not run, with the router's record or without it within 5 seconds.

The gate (node-tools/internal/approval) derives a module's marked tools and verbs, and the
subjects of its marked events and restricted streams, from its served entry (the build its
composed environment's fingerprint names) and the newest, unioned while they differ, and
the seat definitions' verb marks, which no holder unmarks. A bundle whose marks name a tool
it does not register is not loaded, its finding mark-unserved raised through the runner's
held writer and cleared when a bundle serves it. The first views now start whether or not
the console listens, since the gate reads the catalog half too.
Builds: design 46 7-approval-mark §5, §4 (at load), §3; design 34 every-event §33; lead answer A-154
