-    * Launchers (init, the desktop, the shell) look up the authority a program
-    * should receive here instead of each carrying its own compiled-in table.
-    *
-    * This file is advisory, never authoritative.  Every grant still goes
-    * through SYS_SPAWN_CAPS and is validated in the kernel against the
-    * caller's own delegable set, so nothing written here can produce authority
-    * the kernel has not already delegated to the launcher.  A missing,
-    * truncated or hostile file can only ever result in a program receiving
-    * less authority than intended.  That is why the table can live in
-    * userspace TOML: the kernel enumerates protected paths, userspace
-    * interprets policy.
-    *
-    * Grants are keyed on the resolved binary path, which is what makes the
-    * table safe to hand to init: pointing a privileged service entry at a
-    * different executable looks up the new path, finds no entry, and grants
-    * nothing.  The kernel write-protects 0:/apps and 0:/os so the path cannot
-    * be made to refer to a substituted image.
