//! Reserved caller-identity sentinels — the SSOT for every internal /
//! system principal string the substrate compares against, stamps on
//! rows, or carves out of cross-tenant ownership gates (#1558
//! identity-sentinel remediation).
//!
//! Scattering these as inline literals is a security hazard, not a
//! style nit: the cross-tenant ownership gates exempt callers whose
//! principal EQUALS one of these strings, so a one-character drift
//! between the site that CONSTRUCTS a privileged
//! [`crate::store::CallerContext`] and the gate that COMPARES against
//! it silently changes an authz decision. The wire-side rejection list
//! [`crate::validate::RESERVED_AGENT_IDS`] is built from these consts,
//! keeping the "reject wire callers claiming internal names" property
//! mechanically in sync with the construction sites.
//!
//! Note the deliberate distinction from
//! [`crate::identity::keypair::DAEMON_KEYPAIR_LABEL`]: that const is a
//! key-file LABEL (which file on disk holds the daemon's Ed25519
//! signing key); [`DAEMON_PRINCIPAL`] here is a CALLER IDENTITY. They
//! share the string `"daemon"` today but govern different mechanisms,
//! so each is named for its own semantic.
