//! A workspace's posture, on a runtime it shares.
//!
//! What a workspace allows is its `RuntimePolicy`, and every session it mints
//! carries that policy whole — so the `.git` carve-out, the shell posture and
//! the memory roots hold for its own runs and for nobody else's, whether the
//! runtime underneath belongs to it alone or to five repositories at once.
//!
//! These go through basis's real front door, because that is the only place
//! the claim is testable: a shared `Runtime`, workspaces opened on it, a
//! scripted provider for the turn. Three things are pinned here. That a
//! *rewritten* call meets the same policy the model's own would have — the
//! parent module proves a rewrite is what the tool runs on, and mentra asks
//! the authorizer about exactly that input, so a posture that only judged the
//! original would be judging a call that never happens. That two workspaces
//! sharing one runtime keep two different postures. And the *ordering cost* of
//! saying all this in a policy rather than in a guard of basis's own: a policy
//! is enforced inside the call, so an approver is asked about a command the
//! workspace can never run.
