/// A GENUINE FAULT -- `EACCES`, `EIO`, a record that exists but will not parse
/// -- is always a refusal. Shepherd's own bookkeeping is broken and it cannot
/// reason about the request, so it must not permit it.
///
/// AN UNBOUND SESSION is not a fault. It is the ordinary state of every session
/// that has not run a seed, a plan, and lane binding, and refusing there means
/// the plugin governs sessions that never entered a sprint. Whether it does is
/// project policy (`[guard] dispatch_custody`), not a law: `bound` (the default)
/// enforces custody only once a session actually holds a dispatch record,
/// `always` restores the old unconditional refusal, `never` disables it.
///
/// Fail-closed remains correct for the fault case, which is the case it was
/// written for. Applying it to a session that simply never opened a sprint is
/// what made this plugin refuse ordinary work in its own repository.
