// Handler for `dev-prune trust`.
//
// A tool that deletes directories on a schedule has to answer "what exactly is this
// allowed to do on my machine?", and until this command existed the honest answer was
// "read four documentation pages and three `devp config` keys". This prints it.
//
// Two kinds of row, and the distinction is the whole point:
//
//   - **Guarantees** are structural. They come from the code paths in `engine.rs`, they
//     have no setting and no flag, and a build where one of them did not hold would be a
//     bug rather than a configuration. They read the same on every machine.
//   - **This machine** is read live — the scheduler, the Git hooks, the settings that
//     widen what dev-prune may do. These differ per machine and are the reason the
//     command exists at all.
//
// Nothing here is a self-assessment. Every "this machine" row is a value read back from
// the registry or the OS, and the three rows that can lower the verdict are named
// individually so the report cannot congratulate itself in the abstract.
