+ * declared capabilities, Blossom servers, and source URL — are tucked behind a "What it can access"
+ * disclosure; capabilities are also re-confirmed at the consent prompt when the napplet actually uses
+ * one. It never executes applet code; launching runs in the platform host's sandbox via [onOpen]
+ * (a null [onOpen] — no paths — hides the button).
  *
