-# Post-install repair: link runtime assets again, now that the CLI exists
-# ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
-#
-# The framework's own install.sh ends by running `mosaic-link-runtime-assets`,
-# and that script asks the `mosaic` CLI whether lease enforcement can be
-# activated on this host before deciding whether to wire the #828 enforcement
-# hooks into settings.json. On a first install there is no CLI to ask — Part 1
-# runs before Part 2 — so it takes its fail-safe branch, prints a four-line
-# ERROR, and writes settings.json with the hooks stripped out.
-#
-# The result is that a greenfield host always ends up with enforcement
-# disabled, decided by the order the two halves install in rather than by
-# anything about the host. Measured on canary 1125, greenfield, both the
-# `--ref` and `--next` lanes.
-#
-# Running it once more here lets the guard reach its real verdict. The script
-# is idempotent — unchanged files are skipped — so on an upgrade, where the CLI
-# was already present and the first pass already succeeded, this is a no-op.
-# No `--allow-inactive-enforcement`: Part 1 does not pass it either, and this
-# pass must not be more permissive than the one it is correcting.
