// Single source of truth for which execution tier a plugin runs in.
//
// The decision is security-critical: granting 'privileged' creates a
// same-origin iframe (full WebCrypto + IndexedDB + access to the host origin),
// so it must NEVER be granted to an unsigned or unapproved bundle. This helper
// is called by BOTH the loader (load gate, before the same-origin iframe is
// created) and the plugin store (enable gate), so the rules live in one place.
//
// A plugin that *requests* privileged but fails any gate is REFUSED (returns
// `{ tier: null, error }`), never silently downgraded — a crypto plugin cannot
// run in a null-origin sandbox, and a silent downgrade would mask tampering.

/**
* Resolves the execution tier for a plugin. Returns `{ tier }` on success or
* `{ tier: null, error }` when a requested tier cannot be granted (the caller
* should put the plugin into an error state and NOT create an iframe).
*
* Privileged tier gates (ALL required):
* 1. Manifest declares the umbrella high-risk permission `crypto:full`.
* 2. Signed bundle: only bundles delivered through the admin/server channel
* are Ed25519-signed (verified at download time — see `verifySignature`
* usage in the plugin store). Self-uploaded bundles are unsigned and can
* therefore never reach the privileged tier. `managed` is the signal that
* the bundle came through that signed channel.
* 3. Admin approval pins operator trust in this specific bundle.
* 4. Explicit high-risk consent for `crypto:full` (granted via the consent
* dialog at enable time; admin-managed plugins are pre-approved).
