host's finding on 6b7aad91. claudeLoginState ran two `runAs` probes in parallel,
and each is a `sudo -n setpriv` fork/exec that writes a line to
/var/log/auth.log. It is reached from /agent-status, which sits on a grant every
role holds by default, so a polling UI would have cost two sudo spawns and two
auth-log lines per poll per member — cheap individually, unbounded in aggregate,
and the auth log is where a real sudo event has to stay visible.
One call answering both questions with markers instead of two exit codes. Did
not take his second suggestion of caching `installed`: one call per request is
cheap enough that a second mechanism with its own invalidation is the worse
trade, and that judgement is recorded in COMMS so a polling UI can revisit it.
Also carries the verify list he asked for, including the pertento host key I
accepted on first use so git could reach his remote — he can compare it against
the server, which I cannot.
