+  in-core **before the signer and before the one-shot preview is consumed**. In Slice-1, production ships

+  contains **no approval-accepting code** by asserting the literal `rustok-test-approval:` is **absent**
+  from it (the durable invariant; the `approval-guard` job is the current mechanism). The issuer — the
+  Telegram-`initData` approval channel (authenticated against a secret the agent lacks) that makes a valid

+  **Scope — two distinct surfaces, don't conflate:** this gate is the **on-chain execute** surface
+  (generic calldata via `ExecuteTransaction`, approval bound to the decoded *transaction*). O1's "approval
+  code-gate **on the decoded order**" in its original framing is the **off-chain swap-SIGN** surface
+  (`request_swap` → `SignTypedData` over the decoded UniswapX order) — a **separate surface that is not
+  yet built** (`request_swap` does not exist in `mcp/src`; lock #2 above). So Slice-1 is the
+  execute-surface instantiation of the O1 principle "approval is a code-gate, not a prompt"; the
