Review found the comment load indefensible, worst on backend code at 43% of added lines. Every comment this branch added or touched is now at most two lines, and the ones that only restated the code, narrated a decision already visible in the diff, or justified the PR to its reviewer are gone. What survives is the reasoning a reader cannot recover from the code: why markFilesRemoved keys on the absence of a source, why the divider boundary is frozen as an id, why the contexts are read raw, why "/" is not a destination. Two were not merely long but wrong, describing a retry this PR no longer has: the usePolicyAutoRun gate cited notificationActions.adopt, and its sibling cited "Decrypt and retry". 857 comment lines to 446 across the branch, backend code 273 to 121.
