/**
 * LearnHarness — the Electron shell (wrapper milestone, 2026-09-17).
 *
 * What this process is and is not:
 *   IS:  a thin launcher + security guard around the app's real server —
 *        `next build`'s standalone server.js (Next 16), spawned as a child
 *        on 127.0.0.1 with the BYOK keys and the LH_DATA_DIR seam.
 *   NOT: a host for any app logic. Everything — teacher turns, extraction,
 *        the graph — runs in the Next server, unchanged.
 *
 * Pattern (fact-checked 2026-09-17 against current Electron 44 / Next 16
 * docs — see .memory release-strategy + electron-wrapper notes):
 *   - spawn via process.execPath + ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1 (Electron's
 *     bundled Node 24; the runAsNode fuse must stay enabled);
 *   - the server dir ships UNPACKED via extraResources (asar archives are
 *     read-only and native .node/dylib can't dlopen from one);
 *   - all mutable state under userData (never inside the .app bundle —
 *     translocated apps are read-only);
 *   - keys ride the child's ENV, never argv; auth.json (BYOK) is a flat
 *     {VAR: value} JSON map, plaintext, mode 0600, hand-edited until the
 *     settings milestone builds the UI.
