# ── Tech Support — restricted support user & tooling ─────────────────────────
#
# This module declaratively provisions the `sovran-support` system account that
# the Sovran Hub uses when a user enables remote tech support access.
#
# Security design:
# • Support staff log in as `sovran-support`, not as root.
# • Protected directories (LND, bitcoind, nix-bitcoin-secrets, /home) are locked with POSIX ACLs
# (u:sovran-support:---) by the Hub API as soon as a session is started.
# • The Hub web UI lets the user grant time-limited access to wallet files
# and view a full audit log of every session event.
# • Scoped sudo rules allow support staff to restart specific services and
# read logs — without full root, wallet access, Nix editing, or rebuilds.
# • journalctl access is provided only through the root-owned
# sovran-journal-helper script (see below) with an allowlist of safe flags.

# allowlist of named service restart operations. journalctl is available
