+# Carrier 1 — a node property, matched EXACTLY: `prop_value` below is the
+# ONLY spelling the consumer reads as owned. A producer emitting "true", "yes"
+# or "" is NOT owned on this carrier, and only carrier 2 would still catch it.

+# ⚠️ This wording is load-bearing and it CHANGED in round 10. The consumer
+# used to accept any value other than "false"/"0", on the theory that leniency
+# over-excludes and is therefore safe. It is not: leniency buys false-positive
+# exclusion, and it let any process suppress a rival application's audio from
+# the share with a property it did not even have to spell right. Fail-closed
+# on this feature is about ANCESTRY — an unresolvable graph is not eligible —
+# not about parsing.
