//! Consent per project: what of yours an AI agent connected with `sioul mcp`
//! may read, and write into (docs/ai.md, "Consent per project"; docs/mcp.md).
//!
//! **Every project is closed until you open it** (`ai = true` on its entry in
//! `sioul-projects.toml`, `projects::set_ai`): the switch on its page, in its form,
//! or in Settings ▸ AI agents. The sharing carries the entry, so the choice
//! holds on every device. **Things in no project** (the Porch's other mail,
//! tasks of no project, general notes, the agenda, contacts, the phone's
//! messages and calls, papers) follow one setting, `[mcp] outside_projects`,
//! open unless you close it.
//!
//! A thing belongs to a project as the project's page gathers it
//! (`project::view`): a task or an event by its project (REFID) or a tie; a
//! step by its bigger task's too; mail by the project's routes (the sender
//! and the subject; the text and the attachments once Sioul read it, which it
//! ties then), by a tie, and the rest of their conversations, each message as
//! the Porch takes it (`porch::Gate`: never one it sets aside, nor by its
//! sender when nothing authenticates it, so that forged mail claiming a
//! client never reaches an agent through the client's project); a note named in
//! the project's files, inside a folder they name, or tied; a draft by its
//! ties and the message it answers; a contact tied, or the project's client;
//! a budget's line tied, or in the budget the project's invoices go to; time
//! and invoices by their project; a paper letter by its project.
//!
//! **A thing in two projects reaches an agent only when both are open**: an
//! agent never sees a closed project's things, not even half of them. A
//! project taken out of the manifest leaves its things in no project, as its
//! page does.
