ZDDC 1d758780fe feat(elevation): page-wide armed chrome when admin mode is on
The header toggle alone is easy to miss — admin elevation bypasses
WORM zones and ACL silently, so an admin who forgot they were
elevated could write into received/ or issued/ thinking they were
operating under their normal grants.

Two reinforcing affordances when the zddc-elevate cookie is set:

- body.is-elevated paints a 3px red outline around the entire page,
  visible from any scroll position and inside any tool surface.
- A sticky red banner sits across the top with a pulsing dot, an
  explicit warning ("write access bypasses WORM and ACL safeguards"),
  and a one-click "Drop admin" button that clears the cookie + reloads
  so the user can disarm without hunting for the corner toggle.

Both render on every page load via shared/elevation.js — applies to
every tool that includes the elevation slot, plus any tool that loads
the shared bundle even without a toggle host (the iframed classifier
inside browse's grid mode, etc.). Wired before the access fetch so
the banner appears immediately instead of waiting on /.profile/access.

// shared/elevation.js — admin elevation toggle.
//
// Sudo-style model: admins behave as normal users by default; clicking
// the header toggle elevates the session so admin escape hatches (WORM
// bypass, .zddc edit authority, profile admin scaffolds) start firing.
// State is carried in a `zddc-elevate=1` cookie that the server reads
// via handler.ACLMiddleware → zddc.Principal{Elevated}.
//
// Only renders the toggle when /.profile/access reports the caller has
// some admin scope — a non-admin sees nothing, which keeps the chrome
// quiet for the common case. The toggle fades in once access loads so
// non-admins never even see the affordance flash.
//
// Click flow: set/clear the cookie, then reload the page so the server
// sees the new state on the next render. The reload is intentional —
// admin scaffolds in tool HTML are server-rendered for some tools, so
// a soft state flip on the client alone wouldn't reach those.
