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.
