+ * [ADR-0131 D6 regime C] The generic `/data` door refuses a `sys_sharing_rule`
+ * row that takes a declared rule's name, over HTTP, in the ADR-0112 envelope.
+ *
+ * A declared sharing rule (a stack's `sharingRules`) is read-only and clonable:
+ * it is customised by a clone under ANOTHER name plus the declared rule
+ * switched off in the activation ledger. So no organization-authored row may
+ * take a declared rule's name — not a new row, and not an existing row renamed
+ * onto it. `content/docs/permissions/sharing-rules.mdx` publishes the answer:
+ * `409 RESOURCE_CONFLICT`, for Setup's New and edit forms and for scripts and
+ * imports through the data API.
+ *
+ * The refusal is plugin-sharing's `bindDeclaredRuleNameGuard`
+ * (`DeclaredSharingRuleNameConflictError`), a `beforeInsert` / `beforeUpdate`
+ * hook on `sys_sharing_rule`. Its unit pins drive the hook over a fake engine
+ * and the `POST /sharing/rules` door's pin builds the thrown shape by hand;
+ * neither reaches the door those forms and scripts actually write through.
+ * This file does: a booted composition, an administrator signed in, and
+ * `POST` / `PATCH {basePath}/data/sys_sharing_rule` over the HTTP app, so what
+ * is asserted is the wire answer a client receives — `status` and `code`.
+ * The `/data` door's declared-4xx answer is its flat envelope: `code` is the
+ * machine token at the top level, beside the human `error` sentence
+ * (`mapDataError`, `@objectstack/types`) — read there, not through a fallback
+ * that would also accept the nested `error.code` other families answer.
+ *
+ * Composition: the plugin set, in order, `@objectstack/verify`'s `bootStack`
+ * uses (it mirrors `objectstack dev` / `serve`), as the #21516 and #21454 pins
+ * assemble it, with the production `autoDefaultOrganization` default so the
+ * administrator's rows have an organization to belong to. The declared rules
+ * come from the application's own `sharingRules`, as a real stack declares
+ * them. The boot is paid in `beforeAll`, never inside a case.
+ *
+ * The CONTROL is the same create under a name no declaration holds: it lands,
+ * so the 409 is the guard's answer about the name and not the rig refusing
+ * every write to this object.
+ *
+ * Each refusal targets its OWN declared rule, and `code` is asserted beside
+ * `status`, because this object's unique constraint on the name also answers
+ * 409 (`UNIQUE_VIOLATION`): with one shared name, a create that wrongly landed
+ * would turn the rename's answer into that other 409, and a status-only pin
+ * would read it as the guard's.
