+Added `audit.capabilities.enforce: true` so Custodian's CAP1 verifies the
+capability OperatorConsole owns (`context_bootstrap` →
+`operator_console.bootstrap.build_resume_prompt`) resolves here. Registry located
+via the existing `cross_repo.platform_manifest_repo` sibling; `capabilities` also
+whitelisted in `plugin_audit_keys` for the lagging-doctor typo-guard. Enforced by
+PlatformManifest's capability-refs gate (OperatorConsole added to its owning set)
++ pre-push.
