One method per task meant a new method, doc page and sidebar entry for every
resource. `request` now takes the resource and a payload whose accepted fields
depend on it, and `check` answers the same question without prompting.
request('folder', { name: 'Documents', access: 'write' }) -> path
request('apps', { access: 'read' }) -> boolean
request('email') -> address
check('folder', { name: 'Documents', access: 'write' }) -> boolean
Returns stay per-resource: a folder gives its path, email the address, the rest
a boolean, and anything denied is falsy so one `if` covers both.
An array asks for several at once. Everything already held is settled first, so
the prompt covers only what is missing and does not appear when the whole set is
held - the user answers once for the lot. `check` answers per entry, in order,
so a caller can tell which parts are missing rather than only that some are.
Each resource declares four things in one registry entry: how to ask for it
alone, whether it is held, the strings a batch pools into a prompt, and the
value once held. The strings themselves are defined once in
lib/permissionStrings.js, so a request and its check cannot name them
differently. `check` is built on /auth/check-permissions, already live and
already used by UI.js, and it throws rather than answering false when the check
cannot run: a caller that cannot tell "denied" from "never ran" would prompt
someone who had already granted it.
Backward compatibility: all 22 older methods stay callable and typed, marked
@deprecated with the call that replaces them. A lone string still routes to the
raw-permission path - no resource name contains a `:` and every permission
string does, so the two forms cannot collide. The grant/revoke app methods are
untouched; the consent dialog and the dashboard's uninstall path use them.
Also drops three copies of the access-level assertion onto one shared
validator, and gives `appRootDir` a non-prompting server probe, since
`app-root-dir:` only resolves while a grant is being written and a permission
check on it always answers false.
