`fs: workspace-ro`, `net: [api.github.com]`, `secrets: [GITHUB_TOKEN]`,
`hooks: [pre_tool]`. Install-time consent; the sandbox tiers enforce
(T1 WIT world for WASM, MCP servers run as T2 children with that policy).

**Except `net`, which is requested and never granted.** No tier can enforce a
per-domain allowlist — the egress proxy `docs/14` §policy describes is not
built — and since M14.8 a `NetPolicy` naming a host is refused outright rather
than approximated. A plugin declaring `net` therefore gets *no* egress, and the
consent prompt says so in those words rather than listing the hosts as though
they were granted. Sentence corrected here because it claimed enforcement that
does not exist, which is the specific failure `panday_plugins`' own note warns
about: "a capability that grants nothing in the sandbox is a lie told at the
consent prompt." The field stays in the manifest so the requirement can be
expressed once and mean something the day the proxy lands.
Distribution: `.plugin` archive, ed25519-signed; registry tiers

storefront over the same registry API.
