docs: give the phone path an answer that does not start with "configure TLS" - #88

…re TLS" The docs said, correctly, that reaching the decision surface from a phone requires the customer to terminate trusted TLS in front of the runner. That was the only phone path, and it disqualified the target buyer: a dental practice will not stand up an enterprise reverse proxy, so the phone path was documented as real and was unavailable to the people it was for. There are two paths now, and this says which is which. The hosted lane needs nothing on the customer's network. The runner dials OUT, so there is no inbound port, no port forward, no certificate, no reverse proxy and no static address, and it works behind NAT on ordinary broadband. Connect the computer once, enable remote decisions bound to the exact tenant and runner, and staff answer from a web page on a phone. What it carries is stated exactly, because "we send less" is only trustworthy if the reader can check it. The closed halt context is closed enums, bounded integers and booleans with no string field and no image, so the hosted service is structurally unable to hold a name, an MRN, an observed value or a workflow label. It is not scrubbed evidence. The one thing it gives up -- the target control's accessible name -- is named rather than glossed. The runner-local portal keeps its warning verbatim, because it is still true of that surface and it is still the right surface for an organisation that operates an ingress. It is now framed as the full-fidelity option rather than the only option, and the warning points at the alternative. The configuration reference gains the settings, the credential, the profile ceiling rule, and the note that every misconfiguration stops the console: a lane that looks on and is not is worse than one that is plainly off.

Why
The docs said, correctly, that reaching the decision surface from a phone requires the customer to terminate trusted TLS in front of the runner. That was the only documented phone path, and it disqualified the target buyer: a dental practice will not stand up an enterprise reverse proxy. So the phone path read as available and was not.
The hosted lane closes that (OpenAdaptAI/openadapt-cloud#184, merged and deployed; OpenAdaptAI/openadapt-flow#296 + #297). This says which path is which.
What changed
concepts/halt-learn-loop.md— "Reaching it from a phone is your ingress, not ours" becomes "Reaching it from a phone", with two subsections:What the hosted lane carries is stated exactly, because "we send less" is only trustworthy if the reader can check it: closed enums, bounded integers, booleans, no string field, no image — structurally unable to hold a name, an MRN, an observed value, or a workflow label. Explicitly not scrubbed evidence. The one thing it gives up — the target control's accessible name — is named rather than glossed.
guides/security-and-data-handling.md— the decision-surface bullet now distinguishes the full-evidence runner surface from the hosted lane, and says plainly that a customer without an ingress uses the latter.reference/configuration.md— a new section with thehuman_decisions.remotesettings,OPENADAPT_RUNNER_TOKEN, thecontext_tiervalues (and thatlocal_fullis refused by name), the rule that the execution profile's ceiling and the configured tier both apply and the weaker wins, and a note that every misconfiguration stops the console rather than running one whose phone lane is silently absent.Accuracy
