🛡️ 200-level security clearance ladder

Every soul has a level.
Every level has a purpose.

The install questionnaire computes your starting clearance — a number between 1 and 200 based on your threat model, recovery quorum, VPN posture, subscription tier, and visibility choices. The number is real — it gates apps, themes, audit visibility, recovery latency, and what kinds of Pouffekeys you can mint.
