/**
 * Permission ordering — an ordered rule list resolves LAST-MATCH-WINS.
 *
 * Scope, so this does not look like a duplicate: `tests/unit/types/Permission.test.ts`
 * (subtask 02) proves that the SCHEMA preserves authored order, and demonstrates the
 * consequence using a resolver defined inside that test file. It says so explicitly: "The
 * full resolver lives in Capabilities.ts (subtask 04)". So the property is currently proven
 * against a resolver that ships to nobody.
 *
 * This suite asserts the same semantics against the SHIPPED resolver. That gap is exactly
 * where a security bug lives: a schema that faithfully preserves `[deny *, allow ls*]` plus
 * a resolver that takes the FIRST match yields "ls denied" — safe-but-wrong — while a
 * resolver that takes the first match on `[allow *, deny rm*]` yields "rm allowed", which is
 * a silently widened permission. Order-preservation without a last-match-wins resolver is
 * not a security property.
 *
 * Semantics confirmed live against OpenCode 1.17.20 —
 * `docs/architecture/canonical-refactor/10-PRECEDENCE-EXPERIMENT.md`: flatten the capability
 * entries in order, then `Array.findLast`.
