+//! What a Rust client needs to reach one enrolled server: host, port and
+//! bearer token. Mirrors the shape `ServerConfig.kt`/`Api.kt`'s
+//! `handleEnrollment` parses out of an `aiapp://enroll?host=H&port=P&token=T`
+//! deep link -- the exact link `wg-app-link`'s `enroll` module mints and
+//! `app/ui-sandbox.sh`'s banner prints, so any Rust client can enrol from
+//! the same text a phone would scan as a QR, with no second format
+//! invented for it (RUST.md's E4).
+//!
+//! What this type deliberately does not decide: where it is persisted, and
+//! under what file permissions. A phone seals its token in the Android
+//! Keystore; a desktop client has its own `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/<app>/`
+//! directory and its own file-mode conventions (MACHINE.md: owner-only,
+//! never in the repo). Both are caller-specific, so they stay out of this
+//! crate per the code rules' "ask for the least you need" -- see
+//! `iris/desktop-app/src/config.rs` for the desktop instance.
