+// `broadcast` runs its own per-target send loop without funnelling through
+// sendToInstance, so PR #57's gate did not cover it. ts-reviewer flagged the
+// gap on PR #57 (Out-of-scope Observation 1). This block verifies the gate
+// in three states, scoped per ts-lead's follow-up dispatch:
+//   (a) mixed — limited targets warn + skip, others receive
+//   (b) all limited — every target warns, zero IPC sends
+//   (c) all not limited — behaves identically to pre-fix
+//
+// BroadcastRequestKind already excludes "report", so no kind-bypass is needed.
