# COTAL_BRIDGE_SOCKET is intentionally NOT declared as a required/prompted env var: in managed
# mode the Cotal launcher always presets it, and in standalone mode (a user's own `hermes`) the
# plugin spawns the bundled sidecar itself and derives it — see __init__.register(). The platform's
# check_fn gates enablement instead, so an unrelated gateway never gets prompted for it.
