/**
 * `vana app ask "<question>" --sources a,b --derived <scope>`
 *
 * The consent path by default: the question travels inside an access
 * request, so the person approves the question itself and the app ends up
 * holding a grant on the answer rather than on the sources it was computed
 * from. `--registered` switches to the builder-registered path, which needs
 * a read grant on every source scope and says so.
 *
 * This composes commands that already exist rather than reimplementing
 * them: it creates the request, waits for the answer to settle, and reads
 * the derived scope through the same escrow path, gates and receipts as any
 * other read. Costs are reported separately (see derivatives.ts).
