+-- v1.36.0 — the cookie transport's acting-account carrier.
+--
+-- One nullable column, and the whole reason it is a column rather than
+-- something the client sends: a browser cannot address this row. The session
+-- cookie carries a 32-byte secret whose hash is the lookup key, so nothing
+-- reachable from the client names, reads, or writes `acting_as_user_id`. The
+-- only writer is the switch endpoint, which validates the grant first.
+--
+-- It is still a SELECTOR and not an authorization. The resolver joins it
+-- against a live row in `account_grants` on every request, so a value stranded
+-- here by a grant that has since been revoked or expired confers nothing at
+-- all. Nothing sweeps this column for correctness — sweeping it (on revocation,
+-- on account deletion) is housekeeping so the delegate's browser lands back in
+-- its own account instead of on a wall of 403s.
+--
+-- ON DELETE SET NULL, not CASCADE. The two ends mean opposite things here:
+-- deleting the session's OWNER should take the session with it (that is the
+-- existing `user_id` cascade), while deleting the account being ACTED ON must
+-- leave the delegate's browser session alive and simply put it back into its
+-- own record. A CASCADE on this side would sign a delegate out of their own
+-- account because somebody else deleted theirs.
+--
+-- The index is not for the resolver — that reads by primary key. It is for the
+-- two sweeps that go the other way: revocation clearing every session of the
+-- delegate pointing at this owner, and the SET NULL above when an account is
+-- deleted. Both scan on this column.
