 *    opt-in toggle the admin-bar button writes via the AJAX endpoint).
 * 2. The `openstation_mode_enabled` filter returns truthy for that user.
 *
 * Centralising the filter check here means render-time gates (chromeless
 * detection, payload generation, REST permission callbacks) can rely on
 * a single helper instead of every call site re-running the filter.
 * A user whose meta is `'1'` but whose filter denies them is treated as
 * not-enabled everywhere, which is the documented contract of the
 * filter — see docs/examples/gate-by-role.md.
 *

 *                     current user.

 * actually entered OpenStation.

 * We gate on {@see openstation_is_enabled()} instead (the same opt-in +
 * `openstation_mode_enabled` filter the shell itself uses) and return
 * the conventional 401/403 split so REST clients can tell "log in" from
 * "not allowed".

 * pioneered the shape and now delegates here.
