+- **…including the shared root folder every browse starts at.** Both realm trees hang under a single
+  anchor folder (`s=OtOpcUa`, minted in the **raw** namespace by `CreateAddressSpace`; top-level raw

+  ordinary Area an operator happened to name that way and is evaluated as the path it is.
 - **A denied node reports `BadUserAccessDenied` rather than `BadNodeIdUnknown`**, because the gate runs
   before node resolution. That is the information-hiding direction — error codes can no longer be used
   to enumerate the address space — but it does mean "access denied" is not evidence the node exists.
