Environment / auth

APPLE_NOTES_ALLOW_WRITES
Register the mutating tools. Off by default, and the gate decides whether the write tools exist at all rather than merely refusing — an agent with writes off cannot see them.
APPLE_NOTES_ACCOUNTS
Restrict every read and write to these Notes accounts, by name.
