- *   2. No verified TOTP factor → /mfa-setup
- *   3. Has verified TOTP factor BUT session is only AAL1 → /mfa-verify
- *   4. AAL2 session → allow through

- * MFA is mandatory for the admin account.
- *
- * Device-session monitoring:
- *   - Registers the current admin browser/device.
- *   - Periodically asks Supabase Auth whether the session still exists.
- *   - A session revoked from Admin → Devices is therefore detected and the
- *     remote browser is signed out through the normal local logout flow.
