 * in the sidebar iframe. Kept dependency-free so it is unit-testable.
 *
 * The iframe sandbox (opaque origin, no allow-same-origin / top-navigation)
 * is the primary security boundary; this module is the address-bar gate on
 * top of it: only http/https may be navigated, and loopback addresses are
 * refused so a browsed page cannot probe local services by user action.
 * The GUI's OWN origin is explicitly ALLOWED — the user may open the GUI
 * itself in the sidebar (debugging, mirroring); the sandbox still renders
 * it in an opaque origin with no same-origin privileges, exactly like any
 * other site.
