+**Capabilities**
+
+When using `allowed_peers`, assign the minimal capability set each UID needs:
+
+- `read`: access to `get_status`, `get_temperature`, and other read-only RPCs.
+- `write`: reserved for future mutating RPCs.
+- `admin`: required for privileged RPCs (`ensure_cluster_keys`, `register_nodes`, `request_cleanup`).
+
+Legacy `allowed_peer_uids`/`allowed_peer_gids` grant all three capabilities for backward compatibility. To keep a containerized Pulse deployment read-only, list its UID under `allowed_peers` with `capabilities: [read]` and remove it from the legacy lists.
