+The default `pc_least_privilege = false` still runs the workload with an
+AppContainer token. Set it to `true` to request the stricter Less Privileged
+AppContainer (LPAC) variant. Windows AppContainer tokens retain the launching
+account's user SID and group SIDs. Seeing the same username or
+`BUILTIN\\Administrators` in `whoami /all` therefore does not mean the sandbox
+can exercise administrator access: Windows
+requires both the user/group and AppContainer package/capability sides of an
+access check to grant the requested operation. The MXC real-binary integration
+suite verifies `TokenIsAppContainer`, `TokenAppContainerSid`, and denial of a
+non-mutating administrator-gated Service Control Manager open.
+
 Set `egress_proxy = true` with `egress_proxy_addr = "127.0.0.1:18080"` to enable the Windows Pattern C split. The address must be a `127.0.0.1:PORT` socket. The driver allocates a unique ephemeral port per sandbox, injects that listener through proxy environment variables, and stages the public proxy CA beneath the sandbox's configured `<cwd>/.openshell-proxy/<sandbox-id>/`. A non-empty per-sandbox `cwd` is therefore required when governed egress is enabled; sandbox-specific subdirectories prevent concurrent sandboxes from overwriting each other's trust files. MXC denies direct Internet egress but allows `127.0.0.1/32`; this permits dynamic forwarding but also means the sandbox can reach unrelated host services bound to loopback.
 
 MXC rejects policies containing `network_middlewares` before launch because this host-proxy path does not receive the gateway middleware registry.
