```
function mayPrune(
  policy: PrunePolicy,
  owned: boolean,
): boolean
```

Whether surplus topology may be removed.

`owned` is the default because it is the only one that is safe without
knowing where the session came from: a workspace prunes what it built and
leaves alone what it merely found. `always` authorizes pruning for one
operation; it does not stamp or otherwise adopt the session.

## Parameters

- `policy` (`PrunePolicy`)
- `owned` (`boolean`)
