Description

We don't currently support querying app capabilities on each peer — add support for that in the runtime (probably wants to live in packetfilter?) and expose in the clients.

Research direction

Start by tracing the runtime and packetfilter components to understand how peer-related queries are represented, then inspect the existing client language bindings. Define the app-capability lookup behavior across those layers and verify that the clients expose the resulting query consistently.
