  note: Simple AD is AWS's lightweight directory without forest trusts or SSO integration. Blast radius
    is reduced vs. Managed AD (no forest trusts, no multi-domain escalation), but still grants user-credential
    access within the Simple AD scope. Emit per user if enumeration is available; otherwise blanket to
    the directory node. No CanEscalateTo to domain-admin roles (Simple AD does not use standard AD group
    semantics).
