valopers package

Auth returns a read-only description of the realm's current governance authority (for rendering / inspection). It renders as

1contract_authority[contract=gno.land/r/gov/dao,proposer=contract-identity]

i.e. "GovDAO governs this realm, and only GovDAO may drive it" — a statement an on-chain reader can act on. The proposer half is load-bearing: without it the string is byte-identical whether the authority is gated or wide open (see ContractAuthority.String).

It deliberately does NOT return the live *authz.Authorizer: an exported handle to the authority would let any realm reach its mutators (Transfer, DoByPrevious, ...) directly. Returning a description instead of the handle keeps that surface unreachable from here in the first place. Valoper.AuthOwner follows the same rule for per-operator auth lists.
