| Can a module say which of its settings are load-bearing? | The question that dissolves the conflict rule rather than choosing a side. A setting the module *requires* cannot be kept from the machine without producing something installed and broken; a setting it merely *prefers* should always yield. Until a module can say which is which, adoption is defaulting in the dark. Belongs with the graph. |
| Does a `failed` line still let adoption complete? | *Flags inform, they do not block* was decided about conflicts, where the mesh chose and the machine works. A failure is *we could not*, which is different in kind — and treating them alike hides the worse one behind the commoner one. |
| How is a flagged conflict reconciled, and by whom? | The briefing hands it to a session. What that session is empowered to change, and whether the resolution is recorded so the next adoption does not re-raise it, is undecided. |
| ~~How long is a machine adopted?~~ | **Proposed** ([ADR 0100](../../02-DECISIONS/0100-a-node-in-use-is-adopted-before-it-is-converged.md)) — for as long as it is being migrated: a mode per node, recorded, ended by an explicit and previewed flip. |
| ~~How long is a machine adopted?~~ | **Decided** ([ADR 0100](../../02-DECISIONS/0100-a-node-in-use-is-adopted-before-it-is-converged.md)) — for as long as it is being migrated: a mode per node, recorded, ended by an explicit and previewed flip. |
| Where does the kept original live, and for how long? | Whether it is recorded in the node's state so adoption is visibly reversible, and whether it is returned when the mesh stops managing the thing. |
| What shape is a briefing? | Structured enough to be acted on, prose enough to be read. It is the first thing a session on a new node sees, which makes it an interface rather than a log. |
| Does owning a package mean owning its version? | Owning configuration and owning the package are different scopes. The second means the mesh decides which version is installed, and that decision then has to survive the machine's own package manager updating it. |
