+Read from what the store serves rather than from what it was called: both shapes of a kept reference
+— an image and an archive's blob — go to the same registry by digest, which is exactly the provision
+ADR 0075 defined. So the word was wrong and the seat's name was odd, and the provision was right.
+[ADR 0156](../../02-DECISIONS/0156-an-artifact-is-what-a-build-produces-and-the-store-is-named-for-its-scope.md):
+*artifact* means what a build produces, of any of the four kinds; the seat is `mesh-artifact-store`
+with the old name as its alias (one migration, ADR 0122's mechanism); the provision keeps its name.
+The two-implementations question stays as 0075 answered it, with the day to retire the second server
+named. The mechanical check the report asked for is the alias test and the glossary naming the same
+four kinds as design 18's table.
