The SDK's delivery is decided; the git URL violates it

ADR 0014 is accepted and unambiguous: each module consumes its dependencies from
the private registry, the mesh's own shared library included, and a cross-package
change is publish then consume.

So the git dependency at a pinned commit is not a mechanism under consideration.
It is the shared library being consumed a way the record rules out, and the lock
naming a sibling directory is what that looks like when nobody publishes. Issue
053 is reclassified from a question about mechanism to a violation with a
direction.

What stays open is narrower and real: which software serves the private registry,
and that a fresh mesh has none when the first SDK is built — ADR 0014 assumes one
exists, and at genesis nothing has installed it.

Recorded after arguing at length for a bespoke content-addressed alternative,
against a decision that was already made and that I had not read.

### What this leaves open
- **Which registry.** The catalogue holds a `verdaccio` module, and a forge typically serves package
registries too. Two answers exist and nothing says which is the mesh's. That has to be settled
before anything publishes.

[ADR 0014](../../02-DECISIONS/0014-no-npm-workspace.md) says each module consumes its dependencies
from the private registry, the mesh's own shared library included. Which software serves it is
not: the catalogue holds `verdaccio`, and a git host usually serves package registries too.
- **And the bootstrap does not have one.** ADR 0014 assumes a registry exists; on a fresh mesh
nothing has installed one when the first SDK is built. That is the same pivot as everything else
and it has not been designed.
- **Who may publish.** A builder pushing a package needs an account on that registry, which is a
credential in the bootstrap path and does not exist yet.
- **Versions and ranges.** Everything else the mesh delivers is pinned by digest, and a range is
