Designs 25, 26, 51: cite ADR 0620 and ADR 0621; the owners serve their first views as tools in a runtime of their own

ADR 0621 keeps the manifest form as it is, so the process-subject form, its mesh-sdk change, the
open point on who grants it and the push's wait on a judge release all go; the per-verb grants and
the record's four checks take their place.
